St John Fisher RC Primary School is a Catholic School in the Diocese of Salford. We are a one-form entry school and have over 240 pupils in Nursery to Year 6. Over the last few years we have been heavily oversubscribed with applications for places for our new intakes in Reception as well as a waiting list for other year groups within the school. Parents are positive and supportive of the school ethos and appreciate the friendly and approachable staff team we have.
As part of the Emmaus Catholic Academy Trust, we will benefit from enhanced professional development, access to wider resources and opportunities for collaboration with other schools, strengthening both our teaching and learning provision. Applicants should be aware of this transition and the opportunities it will bring as we continue to grow and develop within a strong Catholic educational community. Ofsted acknowledged in our Section 5 inspection in March 2022 that teachers have high expectations of pupils academically, including pupils with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND). In return, pupils concentrate on their learning and achieve well.
The pupils enjoy attending St John Fisher RC Primary School. They told inspectors that they feel happy and safe when they are in school. Pupils said that their teachers look after them. Our curriculum is broad and ambitious for all our pupils. We continue to develop and refine the curriculum so that it closely aligns with the needs of the pupils at the school. We use Read Write Inc. to teach phonics, we use Pathways to Write and Pathways to Spell in English and we use White Rose Maths Schemes of Work to support planning and assessment in Maths. Our well-designed curriculum supports pupils to know and remember more important subject content and prepares them for when they leave us so that they have the skills and knowledge that they need to access the next stages of their education.
We have a small, friendly, dedicated and professional team which includes a Headteacher who is currently our SENCO, Deputy Headteacher, School Business Manager, Two Middle Leaders, 11 teachers, 10 HLTA/TA’s, Pastoral Lead, SEN Support Assistant, Admin Assistant, 3 Site Staff and 5 Midday Assistants. They are supported by a skilled Speech and Language Therapist and Educational Psychologist who attend school on a regular basis. All staff at St John Fisher School believe that we are in a privileged position in helping to form the lives of the young people in our care.
Our core values of: faith, love, passion, and courage underpin our mission statement and vision. They also determine the ethos and culture in our school. We are a welcoming school with a culture of inclusion. We believe that all children have potential and if they are taught and challenged in the right way can achieve great things. We are committed to providing the children with a quality education that stimulates learning, experiences that are lifelong and for all of our children to experience success and know they have a mission in the wider world. Ultimately, we want to help each child discover their God given talents and use them to change the world for the good of others.
