It is with great pleasure we welcome you to Finchingfield St John the Baptist Church of England Primary Academy and Nursery. Our academy is a proud member of Canonium Learning Trust, a dynamic community of schools with a shared mission to provide every child with the best education possible.

Our vision builds on the strong start our children experience in our nursery where we nurture the development of loving, healthy, curious, knowledgeable and confident self-directed children facilitated by respectful responsive adults who understand and support learning from a child's perspective and starting point.

Finchingfield St John the Baptist is a small and growing village school. Our teaching philosophy is influenced by the foundational principles of Montessori education, emphasising the belief that every child has the ability to learn, explore, think critically, absorb knowledge, make informed decisions, and grow into respectful, well-rounded loving individuals within a carefully prepared learning environment.

If you are looking for a nursery or school place or just interested in our dynamic educational approach, we will be delighted to welcome you and show you around our small school with a BIG heart.
