Smartphone Free Childhood parent group- Monday morning
13/06/2026 1:09 PM
Dear parents and carers,
The parent Smartphone Free Childhood group will be on the playground again on Monday 15th in the morning before school to chat to any parents and to hear your views. Please come and chat and have a coffee to start your day, and talk to other parents about how to navigate technology with your children in a non-jugemental, informal way. We are all in this together and it is great to hear each other ideas.
 
Also, a reminder that the next Basingstoke Papaya webinars as part of our Smartphone Free Basingstoke collective is on Tuesday:
  • KS2 - Tuesday June 16th - 8-8:45pm - "Let's Talk About Our Kids and Their Tech" - Register free here
Kind regards,
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

Missing books- URGENT
2/02/2026 9:17 PM

Dear parents/carers of Lima class,

Sadly, two further books have gone missing today from Lima's classroom. These are brand new books which belong to a child in the class. Please can you ensure that your child has not brought home any additional books which do not belong to them. The books which went missing today are titled “The catastrophic friendship fails of Lottie Brooks” and “The mega complicated crushes of Lottie Brooks”. We have spoken to the children about this issue previously and have reiterated to them the seriousness of taking someone else's belongings. I would appreciate it if you could also speak to your child about this issue so that we can stop this situation from continuing. 

Kind regards

Mrs Vicky Hopkins
