St Mary's and St John's CE School is a mixed Church of England all-through school located in the Hendon area of the London Borough of Barnet, England. It is widely known as SMSJ and is the first all-through school in Barnet. It is part of the London Diocesan Board of Schools, administered by the Church of England Diocese of London.
Previously a primary school located at Prothero Gardens in Hendon, in September 2014 St Mary's and St John's CE School began accepting secondary school age pupils. The school has also expanded onto a second site on Sunningfields Road previously occupied by the now closed St Mary's CE High School.
St Mary's CE High School was founded in 1707 and was previously located on two sites, Downage and Sunningfields Road in Hendon. Due to falling pupil numbers the school began a process of closing in 2012, with new year group admissions ceasing from that year. By September 2013 St Mary's CE High School solely occupied the Downage site with St Mary's and St John's School taking over the Sunningfields Road site. St Mary's CE High School finally closed on the 21st of June 2016 after 309 years of existence.[1]and will also ultimately St Mary's and St John's CE School will also take over the Downage site from 2016.[2]
