St John Fisher Primary a Catholic Voluntary Academy, Spring Water Avenue, Sheffield

Welcome!

Welcome to St John Fisher

St John Fisher is an aspirational learning community, shaped by a clear vision, shared values, and a proud Catholic ethos.

We have high expectations and are ambitious for every child. We work tirelessly to ensure that all our children feel happy, safe, and loved—both in school and beyond. Our aim is to inspire every child to enjoy learning and to achieve their very best each day...

We believe that every child is unique and gifted. At St John Fisher, we celebrate individuality and nurture each child’s talents, helping them to recognise their strengths and grow in confidence. This is a place where children are known, understood, and valued.

Respect, kindness, tolerance, and understanding are the hallmarks of our school culture. We are proudly inclusive and place great importance on good manners and positive behaviour. Every child is given opportunities to succeed, and we support them in developing the skills and character needed to thrive as lifelong learners.

We value our parents and carers, recognising them as our children's first and most important educators. We actively invite partnership and involvement, keeping families informed and engaged with all aspects of school life.

I am incredibly proud of our pupils and of how we continue to grow and flourish together as a community.

If you would like to learn more, we warmly invite you to arrange a visit. Our newsletters and Curriculum Overviews, which chart our ongoing journey, are also available and provide a valuable insight.

Thank you for visiting our website.
