School Description

The leadership team has maintained the good quality of education in the school since the last inspection. Together, you have ensured that St John Fisher Catholic Primary School remains a vibrant, purposeful place to learn, underpinned by its strong, distinctive Catholic ethos. You have established an effective leadership team. Governors, leaders and staff share your vision and passion for improving the learning experiences of every individual. You have an accurate view of the school’s strengths and areas for development. Consequently, you have clearly focused on the correct priorities and are taking effective action to address areas of weakness. An example of this is the improvements you have made to the provision for English grammar, punctuation and spelling (EGPS), following a dip in results in 2017. These improvements have had a clear impact on the development of pupils’ skills, which, in turn, is beginning to improve the quality of pupils’ writing. You rightly acknowledge, however, that there is still more to do to improve standards in writing further. The school is rightly proud of its Catholic ethos. The school achieves its aim to ensure that ‘together with Christ; we love, learn and pray as one family’. Staff and pupils are happy and proud of their school. During the inspection, pupils were keen to share their learning experiences with us when we visited them during their lessons. They could clearly explain what they were learning about and demonstrated an enjoyment in learning. They are polite and well mannered, and their conduct around the school is good.
