Welcome to Fairhouse Primary School

Fairhouse Primary School is a busy and successful two-form entry primary school in the heart of Basildon, Essex. Originally a separate infants and junior school, the schools amalgamated in September 2016 to become Fairhouse Community Primary School. In May 2019, the school joined the successful Berlesduna Academy Trust.

The school was inspected as Fairhouse Junior School in 2016 and received a grading of "Good".

The school appointed Mrs Hamilton as the new Headteacher in September 2019.

Homework and online learning'

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.
