Welcome to our school community. During the next two years, we are establishing ourselves as a brand new school community, St John’s Academy, which will provide Catholic education for pupils from nursery through to primary and secondary on the one site.
Until March 2010, St John’s Academy (secondary) will continue operate on the site of the former St Columba's High School. Between Friday 26th March and Tuesday 30th March, the school will be closed to pupils whilst the physical move takes place. On Wednesday 31st March groups of prefects will be given an introduction to their new school prior to our 'first day for pupils' on Thursday 1st April.
Primary and nursery classes will remain at their current primary building in Stormont Street until their new accommodation is completed towards the end of 2011.
In October 2009 Mrs Audrey May was appointed as headteacher of the new St John's Academy, responsible for all stages of the school, as well a having the coordinating role for the whole of the North Inch community campus.
Our school is supported by Perth and Kinross Council, led by our Executive Director of Education and Children’s Services, John Fyffe. The council provides a range of services to support our pupils’ learning and to improve their achievements.
Parents and carers are members of our school community too. The partnership between pupils, staff, parents and chaplains is at the heart of our school community. As a Catholic school, we aim to provide a Christian atmosphere of love and care in which pupils feel secure and able to seek help and advice. With everyone working positively to help each other, we encourage our pupils to achieve to the best of their ability.
