Fairfield Primary School
About Fairfield Primary School
Fairfield Primary School was rated Good in its most recent Ofsted inspection, a grade it has held consistently across both its graded and ungraded inspections. The school’s most telling academic metric is the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths combined at Key Stage 2, which sits at 64 per cent. That is five percentage points above the Halton local authority average of 59 per cent, placing Fairfield 18th out of 43 primary schools in the borough. In national terms, the school ranks in the 46th percentile, meaning it performs slightly better than the median primary school across England. The data suggests a solid, above-average academic offering for a state primary in Halton, with particular strength in reading, where the average scaled score is 106 and 34 per cent of pupils achieve the higher standard.
