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.

The latest BYB challenge developed by our Sports Majors is called 'Sharks and Fish', which is based on 'tig'.
In groups of at least four, one child takes on the role of the shark while the others are the fish. The aim of the challenge is simple: the shark must try to tag the fish before they reach the coloured hoop. Our Sports Majors will call out a colour, and the fish must dash to the correct hoop as quickly as they can.
The level of challenge can be increased or decreased by:
using more or fewer hoops
choosing smaller or larger hoops
placing the hoops closer together or further apart
adding more than one shark
This activity is a great test of agility, speed and positioning — all essential skills in team games such as football, netball, basketball and rugby.
How will you do? Will you beat your best? Join the Sports Majors at morning break and find out!

We are a Catholic community whose mission is to fully prepare our students for the wider world and to send them into it equipped for life and for the service of others. We come together from diverse backgrounds, united by Christ, by the highest aspirations and by a thirst for excellence to instil in our students a respect for themselves, for others and for their environment. We take our inspiration for Jesus’ commandment to “love one another”.
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to the All Saints school community.
As a Christian community we adhere to Gospel Values as the foundation for all that we do. We celebrate the cultural and religious diversity of our students and staff and thrive on our shared ethos which has, at its centre, love for one another.
Our school is a family where we support, challenge and care for one another. We have the highest expectations of students and staff alike, in every area of school. Positive behaviour and relationships and a positive approach to learning are seen as essential ingredients in ensuring well being and academic success for all. Our school is an environment where students feel safe, cared for and confident to express themselves, form strong relationships and embrace all the opportunities our school offers them.
We are extremely proud of our dedicated team of staff and of the high quality of teaching and pastoral care which results in excellent relationships formed between staff and students based on mutual respect and care for one another. Our personalised curriculum offers breadth, depth and opportunities for all students to engage and succeed whilst extensive extracurricular provision, enhanced by superb facilities, ensures daily enrichment for all. Staff and students are on the learning journey together here at All Saints where we all strive continuously for excellence and to be the best that we can be.
I look forward to meeting you personally in the near future and working with you in partnership as we set out on the journey together as part of the All Saints family.
