Fairholme Preparatory School is an independent primary school in St. Asaph in Denbighshire for boys and girls aged three to 11 years old. The school was founded in 1900 and moved to its present site in 1964. The current proprietors have been at the school since 2009. There are 111 pupils on roll, 24 of whom are in the nursery and reception classes. Most pupils live in the local area. A few pupils travel from surrounding rural areas and from as far as Holywell and Colwyn Bay. There are 10 full-time teachers, three part-time teachers, and two full-time support staff. English is the predominant language of most pupils. Around 14% of pupils speak other languages at home. Approximately 28% of pupils are from minority ethnic groups. The school reports that no pupils are socially disadvantaged. Around 2% of pupils receive additional learning support. No pupil has a statement of special educational needs. As part of its admission procedures, the school will normally offer a place for all three-year-olds. Pupils joining at a later age are invited, along with their parents, to meet the principal for an informal interview. Depending on age, they can subsequently visit the school for a taster day during which the form teacher will assess the child’s abilities. Following a discussion with parents, and subject to the satisfaction of both parties, a place will be offered. The school was last inspected in 2005.
