“I absolutely loved St Johns. It really was the best school I could have wished to go to. The teachers were fantastic as well as the atmosphere. I am still in contact with all my old friends. It is a school where you make friends for life! When I get married next year, two of my bridesmaids are girls that were in my class in school" (Past pupil)
