Welcome

Welcome to St John Fisher Catholic Primary School and thank you for visiting our website. We hope it gives you a clear insight into our school community and the life of our children. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus reminds us: “Let your light shine before others” (Matthew 5:16). At St John Fisher, we believe every child has unique gifts and talents, and we are committed to helping them grow in confidence, flourish in learning and shine brightly in all they do.

St John Fisher is a vibrant and caring Catholic school where faith, learning and love are at the centre of everything we do. Guided by our mission - “We stand united in faith with the courage to build a loving world of truth, justice, peace and wisdom” - we are committed to ensuring that every child is supported to flourish academically, spiritually, morally, socially and emotionally.

We are very fortunate to have a dedicated team of staff who work tirelessly to provide the very best education and care for every child. Our aim is simple: to help each child reach their full potential and leave St John Fisher as a confident, compassionate and responsible individual, well prepared for the next stage of their learning journey and for life beyond school.

At the heart of our success is partnership. We believe that children achieve their very best when school, home and parish work closely together. We value the strong relationships we have with parents and carers, and we are deeply grateful for the support, trust and involvement they bring to school life. We are equally proud of our close links with our parish community, which enriches and strengthens our Catholic identity.

We are committed to providing a broad, balanced and engaging curriculum that inspires curiosity, builds knowledge and develops the essential skills children need for the future. Alongside this, we place great importance on character development, helping children grow in confidence, resilience and kindness so they can make a positive contribution to the world around them.

Everything we do at St John Fisher is underpinned by high expectations, strong values and a shared commitment to excellence. We want every child to feel safe, valued and inspired, and to experience success in all areas of school life.

It is a privilege to lead such a special school community, and I look forward to welcoming you to St John Fisher.

Love. Learn. Shine.

Mrs Garrett
