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
For your information: We have been notified by another school in the local area about an incident in which was reported to them. They had been advised that a child had been followed home from school by an individual in a White Van. If your child walks home please speak to them about stranger danger. This incident had been reported to South Yorkshire police. Thank you.
We want to recognise a group of our Year 3 children. They recently took the initiative to form their own drama group, and thanks to Miss Hurst, who generously gave up some of her lunchtimes, they were able to bring their idea to life. Together, they wrote a script for a play called Wish, directed it themselves, assigned roles, and rehearsed during their own lunch breaks. They then had the confidence to perform it in front of the whole school — a huge achievement that took real commitment and courage. Miss Hurst and everyone at school are really proud of what they’ve accomplished. A huge thank you to Miss Hurst for giving up her time to make the children’s dream come true.
Year 3 have now completed their music lessons with Mr. Pinto from the Sheffield Cathedral School of Singing. The children have learned so much and have really enjoyed his lessons. His enthusiasm and passion for music have truly inspired them. To say thank you, they gave Mr. Pinto a card and some chocolates as a small token of their appreciation. A huge thank you to Mr. Pinto for all his hard work.
