A warm welcome to St John’s C of E Primary School, which officially joined Archway on the 1st July 26.
We are delighted to welcome the staff, pupils, families and wider community of St John’s C of E Primary School, Stapleford to the Archway family. This is an exciting moment for both the school and the Trust, bringing together two organisations with deep roots in greater Nottingham and a shared belief in the power of education to transform lives.
St John’s is a remarkable school. Established in 1837, it has educated generations of children from the same historic site for almost 200 years and has developed a strong reputation for its family centred culture, nurturing environment and commitment to every child’s success.
St John’s joins Archway from a position of strength, following a successful Ofsted and SIAMs inspections and with a clear vision for its future. The school’s Christian ethos, commitment to community, and focus on helping every child thrive align closely with our Trust values.
As a Trust, we often talk about the strength that comes from being a family of schools. That strength is not measured by size alone. It comes from the diverse experiences, expertise, ideas and perspectives that each school brings. Every new school enriches our collective knowledge and strengthens our ability to support one another.
St John’s brings its own history, character and strengths to our growing primary phase, creating new opportunities for colleagues across the Trust to learn from one another. Our primary schools play a vital role in shaping children’s early experiences, aspirations and foundations for future learning. As our family of schools grows, so too does the richness of the ideas, expertise and relationships that help us improve what we offer to children and young people.
Most importantly, St John’s shares something that sits at the heart of Archway: a belief that every child deserves the opportunity to flourish academically, personally and socially. That shared purpose gives us a strong foundation for the future.
Please join us in giving a very warm Archway welcome to everyone at St John’s C of E Primary School. We are proud that they have chosen to join our Trust and excited about what we can achieve together.
