Principles
We seek to provide a friendly, caring environment for all our children to reach their potential through high quality teaching and learning that supports the development of life-long learning skills, self-esteem and celebrates individual success. The school is committed to the philosophy of equal access to educational opportunities through the National Curriculum and to the provision of suitably differentiated programs of study to meet individual needs. The teaching and learning styles reflect the ethos expected by the Governors and staff in promoting a calm and co-operative atmosphere for work. Codes of conduct and expectations of positive behavior are based upon the principles outlined in the School Behavior Policy, which was developed with all members of the school community (including Governors and parents). It promotes mutual respect and consideration of everyone. We therefore have high and consistent expectations of all who belong to, or are connected with the school.
Staff and Governors work in partnership with parents and other professional agencies. The school philosophy is founded upon an appropriately challenging and stimulating curriculum where students realise their potential and achieve to the best of their ability. At Fairmead School student attainment is achieved through individual programs of study that are enhanced by extra-curricular activities. Fairmead School seeks to create a happy and supporting environment for all students and staff that encourage everyone ‘to be the best we can be.
