Welcome
Welcome Message from the Headteacher
I am both delighted and honoured to be the Headteacher of a school where children are at the heart of every decision, and where each individual is valued and celebrated. On behalf of the staff, governors and pupils of John Perryn Primary School, I would like to extend a warm welcome to our website and thank you for taking an interest in our vibrant school community.
At John Perryn, we place a high emphasis on relationships. The bonds between home and school, between staff and pupils, and among the children themselves form the foundation of all that we do. We know that when these relationships are strong, children thrive — not only in their learning but also in their personal growth and wellbeing.
Our ethos, ‘The John Perryn Way’, encapsulates our values and motto: ‘Aiming High to Achieve Success in All That We Do’. These values lie at the core of our work and guide our shared commitment to ensuring that every child leaves us as a respectful, kind, responsible and caring member of society.
As a community, we share the responsibility of ensuring that every child is safe, happy and inspired to achieve their very best. We value open communication and strong partnerships with families, and we want John Perryn to remain at the heart of the local community, with everyone working together to support our children. As the proverb reminds us, ‘It takes a village to raise a child.’
We are proud of our fantastic school building, extensive grounds and superb facilities, including a wide range of engaging outdoor areas for children to enjoy. If you are considering sending your child to our school, please do contact the office to arrange a visit — we would be delighted to welcome you. Should you choose our school, I promise that we will work together to ensure your child receives exceptional care, excellent education and the opportunity to flourish as the very best version of themselves.
My vision for John Perryn is a happy, collaborative and ambitious school, where every child and adult feels welcome, valued and eager to come each day. I look forward to working with all of you to continue building a community we are proud of.
Warm regards,
Ms. Leah Wright
Headteacher
