Extra Curricular Activities

St. John's CE Primary School achieved the School Games GOLD Award this year.

The School Games Mark

We are delighted to announce that St. John's School has achieved the GOLD School Games Mark. This is a government lead awards scheme launched in 2012 to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school. We achieved the bronze award last year but have been able to GO FOR GOLD this year thanks to all the hard work and determination to raise the sporting profile and opportunities for our children at St. John's. We are continually evaluating our PE provision to develop action plans for sustained and future progress.

A special visit from England Youth Football Team

As part of our World Cup theme week, we were delighted to welcome Caitlin Hawkins to our school. Caitlin is the Player Education Manager for England’s youth football team. She also brought a very special visitor: Jake Garret. Jake is a former pupil of St. John’s CE School who plays for the U15s national team. The children were delighted to meet Caitlin and Jake and ask them lots of questions. Caitlin has kindly donated an England football shirt to the School.

The Good Ship Flotsam Project

This summer, Class 5 were asked to create a piece of art using nothing but recycled materials. The project -The Good Ship Flotsam- is a ship that has been designed by local artist Lynne Winstanley to recognise the global environmental issues caused by marine pollution. St John's pupils worked strenuously, collecting as many bottle tops as they possible could, to create a mosaic of the Sefton cross. Take a look at our pictures below, or why not visit the ship itself at Crosby Marina, to see the wonderful piece of art created by our talented children.

The Choir singing Painting Roses Red at The Alice Experience, St George's Hall

Another fabulous performance by our wonderful choir. No chance to practise on-set, just straight in there with a live audience. Well done! We were very proud.
