School profile

St John Fisher Catholic Comprehensive School

We are a Catholic school situated in the heart of the Medway towns serving a diverse community with around 900 pupils.

Over the past three years the school has been on a journey of improvement and this is reflected in our recent 2019 "Good" OFSTED report and in our improving and increasingly good GCSE and A level results, including this years GCSE results; our best ever.

The Catholic ethos of the school means that we are focussed on developing the whole child, spiritually and educationally, and we would welcome any potential teachers who share these values.
