The School

St John's College was founded in 1908 by a community of French Brothers of the order of St John Baptist De La Salle (patron saint of teachers). The school now accepts students of all denominations and occupies a site a few hundred metres from the seafront. The centrepiece of the school is the Firme Building which was opened in 1992 and houses a sports hall, theatre, sixth-form common room and information technology suite. Recent developments include the refurbishment of the science laboratories and the creation of a new suite of rooms for GNVQ Advanced Business.
