The John Fisher School is a Roman Catholic voluntary-aided boys' faith school in the rural outskirts of Croydon, England based at Peaks Hill, Surrey. The school educates boys from across London and South-East England. It has been a "non-selective school" since 1999, but has since only accepted the most religiously observant boys with a points-system.
The school has grown since the end of its selection policy from 700 pupils to over 1000. In May 2012, it launched its new website, www.johnfisherschool.org. The majority of graduates go on to Russell Group and other notable universities. The school occupies the former site of the 19th century Falconbury School.
