Fairlawn recently had a full ofsted inspection, and as a parent there I'm proud to say that it has been rated as Outstanding in ALL areas. This is a fantastic achievement and one of which the staff, governors and parents should be really proud. The new criteria mean getting outstanding across the board is especially rare, and puts Fairlawn probably in the top 5(?)% of uk schools. Well done to everyone!

However, this fantastic result can't benefit any more of the local community than it already does, as the school is completely oversubscribed. So come on Lewisham, give one of your exemplary education providers chance to support even more of your constituents, and give them space to expand! Namely, Hamilton lodge and 118 Canonbie, where Fairlawn could provide an infant school and then be able to double it's current size.
