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
Deepcar St John’s – Facebook Page Update
Our school Facebook page is open to the public, which means anyone on Facebook can view it. We use the page as an additional way to keep parents/carers informed about dates and events, celebrate successes in school, and give prospective families a glimpse of life at Deepcar St John’s.
In the past, we have received some complaints from parents when photographs from events did not include a photo of their child. To address this, we tried to ensure that, at certain events, a photograph of each child was included.
As the world changes and with the introduction of AI, there are increasing safeguarding considerations that we now need to take into account.
Due to this, moving forward, we will only be sharing a small selection of photographs. We will not be able to guarantee a photo of every child will be uploaded.
We always seek parental consent before using images on our media platforms and we do not include children’s names. This is to help protect their identity and ensure their safety online, as our page is public and can be viewed by anyone.
However, we have noticed that some parents/carers comment on posts and include children’s names. We kindly ask that you continue to share positive comments, but please do not include any child’s name in your comments. Any future comments, which include children's names will have to be removed by the school.
Thank you for your understanding and support.
Help Make Amelia’s 8th Birthday Dream Come True
You may have seen Amelia’s story shared on local news and social media.
Mrs Thompson’s Y3/4 class have joined the campaign and have already sent birthday cards to help support her special wish.
Amelia is bravely living with stage 4 neuroblastoma and is currently receiving palliative care. For her 8th birthday on 3rd March, she has a beautiful goal — to receive 8,000 birthday cards and break a UK record.
If you would like to get involved as a family and help make her birthday extra special, please take a look at the poster for details on how to send a card.
Thank you.
