Thomas Fairchild Community School

My daughter started this school a few months ago and I can truly say I am 100% with my choice. The staff are very polite and helpful, they have a breakfast club starting from 07:45 and a playcentre until 18:00 at an affordable rate. The school is very well equipped for all lessons and activities and has several playgrounds for different age groups. They have on-site catering staff that provide food for staff and children for breakfast, lunch and the playcentre.

I was intrigued by the new centre set up for kids at the age of pre-​nursery. Its done in a lot of recycled wood, given a Scandinavian design element; basic and playful.
Upon my inquiry the adjacent Georgain building houses the mixed primary and prep school. Children from different geographical and cultural backgrounds go to study and is a local community school run by a trust fund and its members. Not much green space to it I thought, its entrance grounds are very cold and grey. Quiet an air of Victorian rigidness and emotionless warmth to the place. The running and exciting shouts of little kids distracted me from my dissection.
The security is superb, you can’t walk in without someone opening the gates. I wonder how disciplined the young children are trained to be, especially when you have a pot-​pourrie fo culture to manage. I spoke to one of the teachers who was friendly and calm in nature, she was looking after the kids in their break.
The localtion of this school is important because the local community around rough Hackney, they are able to give their children a safe and cultured environment to develop. The school take 45 children in each year group aged from 3 – 11 years.
