  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.

  Mon 26 Mar 2018

  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.

  Fri 09 Feb 2018

  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.
