Year 2 trip update- return time
26/06/2026 12:52 PM

Year 2 have had a lovely day on their trip (I was very tempted to join them after stepping on the air conditioned coach this morning!!)

They are due back in school at 1.40pm. If you have completed the early finish form to take your child home, please come to the canopy area at this time so we can dismiss them to you. If you have other children you have also completed the form for and wish to collect them at the same time, this is not a problem. We can keep them in school until 1.40 also instead of collecting them at 1.05pm or 1.15pm. 

Many thanks

Mrs Vicky Hopkins

If you have any questions, please come and see us on the playground or email pta@fairfields.hants.sch.uk

Dear Parents/Carers
 
Although temperatures are set to drop slightly tomorrow, we have just received a red weather warning extended to the end of the day on Friday. 
 
As a result, we will offer, as we have for the last two days, an optional pick up at 1.05pm (for Foundation Stage and years 1 and 2) or 1.15pm (for years 3, 4, 5 or 6) on Friday 26 June. Please click the link below to complete the form by 12 noon on Friday 26 June if you would like to collect your child at this earlier time. Please can I remind you that this is optional and school is open as normal, with all staff in school.

Pick up early on 26th June 2026  – Fill out form

Year 2 children are due to attend their school trip tomorrow. We are making alternative plans for this in light of the adverse weather. Please bear with us as we finalise these plans, and we will send out a separate communication about this later today.
 
Year 6 parents who have transition days planned for tomorrow, individual schools should be contacting you about whether these transition days are now taking place, and what arrangements they have to support the pupils. Please let us know if you are unaware of what your child's secondary school is doing, and we are happy to support. 
 
Thank you for all your support.
Mrs Vicky Hopkins

Netball cancelled today
8/06/2026 1:12 PM

Sorry for the late notice but the forecast has changed and the rain is set to stay now for the afternoon. The playground is very slippy for netball so we have cancelled today's training after school. If this is an issue at all, please contact school. 

Apologies.

Year 6 Leavers Hoodies
1/05/2026 12:24 PM

Dear parents and carers,

As a tradition in year 6, we would like to organise leavers hoodies for the children to purchase and wear for their final half term in school. They will be able to keep these as a memory of their time at Fairfields. The hoodies will be designed with the school logo on the front, and with the children's names from year 6 on the back. Only the children's first names will be used, unless we have two children with the same first name. In this situation, the child's first name and first letter of their surname will be used.  

A parent of a child in year 6 has kindly offered to coordinate the hoodies being designed and ordered but before we send out further details, we need to check if you are happy for your child's name to be included on the hoodie. If you do not want your child's name on the hoodie, please can you inform the school office by Friday 8th May. After this date, we will get started on the hoodie design. 

Many thanks

Mrs Vicky Hopkins
