The John Fisher School is a Roman Catholic voluntary-aided boys' faith school based at Peaks Hill, Purley, Croydon, Surrey. The school educates boys from across London and South East England. In spite of its Croydon postcode and location, the school is funded by the London Borough of Sutton. The school has operated selective admissions policies twice in its history, from when it was founded in 1929 until 1977, and more recently from 1991-1999. The school has grown since the end of its 1990's selection policy from 700 pupils to over 1000. In May 2012, it launched its new website, www.johnfisherschool.org. The school occupies the former site of the 19th century Falconbury School.〔(School History )〕 ==Admissions at 11+== Boys are admitted to the school at the ages of 11 or 16. Entry at 11+ is currently non-selective (since September 1999) but is based on supplementary information concerning the boy's religious observance, date of baptism et al., candidates are then ranked and approximately 160 boys are admitted in Year 7. The decision to admit a boy is made by the board of governors. John Fisher was a small highly selective school from 1991 until September 1999. During the school's 1990s selection policy (when there was no consideration for boys living closest to the school whatsoever) it was taking boys from 20–30 miles away, but, due to its highly selective nature and high academic attainment, it was seen by many parents as an alternative to independent schools. Prior to September 1999, candidates were selected for entry.〔(''Catholic Herald'' article referencing The John Fisher School )〕 The assessment consisted of a candidate and parent interview, a religion test, a written statement by the boy stating why he would like to attend the school and a report from the boy's current school. A smaller number of boys were selected for academic, musical and sports aptitude, in conjunction with an interview. All exhibitions and scholarships were disbanded in 1999.〔http://archive.catholicherald.co.uk/article/26th-july-1991/5/minister-who-knows-his-own-words〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The John Fisher School」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
