Exceptional Boys, Exceptional Place
An Independent Day School for Boys Aged 3-11

Welcome to St John’s

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 al lifetime of success.

Individual Pathway

At St John’s, every boy is known. Learning is shaped around individual ability, interest, and potential laying a foundation for academic success and personal growth.

Traditional Values

Traditional values of respect, kindness, and integrity with a tailored approach to teaching. Through exceptional pastoral care and academic challenge, pupils are encouraged to be curious, resilient, and confident.

A Connected Community

Strong partnerships with families create a warm, inclusive and engaged school community. Pupils feel safe to take considered risks, try new things and develop a genuine love of learning.

Preparing for the Next Step

At 11+, a wide range of senior school choices including independent, grammar, and state are supported. Many pupils gain scholarships in academics, music, art, drama, and design technology.

Traditional values of respect and kindness are blended with an innovative approach to teaching and learning; our ethos is both rounded as well as academically rigorous

Over the past year, we’ve been on a journey at St John’s reflecting on what matters most and refining the values that shape our community. 

That journey has led us to our new Language of Learning, a framework that will guide our teaching and learning to support every boy grow into a well-rounded, happy, compassionate and successful young man. 

Each half term, we’ll shine a spotlight on one of our core values, beginning with Integrity.
We’re excited to be hosting our Secondary School Transfer Event on Wednesday 17th September at St John’s School with a fantastic line-up of schools, including:
Aldenham School, Berkhamsted, St Albans School, John Lyon, Haberdashers’ Boys School, Belmont Junior (Mill Hill), Merchant Taylors’ School, St Margaret’s School, Wetherby Senior School.

It’s a great chance for our families to explore the next steps in their son’s education journey. We look forward to seeing you there!
