I would like to welcome you to St John’s Mead CE VC Primary School. We are part of the Sodbury Vale Federation working closely with Horton CE VA Primary School.

We are fortunate in having a primary school with 11 classes and a nursery class that takes children from the age of 3; all located in wonderful, spacious grounds.

The well-being of our children is an important investment and we are committed to ensuring that every child has the opportunity to flourish and reach their full potential. Every child at our school is provided with opportunities to succeed, not just to achieve academic success but also to develop socially, morally and spiritually in order to make a difference in the world. Our school motto, ‘Valuing Effort, Valuing Others and Valuing Self’ embeds our Christian vision which underpins everything we do.

At St John’s Mead we have a strong sense of community through strong links with the local church, participation in community events and a team of dedicated parents and carers within our PTA who ensure events throughout the year provide opportunities to enjoy each other’s company alongside raising additional funds for the school. 

We take safeguarding children extremely seriously and clear processes are in place to ensure that our children are safe, ranging from the physical environment to stringent recruitment procedures.

Please browse and enjoy our website to find our more about our school and what we stand for. We are very proud of St John’s Mead and welcome you to visit to see for yourself.

We hope that our website gives you the opportunity to find to further about our school and what we stand for.

If you would like to visit our school to see us in action, please do make contact with the School Office to arrange an appointment and we would be delighted to show you around.

We look forward to meeting you soon

Our School Vision

‘Valuing Effort, Valuing Others, Valuing Self.'

Our vision at St John’s Mead is that every child should grow in wisdom, knowledge and skills so that they may flourish as unique human beings created in God’s likeness, knowing that they are loved and valued with the potential to make a difference in the world.

We aim to make this vision a reality by:

Valuing Effort- I am come that you may have life and have it to the full. - John 10, 10

We recognise that God gives to each one of us gifts and talents and we aspire to learn, succeed and achieve in all areas of the curriculum offering our wisdom, knowledge and skills for the good of all.  We aspire to develop a lifelong love of learning and an open and enquiring mind.

Valuing Others - Love your neighbour as yourself - Mark 12,31

Our values at St John’s Mead School are Christian values based on Jesus’ teaching and example. We are learning to recognise those values and practise them in our school life together. We encourage and support each other and seek to serve others with compassion, forgiveness and understanding in order to create a nurturing and sustaining community where all children develop socially, morally and spiritually and with an understanding of their own and other’s culture. We are learning to be active local, national and global citizens with a sense of responsibility for our neighbours, near and far and a growing awareness of the challenges and opportunities to create a more just world and a healthy environment for all.

Valuing Self -Love one another as I have loved you - John 13, 34

We recognise that God values and loves each person as a unique individual and that Jesus taught us the measure of how we love others is how we love ourselves. St John’s Mead is a place where children are learning to know, love and value themselves so that they may become seekers after truth and goodness. They are learning to be confident of their own identity and are learning about healthy lifestyle choices.  Our culture of encouragement and involvement fosters hope and belief that they can make a difference in significant ways to serve the common good.
