11 September 2026
Together, we grow with love, joy and responsibility.
Welcome to Rownhams St John's CE Primary School
We are a caring and ambitious Church of England primary school where children are known, valued and encouraged to grow. We hope this short film gives you a flavour of our school, our community and what makes Rownhams special.
Our Christian Vision
At the heart of our Christian vision is the belief that every person is created and loved by God, uniquely valued and given gifts to grow and use well. Jesus teaches us to “love your neighbour as yourself”, and through the story of the Good Samaritan shows us what that love looks like in action: noticing others, showing compassion and choosing to act.
This is reflected in the words we share together:
Together, we grow with love, joy and responsibility, so that we are prepared to make a positive difference to our own lives, our community, and the world around us.
We believe children flourish when they grow in wisdom, character and hope, discover the gifts they have been given and learn to use them for good. Through Love, Joy and Responsibility, we encourage children to make wise choices, serve others, stand up for what is right and care for God’s world.
Our Promise
Our promise helps all of us — children and adults — to remember our vision and live it out in everyday life:
Together, we will make a difference.
Me. My Community. Our World.
Our Values
Our values of Love, Joy and Responsibility help us live out our Christian vision.
Love
We show love through kindness, compassion and service, helping others and standing up for what is right.
Joy
We find joy in learning, friendship and discovery, approaching life with hope, gratitude and perseverance.
Responsibility
We take responsibility for our choices, our learning, one another and our world, always striving to do our best.
Our Curriculum
Our curriculum brings our school vision and values to life. It helps children encounter important knowledge, rich language, inspiring stories and powerful ideas, building the understanding and confidence they need to learn, grow and flourish.
