St John the Baptist School is acoeducationalCatholic secondary school andsixth form inWoking,Surrey, England.[1] The school was one of the first 100 designatedteaching schools in the UK.
The school serves primarily the Catholic community of the Woking Deanery, which comprises the parishes ofWoking withSend,Camberley, Camberley North withBagshot,Frimley,Knaphill andWest 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.

In conjunction with The Surrey Teaching Schools Network, SJB has been successful in securing the licence for leadership provision of the National College for School Leadership's programmes. As a teaching school, St John the Baptist School is responsible for the NPQH.
Previously avoluntary aided school administered by theSurrey County Council, St. John the Baptist School converted toacademy status in September 2016. The school is now sponsored by the Xavier Catholic Education Trust.
In 2022/23, overall pupil absence at the school was 6.4%.[2] This compares to 8% in the Surrey local authority, and 9% in England.[2]
In 2010, the A Level results were 100% pass with 71% at A*-B.[3]
The GCSE results were 97.4% of students achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grade C or above (89.4% including English and Maths). 51% of grades were A* and A putting the school at 128 in the Daily Mail rankings. However, this is a non-selective school so the comparisons may be questioned as many of the schools higher in the table select on ability.
Recently the school had been given the 'Go Ahead' to create a newSEN classroom to educate 30 autistic students within the local area aged 11-16, this has been done due to the fact that there are noSEN classrooms in and around the area
