House Saints

At St John's Catholic Primary School we work really hard to demonstrate how we

live and learn God's truth in love. 

All pupils are placed into House Teams when they join our school. House Teams can earn House Points for living out our mission statement, and working and behaving to the best of our ability. For some school events, such as the Christmas talent show and Sports Day, we compete in our House Teams.

Our Houses are named after saints who are deemed to be inspirational to the children. This year, we have chosen new saints to represent the diversity in our faith and school community.

• St Bernadette, to whom Mary appeared at Lourdes. She is the patron saint of youth and those experiencing illness or poverty.
• Blessed Carlo Acutis, who is set to the first millennial saint for using technology to log miracles. He will be the patron saint of the internet
• St Josephine Bakhita, who showed extreme faith to survive enslavement. She is the patron saint of ethnic minorities and victims of mistreatment.
• St Martin de Porres, who performed great works for the poor and sick children. He is the patron saint of health workers and racial harmony.

Each year, two House Captains are voted in to represent each of our 4 houses.
