The John Fisher School

The John Fisher Association (JFA) is comprised of every parent/carer and member of staff at The John Fisher School who have automatic membership. Ex-members are also welcome to help! The JFA is a registered charity, and undertakes activities which contribute financially and socially to the school.

We are all aware of the ever-increasing squeeze on school budgets. Without the fundraising efforts of the JFA, the school would struggle to maintain its resources and activities.

In 2020 the JFA helped fund the development of the school website, supported subject leaders with new resources for students to use, provided ongoing funds to help maintain the school minibuses and raised £20,000 through a 'Funding Fisher's Future' initiative to provide I.T. hardware for disadvantaged students during the COVID-19 pandemic.

 In 2023 the school sports hall benefitted from crowdfunding support to upgrade its facilities and the community celebrated with a grand opening ceremony with alumni visits from stars including Alex Dombrandt.

Current fundraising initiatives are to improve the Music and Arts provision at The John Fisher school so that all children can access the arts.

The JFA needs your support and involvement!

There are many ways to help:

Without a committee to discuss activities, plan and organise events and co-ordinate our volunteers the JFA wouldn’t exist. We are always recruiting - all JFA members are invited to join. If you have an idea for ways to raise funds we’d love to hear from you! We all have busy lives but pooling your help and skills with the JFA is a great way to really benefit our school and take an active part in our community. If you are able to volunteer your time and/or services we would be most grateful. Please email us if you can support in any way.
