St Johns Primary School

St John’s Primary School is a two-form entry primary school with a nursery. We are the borough provision for children with speech and language difficulties. There are two speech and language ARPS (Additionally Resourced Provisions). The school has recently moved in to a CONRAN-designed new build, with the capacity for three-form entry, as part of the regeneration of the West Ealing area. We are committed to an inclusive education through which all children achieve.

St John’s is a good school with welcoming children, supportive parents and hard working staff and governors. We all work together to provide the best possible learning opportunities for all the children. We have high expectations of learning and behaviour and seek to develop happy confident children.

St John’s Primary School began life in the early 1860s as ‘Ealing Dean National School’ and accommodated 40 boys and girls. By 1906, on a new site in Felix Road, this number had risen to 333 boys, 333 girls, and 273 infants as ‘St John’s School’ on a three-quarters-of-an-acre site on Felix Road.

One of the most inspiring figures in the school’s early history was the visionary educator Ernest Golledge, headmaster between 1908 and 1934. Golledge encouraged the pupils, many of whom were from underprivileged backgrounds, to work hard and aim high, telling them, “Be something, be anything, but mean.” To provide a high-quality enjoyable education, which enables all pupils to achieve. “Learning Without Limits and Achieving Together”.

The governors and staff of St John’s are committed to:
