Mrs Katie Hartley Head of School
Welcome to our school website. We hope you find the pages on this site informative giving you an insight into our school community.
St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School is a Voluntary Academy, within the Bishop Konstant Catholic Academy Trust in the Diocese of Leeds.
St John’s is a special learning community full of enthusiastic children, and a very committed and dedicated staff team with Christ at the centre of all we do.
Our vision is to educate children in the spirit of the Gospel Values and the traditions of the Catholic Church, nurturing the talents and potential of each wonderful, unique individual. Our children are encouraged to develop an awareness and respect of others as well as themselves, and are a real credit to the school community.
We have high expectations in terms of teaching and children’s learning, behaviour and standards of achievement and, as a result, our pupils are keen to learn and they feel proud of their success in all areas of the curriculum, which we celebrate with great pride and admiration.
We warmly invite you to visit the school, if you haven’t already had the opportunity, and would be most happy to show you around our welcoming and vibrant school.
Katie Hartley
Headteacher
