Vision and Values

Our school motto Happy. Proud. Successful. is displayed on all of our literature. The children changed the motto in 2016 using the three most appropriate words which best reflected their time here at Fairfield. It was also felt that it applied to the whole of our school community, including parents and staff.

Our Christian Vision is a great discussion point for both learning and social times. You’ll see them displayed on the hall wall and in classrooms. It is how we want to live our lives and it applies to children, staff, parents and families.

To live “life in all its fullness” through:

building knowledge and wisdom;

showing respect and treating everyone with dignity;

giving hope and raising aspirations;

encouraging a sense of community

to allow us to live well together as global citizens.

Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken. (Ecclesiastes 4:12)

What’s behind the words?

Knowledge – Making sure ALL children within our school community have access to high quality learning so that they can make progress and achieve.

Wisdom – Using our knowledge to make positive and life enhancing decisions to live life in all its fullness.

Respect – Learning about and acceptance of all different faiths, beliefs, opinions and cultures.

Dignity – Ensuring that the opinions and concerns of everyone with a stake in the school are valued and taken seriously.

Hope and aspirations – To dream and wish for the best future with the confident expectation that with God’s help it will happen.

Community – We are proud to serve our local community and, through our work with St Peter’s and other agencies, to support our children and families in all aspects of their lives

Living as global citizens – Our children are encouraged to have an understanding of life across the globe and to courageously advocate for those less fortunate.
