About Fairmead School

FAIRMEAD SCHOOL

Fairmead School is situated on the North Eastern outskirts of Yeovil, in the County of Somerset. It has a very wide catchment area taking in students from across South Somerset and into parts of Dorset. The school, which currently has 140+ students on role, caters for students with MLD and ASD, aged between four and sixteen years.

At Fairmead we seek to provide a friendly, caring environment for all our students to reach their potential through high quality teaching and learning that supports the development of life-long learning skills, self-esteem and which celebrates individual success. The school is committed to the philosophy of equal access to educational opportunities through an adapted National Curriculum that focuses on acquiring the most important knowledge and skills for life beyond Fairmead. The teaching and learning styles reflect the ethos expected by the Governors and staff in promoting a calm and co-operative atmosphere for work.

As a staff team and as a school community our core responsibility is to prepare all young people for aspirational, successful and independent futures. It is upon this solid foundation that we have constructed a curriculum that enables young people to take responsibility, show empathy and respect, develop confidence, and empowers them to realise a strong vision for their own futures. Fairmead School seeks to create a happy and supporting environment for all students and staff that encourages everyone to recognise and strive to achieve their full potential.

As a community, we promote mutual respect and consideration of everyone and therefore have high and consistent expectations of all who belong to, or are connected with the school. We celebrate difference and encourage young people to explore and embrace their own identity as they prepare for their future adult lives within a diverse community.

Commitment to safeguarding

We recognise our moral and statutory responsibility to safeguard and promote the welfare of all learners. We endeavour to provide a safe and welcoming environment where children and young people are respected and valued. We are alert to the signs of abuse and neglect and follow our procedures to ensure that children and young people receive effective support, protection and justice.

All job applications must contain the disclosure of any spent convictions and cautions. The school will carry out pre-employment vetting procedures, which include an online search for shortlisted candidates and the successful outcome of an enhanced DBS
