Building Schools for the future 2010

Where are we?

St John’s Catholic Comprehensive SchoolRochester RoadGravesendKentDA12 2JW

We, at St John's, are very fortunate to be building a new school at this exciting time. The school we are building will be completed by July 2010 and will not be like the schools of the past.

St John's Catholic Comprehensive has three separate communities within the one school. The three communities are St Patrick, St Ambrose, and St Clare. Each community will be the learning base for a maximum of 380 pupils, thereby increasing the sense of family and security which can sometimes be lost in a school of over 1100 students.
