Opened in 1887, Fairfields Primary is the oldest school in Basingstoke, Hampshire. Parents, grandparents and great grandparents all have fond memories of their time at our school.
Everything that we do is based on our four Core Values; Love, Respect, Honesty and Celebration. Our aim is develop resilient and confident children who are highly skilled and able to adapt to an ever changing landscape. These are also outlined below. For that reason, we have written a unique curriculum based on real experiences and high quality literature.
The pupils at our school play a huge part in school improvement. Our School Council consists of pupils in every year group who are voted in by their peers and who help to shape the direction of the school. Please see our School Council page with updates of their latest priorities.
Finally, we work closely with parents who have taken the decision to invest in our school by enrolling their children. We believe that parents are the most crucial element of providing an effective team around a child and we therefore expect them to be involved in school life, at every level.
To prepare the children of today to thrive and meet the challenges of tomorrow, by developing independence and resilience through a forward thinking and evolving curriculum, proudly reflecting our diverse community, inspiring and celebrating all achievements.
We are a vibrant, diverse and inclusive community, fostering a culture of learning and resilience, through a creative and pupil-centered curriculum where children are encouraged to take risks and learn from their mistakes, all within a supportive environment.
Each year we develop an action plan to improve areas identified from a range of information including performance data. Please click here to learn about our school development plan for this year and the review of last year.
Well done to all the children for all their hard work in showing the school core values and collecting house points this half term. Once again, we had two opportunities for pupils to earn tokens for showing either fantastic walking, or for showing love and kindness. The winning house is Griffins who have recieved an extra 1000 points! The scores are as follows:
Dragons 7002
Unicorns 6465
Phoenixes 7637
Griffins 9488
Well done Griffins who get a non uniform day tomorrow (Tuesday) for their team.
Well done again to everyone and have a fantastic holiday!
Just a reminder that we have our book swap after school today on the playground. Please do encourage your child to come and get a new book for free to take home and keep from the books we have had donated. Thank you to everyone who has made donations! We will also have some uniform on the playground to take if you can make use of it, and we will have our lost property out too for you to check though. We will have to dispose of all our lost property at the end of the term so please do come and look if you are missing anything.
Dear Year 6 Parents,
Please arrive at 5pm tomorrow and you will be signed in at the front gate. Parents will be able to take their seats under the canopy area and pupils will need to go to the FS classrooms to collect their costumes. Please have pupils wear a white T-shirt and black shorts, or leggins when they arrive and black trainers or shoes they can dance in. The variety show will begin at 5:30pm and it will be followed by a graduation ceremony. Parents may take a photograph of their own child but please do not share the photos on social media. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow evening!
