Welcome to

St. John Fisher School

We are the only secondary school in Medway offering a genuinely comprehensive, faith-based education. We are proud to teach both genders, and pupils of all abilities, from those with significant special educational needs to students who will leave our sixth form to go on to Oxbridge universities.

We are a community dedicated to excellence in learning. We have subject specialist teachers across all subjects of our wide-ranging curriculum. Our highly qualified staff work with parents and carers to ensure that students succeed; many staff have stayed with us for years.
