Being the best we can be
Welcome to Fairhouse Primary School
Fairhouse Primary School is a busy and successful two-form entry primary school in the heart of Basildon, Essex. Originally a separate infants and junior school, the schools amalgamated in September 2016 to become Fairhouse Community Primary School. In May 2019, the school joined the successful Berlesduna Academy Trust.
The school was inspected as Fairhouse Junior School in 2016 and received a grading of "Good".
The school appointed Mrs Hamilton as the new Headteacher in September 2019.
