School life
Like all SCE schools, it followed the National Curriculum and was subject to Ofsted inspections. Most children transferred to King's School in Gütersloh, a 45-minute drive north west of Paderborn, to continue their secondary education. John Buchan School maintained ties with the local state school Goerdeler-Gymnasium and the community through performances and projects. It was also frequented by University of Paderborn students keen on learning about the British education system.[1]
