Overview

About Fairfield Prep School

At Fairfield, we believe childhood should be cherished – full of curiosity, challenge and joy. Our school offers a vibrant, nurturing community where every child is encouraged to explore their potential, discover new interests and grow in confidence. As part of the Loughborough Schools Foundation, Fairfield benefits from outstanding facilities, a rich curriculum and a seamless pathway to senior education. But it is our warm, family atmosphere that truly sets us apart. Children thrive here; academically, socially and personally. We know how important it is to find the right environment for your child to learn and grow. In the words of the Good Schools Guide, Fairfield is: “a school that proves the secret to success can be to encourage the right attitude towards learning, rather than having all the answers right away.”

Our take

Independent co-ed prep school for ages 3–11.

Best for
  • Families looking for a prep school covering ages 3–11.

Watch-outs
  • Fees aren't published. Treat published external fee comparisons with caution and ask admissions directly before shortlisting.

  • Location detail is sparse in our profile — verify postcode and tube/rail link before counting on commute time.
