It was opened in 1888, and it is the oldest purpose-built preparatory school in the UK.[2] The building is Grade II listed and was designed by John Francis Bentley in Tudor style with a Perpendicular chapel,[3] and it was named St John's, in honour of St John Berchmans, who was canonised that year.[4] HistoryThe school was founded by the Roman Catholic Society of Jesus and was built as a preparatory school for Beaumont College, which closed in 1967.[1] On 25 September 1888 the school was opened by the Bishop of Southwark, John Baptist Butt.[5] In 1970, after an initial period of uncertainty following the closure of Beaumont College, the governors of Stonyhurst College accepted responsibility for St John's. However students go on, as well as to Stonyhurst, to nearer schools such as Eton College, Winchester College, Radley College and Harrow.[6] FacilitiesIt is located 11 miles away from both Heathrow Airport and Central London.[3] The school was built initially for 60 boys aged between 7 and 13 and this can still be seen in the provision of 60 carved wooden chapel pews and 60 individual dormitory cubicles. However, the school has expanded both its classroom provision and its facilities to accommodate over 300 pupils.[7] In 1993 a new swimming pool with four lanes was opened by David Wilkie, a former Olympic Champion and world record holder; it is run by a separate organisation called The Development Company. In October 2009, a new sports centre was opened by Queen Elizabeth II,[3] giving the school day pupils, boarders and the local community access to football, cricket, judo and rock climbing of a 30-foot wall.[1] List of headmasters{{col-begin}}{{col-3}}
