What Ofsted found
Full inspection, June 2023.
- Overall effectiveness: The John Fisher School continues to be a good school.
- Safeguarding: The arrangements for safeguarding are effective.
- Inspectors found that a few pupils with SEND do not have access to the same curriculum as their peers and that some pupils are not well supported with their literacy.
- Inspectors found that governors have not been given rigorous enough information by senior leaders, which limits how well they can hold leaders to account.
