About Us
John Wood School & Nursery is part of the Chancery Education Trust and is located within the heart of Croydon within beautiful green secluded grounds.
We have spacious modern buildings with disabled access and good transport links. We have an on site breakfast club from 7.30am and after school care until 6.00pm. We serve a multi-cultural community and are proud to have a committed and talented team of staff and governors.
We are proud of our school and the strength of the community that enables us to foster and nurture all the talents of our pupils.
At John Wood School & Nursery staff, governors, parents and the pupils work closely together to create a learning environment that stimulates young minds, encourages their development and success, and promotes a sense of responsibility for themselves and others. We warmly welcome you to join us in that partnership.
Your child’s entitlement to the National Curriculum is only part of what we aim to achieve at John Wood School & Nursery. We believe in fostering children’s curiosity to create a life-long love of learning. We also aim to promote creativity and provide a wealth of opportunities for expressive young minds. We place emphasis on the importance of social and personal growth and strive to ensure that our children are happy, healthy and responsible members of our community.
We are fortunate in having dedicated staff who give their time generously to ensure that your child’s years with us are enjoyable, stimulating and successful. We pride ourselves on our reputation for meeting all children’s needs. All are welcome at John Wood School & Nursery. We believe that our school has some excellent resources and facilities. In this website we hope to give you information about our school, its core values, aims, organisation, curriculum and activities.
No website, however, can convey the ethos or feel of a school. We therefore warmly welcome you to visit us and experience John Wood School & Nursery for yourselves. If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We believe every child deserves the best from their school.
