Reception have been exploring the marvellous world of measurement! From books and building blocks to water bottles and teddy bears, they’ve been busy weighing, pouring, and comparing. Little mathematicians in the making, having plenty of fun along the way.
Science in action across every year group!
Year 5 explored materials in the lab, testing them for stretchiness.
Year 6 learnt how to use the Bunsen burner safely.
Year 8 took science outdoors, testing the formula speed = distance ÷ time by running and throwing a ball.
This week in Art, Year 3 had fun experimenting with glow-in-the-dark paints under UV light! Year 5 explored the work of Gustav Klimt and got creative with spray foam to make seaweed sculptures and Year 6 have been working with clay to craft their own unique sculptures!

Year 1 and 2 boys had a wonderful time learning the basics of badminton with Coach Darbar from Gala Academy. Using colorful balloons to keep the game fun and friendly, our youngest pupils built coordination and confidence while sharing lots of laughter. This engaging session is part of our co-curricular programme, giving children the chance to explore new skills in a playful and supportive environment.

Our Year 1 STEM club had a fantastic time this week, becoming structural engineers for a super outdoor session. Working in pairs, the boys designed and built shelters for small characters, exploring how different materials and shapes create strong, stable structures. They used a variety of natural resources from sticks and leaves found in Nature’s Classroom to wood chips, charred logs and pits in the ground.
The boys were very proud to showcase their creative shelters!

Year 8 made memories at Night Under Canvas last week, enjoying an outdoor adventure camp on the School grounds!
A huge thank you to our dedicated staff for making it possible. St John`s is proud to offer these unique experiences where friendships grow and memories last a lifetime.
Our 1st XI footballers kicked off their 2025 season with an impressive performance against MTP! Led by Captain Micah and Vice-Captain Dev, the team showed energy, skill, and determination from start to finish.
A strong start to what promises to be an exciting season. We can’t wait to see how far this squad will grow together!
