Once a Fairfield girl, always a Fairfield girl 💙

At Fairfield High School for Girls, our Old Girls remain at the heart of our community. We’re so proud of all our former students have gone on to achieve and the lives they’ve led and there’s always a connection back to Fairfield.

We love hearing about memories of your time at school or where your life has taken you since. To keep in touch, or to join the Old Girls Association visit https://www.fairfieldhighschool.co.uk/who-we-are/old-girls-association/

As temperatures rise, we would like to remind our community about the importance of staying safe around water.

We are proud to support the RNLI’s campaign, helping young people understand what to do if they get into trouble in open water.

Remember:
🌊 Don’t panic
🌊 Float on your back
🌊 Keep calm and control your breathing
🌊 Call for help or continue floating until help arrives

Many accidental drownings happen because of cold water shock, even during warm weather. Please help us spread this important message by talking to your child and sharing this post.

Miss Winspear was honoured to attend the Buckingham Palace Garden Party celebrating the 70th anniversary of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the achievements of DofE Gold Award holders.

Held at Buckingham Palace, the afternoon included inspiring speeches from HRH The Duke of Edinburgh and Dame Kelly Holmes, alongside appearances from special guests including David Seaman, Sara Davies, Katya Jones, Tyler West and Molly Rainford.

At Fairfield, we are incredibly proud to support the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award and the amazing opportunities it gives our students to develop confidence, resilience and valuable life skills.

Welcome back! We hope you all had a restful and enjoyable half-term break and are feeling refreshed for our final half term of the year.

With exam season still underway, please remember to take care of yourselves and prioritise your wellbeing. Support is always available if you need it don’t hesitate to reach out. For more information on support available to pupils, please visit https://www.fairfieldhighschool.co.uk/support/mental-health-and-wellbeing/

As the warmer weather continues, we are supporting the RNLI’s important campaign to help keep our young people safe around water.

Open water such as rivers, canals, lakes and reservoirs can be extremely dangerous – even on hot days. Cold water shock, hidden currents and difficulty getting out of the water can quickly put lives at risk.

If you find yourself struggling in the water:
💧 Tilt your head back with ears submerged
💧 Relax and control your breathing
💧 Move your hands and legs to help you stay afloat
💧 Your legs may sink – that’s OK, everyone floats differently

Please take a few minutes to talk to your child about water safety and share this lifesaving advice with family and friends.

Eid Mubarak to everyone in our school community who is celebrating!
