At the age of seven, boys move confidently into the main school, joining the Junior Department of St John’s Prep. With their first blazers, house ties and new house affiliations, this transition marks an exciting new chapter, one full of opportunity, challenge and discovery.
New pupils joining in Year 3 integrate seamlessly with their peers in their bright, engaging classrooms, where a strong sense of belonging is founded.
An Education That Grows With Your Son
11+ Preparation and Support
From Year 4 onwards, pupils begin formal preparation for 11+ examinations.
At St John’s, preparing our boys for a wide range of secondary school destinations is an integral part of what we do.
While the prospect of moving on to senior school can feel daunting for some pupils and their families, this is a journey we know well, and one we approach with care, structure, and confidence.
Experienced staff build a deep understanding of each pupil forming an educational journey around ability, interest and potential.
The personalised approach is essential to supporting each pupil to grow academically and emotionally, as well as identify opportunities.
Through individual academic support, interview preparation, extra curricular opportunities and close communication with families, we ensure each boy is well-equipped for the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.
Whether progressing to an independent, grammar, or state school, we are confident that every boy will be ready for the transition and ready to thrive in his next setting.
