St John Fisher Catholic Primary School

What Ofsted said

From the inspection on 5 December 2023

Pupils flourish here. They are happy and kept safe. This is because there are always adults who are there to help them should they need it. Behaviour in classrooms and around the school is exemplary. Pupils understand and demonstrate what is expected of them. This is because they are taught how to develop self-control and resilience throughout their time at school. Consequently, learning is focused, and disruption to lessons is rare. Pupils appreciate the calm, friendly and respectful atmosphere they experience at the school. The curriculum is broad and ambitious and helps all pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), to deepen their knowledge and understanding. Pupils are enthusiastic, independent and resilient. They produce work of high quality across different subjects and are very well prepared for the next stage of their education. Pupils are given opportunities to have a say in their school. There is a wide range of responsibilities available, including Catholic life ambassadors, 'play champs', the pupil parliament and eco-warriors. Electing those who perform these roles provides pupils with an understanding of democracy and prepares them well for life in modern Britain.
