What makes SJR such a unique and exciting place to study is that we are a close-knit community. That is why support for students at St John Rigby College is considered “outstanding;” because we as a staff genuinely do care about each and every one of our students.

If you scroll through the links on this page you will meet the key members of the pastoral team that will ensure that your transition from high school to college will be a success.

We look forward to welcoming you to the St John Rigby family and meeting you in person once the new academic year starts. Until then, we want you to know that we are there for you. 

Stay well, stay safe and see you soon!
