At St John’s Highbury Vale we believe that the curriculum should be as broad and balanced as possible, offering children the opportunity to achieve success in many different areas. Although our curriculum adheres to the statutory elements of the National Curriculum 2014, there are other planned opportunities that make up the wider curriculum at our school.

At St John's Highbury Vale, in the Early Years Foundation Stage, we provide a stimulating, safe, happy, learning environment, both indoors and outdoors, where children quickly become confident and eager learners.

We believe that effective assessment is a continuous process that provides quality information to improve teaching and learning and raise achievement for all pupils.

The school day starts at 8:55am and ends at 3:30pm for all pupils, Early years finish at 3:25pm.

We value the individuality of all of our children. We are committed to giving all of our children every opportunity to achieve the highest of standards. We do this by taking account of pupils’ varied life experiences and needs.
