A warm welcome to St John the Evangelist Catholic Primary School. 

It is my greatest privilege to be headteacher of this unique school- the oldest Catholic Primary School in Billingham! 

At St John's, we pride ourselves on being a warm, welcoming, inclusive community with the teachings of Christ at the heart, and our children's wellbeing and success, at the centre of everything we do. 

I am proud to lead a staff of highly skilled people who work hard to ensure that all children are challenged, inspired, moved and motivated to be the best that they can be. 

We have a wraparound care offer that runs from 7.30am-8.30am and 3.10pm-5.30pm and offer a range of clubs that include; choir, football, multi sports, pottery and arts and crafts club. 

We nurture each child's uniqueness; understanding that everyone has gifts to share and lessons to teach us while instilling values that reflect the teachings of Christ. Our aim is to create a school where children feel safe, happy, and challenged. We encourage curiosity, resilience, and kindness, guiding our pupils to become confident, compassionate, and engaged members of society.

We believe that our children deserve the very best and the most effective way to deliver this is to work in strong partnership with parents and our wider community. We welcome visits to school and actively seek to work with others to give our children every opportunity possible. Together, we can ensure that our children leave St. John's kind, hardworking, ambitious and ready for the next step in their education journey. 

 We hope you find our website helpful and informative. If you would like a tour of our school, please contact the main office. I am always happy to share the work of our fantastic school.
