Eco-friendly School

Fairfield is committed to being an Eco-friendly school. As part of our values and ethos, we show compassion by looking after our beautiful school grounds. As part of Learning Outside the Classroom, our children are taught the importance of caring for our world. We tackle the issues of litter, water, school grounds, healthy living, biodiversity and also looking at the world around us.

We look after our environment by monitoring the wildlife, and making sure that our school grounds are safe for the animals. Take a look at our wildlife cameras to see what lives on our school grounds...

Play Leaders

Our Play Leaders are here to help the children around school to play effectively together at break and lunch times. Their roles are to set challenges for the children to take part in, and teach the children in KS1 how to play different games and work collaboratively, also acting as 'buddies' for children looking for their friends to play with. Our Play Leaders are Play Leader trained, and are recognisable on the playground by their Play Leader badges and coats.
