About Fairfield Infant School
Fairfield Infant School is a state primary for children aged 3 to 7, and the experience parents report is notably positive. In its most recent Ofsted inspection, the school was rated Good, and it has held this rating across both its recent inspections, suggesting consistent quality. The school is popular locally, with a capacity of 270 pupils and clear evidence of oversubscription — a strong signal that families in the East Suffolk area actively choose it. While the data does not include a specific parent-view recommendation percentage, the combination of a Good Ofsted grade and high demand implies a solid reputation among the families it serves. The school is led by headteacher Mark Girling and operates under Suffolk local authority, with a non-religious character. It offers nursery provision, making it a convenient option for families with younger siblings, and its mixed-gender intake reflects the typical primary setup in the area.
