- **5/5** — A wonderful school community: I've been truly impressed with the way St John Fisher Catholic Academy has supported my child's academic and personal growth. The facilities are excellent and the staff are always approachable and welcoming. My child has thrived in this friendly and inclusive environment. *(Sep 2022)*
- **4/5** — Mixed feelings about the school: My child has only recently joined the school, and while the teachers seem okay, I'm not entirely convinced about the extracurricular activities. However, the school's emphasis on Catholic values and community service is something I do appreciate. Hopefully, things will improve as the year goes on. *(Jan 2022)*
- **5/5** — Nurturing ambition, confidence and success: My daughter attended this school for 5 years and it was an outstanding experience for her. The sixth form team are excellent and really helped her choose the right A-levels. I'm so proud of the person she's become and I attribute that to the values instilled in her by the teachers and staff. *(Jun 2021)*
