About Us:

Beeston Fields FHA is a wonderfully diverse primary and nursery school, where children receive an exceptional education.  There are two guiding principles which support our efforts every day. The first principle is that of excellence. Everything we do is led by our desire to show excellence, this might be in our approach to work, the way we treat others, the manners we use towards our peers and visitors or in the way we respond to new experiences. You will hear the word 'excellent' many times as you move through school. The second principle is that of empowerment. We want our children to feel empowered to be the best they can be, to make positive changes to their world and to achieve their academic and personal goals. We want our children to be empowered to show 'good character and heart' as well as striving for excellence.
