About the School
St. John’s Chapel Primary serves the village of St. John’s Chapel and the surrounding area of Weardale which is in the middle of the North Pennines. The numbers on roll vary, currently there are 44 pupils on roll. We usually have three classes as follows; EYFS amd KS1, Y3/4 and Y5/6. We have 2 full time teachers and 2 part time teachers including the headteacher.
The school dates from January 15th 1877 when it opened as a Stanhope Parish board school with just 15 on the roll. Despite the school’s name we are not a church school but maintain close links with both the local Anglican and Methodist churches. There is a weekly assembly taken by the curate or the minister. The staff works hard to make good use of the attractive local environment but because of our relatively isolated situation we also take every opportunity to extend the pupils’ range of experiences by using visitors and taking them out on educational visits. The school has gained the sports ActiveMark and has Healthy School status.
