Keep up to date with all the latest news happening in school at the moment.
On Thursday 22nd November, eight girls from Year 2 participated in a ‘Girls Football Festival’ at the Factory. It was a wonderful surprise when Jade Richards – Captain of Aston Villa ladies team, came to coach the children. They participated in several team games, followed by a variety of football skills. They were all put through their paces and had a fantastic time!
The Big Pedal is the UK’s largest inter-school cycling and scooting challenge. It inspires pupils, staff and parents to choose two wheels for their journey to school. It started on 23rd April and finished on 4th May.
Well done to all of the children, parents and staff at St John Fisher who joined in the challenge. On average, over the 2 weeks 32% of the school participated. It would be great to see children staying active by continuing to cycle or scoot to school each week, now the warmer weather is approaching.
On 25th April, Chris Watts from Sustrans, came to deliver cycle skills training to some Year 3 children as part of the Move More, Eat Well Project. The Sustrans Charity is striving to make it easier for people to walk and cycle. They worked on their balancing and cycling skills as well as learning how to maintain their bike.
Inspection of St John Fisher Catholic Primary School by Ofsted
We have just told your child's school that we will inspect it on 27 March 2018. The lead inspector will be Janet Satchwell. We are writing to you because we would like to know what you think about the school.
Your views about the school are important to us If you are a registered parent or carer of a pupil at the school (including pupils on sick leave or who are temporarily excluded), you can tell us your views about the school by completing Ofsted's online survey, Parent View, at: www.parentview.ofsted.gov.uk.
Parent View asks for your opinion on 12 aspects of your child's school, including the progress made by your child, the quality of teaching, how the school deals with bullying and poor behaviour. It also provides a free-text box for you to make additional comments, if you wish. The inspectors will use the online survey responses when inspecting your child's school.
Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete the online survey.

Six children from KS1 and eight children from KS2, took part in the Catholic Cluster Cross Country Competition at Woodgate Valley.
Nathan Luther came 1st in the KS1 boys race, Aine McNamara took 1st place in the KS2 girls and Oliver Cook was 1st in the KS2 boys race. All of the children ran a wonderful race as the conditions were challenging.
Now here's a way to kick off 2018......Below is a suggested list of 100 books to read (for the age categories: KS1, Y3-4 and Y5-6). I wonder how many you have already read? Why don't you make it your challenge to complete the list by the end of the year? These are great ideas for presents but many are also available in our school library.
