About E-Act Fairlawn Primary School

E-Act Fairlawn Primary School is clearly a popular choice among local families. In the 2025/26 admissions round, the school received 86 applications for just 27 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.19. Of those 86 applicants, 22 put Fairlawn as their first preference, and all 22 were offered a place. That level of demand suggests parents in the area see real value here. The school is led by headteacher Siobhan Lennox-Brown and currently has 229 pupils on roll, well below its capacity of 420. It’s a mixed, non-religious state primary for children aged 4 to 11, and its most recent Ofsted inspection, an ungraded visit in October 2023, confirmed the school remains Good — the same rating it received at its previous graded inspection in 2018.
