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
