About Us

Welcome to John Perry Primary School’s website

I am the Head Teacher and I, together with my team, lead the school. John Perry is a three-form entry school in Barking and Dagenham, which serves a culturally diverse community. We embrace community cohesion and work well to establish strong, positive relationships with parents, carers and families. Working in partnership with other schools, we drive forward improvements for children in our local community.

At John Perry, we strive to ensure that every child succeeds to the best of their ability. We provide all of our children with an ambitious and aspirational curriculum, which fosters a love of learning for life. We encourage children to nurture their gifts and talents through a stimulating curriculum and a range of enrichment activities. We have a dynamic team of staff who model exemplary practice across all areas of the school. Our children are provided with outstanding role models. We take pride in educating and nurturing each child, enabling them to achieve high standards of academic attainment whilst also enabling them to become capable, caring and confident human beings.

I am extremely proud of the strong school ethos that underpins all that we do in school. The school’s moral compass is a visual reminder of our School Values. It makes clear the positive attributes that we promote and that we expect all children and staff to demonstrate through their attitudes and behaviours.

By navigating through our website, you will have all of the information you need about our school.

We look forward to your feedback.

We are committed to creating a culture of high expectations, with the ambition and drive to succeed prevalent amongst all members of our school community.

Our school curriculum is based on partnership learning with parents and carers. We believe that children learn best through direct experience, linking their learning at school with the support from parents and carers at home. We’ve developed a curriculum that stimulates enthusiasm, captures interest and provides broad learning opportunities for pupils of all abilities.

We promote continuous self-reflection in our practice; we instil a desire for constant improvement amongst our staff and children. We deliver inspired teaching that encourages positive attitudes towards lifelong learning. We want our children to feel valued and confident as individuals and ensure they feel supported, safe and cared for in our school. We aim that children leave John Perry with a love for learning, a clear sense of responsibility and independence and an understanding of the importance of community and how their behaviour impacts upon others.

At John Perry Primary, our schools values are:

To be kind, thoughtful, respectful and tolerant.

To be resilient, have a positive attitude and believe in yourself.

To enjoy learning and to become lifelong learners.

To demonstrate a strong sense of responsibility.

We asked our pupils about behaviour and our school values:

‘Resilience, respect and tolerance and kind and thoughtful are very important.’

COMMENT FROM OFSTED

“Children in the early years enthusiastically showed inspectors their work and invited inspectors to join in with their learning. Older pupils proudly showed inspectors the work in their books and talked passionately about their love of reading. One pupil told inspectors, “We read a pirate book. This book made me think about writing my own book”. Positive attitudes to learning are a feature of your school.”
