Job overview
St John Fisher is a popular, 11 – 18 mixed voluntary aided comprehensive in the Diocese of East Anglia. The school was again judged by Ofsted as a ‘Good’ school in all areas in November 2017. “The school continues to be an effective provider where pupils typically experience high quality teaching and where their achievements are recognised and celebrated by the school community.” The school was also judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in all areas by the Diocesan inspectors.
The school is situated in the heart of Peterborough and is over-subscribed. Pupils of diverse cultures come mainly from the Catholic feeder schools in the area and the local community. The excellent manner in which pupils co-operate with each other and show mutual respect was noted by inspectors.

- An inspirational leader who will guide the school on its journey to ‘Outstanding’.

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.”
