Admissions
If you have arrived here, you are almost certainly in the process of making an important decision about an education which will help to shape your child’s future.
We hope you have found this website a good introduction to Fairfield life, but we wholeheartedly recommend you attend one of our Open Events or make an appointment to visit on a school day for a Private Tour. Together these will give you a real sense of the character and spirit of Fairfield Prep School and it is also an opportunity to meet our wonderful staff and pupils, see our facilities and appreciate how Fairfield benefits from being part of the family of schools which form the Loughborough Schools Foundation.
We are a selective entry school and once you have visited and feel confident that this could be the School where your child will thrive, the next step would be to apply for a place and for your child to attend an Entrance Assessment.
“The excellent behaviour of all pupils and their full engagement in school life allows them to learn in an environment of shared endeavour.”

Within a week of your child sitting their Entrance Assessment., we will call you to give you our decision and whether an offer will be made. A decision letter is sent out shortly after.
We request that acceptance of offers are made by the date specified in the offer letter.
Information on cancellations, deposits and further details on the admission process can be found in our admissions policy.
In June we hold a New Parents’ Evening to welcome all new parents with children starting in September to the Fairfield Family.
We also run a “Moving On” afternoon during the summer term so your child can come in to meet their class teacher and classmates ahead of their start in September. These along with your parent’s handbook, which gets sent to you, should provide you with all the necessary information for your child’s new start.
