St John's School Porthcawl

Welcome back!

Many many thanks to all pupils who showed so much enthusiasm, energy and commitment last term.  I loved our pupils magnificent energy in the Pavilion and all our carol services – well done!
At the end of last term, Year 7 performed ‘The Gruffalo’, Year 8 ‘Roald Dahl’s Cinderella and Year 9 ‘ Rupert Scrooge’.  Years 4, 5 and 6 performed some Christmas poems. It was a super morning of fun, talent and camaraderie. Well done to everyone concerned. M.A.P (music, drama, art and PE) are very excited as we now have a new ‘happy board’. We would love pupils to bring photos of any music, drama, art or sporting achievement they would like us to know about, so we can all feel ‘happy’! Read the rest of this entry →
