Charity and Community

Each year, St John’s selects a charity of the year to support through fundraising and awareness initiatives. Over the years, we’ve raised significant funds for both international and UK-based causes, including:

• Great Ormond Street Hospital – £24,000
• NSPCC – £17,000
• Whizz-Kidz – £15,900
• National Deaf Children’s Society – £18,300
• Barnardo’s – £13,000
• PHAB – £11,000
• Magic Breakfast – £11,000
• International charities such as WaterAid, World Vision, Red Cross, and Build a School

We are proud of our role in the wider community and regularly connect with local organisations:

• Armistice Day: Every year, we support the Royal British Legion, with senior boys laying a wreath at the Northwood Cenotaph.
• Sunshine House RNIB School: St John’s enjoys a long-standing partnership with this Northwood school for blind and partially sighted children with additional learning needs.
• Erskine Hall Care Home: Each Autumn, our Senior Choir, Brass Group and Wind Ensemble visit the home to perform for the residents and share tea and conversation. It’s a cherished tradition that marks the beginning of the festive season.
• Northwood Hill Residents’ Association: We value our connection to the local community. Last year, pupils worked with the Residents’ Association to plant pots for a vibrant public display at Northwood Hills Tube Station.
