Horrible, arrogant and some racist teachers.

My daughter attends this school and loves it. *(Feb 2023)* - **1/5** — HORRIBLE: Absolutely terrible school, I'm being honest.

The staff have been helpful in addressing our concerns, and I appreciate the school's commitment to inclusion. However, I wish the facilities were more accessible, and the communication from the school could be more regular. *(May 2022)* - **5/5** — Exceptional School!: I'm so impressed with the facilities at Fairfield High, particularly the library. My child has thrived in the supportive environment, where they feel encouraged to challenge themselves. The school's values of kindness, respect, and excellence really shine through. We feel very lucky to be part of the Fairfield community. *(Feb 2022)* - **5/5** — A Great Learning Experience: My child had a fantastic time at Fairfield High, where they made lifelong friends and developed valuable skills. The school's extracurricular programs, such as the Young Carer Support, were a highlight for them. We're grateful for the support of the staff, who went above and beyond to help our child succeed. *(Sep 2021)* ## Other schools in Bristol - [Oasis Academy Brightstowe](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bristol/oasis-academy-brightstowe-11752) — 1.5/5 (41 reviews) - [Blaise High School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bristol/blaise-high-school-20858) — 1.5/5 (28 reviews) - [Cotham School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bristol/cotham-school-13000) — 1.3/5 (23 reviews) - [Mangotsfield School](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bristol/mangotsfield-school-16677) — 1.5/5 (22 reviews) - [Sir Bernard Lovell Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bristol/sir-bernard-lovell-academy-16402) — 1.8/5 (17 reviews) - [Winterbourne Academy](https://schoolbrowse.com/gb/bristol/winterbourne-academy-19536) — 2.7/5 (15 reviews) --- Source: SchoolBrowse (https://schoolbrowse.com) — reviews and ratings are user-submitted by parents.
