What our Community Says
“We wanted to give our 'host' Lucy a massive thank you and well done. She showed us all around the school and interacted with our little girl which made her feel even more comfortable and she's not stopped talking about Lucy since we got home. A massive credit to the school and Lucy's parents she was so brave taking us round and was so polite. Our little girl will look forward to coming to St. John's. Thank you”
“I would recommend this school wholeheartedly. Leaders have high expectations, and my child is doing well across subjects with lots of extra‑curricular activities to enrich their experience.”
“Leaders and staff show genuine commitment to every child’s personal development. Pupils feel respected, behaviour is consistently positive, and communication with parents is clear and welcoming.”
“Our child feels safe at school every day. Behaviour is well managed and a friendly community atmosphere helps pupils feel secure and supported in their learning.”
Take a first look at our brand new school uniform and PE kit. We're excited to share these new photos showcasing our new uniform and PE kit ahead of the new school year. We can't wait to see pupils wearing our new look as it begins to be introduced from September. School uniform and PE kit are available to purchase from Slaters Schoolwear or Sportsline in Ashton. #QUESTtrust #SupportingYoungPeoplefromEarlyYearstoEmployment
What a year of incredible progress at St John's Abram. Our Year 6 SATs results tell an amazing story, with the percentage of pupils achieving the Expected Standard in Reading, Writing and Maths combined increasing by an outstanding 25 percentage points compared to last year. This success has been matched across the school, with Reception Good Level of Development increasing to 79%, excellent phonics outcomes and a remarkable improvement in our Year 4 Multiplication Tables Check results, which increased by 52 percentage points compared to 2025. We couldn't be prouder of our pupils and staff. Congratulations to everyone involved in this fantastic achievement. #QUESTtrust #SupportingYoungPeoplefromEarlyYearstoEmployment
With the warm weather set to continue, all pupils can wear their PE kit to school from Wednesday until further notice if they wish. Please ensure children come to school with a water bottle so they can stay hydrated throughout the day. Thank you for your continued support. #QUESTtrust #SupportingYoungPeoplefromEarlyYearstoEmployment
This afternoon, Year 1/2 have been thinking about how to stay safe in the sun. We discussed the 5 S's of sun safety and then cut and stuck items of clothing and accessories onto children to keep them sun safe #QUESTtrust #StJohnsAbram
We're consulting on a proposed new Play Pals nursery at St John's CE Primary School, Abram as part of the Department for Education School Based Nurseries bid. This new build and expansion of the current provision would allow for 30 babies (0–2), 30 toddlers (2–3) and 32 preschool pupils (3–4) and would aim to open September 2027. Join us to discuss plans and ask questions on Monday 22 June 2026, 3.30–5.30pm, where Kate Eastwood (Director of Early Years, QUEST) and Nicki Crank (Play Pals Area Manager) will be available.
Yesterday Reception class had a visit from our community PCSO's, they spoke to us about their role in the community and how they help to keep us safe. The children had the opportunity to explore the police car and ask lots of questions. We all had a fabulous time. #QUESTtrust #StJohnsAbram
Year 1 have been preparing for our upcoming phonics screening checks this week. We have enjoyed guided reading sessions , especially today's The Monster On the Train! #QUESTtrust #StJohnsAbram
Every year during Lent, we raise money for a chosen charity. This year, our appeal is especially close to our hearts. One of our families is facing unimaginable heartbreak as their young son, Reggie, has been diagnosed with Leukaemia and is currently undergoing treatment at Alder Hey Children's Hospital. Despite everything, Reggie is responding well to treatment, showing incredible strength and keeping a big, beautiful smile on his face. In support of the Richmond family during this extremely difficult time, we chose to raise funds for two charities that are providing them with essential support: Milly's Smiles and CHICS. Yesterday, Chem from CHICS came in to school where he was presented with a cheque for his fabulous charity. The total amount raised was £1646.95 which will be split between the 2 charities.
Key stage 1 enjoyed a trip to Kenyon Hall Farm on the last day of term as part of our science learning , plants. We got to have a walking tour of the agricultural farm, a tractor ride and plant our own seed to take home! We had a glorious time in the sunshine ! #QUESTtrust #StJohnsAbram
Before half term, Mad Science came in to school to deliver a workshop. The children had a fabulous time watching all the wonderful experiments.
