The school has a commitment to providing first class ICT facilities for its students. Java support is required for panoramic images.
In June 1998 our patron, HRH the Duchess of Gloucester, opened the new Communications and Sixth Form  Study Centre. When they enter school, 4th form boys embark upon a three year programme covering word-processing, databases, spreadsheets, graphic design and desktop publishing and they are examined in all five of these elements. They quickly develop proficiency with these facilities and use o level subject in the sixth form.

ICT is used in all departments in the school without exception. For example, geographers are able to down load information from weather satellites, artists use graphic design facilities, musicians use keyboards linked to computers for editing and arranging their own compositions and scientists use software for data recording whilst their experiments are in progress. One of the ICT rooms is equipped for use as a virtual language laboratory. The schools outstanding facilities greatly enhance the quality of learning throughout St John's.

Java support is required for panoramic images. The school network has been designed to run at the highest specification. Each machine has a high resolution 17" monitor with high quality multi-media facilities.  Individual e-mail addresses are assigned to every student. Likewise, excellent teaching and learning use is made of the Internet. The computers are available to the students throughout the day as well as during evening prep time and the ICT staff are readily available to assist and rectify any problems that may occur. The school's ICT provision is being constantly upgraded to keep it at the forefront of modern technology.
