Welcome to Fairhouse Primary School. I am delighted to be headteacher of this fantastic school in the heart of Basildon.

Fairhouse Primary School is a "Good" two-form Primary school with a highly supportive and dedicated staff team. My vision for Fairhouse is for our school and our community to make a positive difference in the lives of each and every one of the pupils, both academically and personally. We are ambitious, passionate and determined to achieve success in every aspect of school life. The staff, Governing Body and the Trust work together to create and foster a culture of high aspiration, enjoyment for learning, academic success and lifelong skills amongst all pupils, regardless of their social, economic or cultural background.

Here at Fairhouse, we are proud members of the Children's University. This is an opportunity for children to gain recognition for their participation in extra-curricular activities both inside outside of school. The children's University encourages children to partake in a range of activities to build on their love of learning and build their self-confidence and resilience

If your child has not yet signed up for Children's University, ask at the front office for a membership form

We are proud to be working towards our Bronze Young Carers award here at Fairhouse Primary School. This means that we are supporting any children in our school community who may be classed as a young carer. Miss Byford and Mrs Fleming

The main symptoms of coronavirus (COVID-19) are:

• a high temperature – this means you feel hot to touch on your chest or back (you do not need to measure your temperature)
• a new, continuous cough – this means coughing a lot for more than an hour, or 3 or more coughing episodes in 24 hours (if you usually have a cough, it may be worse than usual)
• a loss or change to your sense of smell or taste – this means you've noticed you cannot smell or taste anything, or things smell or taste different to normal

Please inform us if your child has any of these symptoms. If so, please keep them home and organise a PCR test immediately.
