Welcome to Finchingfield St John the Baptist Primary Academy & Nursery

Where we grow healthy bodies, loving hearts and inquisitive minds: living ‘life in its fullness” John 10:10

It is with great pleasure that we welcome you to the website for Finchingfield St John the Baptist Church of England Primary Academy. Our academy is part of the Canonium Learning Trust, which is a family of schools united by a shared purpose – to provide every child with the very best education possible.

At Finchingfield St John the Baptist Church of England Primary Academy, the very best education possible demands an ambition curriculum. 

Influenced by the Church of England’s vision to educate for ‘life in all its fullness‘ (John 10:10), our focus on wisdom prioritises the spiritual, physical, intellectual, emotional, moral and social development of our children. We aim to inspire wisdom with a golden thread of deep knowledge, critical thinking, strong communication and exciting learning opportunities running consistently throughout our curriculum.

Ultimately, we want our pupils to leave our academy as knowledgeable, thoughtful and articulate individuals, who are equipped with the cultural capital to thrive in our evolving world and society. By working together, we ensure our pupils are supported and challenge to nurture a keen mind, a willingness to question and the ability to make right choices, so that they are prepared for secondary school and beyond.

We would be delighted to welcome you and look forward to sharing what makes our school unique.


Mr Hawrylak and Mrs Metson
