About Fairfield Primary School

Fairfield Primary School sits comfortably above the local authority average for Key Stage 2 outcomes, a clear point of difference for families in Stockton-on-Tees. While the LA average for pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined sits at 66%, Fairfield achieves 78% — a twelve-point gap that puts the school in the top quarter of primaries nationally. This isn't a school that just scrapes by; it ranks 16th out of 55 primary schools in the borough, placing it in the top 30% locally. The school is oversubscribed too, with 112 applications for 58 places in the 2025/26 admissions round, and 56 of those offers went to first-preference families. That level of demand suggests local parents see the same data you're looking at now.
