Fairfax

At Fairfax Sixth Form, we strive to meet our Academy motto:” Sinceritas Laboris: there is dignity in hard work”, in every aspect of Academy life and in the life beyond.

Fairfax is a friendly learning community set in well maintained, extensive grounds on the edge of Sutton Coldfield. We actively encourage our students to fulfil their potential both academically and socially to maximize their opportunities in their adult lives.

All our students have access to a broad Level 3 curriculum, which is delivered by experienced specialist teaching staff and is part of our Personal Learning and Development Programme. The curriculum at Fairfax is designed to provide opportunities for all students and equip them for the next stages of their career, education or training.

Fairfax prides itself on its fantastic House system which was established upon its opening in 1959. This house system is at the heart of the Academy and the traditional values provide students with the opportunity to develop leadership skills, loyalty, responsibility as well as healthy competition in many aspects of Fairfax life.

All students are offered the opportunity to take part in many different sporting and extra-curricular activities which also helps to promote House spirit amongst the Fairfax community
