St John's School Porthcawl

During the holidays the school office is manned on a regular basis. If any parents or prospective parents wish to contact us please email: office@stjohnsschool-porthcawl.com .

Yesterday we proudly hosted the sponsored toddle for Barnardo’s. Local nurseries joined us for a walk around our grounds and thankfully the sun was shining! The children were treated to milkshakes, cakes and fruit at the finish line and each child received a goody bag to take home.

We would like to thank Ty Tanglwyst Dairy for sponsoring the goody bags for each child. The money raised will be given to Barnardo’s who support local projects which help disadvantaged under 5s to learn and play.

A fun time was had by all!

Year 6 had a good time on the History trip to Swansea Museum.  We learnt a lot about World War 2 and how devastating the bombs were.  It was really interesting to find out how evacuees felt, what they took with them and how they changed whilst they were away from their parents.  We had fun on our tour around the Museum and Scott and James especially liked the xray and film about the Egyptian Mummy.
