History of Fairstead House School

Fairstead House was founded in 1950 by Rosamonde Taylor and following her retirement in 1978, ownership of the school passed to a charitable trust. A co-educational independent day school for children aged 3-11, Fairstead House School is situated close to the centre of historic Newmarket, headquarters of the ‘Sport of Kings’ and adjacent to the famous gallops in the attractive county of Suffolk.

The present Headmaster, Gareth Williams takes over the reins from three previous long serving Heads whose valued contributions have been honoured recently with the school houses named after them.
