Reaching high for the best for your child

A word from our Chair of Governors

Monday, 18 July 2022

As the end of term approaches, I’m grateful that we made it through a whole academic year without a national lockdown… although we did have a few covid outbreaks in the school.

We started the year in September with a bang, receiving our first Ofsted inspection since 2012… the whole school pulled together and we maintained our Good Rating!!

On the 14th July all the children in the school got to spend time in their new classrooms with their new teachers and classmates… always an exciting day for the children and parents/carers alike! That also means that our wonderful Year Six cohort spent the day visiting their new secondary schools. Good luck to all our Year Six leavers and I can’t wait to watch your leavers show next week… it always makes me feel emotional!

This year we have seen a number of changes to our governing body: we said goodbye to José Ángel García; we welcomed Cheryl Holt - a new parent governor; and Jon Barrett - a new Co-opted governor. We do have a few vacancies starting in September 2023 so please reach out if you would like to know more on how you could support the school Claire.Peacock@fairlands.herts.sch.uk

Now we are dealing with an unprecendeted heatwave - thank you to all the staff who once again are stepping up to keep things running as smoothly as possible. 

Have a safe summer holidays and we look forward to seeing you on Monday 5th  September.

Kind regards

Claire Peacock, Chair of Governors
