Welcome to Read St John’s C.E. Primary School

I hope you enjoy exploring our website and that it gives you a real insight into life at our wonderful school. Nestled in the heart of the Ribble Valley and surrounded by beautiful open countryside, we are a welcoming village school with a caring, friendly community. We are proud to welcome children and families from across the surrounding area.

At the heart of everything we do is our Christian vision:

“Sowing the seeds of tomorrow, growing in the light of the Lord.”

This vision underpins our approach to learning, relationships and personal development. We want every child to feel valued, develop a love of learning and have the confidence to discover their strengths and fulfil their potential. We encourage our children to flourish academically, spiritually and personally, growing into confident, independent and compassionate young people who make a positive difference to the world around them.

We have high expectations for every pupil and believe that children achieve their best when they feel safe, happy, supported and inspired. Working in partnership with parents and families is central to this, and we value open communication and strong relationships between home and school.

As Headteacher, I am incredibly proud to lead a dedicated and enthusiastic team who work hard to provide engaging, creative and meaningful learning experiences. Our aim is to spark curiosity, nurture individual talents and inspire a lifelong love of learning, while ensuring that our Christian values of trust, respect, compassion, responsibility, perseverance, friendship, service and forgiveness are reflected in all aspects of school life.

We would love you to come and experience our school for yourself. A visit is a wonderful opportunity to meet our staff and children, see our school in action and experience the warmth and sense of community that make Read St John’s so special.

If you would like further information or wish to arrange a visit, please contact Mrs Long, who will be delighted to help.

We look forward to welcoming you to Read St John’s, where every child is encouraged to flourish and thrive in the light of the Lord.
