Schools in and around Fairham (NG11)

Data updated October 2026

Applying for a school place in Fairham (NG11)

School admissions are run by the local authority where you live; the school may be in a different local authority (that is, it goes by your address rather than the school's). This area covers more than one local authority — mainly Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.

Apply through the council for the area where you live. In some parts of England there are two councils — a smaller district or borough council and a larger county council. Where that is the case, it is the county council that handles school admissions. If you are not sure which applies to you, use the “find your local authority” link above. Deadlines and admission rules vary by council, so always check its official pages. See also our guide to school admissions.
