St John's has a long history of providing successful education for the young people of Gravesham and other parts of Northwest Kent. Over the years we have grown into a school of nearly 1200 pupils. However, because of our unique structure we can maintain the intimacy of a small community many benefit from at their Primary school.

Within our school we are divided into three communities. Children are members of St Patrick (Green), St Ambrose (Blue) or St Clare (Purple) Community. These are not unlike the Houses found in other schools but have a more modern approach than that system. They are similar to a "two form entry" Primary school but with all the benefits of a large modern Secondary school built for 21st Century education.

We are a Catholic Comprehensive school. Those two words - Catholic and Comprehensive - can mean the same thing - universal. We are a school for both boys and girls; we accept all abilities between the age of 11 and 19. We are a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural school. Whilst we are a Christian community we have always welcomed pupils of other faiths. We are very proud of our heritage of inclusion and this will remain our position in the future.
