Aims and Ethos

Our aim at Fairfield, as stated in the School’s Prospectus, is to offer a broad and balanced education appropriate to the needs of the children in our care.  The school combines traditional and family values within an enlightened and ever changing curriculum, taught in modern, up-to-date facilities.  We strive for academic excellence within the classroom with individual care and focus, as well as offering a whole host of activities outside the classroom, such as Drama, Sport and Music.

To that end we aim to offer

-           excellent academic, sporting and musical opportunities
-           effective, sensitive and well coordinated Pastoral Care
-           academic achievement with individual care and focus
-           the provision of an excellent holistic foundation on which to build future learning.

At the end of their time at Fairfield we hope that children will have enjoyed a high quality, stimulating and varied education which will enable them to gain offers to their first choice school at 11+.
           
Fairfield Preparatory School is an educational community.  We teach not only by what we say, but by what we are and what we do.  The quality and integrity of relationships that exist between staff and staff, and staff and pupils, are vital.

Every member of staff is uniquely important, and if the staff are able to do their job to the best of their ability, Fairfield will be able to realise its vision of excellence.
