We are delighted to announce that St John XXIII Giving Day will take place on Tuesday 3 March and Wednesday 4 March 2026. Over these two special days, our whole school community will come together in celebration and generosity to support an exciting and lasting improvement for our children.

This year, we are raising money to enhance our school computing suite. In today’s world, digital skills are not optional, they are essential. A modern, well-equipped computing environment will enable our pupils to develop confidence, creativity and critical thinking, preparing them not only for secondary school, but for the digital world beyond.

Giving Day is about more than fundraising, it is about community. It is about working together for the benefit of our children and investing in something that will positively impact every pupil.

Full details of activities can be found below. We warmly encourage everyone to get involved, whether by sponsoring your child, attending events,  making a donation or spreading the word.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. It promises to be an uplifting and memorable two days that will showcase St John XXIII at its very best.
