Thank you for taking an interest in this exciting role.
It is my pleasure to introduce you to St John Fisher, an 11-18 voluntary aided Academy with approximately 1000 students on roll.
We seek to appoint an Educational Teaching Assistant to join our wonderful school.
St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy has entered a new era of success, growth and pride.
Our students are some of the most inspirational young people you will ever meet. They are polite, friendly, kind and caring. They are supportive of one another and the school. Our staff are the same; dedicated professionals, committed to improving the outcomes and life chances of young people. Many of our teachers are ex-pupils of the school. There is a special feel about this traditional yet forward-looking Catholic school, simply put, it’s a wonderful place to work.
We were inspected by Ofsted at the end of March 2025, and the report reflects how much we have improved in the last 2 years. It’s a different school and you need to see it for yourself. Our current results are a legacy of the school’s recent history of declining standards, but we are committed to our students and our community to create a high performing school.
Therefore, we need the best support for our students. As our students’ numbers continue to grow, we seek to appoint the best people to support our continued improvement
We can offer you a wonderful student body, a thriving sixth form, a friendly and supportive senior team and a school overseen by a highly experienced and dedicated governing body who work closely with the school to ensure its continued success.
Your professional development is important to us, and our recent transformation has been made possible by the creation of a staff and student team who are committed to the school’s future. Every member of our community is valued and as we continue to move forward, we will continue to invest in all practice which will improve the daily experience of our children. A bespoke programme of professional development, led by highly experienced senior leaders, focusing on bringing out the best from staff, is an entitlement for all teachers and support staff.
If you’d like to be part of our next success, I recommend a conversation with me or a tour of the school, either during the school day or after work. Please get in touch and we will accommodate your request so you can see for yourself what a wonderful place St John Fisher Catholic Voluntary Academy is.
If you would like an informal conversation about this opportunity and / or to arrange a visit, please contact Kayleigh Oakes at k-oakes@stjohnfisher.org.uk.
