ABOUT THE SCHOOL

This is a very special place to work and to learn.

Boys, with many receiving scholarships.
Our beautiful school buildings were designed in 1888 by John Francis Bailey who rose to fame as the architect of Westminster Cathedral in London. The School enjoys first class facilities including a purpose-built sports centre, indoor and outdoor cricket nets, floodlit tennis courts, a golf putting green and driving range, an indoor swimming pool and over 50 acres of playing fields. St John’s enjoys a strong reputation for sport, with a strong rugby and swimming tradition, as well as cricket, football, golf, and rowing; as well as music and the performing arts.
