St John the Baptist School is a Catholic voluntary aided comprehensive school, located in Woking, Surrey, England. The school was one of the first 100 designated Teaching Schools in the United Kingdom.
The school serves primarily the Catholic community of the Woking Deanery, which comprises the parishes of Woking with Send, Camberley, Camberley North with Bagshot, Frimley, Knaphill and West Byfleet. The deanery primary schools located in that community which are the feeder schools for St John the Baptist School are: St Dunstan’s Primary School, Woking; St Augustine’s Primary School, St Mary's Byfleet, Camberley; St Hugh of Lincoln Catholic Primary School, Knaphill and The Marist Primary School, West Byfleet.
The school declares a somewhat ambitious mission statement: 'To be the best school in England'. The Headteacher, Ani Magill, regularly says that school is the most important thing there is as education gives people choices. She is also credited with creating Headteachers for other schools and in the last four years has 'produced' four headteachers Ani Magill is a National Leader of Education, (NLE) and is dedicated to supporting other schools. She is also famous for doing whatever it takes and her sense of humour - for example eating flowers in assembly and coming to school in her pyjamas when the students raised enough money for charity.
