As the first Church of England school in Watford, St John’s Church of England Primary School opened its doors to 30 reception children in September 2016. Now based in a purpose-built building in Central Watford, our school community is diverse, inclusive and supportive. 

At St John’s Church of England Primary School, we believe that happy teachers equal happy, engaged children. Are you a teacher who is ready for a new buzz in your career and is one who challenges, inspires and fully embraces the importance of the development of the whole child?
