St. John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School has a proud history of educating our local Medway community. Established in 1964, we are the only Catholic secondary school in the local authority. One of seven secondary modern schools in the area, we are a diverse community, proud to educate Catholic students as well as those of other faiths and none.
Our students often refer to us as their second family, and it is a great place to work as a teacher. Our community of staff is incredibly supportive of each other, and our personalised CPD programme means that everyone’s career development is supported in a way that is specific to them. We are passionate about work-life balance, finishing lessons early on a Wednesday afternoon so that CPD and meetings can largely take place during normal school hours, and we provide counselling services free of charge to those who need them. In addition, our feedback policy asks that staff read student books and then get the class to respond collectively in the next lesson in purple pen, rather than requiring that every set of books be deep marked on a frequent basis.
The school has been on a trajectory of improvement since the appointment of the Headteacher, Dympna Lennon, in September 2016. This was recognised in our ‘Good’ Ofsted in May 2019, with inspectors commenting that ‘standards across the school have improved since the last inspection’ and ‘Teaching, learning and assessment are strong across subjects.’ We were proud to be recognised as an ‘Outstanding’ Catholic school in our 2021 Diocesan Inspection. SJF’s sixth form offers a wide range of academic and vocational qualifications. It has a comprehensive intake, ranging from students who are re-taking Level 2 qualifications all the way to those who are enrolled in our Oxbridge programme which helps students to reach the top universities.
Having been the recipient of a multimillion-pound grant from the Department for Education’s Priority Schools Building Programme, we moved into world-class, purpose-built facilities in Spring 2023. Situated at the top of City Way looking down across Rochester and the River Medway, the school is equipped with enviable sporting and academic facilities.
SJF undoubtedly has a proud history, but we are even more excited about the future. We hope that you’ll want to be part of it.
