Fairfield Academy

About Fairfield Academy

Fairfield Academy sits comfortably above the local authority average for primary schools in North East Lincolnshire when it comes to the key measure of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths (RWM). The school recorded 69% of its Year 6 pupils hitting that combined benchmark in the 2023/24 academic year, compared with the LA average of 64%. That five-percentage-point gap is modest but meaningful, placing Fairfield 15th out of 42 primary schools in the borough and in the top half nationally. The school’s overall ranking score of 69 puts it just outside the top ten locally, though it’s worth noting that the three highest-ranked peers in the area are all Church of England primaries. Fairfield itself has no religious character, which may appeal to families looking for a secular state option. The school is also oversubscribed — 64 families applied for 29 places in the 2025/26 intake, with all 29 first-preference offers accepted — a clear sign of local confidence.
