Why work at The John Roan School

The John Roan School is a vibrant and distinctive community, shaped by a proud heritage and a forward‑thinking approach to education. 

We want every student to achieve exceptional academic outcomes while developing the character, resilience and confidence to live fulfilling, successful lives. Our values of Determination, Excellence and Respect underpin everything we do.

We are ambitious for every child—regardless of background, starting point, or individual needs. We believe all young people can achieve extraordinary things. Our staff challenge students to push beyond perceived limits, to work hard and to be their very best.

Teaching and learning sit at the heart of our work. We prioritise academic rigour, high-quality classroom practice and purposeful use of every moment in the school day. Our belief is simple: pupils only get one education, so every second counts.

Our partnership with the award‑winning Parent‑Teacher Association, the JRSA, further enriches our community and reflects the strong sense of collaboration at the heart of The John Roan School.
