    We build our school on our core values of aspiration, resilience, creativity, community and kindness.

    Our aim is to foster the intellectual, emotional, social and spiritual development of all our pupils. We believe that children need a caring, consistent environment where they are treated with respect and where their well-being is seen as paramount.

  • A sense of moral and spiritual awareness

    A sense of wonder and curiosity about the world around them

    A love of learning and the desire to achieve high standards

    A growing ability to relate to and communicate with other people

    A sense of their citizenship of the school and the wider community.

  • Our school is linked with and supported by our parish churches of St John the Evangelist and St Clement with St Peter.

    Throughout the year we work closely with the Church including a Harvest Service, Christmas, Easter, and the end of the school year. Rev. Gill is one of our school governors and she regularly comes into school to lead collective worship and spend time with the staff and children.

  • Item descriptionSJSC is part of the Diocese of Southwark and works closely with the Southwark Diocese Board of Education. Please click here to find out more about what they do.

  • Daily acts of collective worship (assemblies) are held for all pupils.

    Our daily Christian-based assemblies foster the pupils’ moral and spiritual development and build on their experiences in RE lessons. Collective Worship is led by the Co-Headteachers, members of the teaching staff or visiting clergy.

At SJSC the vision is that each child should:

  • Develop a love of learning

  • Achieve high standards through empowering knowledge

  • Be enabled to think critically to understand the world

  • Grow personally to develop a sense of their place and value in the world and to contribute positively
