Welcome
On behalf of the children, staff and governors, I would like to introduce you to Deepcar St John’s Church of England Junior School. There is a great deal of information on our website. I hope you enjoy finding out about our school.
The school’s vision statement is ‘To create a welcoming Christian community of mutual love and care, where all are valued for who they are, where everyone is inspired to reach their full potential’. We are a church school, a status that we take seriously, and which impacts positively on an ethos which ensures that each individual is treated as special and important. The children are very proud of their school and we are very proud of our children. They love learning; care for each other and are very respectable of each other and adults. They are our best ambassadors!
While it is my priority that the education your child receives here with us will enable them to achieve their academic potential and progress confidently into the next phrase of their education, it is also part of my vision that all our children are filled with positive experiences, that they are aware of endless possibilities that await them and that they are nurtured, in order to develop within them, a confidence to embrace whatever comes their way.
If you would like to know more about our school, you are very welcome to come and visit. The children of Deepcar St John’s very much enjoy talking about and sharing their achievements and our successes.
Yours sincerely
Miss Louise Jones
Executive Headteacher
Today we say a sad but proud farewell to our Year 6 children. It only seems like yesterday that they joined us, and yet here they are—ready to take their next steps. Over the years, we’ve watched them grow in confidence, character and resilience. It’s been a privilege to see each of them flourish, and we’re so proud of everything they’ve achieved. As they move on, we share these words from Isaiah 40:31: “But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint.” Now it’s your time to fly, Year 6. Spread your wings and soar—you’re ready for all that lies ahead. We will miss you, but we know you’ll go on to do amazing things. Goodbye and good luck from everyone at St John's.
As we reach the end of the academic year, it’s hard to believe how quickly the time has flown. We’ve made so many happy memories, both in and out of the classroom—and it’s been a pleasure to watch the children grow and thrive over the past year. This week, we say a sad goodbye to some much-loved members of staff. Miss Hurst, Miss Fletcher-Adams and Mrs Stocks will be hugely missed by the whole school community. We’re incredibly grateful for everything they’ve contributed during their time with us and wish them all the very best in the next chapter of their lives. We’d also like to thank our school governors for their valuable input into the running of the school. This year we’ve welcomed new faces and said goodbye to some who have retired from the role. To each of them—thank you for your time, dedication and continued support. To all the staff at St John’s: your hard work, care and commitment is what keeps everything going. School life is very much a team effort. Thank you. A big thank you, too, to our parents and carers for your ongoing support—it’s always appreciated. Wishing everyone a restful and enjoyable summer break. See you in September.
