"This is an outstanding school. At its last inspection, it was outstanding in all main categories. Since then it has significantly improved..."
12 June 2009
Dear Pupils
Inspection of Fairfield High School, Peterchurch HR2 0SG
Thank you very much for the way that you welcomed me on my visit to your school.
It was very interesting to see you at work and to have the opportunity to talk to so
many of you. It gave me some of the most important information that I needed and
I am very grateful.
You attend an outstanding school, but I am sure that you know that already. Those
of you who I asked how it might be improved were at a loss for a reply and I
understand why. The curriculum opportunities you enjoy are outstanding and truly
remarkable in the context of your small school. You have a precious and almost
unique environment in which to learn. You are very well taught. Outstanding
teaching means that teachers really believe in your ability to succeed. This inspires
you, and you do not disappoint them. You make remarkable progress, reaching
standards that are well ahead of pupils nationally. The quality of care and guidance
you receive is outstanding. Consequently, you are developing into very mature,
thoughtful and responsible adults. It is very evident that you enjoy school, grow
healthily, work very safely showing responsible initiative and that your behaviour is
of a very high standard. What is very impressive is the way that you help each other
so much, working together and helping to make life at school so satisfying. Your
preparation for the next stage of your studies and careers is also outstanding. Your
own and the school’s success is due in large measure to the outstanding,
inspirational leadership of the headteacher and his staff. They really have identified
what is needed for you all to do so very well. Governors too have kept the school
firmly ‘on track’ and have worked hard to provide the extended grounds and new
facilities where you learn.
To help you be better prepared for your careers after leaving Fairfield, I have asked
the school to try to give you more insight into the world of the big cities where many
of you are likely to work in your future lives.
Please continue to play your part in making Fairfield School such a happy, supportive
and inspiring place to learn.
Yours faithfully
Doug Masterton
Lead inspector
