At St. John's Church of England Primary School, Hindley Green, our sense of belonging in school, Church and the community enables all to flourish. We believe that each child is unique. Through our nurturing approach and high expectations in learning, academic progress can be made, developing the whole child to be their very best. Our core values of love, responsibility, respect and kindness enable us to believe that: “With God, all things are possible.” Mark 10:27
We show care, kindness and compassion so every child feels safe, valued and supported.
Children learn to take ownership of their actions, choices and learning with integrity.
Being respectful means valuing others, listening carefully, and treating everyone with fairness.
Being kind means helping others, using gentle words, and making sure everyone feels included and cared for.

''I look forward to transitions and meeting the new teachers and teaching assistants that will help me at St Johns. Transition times give me the chance to get to know the new staff members so I feel comfortable to learn and thrive.''
''The learning at St. Johns is fun, we have lots of opportunities to explore through different topics and even have trips/workshops that go alongside our learning.''
''I like school because you can learn new things and make new friends. My favourite subject is maths and art.''
"My favourite thing about school is that when I am down, staff at school are always there to cheer me up with a joke or words of encouragement."
I honestly cannot recommend the Toddler Group enough. My children absolutely love it. There is always something different to do/ explore and they love the singing/ dancing at the end and helping to tidy up.

This week, Year 4 have been reflecting on their problem-solving skills, celebrating what they already do well and identifying ways to improve.

Panathlon Bowling 2026 🎳 This week we took a team of keen bowlers down to Hollywood Bowl to take part in the annual bowling competition. It was a morning of Strikes, spares and great fun! Well done children.
Year 5 and Year 6 visited one of our Quest trust schools, Hindley Green Community Primary School today to take part in a personal development event hosted by Murphy Group. The children got to take part in a range of activities designed to teach them about the different elements of the Golborne train station project. The children were most surprised by procurement and the collective effort that goes into Murphy planning and facilitating their projects. It was clear that a lot of thought and effort had also gone into the event as the children gave feedback that they thoroughly enjoyed it. They recognised links to their learning as they needed to think hard like an engineer, work as part of a team and apply their maths skills to budget for resources to construct a bridge. Special thanks to our QUEST personal development and employment partnership leads for organising and Murphy Group for providing such a fantastic opportunity for our children to learn about careers in the construction sector. #MurphyGroup #QuestSchoolsTrust #EarlyYearsToEmployment 🚛👷👷🚋 🧱🦺🚧🏗🔩🗒📝
Reception have had a fantastic week!🐿 This week, we have enjoyed our CUSP story 'The Squirrels Who Squabbled', with the story taking place in the forest. 🌲🐿 We linked our learning to Science, exploring different animals and their habitats. The children have been developing their Skills Builder skills, particularly problem-solving, as they worked out which animals belong in the correct habitats. 🦊🦉🐰 The children have loved talking about animals, where they live and why different habitats are suitable for them. They have shown some fantastic problem-solving and teamwork skills! #Reception #CUSP #TheSquirrelsWhoSquabbled #Science #Habitats #Animals #SkillsBuilder #ProblemSolving #Teamwork #LearningThroughPlay #EarlyYears #EYFS
