At St John’s we believe in nurturing the potential of every boy, helping them to grow in confidence, develop a love of learning and become compassionate leaders of tomorrow. With a focus on academic excellence, personal development and a strong sense of community, we provide the foundation for a lifetime of success.
Our wonderful Pre-Prep children brought the magic of Christmas to life with four delightful shows, enjoyed by parents and grandparents alike.
Nursery presented Christmas Counts
Reception wowed us with Children of the World
Year 1 delighted us with Honky Tonky Donkey
Year 2 entertained with Ready Steady Elves
The children were thrilled to see their families, sang with enthusiasm, and amazed everyone with all the lines they had learnt. Each performance was full of the joy and wonder of Christmas, reflecting the hard work and dedication of all the boys and their teachers.

It’s Christmas time in the Art Room!
Festive tunes have been filling the space all week. Year 4 have been creating beautiful symmetry snowflakes, while Year 6 have been busy crafting giant 3D snowflakes and using oil pastels to design colourful, candy-cane masterpieces.

Year 4 had a fun and creative Narnia Day! The boys produced amazing artwork of the great lion Aslan and designed special Christmas cards featuring the iconic wardrobe scene.
The day ended in true Narnian style with a cosy screening of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, complete with hot chocolate and Turkish delight.

As part of their Outdoor Learning Programme, Year 6 were challenged to roll a ball as far as possible along lengths of guttering.
The boys threw themselves into the task, working brilliantly as a team!
Astronomy Evening was a stellar success, even with cloudy skies!
We enjoyed fascinating talks from our boys: Shayan, Rian and Shrihaan in Year 5 who gave an informative presentation on the solar system, while Aaran and Riyan in Year 6, blew us away with their insights on black holes.
A fantastic turnout was complemented by delicious hot chocolate and cakes. Can’t wait to continue the stargazing at Ruislip Lido, where clearer skies are promised!
Guests were dazzled at Arts Evening by the impressive showcase of creativity from our Art Department, with the theme “Under the Sea”.
Glow-in-the-dark coral, luminous lighthouses, bottle boats and vibrant papier-mâché fish brought the theme to life, giving a glimpse of the incredible work produced this term.
The festive season officially kicked off last Saturday as our choirs joined children from Hillside Infant & Junior School and Harlyn School for the Northwood Hills Big Christmas Switch-On. All the children sang beautifully, spreading festive cheer!
The Mayor of Hillingdon thanked everyone for attending and led the countdown to the Big Switch-On, lighting up the gorgeous Christmas tree as well as all the lights along Joel Street.

As the evenings get darker, our Nursery boys have been exploring day and night.
They’ve been pressing star cutters into night sky playdough, creating day and night pictures with tissue paper, printing moons with tin foil, and adding a touch of sparkle with glitter on their suncatcher stars.
Such a fun and creative way to learn about the moon, stars, and the changing sky!
