Summer School 2023
Summer School 2022
Summer School has been a great opportunity for students to bond and form friendships. We provide a variety of meaningful activities for students to engage with, proven to be a really positive foundation for the start of their academic journey with us.
Summer School is a great opportunity for students to interact with others that are taking the same big step as they move to secondary school.
Fairfield Summer School is a brilliant opportunity for our incoming Year 7 students to get to know Fairfield: the site, the staff, our ethos and – best of all – their new classmates! Students participate in workshops, games and activities designed to prepare them for success at secondary school. The end of day smiles are proof it’s a win-win option for a smoother transition.
My daughter has really enjoyed her time with you, made lots of new friends and really enjoyed the activities that you’ve planned. Many thanks for organising what I think will have provided her with much confidence before officially starting in September.
I met loads of people and friends! It was so fun and I’m really glad I went! I am really excited about going to Fairfield in September. The food was amazing too!
I liked how there was lots of exercise available and you got to know the school and some Year 7s a bit better and the amount of different activities you could do. I also enjoyed having the performance at the end of the week.
Can I just say that the summer school has been fantastic – thank you to you and your staff for arranging it.
All the dancing. All the boxing. All the art. I also liked the food, it was spot on!! I also made some friends.
