Every child in the school is put in a school team at the end of their EYFS year. Each team has been given members of staff to lead it and drive up that competitive edge and children will stay within that team during their time at St John’s Green. Children will be able to earn points for their school team through their endeavours in the classroom, the work they do at home, extra curricular activities and sporting events – ie. Sports Day. Each week points will be tallied and the winning team announced and a running total will be kept.

Each team is named after a well-known Colchester landmark or event – ABBEY, COLNE, PRIORY, SIEGE and TEMPLE and has been assigned a colour.

Team Abbey – Red
Team Colne – Blue
Team Priory – Yellow
Team Siege – Green
Team Temple - Purple

To facilitate the smooth running and identification of the teams we have sourced polo shirts which match the colours of each team. These polo shirts are available from Smartypants as part of our school uniform. Please click on the link to access Smartypants website https://www.smartypantsschoolwear.com/st-johns-green.html
