Fielding Primary School

Our school is a fantastic place to learn, achieve and thrive. With excellent teaching and an engaging curriculum we are committed to help every child excel and reach their potential academically, while our Values-based education philosophy helps Fielding's pupils develop a moral and ethical compass for life enabling them to grow up to be the best person that they can possibly be.

Joining our school

Starting school in Nursery or Reception for the first time is a milestone in a child's life. Other children join us from local schools, by moving into our area from other parts of the UK or abroad. Everyone is welcome:

All about us

We are proud of our spacious site with its modern facilities, superb resources and happy, purposeful atmosphere. Outside, our large field enables children to take part in a wide range of sports and play with friends. Excellence in PE, sports, music and French are particular strengths of the school. Pupils enjoy gardening and growing our own produce in our 'Kitchen Garden', including caring for our tame hens
For working parents, a breakfast club, after-school and holiday childcare service is operated by the school on-site.
Our Values-based philosophy underpins the way that we work, instilling our children with core values, including honesty, co-operation, tolerance, love, respect, determination and happiness. This combined with our wonderful facilities and safe, nurturing environment, enables our children to enjoy their learning, achieve excellent results and develop the confidence to succeed.

We welcome all children – no matter what their individual needs – and strive to include them with additional support in all areas of the curriculum. We aim for every child to make progress whatever their starting point or background.

Children feel proud to be part of Fielding. All children wear our school uniform, consisting of a white or blue shirt, blouse or polo shirt; grey trousers, skirt or pinafore; blue jumper, cardigan or sweatshirt with logo (available from school); blue and white summer dress; plain black shoes.

Hot meals are prepared and cooked daily on site by Harrisons’ Catering Services, including freshly baked bread and a salad bar. A vegetarian option is always available. Meals can be taken on a day-by-day basis with payment being made in advance.

All children are encouraged to walk, scooter or cycle to school. Cycle shelters and scooter parks are provided on site.
