Headteacher's Welcome

On behalf of the Governors, staff, and students, I am delighted to welcome you to St John Fisher Catholic Academy. We understand that choosing where to entrust the education and care of your child is one of the most important decisions a family can make, and we thank you for considering our happy, thriving, and harmonious school community.

Our mission, Educating for Life, underpins every aspect of school life. At the heart of this is our commitment to educating the whole person. We believe deeply in the value of each individual and strive to nurture every student’s unique gifts and talents. We encourage our young people to grow spiritually, intellectually, physically, and socially, supporting them to reach their full potential in a caring and inclusive environment.

St John Fisher is a flourishing school with an inspiring curriculum, high quality teaching and learning, and a strong track record of outstanding examination results. This academic success is complemented by excellence in sport, performing arts, and a wide range of enrichment opportunities.

We have high expectations for all our students and offer a curriculum that is both ambitious and responsive to individual needs. We understand that success takes many forms, and we celebrate achievement in all areas of school life.

Care and compassion are at the core of our community. Our commitment to student wellbeing is woven through every part of school life, creating an environment where young people feel supported, valued, and confident to thrive.

For those wishing to continue their education with us, the St Aidan’s and St John Fisher Associated Sixth Form offers an exceptional post-16 experience. By combining the expertise, resources, and opportunities of two highly respected schools, our Sixth Form provides a uniquely broad and high-quality curriculum, underpinned by outstanding pastoral care.

We aim for all our students to leave St John Fisher with the qualifications, confidence, compassion, and faith to make a positive and lasting difference in the world. We welcome applications from families of all faiths, or none, who are supportive of our ethos and values and who wish to be part of a community committed to excellence, character, and care.
