Rev. Bruce Johnson

My Name is Revd Bruce Johnson and I am the Team Vicar responsible for four churches in Rosliston, Coton-in-the-Elms, Croxall and Walton-on-Trent. I have been here for just a few  months now, after having been ordained four years ago at Derby Cathedral. Prior to that I worked Internationally as an IT Programme/Project Manager for over 25 years but I also have experience of working in High schools and Primary schools, having supported and worked in three schools in pastoral and project-based roles, covering some very exciting school moves and a series of very complex situational needs.

I am married with three grown up children and one grandson. I am very interested in local history, travel and languages (I speak three languages). I am really looking forward to getting to know everybody at Rosliston school better and supporting everybody and the school to achieve their full potential.
