At St John the Baptist RC Primary School, our Catholic life and mission are rooted in a clear and coherent vision of education, guided by the truth revealed by God about who we are, how we live in community, and our eternal destiny with Him. Our educational journey is centred on the person of Jesus Christ—our Way, our Truth, and our Life.

Our Mission Statement captures the essence of our vision:

This statement shapes everything we do. Catholic education at St John the Baptist is distinctive in that it places all teaching and learning within a Catholic moral framework. We challenge and support our children to grow in mind, body and spirit, helping them to recognise their God-given dignity and unique mission in life.

We serve a richly diverse community and are committed to educating the whole child. We work closely with families and our parish to foster a loving, faith-filled environment where every individual is valued. Our way of working reflects Gospel values and the teachings of the Catholic Church, helping children to grow not only in knowledge, but also in faith, compassion and purpose.

The mission of our school is strengthened through the active partnership of home, school and parish. Together, we nurture our faith community, forming children with a mature Christian conscience who are able to navigate the challenges of an increasingly secular world with wisdom, courage and hope.
