Head Teacher, Mrs Liz McAvan of St John’s Primary School. Mrs McAvan has demonstrated an unqualified commitment to achieving the highest standards in all aspects of the school’s activities and is without doubt someone for her staff to respect and look up to.

Pupils at St John's, Keele Church of England Primary School are drawn not only from the village and Keele University campus but also from the wider surrounding area. The church and school enjoy an excellent relationship with the vicar regularly conducting assembly in the school and pupils playing a very active role in the monthly Family Services. We are particularly grateful for the encouragement Mrs McAvan has given to links with St John’s church.

Whilst the school is essentially Church of England, this does not mean that other creeds and religions are barred and it has a very interesting mix of children from a wide variety of cultures enabling all to have a good understanding of each other.

A number of the children prepare for and take key roles in the monthly Family Service in St. John's Church, usually each fourth Sunday of the month, though this can vary according to important Holy days and of course the school holidays.
