The John Fisher School

School overview

The John Fisher School is a boys' secondary school serving Purley, Sutton, classified by the DfE as a voluntary aided school with a Roman Catholic religious character. It has 1,134 pupils aged 11 to 18 on roll. The school's average Attainment 8 score in the latest GCSE results was 55.6 — above the national average (national average: 46). Its Attainment 8 score has risen by 0.6 points year on year. On our composite score, which combines the DfE attainment measures above, this places it among the top 13% of secondary schools in England.

65% of pupils achieved a grade 5 or above in both English and maths, well above the national average of about 45%. 86% achieved a standard pass (grade 4+) in English and maths. The John Fisher School does not currently have a recent graded Ofsted judgement on record (often the case for newer or recently converted schools), so it is worth asking when its next inspection is expected. This overview is generated automatically from the latest published DfE performance tables and Ofsted data; figures are rounded, and you can check the originals via the official links further down the page.
