Education & childcare

The Fairways Schools were built in 1952 and 1953 and Fairways Primary School was formed in September 1985, when the Infant and Junior schools merged. There are currently 432 pupils on roll and the school has a two-form entry, with most classes containing 30 children. The Speech and Language Resource Base is an integral part of the school, children who attend the Speech and Language Resource Base are included in all aspects of school life, with some fully included in mainstream classes.

Set in extensive attractive grounds, the school buildings are spacious and well maintained. There are two halls, group work areas, individual classrooms, a superbly resourced library and a computer suite.

There are large playgrounds and a wide range of seasonal sports facilities including athletics track, hockey pitch, rounders squares and football pitches. A pond in the grounds is used to support the teaching of several curriculum areas.
