Coronavirus Update
The government announcement last night indicated that nothing significant has changed the school is remaining closed for most of our students although arrangements are still being made for individual students to access provision at school. We need to remain “Alert”, as we are still at a delicate stage of this pandemic. We are continuing to support students and their families in their own homes for social distancing guidelines set out by the government to continue to be maintained. Contact can be made via office@stjohnsrcschool.co.uk. You can keep up to date with the Schools Status here

Welcome to St John’s RC School
St John’s RC School is a non-maintained special school offering day provision for pupils aged 5 to 19 with a wide range of needs including moderate to severe learning difficulties, autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and those with associated speech, language and communication difficulties.
Since September 2015, we have been in partnership with New City College and provide a 19-25 provision for those students who are not quite ready for mainstream college. We aim to bridge this gap by meeting their individual needs.
Based in Woodford Green, Essex we have students from across the county as well as the London Boroughs. Although we are a Roman Catholic school we welcome pupils from all faiths and backgrounds.
School Status
The school will remain closed to most pupils in response to the coronavirus emergency and government guidance.
St John's 6th Form Centre
We are very proud of our school and our team of highly skilled and dedicated staff, including music, speech and language therapists, learning mentors and learning support assistants who work together to ensure that our pupils achieve and grow in confidence and self-esteem within a community of care and learning; developing their independent living skills to their full potential. We offer a curriculum that is varied and challenging and as students progress through the school many achieve accreditation through AQA awards, OCR, Asdan and BTEC where this is appropriate.
Our pupils tell us that St John’s is a happy school and I hope that our website gives you some insight into life here at St John’s. You are very welcome to speak to or visit us in person to find out more.
