St John’s College School C A M B R I D G E
t John’s is the only school to have been awarded national Best Prep School and national Best Prep School Head awards in the Tatler schools awards. It is the only prep school to have its teaching rated “inspirational” by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, and the first of very few to have achieved the coveted ‘Exceptional’ grade for children’s attainment. It is described by The Good Schools Guide as “a joyous place that’s buzzing”. At St John’s, we believe in a childhood filled with affection, in which children know that they are known and valued, in which they learn to trust themselves and each other, in which they find and express their voices, discover the differences they can make for themselves and others, learn to think for themselves, to question, to collaborate, to be independent, and to own and take charge of their learning and their lives. Our education is about the whole child. Our children become independent learners and creative thinkers prepared to question, with their curiosity very much alive. They get the best from themselves and achieve very highly within and beyond the classroom. We aim for our children to develop a real generosity of spirit, to know and care about how to get the best from others, and to do well when they are with us and when they are long beyond our walls. FLEXIBLE LEARNING Our youngest children are full of questions, rich with curiosity. We work to preserve and strengthen their questioning and thinking skills. From the earliest age we give them the essential tools, knowledge and understanding, but we also aim to give them more. Our Flexible Learning programme of development incorporates child-led independent learning, creative and critical thinking, digitally enhanced learning,
