Message from our Chair of Governors

Message from the Chair of Governors, Dr Gemma Quinn.

Welcome to our school website. As Chair of Governors, it is my pleasure to welcome you to the community at St Johns (CE) Primary Academy, Clifton.

We are a single academy trust primary school with around 200 pupils, and we are proud to be a place where children are nurtured, challenged, and inspired to grow both academically and personally.  Our school Christian vision, “Shining God’s light in all that we do” and our values of love, hope and truth, are reflected everywhere at St Johns, guiding our decisions and shaping the culture of our school. 

We continue to strengthen existing relationships and are always actively seeking new opportunities to connect and collaborate within our communities. We have strong relationships with our families, St John’s Church and the local community and our focus on personal development and relationships ensure that our children feel safe and enjoy coming to school. We value the contributions of everyone who helps make our school a vibrant and inclusive place to learn and grow. 

The governing body plays a vital role in supporting the school’s leadership, ensuring that strategic decisions are made with the best interests of our pupils, staff, and wider community in mind. We work closely together to uphold high standards of education, wellbeing, and safeguarding, as well as continuous improvement.

Thank you for taking the time to visit our website. Whether you are a prospective parent, a member of our community, or simply curious about our school, I hope you find the information helpful and inspiring. If you would like to learn more or get involved, we warmly welcome your interest and support.

With best wishes,

Gemma Quinn
