"Love your neighbour as yourself."
St John & St James’ is a Church of England Primary School with a strong Christian ethos. It has an active partnership with the local parish church, St John at Hackney. The school includes daily prayers in assemblies, Christian teaching built into the curriculum, and a commitment to teaching about other faiths to foster sensitivity and understanding.
The SEND Lead (Mr J Watson) liaises with multi‑agency partners and families as needed. All teachers are considered SEND teachers and high‑quality CPD is provided to upskill staff. External support from specialist teacher (EP), WAMHS and SLT/SLT‑clinician (SaLT) provides individualised resources to support learning. The SEND team works collaboratively to tailor provision and challenge for all pupils, with the SEND Padlet offering additional materials and links (Hackney Local Offer) for families.
