Welcome from the Head

Thank you for taking a look at our website. I hope it gives you a good insight into the work that we do here  at St. Paul’s. We want our children to be happy here as we believe happy children learn. Our staff work extremely hard to ensure our pupils get a high-quality education. Our results highlight the good work that is carried out.

We want our children to grow up learning how to be good citizens and contribute to society knowing that they have a big role to play. Furthermore, we want our children to learn about being healthy – we are one of a small number of schools in the borough that provide lessons on cookery and nutrition. We even have our own chicken coop and bee hive. If you are a parent or carer at our school, I hope that our website provides you with all the information that you need. If you are a prospective parent/carer and would like a tour around our school, I would be happy to show you around. Do get in touch via the office.

Welcome from the Chair and Vice Chair of Governors

Welcome to the website for The Federation of St John’s Bethnal Green and St Paul’s Whitechapel Primary Schools in East London. I am proud to be the current Chair of Governors and delighted, along with my devoted governor colleagues, to be able to manage the 3 responsibilities that we have:

• Ensuring the vision, ethos and strategic direction of the schools
• Holding the leaders to account and challenge and support them
• Overseeing the finances and premises of the schools and ensure they are used in the best interest of the children

The Federation works really well and both schools are ones of which we are very proud. As Governors we all meet together at least 3 times a year and also have an annual Awayday. Our 2 sub-committees (Pupil and Curriculum and Finance, Personnel and Premises) meet in between full Governor meetings. We also come into the schools regularly for some of the many events and on focused visits to talk to children and staff about different aspects of the schools.

We look forward to your support in helping the staff and parents/carers nurture the future adults of this world.

- Dr Robin Precey (Chair of Governors) and Fr Richard Springer (Vice Chair of Governors)
