Holy Trinity and St John’s Primary School is a welcoming, popular and inclusive two form entry school with approximately 400 children on our school roll. We are situated in the centre of Margate which is in the South East of Kent. The school has close links with our church, St John's, and our children visit the church throughout the year for services and learning opportunities. Rooted in Christian values and a commitment to excellence, our school is a place where children can grow academically, socially and spiritually.
Our Vision
Our vision Hope, Believe and Achieve is lived through our daily practice at Holy Trinity and St John’s. We provide a safe, stimulating, and inclusive environment where children flourish through high-quality teaching, strong relationships, and a rich curriculum. We aim to develop confident, compassionate learners who are ready to make a positive impact in the world.
Our Vision and Values are reflected in the distinctive Christian ethos of our school. This is seen explicitly in our daily collective worship and reflection. Collective Worship is at the centre of our school community and helps us at the start of each day. We have strong links with Christian organisations in the local community and their representatives are frequent leaders of our daily worship. Our pupil's spiritual, social and moral development is grounded in Christian teaching where we learn to respect, forgive and care for each other and our world.
