I am a newly appointed Governor at St Johns and I have been given the lead on Fundraising. Having worked as a Fundraiser for a charity before I know how difficult this can be, but I look forward to meeting the challenge.
My younger daughter came to the school when she was in year 10, having had an unhappy time at a local comprehensive. She was struggling academically and emotionally. The two years that she spent at St John’s changed her life, she passed her GCSEs, went onto college and passed her A Levels and has just finished her first year at the University of Gloucestershire. I can honestly say that St John’s saved her.
What is important thing about St John’s is a sense of belonging, it feels like a family. St John’s has fantastic teachers but it is also the pastoral care which is provided that I think is very important.
