the king john school
Essex,
I was fortunate enough to be appointed Headteacher here at the school in January
2021. Our vision at King John is focused around ‘A Quality Education for All’.
To enable our students to be happy and successful learners, we strive to create
a caring, supportive and aspirational learning community, with high expectations
and opportunities for all. We believe in offering a broad and balanced
curriculum to enable students to flourish as individuals, and to achieve future
success in whatever they choose to become later in life. This includes a strong
emphasis on sport and the arts. We strive to nurture and develop our global
citizens of the future by celebrating success and valuing aspiration. We are
determined to ensure that every student succeeds and maximises their potential.
The recruitment, retention and training of fully-qualified staff play a key part
in our drive to secure strong academic outcomes for all students, and to instil
a life-long love of learning. We understand the vitally important role of
partnerships between families and school, and value our relationships with all
members of the community we serve. We have a thriving sixth form, which has been
significantly extended to provide a wealth of additional, state-of-the-art
facilities. Students’ destinations are very strong, and they progress to higher
education, including Oxbridge and other Russell Group universities,
apprenticeships and employment. We hope this website provides you with an
insight into our values, expectations and ambitions for all our learners,
including our key priorities as a school for the future. However, if you would
like to find out more about our school, please do not hesitate to contact us.
