About St John Fisher RC Primary School

If you’re a parent weighing up St John Fisher RC Primary School, the first thing you’ll notice is that it’s a school families tend to stick with. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, the school was confirmed to remain Good, a rating it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. While the data doesn’t include a specific parent-view recommendation percentage, the fact that the school is oversubscribed—its capacity of 446 places is clearly in demand—suggests local families are keen to get in. The school is a Roman Catholic state primary in Merton, taking children from age 3 through to 11, with nursery provision on site. That nursery offer is a practical plus for working parents, giving a seamless start to school life. The headteacher, Janine Kenna, leads a mixed-gender school that feels rooted in its community, with a chapel on site and a religious character that will particularly suit Catholic families looking for faith-based education from the early years onward.
