Thomas Fairchild Community School

Thomas Fairchild Community School, part of New Wave Federation, proudly serves the local community by providing an excellent educational experience for all its pupils.

We aim to build strong foundations for all our pupils by developing a first class Early Years Provision in which communication and language is at the heart of our strong, vibrant curriculum. Our focus will be on igniting curiosity and imagination, essential to aiding the development of pupils' personal, mathematical, artistic, creative and scientific skills.

As pupils move through the school our aim is to ensure that key skills in literacy and mathematics are built upon and enhanced to help them achieve the highest possible academic standards. Children will become fluent and confident readers and writers, able to make connections between texts, their lives and the wider world. They will also become proficient mathematicians with a wide understanding of concepts and accomplished problem solving skills

Our wider curriculum will enable pupils to express themselves as knowledgeable, highly organised, creative, independent and multi-skilled learners. Our curriculum reflects the wide and diverse community, offering enriching learning experiences and assisting all our pupils to achieve their full potential.

The community at Thomas Fairchild is one of its great strengths and we value it hugely. The support we have had from parents is overwhelmingly positive and we appreciate the honest and open dialogue. Our children's future is at the heart of everything we do and every decision we make. We at Thomas Fairchild look forward to working with you to make our children's years at school happy, academically rewarding and fulfilling.

Our Vision
At the heart of Thomas Fairchild Community School is the desire to see all children excel. Every child, regardless of their background, has the right to the best educational provision and support to achieve and succeed.

We are determined to overcome barriers of discrimination and disadvantage where they impact on success and life chances. We want all our children to be successful, strive for the highest standards, and to recognise the importance of kindness and respect for others.

We want to help children shine in our schools, to be great learners, and to have a positive attitude towards school life. We will endeavour to reflect the schools diversity and build recognition of differences in the spirit of tolerance and cooperation.

In our vision, we commit to promoting equality, freedom and fairness, whilst challenging any social, sexual or racial discrimination with a zero-tolerance approach.
