About Us

Dear Families,

My name is Jake Bateson, and I am proud to be serving as Interim Headteacher at St John’s and St Peter’s C of E Primary School.

Having previously been the Deputy Head here, I already know how special this community is. St John’s and St Peter’s is more than a school - it truly feels like a family. Our Christian vision of placing God’s love in action shapes everything we do, as we work so that our children flourish, our culture is transformed, and our community thrives.

What matters most to us is that every child is seen and valued. We set high expectations for learning because we believe every child has incredible potential. At the same time, we place a strong emphasis on nurture, wellbeing and belonging. With the care of our dedicated staff team - and the support of Lucca, our therapy dog - children grow in confidence, resilience and character.

We are proud to serve the vibrant community of Ladywood. Our partnerships with families, churches and local organisations help us create opportunities and experiences that broaden horizons and build aspiration. When school and home work together, children truly flourish - and that partnership means a lot to us.

Although I am currently in an interim role, our direction is clear and hopeful. We are continuing to build on the strong foundations already here - strengthening teaching, deepening our curriculum, and ensuring every child receives the best possible education and care.
