About Fairfields Primary School

Fairfields Primary School sits right on the Milton Keynes average for the proportion of pupils reaching the expected standard in reading, writing and maths at Key Stage 2 — 61% compared with the local authority average of 62%. That places it 27th out of 89 primary schools in the borough, squarely in the middle of the pack. Where the school does stand out is in its Ofsted record. Its most recent graded inspection in July 2022 awarded an overall Good rating, but three of the five sub-categories — early years provision, personal development, and behaviour and attitudes — were judged Outstanding. That’s a notable improvement from the previous inspection just six months earlier, which had rated the school Inadequate overall. The turnaround in leadership and management, from Inadequate to Good, suggests a school that has stabilised quickly under headteacher Kelly Cursley.
