About

We are immensely proud that at a full inspection by Ofsted, Fairfield High School has been recognised as an Outstanding school in all areas for the fourth consecutive time, meaning that it has maintained its Outstanding status over a period of 18 years.

That single word judgement cannot reflect the exceptional work that goes on throughout our school, and I would encourage you to read the Report in its entirety to really comprehend exactly what the school delivers.

In the school’s own words, from the school website.

Governing body (11 current, 4 former)

iAcademy trust: local governing body and trust board.

8 governors are linked to a profile (7 confirmed, 1 (likely)).

Governors marked “Confirmed same person” have exactly the same forename and surname as the only officer of that name at the school’s own academy trust company on the Companies House register, so we treat them as the same person. The governance record itself comes from DfE.
