St John's College Parent Reviews



Average Parent Rating


“Highest Integrity”


Amazing school, very supportive and cares for all it's pupils. St John's has exceptional standards in every aspect.
“2020 A level”


Used to be a good school. Let down sixth form in 2020. Gave 1/3 of pupils grades below UCAS offers - in a year when school grades became final A level results. Not what parents pay for.
