Values and Ethos

St John the Baptist School is a Church of England School founded in 1881, located in the Clarendon Park area of Leicester. Although we do not have a fixed catchment area, we aim to provide a primary education within a Christian context which seeks to serve all members of the school community. Currently over 600 children attend, aged between 4 and 11.

As a school we are committed to enabling all children to achieve their full potential in all areas of their lives. We believe in the unique, individual worth of every child and that all members of our learning community have the right to excellent standards in all areas of the school’s life. Teachers, parents, governors and friends work together to ensure we remain a school that is continually evaluating its provision, to ensure that we respond to the changing needs of our community. 

We seek to be at the cutting edge in the use of modern technology and teaching styles, in order that our learning environment enriches the experiences of the children in our care.

The ethos of our school is underpinned by the belief that all members of the school community have the right to work, play, develop and learn in a friendly, safe, positive and supportive environment that celebrates and respects our differences and has at its heart the belief in the individual worth of every member of the school community.

Partnership, respect and community are at the heart of our vision for a school that desires to have at its centre,  the love of God.

For 2025 2026 our School & Christian Values are:
