About Fairfield Community Primary School

Fairfield Community Primary School is a state primary in Oadby and Wigston, Leicestershire, that is currently running very close to capacity with 207 pupils against a school capacity of 210. The proportion of pupils eligible for free school meals stands at 18.8%, which is notably higher than the national average of around 23% but still significant for a school of this size. Demand for places is strong: for the 2025/26 academic year, the school received 102 total applications for just 30 places, giving an oversubscription ratio of 3.4. Of those, 31 were first-preference applications, and 28 first-preference offers were made, meaning the school is clearly a popular choice among local families. The school is mixed, non-religious, and caters for children aged 2 to 11, with nursery provision available. Headteacher Tom Keene leads a school that, despite its modest size, draws considerable interest from the community.
