St John's College, sometimes referred to simply as St John's or SJC, is an independent day and boarding school located in Southsea, Hampshire, England. It was founded by the De La Salle Brothers in 1908[2] and it continues to retain their Christian and Catholic values. St John's is a through-school for pupils between the ages of 2 and 18. The acting Head of College at St John's is Mrs Mary Maguire.

The College has several notable alumni, known as Old Johannians or OJs, including the Lord Chief Justice of England and Wales Lord Ian Burnett, England footballer Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and BBC newsreader George Alagiah.

History

St John's College was founded in Southsea, Portsmouth in 1908 by the De La Salle Brothers as an independent boys' school. The founding headmaster was Brother Firme of Quiévy, France.[3] The Catholic De La Salle Brothers supported the ethos and ideals of Saint John Baptist De La Salle, the patron saint of teachers, and the Founder of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools.

St John's moved to its current site in 1912. On 28 May 1912, Edmond Brunher, Superior General of the Order, countersigned the conveyance of Grove House (known today as the Castle) and Warleigh House.[4] The College subsequently purchased other properties in its vicinity, settling the entire urban campus. There has been a School Chapel on the site since 1913. St John's Gazette was founded in 1915.

During World War One 119 pupils and staff joined the Armed Forces to defend their country. Twelve did not return. Between 1928 and 1929 the WW1 memorial and St John Baptist De La Salle statue were both unveiled in the College grounds.[5]

An application to the College of Arms for the school crest was granted in the early 1930s. The five pointed star represents the Lasallian Order, the position of St John's by the sea is affirmed by the six waves.[6]

Portsmouth was subjected to many enemy air-raids in World War Two and the College suffered extensive damage. During the war years the College established a sister school in Hassocks, Sussex, where boarders were evacuated away from the bombing in Southsea.[7] Some 53 Johannians lost their lives in the service of their country, including 1940–41 School Captain and Captain of Cricket, Lieutenant Edward Fitzgerald.[8]

The Roll of Honour of 1914–18 had a much lengthier list added to it, and a further memorial board to the Old Johannians who lost their lives is now maintained by the school. Every Remembrance Day the names on the memorial are read out by the staff and pupils.[9]

Shortly after the war the College began to rebuild itself, and, in 1945, St John's College Sixth Form was founded. The school became a Catholic direct grant grammar school under the Education Act 1944 for many years while maintaining its independent status as a member of the Association of Governing Bodies of Public Schools.[10] The site continued to advance from 1958 to 1968 with the opening of the Jubilee block on the College's 50th anniversary. A parent-teacher association was formed in 1962.[11]

Following a trend set by many independent boys' schools, girls were admitted into the sixth form in 1971. The College did not become fully coeducational until 1996. In 2008, St John's celebrated its Centenary. On 1 September 2015, the College attained full Independent Charitable Status and decoupled itself from the De la Salle Trust.[12]

Structure

St John's is split into four sections: a Junior School (with Little St John's Nursery) for children aged between 2 and 11; a Senior School for pupils aged 11 to 16; a Sixth Form College for students studying for their A-Levels; and a Boarding School for students aged 9 to 18 from the UK and overseas.

St John's structures its years into a House system. In the Senior School there are four houses: Leo, Edwin, Alan and Damian all named after notable Brothers who have served as Headmaster over the years. In the Junior School they have different names for the houses including: Castle, Woodleigh, St Anne's and School. The College organises inter-house activities such as house 5-a-side matches, house music and house drama. Points are tallied and at the end of each academic year a trophy is awarded to the house with the highest score. A similar system exists on the academic side with the Warren Trophy. Conduct card points can also be gained for good behaviour, uniform and manners. An annual speech night and prize giving ceremony takes place each summer. A Founders Day service is held each November at St John's Cathedral, Portsmouth.

St John's College and its head-teachers are members of the Independent Schools Council, the Boarding Schools' Association, the Independent Association of Preparatory Schools and the Society of Heads.[13] Following its November 2014 inspection by the Independent Schools Inspectorate, Little St John's provision in Early Years was judged to be Outstanding in all areas.[14]

Co-curricular activities

Both the Junior and Senior Schools offer extra-curricular activities and after-school clubs. These include: a string ensemble and wind band; Girls' Choir; Drama Club; Science Club; Design and Tech Club; Archive Club; and Art Club; together with Scrabble and Chess Clubs. Some of these clubs can date their history at the College back to the 1920s and 1930s.[15]

Foreign exchange trips take place with schools in Paris and Spain, and each year the College organises a ski-trip for students. St John's participated in the inter-schools Rock Challenge in 2015, for which it won 6 awards.[16] The College also has a Duke of Edinburgh Award programme, organising an annual expedition for participating students.

The Politics Society

The Politics Society at St. John's was founded in 1977. The founder, Mr Bernard Black (1934–2013),[17] was Head of Political Studies from 1977 to 1999. Speakers have included Baroness Margaret Thatcher,[18] Harold Wilson (former prime minister and previous President of the Society),[18] Tony Benn,[17] Enoch Powell,[17] Rowan Williams – former Archbishop of Canterbury,[18] Lord Douglas Hurd (current President of the Society),[18] Nigel Farage MEP,[19] former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw,[19] former Green Party leader – Caroline Lucas MP,[18] Theresa May MP – Home Secretary and subsequently the UK's second woman prime minister;[18] Lord Judge former Lord Chief Justice; the former Director of Liberty, Baroness Shami Chakrabarti CBE;[20] and the United States Ambassador to the UK, His Excellency Matthew Barzun.[21] Meetings are coordinated by Dr Graham Goodlad, Head of Government and Politics at St John’s College.

The Chapel Choir

The St John's College choir can date its roots back to the 1940s when the choir was said to be 50 strong and performed in local churches and Hampshire music festivals, under first the musical direction of Mr John Deegan until 1948 and then Mrs Helen Dyer, who remained choir mistress for the next 25 years.[22]

St John's traditional robed Chapel Choir was reformed in September 2009. Provision is made for 24 choristers for boys aged between 8 and 14 years old. The Choristers are led by a Head and Deputy Head Chorister and six Senior Choristers. In addition there are 18 Choral Scholars aged 15–18 who sing the alto, tenor and bass parts. The choir has been on a number of international tours, including to France, Italy (singing in front of the Pope), Austria, Holland, and Belgium. They have sung on the BBC's Songs of Praise, in Westminster Abbey, at the Queen's Chapel and the Royal Albert Hall.

Sport

History

Sporting endeavour has been a feature of life at St John's since its foundation. There has been an annual sports day at St John's College since 1918.[23] For a comparatively small school it has produced a number of notable alumni (see Notable former pupils, below).

Over its history the College has promoted a wide range of sporting opportunities for its students. The diversity of its success has included: 1913 Portsmouth Times Rifle Cup and Holbrook Rifle Cup champions; Hampshire Six-a-Side football finalists 1926, 1974, champions 1938, 1947, 1951, 1954, 1964; senior doubles tennis champions, Wimbledon Park Tournament 1951; Southsea Regatta Schools Invitational Rowing Champions 1951, 1952, 1956, 1959; Inter-Schools Cup rowing champions – 14 consecutive years 1953–67; Box Clement Shield for Swimming 1955-56; Portsmouth City Championship for swimming 1956; Serpentine Rowing Champions 1961; Hampshire Rugby Sevens Champions 1965; Public Schools Football Plate winners 1967; British Orienteering Championships winners 1972; under 14 and under 15 Portsmouth Football League Champions, 1976.[24]

In more modern times, the school had a clean-sweep as champions of the under 13, under 14, under 15 and under 16 age-groups of the South East Hampshire Netball League in 2014. This was the fourth consecutive season SJC had won the under 15 league. Later that year, girls netball saw further success against the national Malta schools team while on tour. 2014 was also the year that the under 18's lifted the Hampshire Rugby plate.[25] In 2017, the College came third in the senior boys indoor British Independent Schools Ski Championships.[26]

Sports facilities

Within the College grounds there is a multi-purpose hall for badminton, basketball, netball, volleyball and cricket nets, together with a squash court, fitness suite and a climbing wall. Outside there is an all-weather astro-turf pitch.

The school also owns some 40 acres (16 ha) of sports grounds at Farlington (known as "Fields"), which include netball and tennis courts, cricket, football and rugby pitches, as well as a pavilion. The school sometimes uses the HMS Temeraire grounds, and sports facilities offered by the University of Portsmouth.

Each school term focuses on a different sport. The boys compete in rugby union, rugby sevens, field hockey and cricket, whilst the girls play field hockey, netball and rounders.

Co-curricular sports clubs include badminton, basketball, climbing, dance, squash, swimming, sailing and skiing. SJC operates an Athlete Development Group for advanced pupils.

Alumni

St John's ex-students formed the Old Johannians in 1919, first as an Old Boys' Club, then in 1925 as the Old Johannian Association.[28] In 1927 St. John's Gazette published St John's first school song, which later provided a resonance at Old Johannian Annual Dinners:

The School! The School! The School! And all who love its story! The School! The School! The School! Its name – its fame – its glory! O'er land and sea, Right royally, We'll bear its golden rule – And now with me give – THREE TIMES THREE! The School! The School! The School![29]

After World War 2, on 12 January 1946, the Association held a Victory Reunion Dinner, attended by some 100 Old Johannians, the majority still in uniform.[30]

Sir Alec Rose accepted honorary membership of the Old Johannian Association before his single-handed circumnavigation of the globe in 1967-8 and attended the OJ golden jubilee dinner and dance upon his return.[31]

The Association continues to run several gatherings each year, notably the AGM and Dinner held on the first Saturday after Easter, and a golf tournament.
