Head’s Welcome

I am delighted to welcome you to our school website so that we can give you an insight into life at Fairstead Community Primary and Nursery School.

At Fairstead Community Primary and Nursery School, we nurture and invest in our relationships. We identify each individual’s potential and work as a team to create a safe environment for everyone to grow and succeed.

Through our core values we encourage our children to be:

• Responsible
• Learners
• Respectful
• Safe

We are a community school that prides itself in working together in order to provide a school experience so that every child:

• Can access a curriculum model whose intent and implementation challenges children ensuring that learning leads to a change in long term memory.
• Has a teacher who is an expert on learning
• Has adults who rigorously plan for all children to access the curriculum becoming intrinsically motivated to take control of their own learning.
• Grows healthy and strong, believes in themselves and has the confidence and resilience to be aspirational in achieving their goals.
• Is exposed to cultural experiences and background knowledge so as to enable the community around us to improve, making a positive difference in the world.

There are many ways in which we develop children’s self-esteem and confidence so that they leave school at the end of each day excited and enthused to come back the next day.

Please look through our website where you can hear from dedicated members of our team about the ways in which we approach teaching and learning – I hope it provides you with an insight into what makes our setting unique. If you have any questions or would like to visit school, please contact our office and they will be happy to arrange an appointment.
