Welcome
On behalf of the children, staff and governors at Higham St. John's, I would like to wish you a warm welcome to our school website. Higham St. John’s is a wonderful place to be and I feel privileged to be a part of our very special community.
We aim to provide an education that develops all children to their full potential. We seek to ignite curiosity and a life-long enthusiasm for learning within a safe, happy and creative environment. Our Christian ethos and values underpin all we aim to do and we encourage our children to respect one another and be kind. We have high expectations at Higham St. John’s and support every child to try their best in all they do. The children come to school keen to learn and willing to work hard and as a result, make very good progress and achieve well across the full range of subjects.
We nurture children's individual talents through providing a diverse curriculum and by offering a wide range trips, experiences and extra-curricular activities. If you would like to arrange a visit to our school or would like further information, please visit our contacts page.
Best wishes, Mrs Shaw

Tom Palmer Author Visit: books on sale
The children enjoyed meeting children's author Tom Palmer yesterday. Tom spoke to the children about his career as an author and his love of reading and writing. School have a small selection of Tom's books which will be on sale until Thursday at £7 per book. Once we have ended the book sale, Tom will send some personalised signed book plates for us to stick into your child's choice of book.
New Running Track for 2025/26!
Our new running track on our field is now finished! We can't wait to use the track with the children when they return to school in September. A huge thank you again to everyone who helped us with our fundraising efforts over the past two years. Fantastic!
We are now on Instagram!
Follow us at highamstjohnsschool on Instagram to see regular photographs and updates detailing what is happening in school. It's easy to find us as our profile picture is our official school logo. Parents told us in a recent survey that they would like to see us on social media. We had previously used X (formerly Twitter) but have now launched our profile on Instagram instead. Weekly newsletters will now no longer regularly feature photographs as these will be posted on Instagram instead. To avoid disappointment, make sure you follow us so that you can enjoy photographs of your children enjoying school life here at Higham St John's C E Primary School. A quick link to our Instagram account can also be found on the homepage of our school website.
