Transitioning to Senior School


Three schools, one community

Fairfield provides far more than just an exceptional educational experience; it fosters an environment of continuity and growth. Pupils benefit from a smooth and nurturing transition into their senior education, ensuring that they feel both supported and confident as they embark on this important phase of their academic journey. Those students who join us prior to Year 6 and meet our rigorous entry standards are assured a place at either Loughborough Grammar or Loughborough High, institutions renowned for their academic excellence. 

Our meticulously crafted Senior Transition programme is designed with the specific intent of nurturing independence and maturity in our pupils. This initiative equips them with the essential skills and mindset necessary to thrive in the forthcoming stages of their education. The familiarity of the Foundation’s ethos, community spirit, and state-of-the-art facilities empowers our children to continue their educational journey with a sense of assurance, autonomy, and proactive readiness for the future both as learners and as individuals. 

At Fairfield, we are committed to supporting our pupils not only during the transition to Year 7 but also in their development as lifelong learners imbued with purpose, curiosity, and character. We understand that the educational landscape is ever-evolving, and we strive to instil a sense of resilience and adaptability in our students, preparing them to face future challenges with confidence and enthusiasm.  

Choose Fairfield, where your child’s educational journey is not just a path to academic success but a ‘Foundation’ for a fulfilling life ahead.
