"A small school with a big heart!"

"A happy place in which everyone feels valued."

These quotes are directly from our support staff team and these are the top reasons that they love working at St John's Meads:

1. The staff are well connected to each other and to the children.
2. Difference is welcomed and celebrated.
3. Every face is a famiilar face.
4. I always feel at home here.
