St John's College is a constituent college of the University of Oxford.[2] Founded as a men's college in 1555, it has been coeducational since 1979.[3] Its founder, Sir Thomas White, intended to provide a source of educated Roman Catholic clerics to support the Counter-Reformation under Queen Mary.
St John's is the wealthiest college in Oxford, with assets worth over of £790 million as of 2022, largely due to nineteenth-century suburban development of land in the city of Oxford of which it is the ground landlord.[4]
The college occupies a site on St Giles' and has a student body of some 390 undergraduates and 250 postgraduates.[5] There are over 100 academic staff,[5] and a like number of other staff.[6] In 2018 St John's topped the Norrington Table, the annual ranking of Oxford colleges' final results, and in 2021, St John's ranked second with a score of 79.8.[7][8]
