About our school
Fairlop Primary School is a community school situated in the north of the London Borough of Redbridge, near Barkingside and Hainault on the borders of Essex. Although the school opened in temporary huts on the field in December 1929, the foundation tablet for the present school was unveiled on 31st August 1933.
Fairlop’s overall aim is for all of our pupils to achieve the highest possible standards and fulfil their potential emotionally, academically and physically. We recognise that our pupils need to learn the skills to enable them to articulate themselves. Talk is at the core of our curriculum. This allows the children to be able to apply their knowledge and skills across a high variety of rich learning experiences which engage, inspire and challenge them.
Within a safe, inclusive and stimulating environment we aim to:
- give our pupils full access to the curriculum and provide opportunities to explore, discover and create with an emphasis on first-hand experience of the world around them;
- ensure our pupils become confident, independent learners with lively enquiring minds;
- support our pupils to develop life skills in preparation for their own future;
- provide a caring atmosphere which promotes positive behaviour by giving pupils the skills to have respect for themselves, the people around them and the community in which they live;
- ensure all of our pupils have their voice heard and listened to, supporting them to be confident to effectively express their opinions.
