Reaching high for the best for your child

We have had an amazing time going to see Aladdin yesterday and today at the Gordon Craig!

It has been two years since we were last all able to go, and for many of the children in Nursery and Reception it was their first time ever at a theatre! They did so well!

The panto was full of excitement and surprises and we had a great time dancing, signing and clapping along. 

The children were brilliantly behaved and were a real credit to the school, as always. 

Thank you to the staff and parents for supporting the trip... it really is such an important part of the Fairlands' calendar. 

Today, in our values assembly, we continued looking at our value of Democracy. 

We listened to the story of 'Grace for President' and talked about standing up for ourselves and what we believe in. 

During the month of December, we will be thinking about the value of Democracy. 

We will talk about:

• everybody has a right to an equal vote
• standing up for yourself
• standing up for others
• accepting the results are fair, even if we lose out

Our school council will be helping us to see democracy in action!

As a result of latest DfE advice on admissions arrangements, we’re consulting on some changes to our admission arrangements.

The consultation runs from 15 November 2021 to 31 December 2021. The final admission arrangements will be determined by 28th February 2022 and published by 14th March 2022.

We’re proposing the following changes to clarify our admission arrangements for 2023/24:

• To amend the definition and explanation for home address, where two applications are received for the same child

Our full proposed admissions arrangements 2023/24 can be found on our website https://www.fairlands.herts.sch.uk/info/145-admissions-arrangements

For clarity, changes in our proposed admission arrangements 2023/24 are highlighted in yellow. All other text is identical to our determined admission arrangements for 2022/23.

Our timetable for consultation is as follows:

To comment on or respond to the proposed admission arrangements 2023/24, contact the school directly. Your responses will be taken into account by the school when determining their arrangements.

We have been thinking with WaterAid UK about the right to clean, safe water and have created artwork which will be displayed at the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow!

We have had an amazing last day of term at Fairlands, celebrating our recent GOOD Ofsted inspection!

We had an energetic dance in assembly with the Techno Trolls and we have spent the day doing loads of fun activities in our party clothes.

Thank you to Mr Ellis for this lovely artwork which he drew with his class to mark the occasion!
