Our children really feel at home at SJP. I can say goodbye in the morning and relax, knowing that they will be happy and safe all day.

The ability to speak with teachers outside of formal parent meetings is fabulous. The open door policy at school is tremendously valuable and something that most schools do not offer.

There is a great range of subjects which are all taught excellently. This is possibly because they are lucky to have so many specialist teachers and a proper timetable ensuring that no subject is missed.

Mrs. Wilson is an inspirational head teacher who brings enthusiasm and innovative teaching methods to the post. She is always ready to listen to parents and to change things if they are not working, but she also provides stability and a clear direction for the school.

The small class sizes allow very good differentiation of work and also excellent support for those children in year 5 who are sitting entrance exams for academic schools.

It is a lovely school and has been a great move for both my children. The friendly, caring atmosphere has meant my children feel confident to try new things and the excellent teaching means that they have been encouraged to fulfil their potential, without feeling under pressure.

We really enjoyed meeting Mrs Wilson and visiting the school. We personally felt Mrs Wilson had the perfect attitude as a headmistress and were really impressed with her approach and her inclusiveness.

I have a small “girly” girl and a bright, boisterous, “Alpha Male” boy at St John’s Priory and the school helps each reach their full potential.

My son has joined the school in Year 4 and has been welcomed immediately into his class and the school in general.

I love the wide curriculum and feel that the foreign languages particularly will arm my children with the skills they need to thrive in a modern world. This school has the facilities and the enthusiasm of the larger schools coupled with the freedom to do what is best for each child. The best of both worlds. Mrs Barnes, parent
