School Stories Award Winners


Showcasing the vibrant life of our school

We’re delighted to share that Fairfield Prep School has recently been awarded ‘Best English Story’ in the Interactive Schools School Stories Awards 2026. The category highlights how language, storytelling, and literary exploration have inspired our pupils.

They used their English language skills to write their answers before presenting their written pieces to the class and used freedom of expression to communicate a range of important ideas about kindness and respect.

Discover the winning story in the video below.
