St John’s is the Bedfordshire LA designated specialist provision for multi-sensory impairment (MSI). The school’s main site is situated in Kempston on a 2.5 acre area in Austin Canons.  The older building(dating from 1954) houses the secondary aged pupils and is separated by recreation and play areas from the newer building which contains administration offices and classroom space for the primary pupils.
