One parent told us: “The pastoral and SEND support has been exceptional. Staff are approachable, responsive and genuinely care about students’ wellbeing.”

Why do so many families choose an all-girls school?

Girls’ schools are places full of possibility. Girls are encouraged to speak up, take the lead and follow their interests without feeling limited by stereotypes.

Research suggests that girls educated in single-sex schools are more likely to contribute to classroom discussions, take on leadership roles and choose subjects traditionally affected by gender stereotypes.

At Fairfield, every subject, every opportunity and every leadership role is for girls. There are no limits on what they can aim for.

Come and find out more at our Open Evening on Thursday 1st October from 6–8pm.
