A school where girls thrive
For more than 230 years, Fairfield has been inspiring young women to aim high, achieve their potential and make a positive difference.

Today, we are a vibrant and inclusive school where every pupil is encouraged to become a successful learner, a confident individual and a responsible citizen. In our supportive all-girls environment, pupils are empowered to find their voice, embrace new challenges and grow into confident young women who are ready for their next steps.

As part of Stamford Park Trust, we combine our proud history with a forward-thinking approach and a shared commitment to excellence and ambition for all.

We can’t wait to welcome you and your family and show you everything Fairfield has to offer.
