St John's is a Church of England School, and you will find the symbol of the cross at school.
This means that you can expect us to base a lot of what we do on the teachings of Jesus Christ. Assemblies have broadly Christian themes and we also have a weekly Theme to focus on.
St John's has connections with local churches and especially St John's Church (http://www.eppinganglicans.org.uk/). The School's Chaplaincy Team includes staff who are Christians, members of local churches and a Schools Worker from Epping Forest Youth for Christ. There is a group of people who undertake to pray for the School, staff, students and families, each week.
The Governing Body of St John's includes a number of Christians from local churches.
There are opportunities to join in Chistian clubs and venets in the school.

School Prayer
Thank you God for giving me so much – my home, my family, my friends, the interesting and beautiful world in which I live, books to read and music to listen to, a school where I can learn.
Above all, thank you for loving me.
Forgive me when I ask for too much – when I forget to thank you for what I have. Forgive me when I am selfish or too demanding.
Help me to be a better, more loving person who wants to give rather than get.
Amen |
