 Welcome to our parish of St. John Vianney in Bexleyheath. We are a Roman Catholic Church belonging to the Archdiocese of Southwark and part of the Bexley Deanery. We are a small friendly parish with a very distinctive flint church which is located at 21, Heathfield Road. You can find us just behind Megabowl. There is a sign to the church in The Broadway, just by The Golden Lion Pub and the Esso Petrol Station. Walk down Lion Road and Heathfield Road is the first turning on the left. You cannot miss us.

Please be punctual. If your child is ill or cannot attend any session for a serious reason make sure you let either Maria Griffith-Crowe or Fr Michael know in advance.

*St Thomas More Catholic Primary School* |
In March, our parish primary school underwent their Ofsted Inspection. It lasted two days and we are delighted that the outcome was Outstanding (as was the Inspection of Catholic Education which happened in 2016 at the school). Back in 2010 I wrote a letter to the parents of the school to hope that one day the school would be in the Premiership and it has happened! All areas were outstanding including, EYFS, Outcomes, Teaching and learning. We are very proud of all the children who attend and worked so very hard to make this happen. If you would like to read the report it will be on the school website www.stm.bexley.sch.uk. Congratulations to Mrs. Doran-Hannon and her team.
