Welcome to Fairfield School

Hello and welcome to Fairfield School. My name is Clare Blackburn and it’s my privilege to be the headteacher of this wonderful school.

Fairfield is a school for pupils aged 3-19 with a wide range of complex needs. We actively embrace and celebrate each pupil’s uniqueness, recognising and building on their strengths and abilities throughout their school journey.

Our highly skilled staff support pupils to access an exciting curriculum incorporating diverse, enriching learning experiences. Pupils’ learning and support is personalised to enable them to meet their potential in a stimulating environment with excellent facilities both indoors and outdoors.

We strongly value working in partnership with families and understand that this is the best way to help pupils make progress towards their goals and aspirations.

Working together with our governing body, a range of professionals and other schools, we strive to constantly improve and find new ways to give our pupils the best education.

I hope you find the information you need about our school. If you need anything further, please feel free to contact us.

At Fairfield we aim to personalise our offer as much as possible to meet the individual needs of our children and young people. Within class, teachers plan for each child and young person finding unique ways to unlock their potential. We have a wide range of provision within the curriculum which enrich our offer and give greater opportunity to meet additional and personal needs. To support this, we use the expertise of a wide range of outside agencies and partnerships. They work with our young people but also train and support our staff in developing a greater skill base. As a result, our curriculum has the flexibility required to meet need whilst being relevant, creative, imaginative and stimulating
