  OFSTED Report

   

  Dear Parents and Carers

   

  I write to congratulate everybody on the report which has now been published, following the inspection in November.

   

  I view the school as one big family, and know that together the Senior Leadership Team, Staff, Parents, Children and my Fellow Governors all contributed to St. Johns being a Good school with certainly some outstanding elements.

   

  I look forward to building on the achievement of this report together.

   

  Best Wishes on behalf of the Governing Board.

  Class 2 Visit to Trowbridge Museum - Friday 20th January 2023 

   

  This morning, the children in Class 2 visited Trowbridge Museum. We had a wonderful time taking part in three workshops led by staff and volunteers at the museum. The children had an opportunity to explore the museum and complete a trail. They got to see amazing views of Trowbridge town through binoculars, which gave them an opportunity to explore buildings that are old and new in Trowbridge. Finally, they looked closely at clothing from the past and even had an opportunity to try things on! The children really enjoyed their time at the museum.
