Our School

St John Fisher Catholic Primary School is a one-form entry primary school situated in Erith, within the London Borough of Bexley. We are proud to serve our local community as a close-knit school where every child is known, valued and nurtured as an individual.

Being a one-form entry school means that strong, consistent relationships are at the heart of everything we do. Our children learn within a calm, supportive and well-ordered environment where high expectations and exceptional pastoral care work hand-in-hand. This enables every child to feel a deep sense of belonging and to thrive both personally and academically.

We are proud to be part of the London Borough of Bexley and to work in close partnership with families, our parish and the wider community in Thamesmead. Our school plays an active role in the area we serve, and we are committed to helping children understand their place within the community and develop a strong sense of responsibility towards others.

At the heart of St John Fisher is our motto:
These words express the essence of who we are. We believe children flourish when they feel loved, valued and inspired. Learning at St John Fisher is about both achieving academic excellence and nurturing the whole child - developing curiosity, character and confidence, while helping every child discover the joy of learning and the importance of serving others with compassion and kindness.

We firmly believe that education is strongest when schools, families, parishes and communities work together. Strong partnerships with parents and carers are central to the life of St John Fisher, and we value the trust placed in us to guide and support each child’s journey. By working together in faith, love and mutual respect, we create an environment where children feel safe, happy and inspired to achieve their very best.

At St John Fisher, we are proud to provide an education that prepares children not only for the next stage of learning, but for a life lived with faith, courage, wisdom and compassion.

Love. Learn. Shine.

We look forward to welcoming you into our St John Fisher family.
