Our aims


Their future, our focus

At Fairfield Prep School, we believe every child has the potential to flourish. We are passionately committed to giving them the very best start in life: academically, socially and emotionally.

Fairfield is a school where children are seen, known and celebrated. Where family values meet educational ambition. Where each child is encouraged to be curious, confident and kind – to take risks, to explore widely, and to grow into the very best version of themselves.

Our nurturing and aspirational approach combines academic rigour with an outstanding co-curricular programme that embraces sport, the arts, languages, outdoor learning and leadership. Purpose-built facilities, expert staff and small class sizes provide the setting for a rich and rounded education – one that inspires a lifelong love of learning.

But Fairfield is more than a school in its own right. As part of the Loughborough Schools Foundation – Three Schools; One Community – we offer a seamless and inspiring educational journey from Pre-School through to Sixth Form. Our pupils build confidence and preparedness for senior school life, through the unique range of opportunities and experiences this provides.

From the first day at Fairfield, we work in close partnership with parents and our wider community to help every child develop the habits, knowledge and values that will allow them to thrive. We aim to develop decent young people – grounded, responsible citizens who are ready to make a positive difference.

Fairfield is a place where children are able to be themselves – and become their best selves.

Our aim is to develop pupils who love learning, demonstrate positive learning behaviours, fulfil their academic potential and grow into grounded responsible citizens ready for the future.
