All pupils need to feel safe, accepted and valued in order to learn effectively and become successful members of society. At Fairstead House School we aim to provide a curriculum that is appropriate to the varying needs and abilities of all our children.
We plan our teaching and learning in such a way that each child is able to reach his or her highest level of personal achievement, by enriching their learning in and outside the classroom and monitoring their potential for excellence.Some children may need a personalised level of support because of a particular aptitude, specific learning difficulty (such as dyslexia) or because there first language at home is a language other than English.

One of our most important responsibilities is helping you to find the right school for your child to continue their education. We hold Future Schools Information Evenings and you will have discussions with both your child's teacher and the Head. We will guide you through the different admissions processes for individual Independent schools.
Do you have learning support? Yes. We have a dedicated Learning Support Co-ordinator who leads a team of Learning Support Assistants. They provide extra, individually tailored support to any child who needs further challenges or additional assistance. What after school clubs and activities are there?
