Can you help us to create a small St John’s School Community Garden?

We would love to make the space outside of the entrance to our school look brighter, warmer and more welcoming. It would be wonderful to make use of two small flower beds to plant a tree, flowers or plants.

Volunteers are welcome to support this community project and work together to create a beautiful space.

Please contact the school office by email: office@watfordstjohns.org or by telephone: 01923255017 for more information.

They had a fantastic time camping, climbing, learning about the great outdoors and spending time around a camp fire.

Thank you to our Headteacher, Miss Pyatt, our Year 6 Class Teacher, Mr Handley and our Key Stage One Lead, Miss Repova who accompanied the children.
