Thank you for taking the first step in joining our school community and for expressing an interest in joining us by looking at our website.
We believe it is the most precious thing, to take responsibility for a student’s education and we would be privileged (and delighted) if you would make the decision to join our school community.
The information set out in this page is there to help students and parents who are thinking about applying to Saint John Houghton CVA in the near future and to provide parents and students with as much information as possible to help them to make the decision that Saint John Houghton CVA is the right school for them.
Much of the information required is held in other parts of the website, but the information and links provided should help you/your child to feel more comfortable in making us your school of choice.

Admissions
In recent years, we have been fully subscribed and we have had waiting lists in each year group of the school. The reputation of the school is going from strength to strength and coupled with our recent ‘Good’ often judgement (March 2019), we are on a journey of continuous improvement. There has never been a more exciting time to join our school community!
We are constantly refining our pastoral support for each and every child, which has always been one of the greatest strengths of our school and the progress made by our students is above the national average in many subjects, including Religious Education, English and Maths. In the Science, Geography and Business Studies, students regularly achieve grades significantly higher than national averages.
