We are a small school in Brockley, situated in the north of Lewisham near to the green spaces of Telegraph Hill and Hilly Fields, and the beautiful Victorian cemetery at Nunhead.

 

At John Stainer, we teach everyone to value our rich and diverse community, and to respect and understand different lifestyles, cultures, abilities and backgrounds.

 

 

We understand how essential families are in every child’s learning journey and so we seek to engage with parents frequently, by providing high quality detailed information about progress, and constantly looking at how we can work together even more effectively to ensure success. We were delighted when this was recognised by OFSTED in 2008 where they said “The partnership with parents is very strong.”

 

We carefully select teaching and support staff to provide the best quality learning experiences for your child, through an exciting and creative curriculum and a passion for success for each child.

 

 

We expect everyone in our community to be well-mannered and considerate. We encourage children to be successful and independent thinkers who will make a valuable contribution to the society in which they live by being actively involved in local neighbourhood organizations, and by taking advantage of the many opportunities available to them through our extended schools core offer. We also ask children to think globally, and understand that they can effect change on issues that are impacting now, as well as in the future.

Together we can give your child an enjoyable and memorable start to their life long journey of learning.

Together we can create exemplary citizens for the future.

 

I very much look forward to meeting you, and beginning that journey.

 

Welcome to our school.
