"We believe our school is a special place and hope everyone here enjoys their time with us. We hope that you and your family find Fairfield to be a welcoming and friendly environment and one in which your child will feel safe, secure and valued. We believe that children learn best when staff and parents work together in close partnership and so we value your involvement with your child's education."
Richard Ware, Headteacher
