Teaching & Learning

At St. John Fisher Catholic High School, teaching and learning in our classrooms are dynamic and student-centered, fostering a vibrant and engaging educational environment. Our dedicated teachers employ a variety of innovative instructional strategies to cater to diverse learning styles and needs. Emphasis is placed on critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration, ensuring that every student actively participates in their learning journey.

 

Through a blend of traditional and modern teaching techniques, including the use of technology and interactive activities, we strive to make lessons both challenging and enjoyable. Our classrooms are inclusive spaces where respect, support, and high expectations are paramount, empowering students to achieve academic excellence and personal growth.

Quality First Teaching and achieving Academic Excellence are key priorities at St. John Fisher Catholic High School. Staff and students are expected to excel in their work and in their contributions towards building a successful learning community. Our teachers have high expectations of all learners, with a real strength of our school being the positive relationships that are established, allowing effective learning to take place in every classroom. Teaching staff plan engaging and appropriately differentiated lessons, which build upon students’ prior knowledge and are sequenced to enable our students to know more, remember more and do more as they progress throughout their learning journey.

Our extensive Teaching & Learning video series highlights some of the great work being done across school, building upon evidence-based research, including Rosenshine's Principles of Instruction.
