Admissions
St John's has a published admission number (PAN), which permits the school to admit up to 160 pupils into each year group. Parents who apply for a place do so knowing that the school aims to provide an education based on Christian principles and therefore governors expect all students to take part in Christian worship at the school, attend all religious education lessons and to participate in all other educational activities.
Where there are more than 160 applications then governors will use oversubscription criteria, which is set out in its policy. A copy of which can be found in the download section.
