At St John's Meads, we want every child to flourish - growing in character, confidence and faith. Rooted in our Christian foundation, we are inspired by John 1:5: ‘The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.’
Our values — Love, Independence, Generosity, Honesty, and Teamwork — come together as L.I.G.H.T., guiding every child to shine brightly. Through a rich and engaging curriculum and a nurturing environment, we aim to help children discover their unique gifts, become a light in the world achieving their God given potential.
It is our hope that children at St John’s Meads will develop their understanding and experience of Jesus as their ‘light in darkness’ and to consider how they can be a light to the world, making a positive contribution to society both now and in the future.



As a result of the vision for all to flourish, there is a strong sense of nurture across the school. This culture of care and community is enabling adults and pupils, including the most vulnerable, to be effectively supported.
A caring, safe and nurturing environment where the children’s needs are kept at the heart of their community whilst upholding Christian Values, they do a wonderful job!
This school is wonderful and our lives are all the richer for being a part of its community.
