Our mission is to Achieve Excellence in everything we do, which is consistent with our motto.
This is strongly related to our ethos, which is reflected in the objectives and core principles of our curriculum.
A personalised Fairfield Curriculum is available.
It is based on our belief that every student should enjoy studying, develop into a positive member of society both at home and abroad, and graduate from our programmes with the skills they require. It is tailored to meet the particular needs of each student.
Our Fairfield Values (see below) serve as the cornerstone of school life and help students develop the skills they need for a prosperous, healthy future.
After three years of our iLearn curriculum, every young person graduates from Fairfield with a GCSE in Citizenship; the impact of this is visible in every facet of school life.
The school provides a range of local, national, and international field trips in addition to extracurricular opportunities for students to broaden their knowledge and understanding and develop their skills in a variety of artistic, creative, and sporting endeavours. These trips are designed to support and complement the curriculum.
In order to better understand the options available, we continue to hear from students and parents, and we make every effort to comply with their wishes.
Students will have had the chance to explicitly experience the most of the fields above at Key Stage Three, allowing them to make educated decisions when it comes to options time at the GCSE.

The Fairfield curriculum is personalised, built around students' individual needs and designed to promote a love of learning and the best possible springboard for students' next steps in education training or employment.
We are committed to developing a strong, harmonious community: the British values of democracy, individual liberty, the rule of law and mutual respect and tolerance are themes which underpin our curriculum.
Our students all leave Fairfield with a GCSE in Citizenship, alongside their other qualifications.
