Today we celebrate St John Baptist Feast Day! As the forerunner of Christ, John dedicated his life to preparing our hearts for the Saviour. Through his call to repentance and his humble spirit, he reminds us to seek the light and truth in our own lives pic.twitter.com/0TIagEZ9e8— StJohnsAberdare () June 24, 2025

School Mission and Ethos

St John's was founded in 1975 to serve the Christian and non-Christian children within Rhondda Cynon Taf and the surrounding counties. The Christian ethos plays a large part of the school's life and has well-established links with local clergy within the Ministry Area from which children are admitted to the school, as well as from the wider areas within the Diocese.

Our vision is to prepare each pupil to develop the skills and attributes to become the person they have been "called to be". As an unashamedly Christian school, our mission, values and purpose shape our behaviours.

Mission and Purpose Statement
At St John’s, our mission is to provide our pupils with opportunities to enable them to flourish academically, socially, morally and spiritually.

We celebrate the uniqueness of each individual, created in God’s image and likeness. We seek to provide a nurturing environment for all, where everyone is respected and treated with dignity.

Our core purpose as a Christian community is to help prepare the way for our pupils so they may know themselves fully and contribute positively to our ever-changing world. We seek to enrich pupils’ lives through our gospel values of faith, hope and love.

The School Prayer
Look down,
O loving saviour,
upon us Thy children,
and make this School a blessing to us all.

Give us attentive ears to hear,
willing hearts to learn,
and ready wills to obey.
Teach us how to pray
and lead us to Thyself,
so that we may know thee as our Saviour
and worship Thee as our King.
Amen

"The school seeks to enrich pupils' lives through faith and a high quality education in a caring Christian environment" (Estyn)
