Values and vision
St John Fisher Catholic High School firmly believes that celebrating students’ achievement motivates them to achieve their potential, both inside and outside the classroom. Consequently, the school’s merit system has been reviewed and updated and students who perform to a high standard throughout the year will be given the opportunity for a reward visit to a theme park. The school’s house system is also intended to provide a community spirit for the students and competitive events.
Ofsted
“Students who arrive after the start of Year 7 settle quickly and make good progress. The sixth form is good. It is well led and managed and students make good progress. Students feel safe. Their parents also say that students are safe and happy. Students are well behaved. They are proud of the ways they can contribute to the school.”
