About St John Fisher Catholic Primary School

St John Fisher Catholic Primary School in Epping Forest has been rated Good by Ofsted following its most recent graded inspection in September 2018, a clear step up from the Requires improvement rating it received in 2016. The school’s leadership and management, as well as its early years provision, were both judged Good in that inspection. When it comes to academic outcomes at Key Stage 2, the most telling metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined: 48 per cent. That figure sits below the Essex local authority average of 62 per cent, and it places the school 25th out of 30 primary schools in Epping Forest, putting it in the bottom half of the local rankings. Nationally, St John Fisher ranks in the 82nd percentile, meaning roughly 18 per cent of primary schools across England scored lower on this combined measure.
