He then delivered an intensive discussion for children in years 1 and 2 who all got to try out the chair. His visit gave the children a chance to understand better what it means to be disabled - and Nat explained really well to the children that no matter who you are, if you work hard, always try your best and are resilient, you can achieve! Nat also delivered coaching sessions to all children in years 3 and 5. We have had such amazing feedback we have booked a return visit to ensure children in years 4 and 6 receive coaching in February 2019! What a truly emotional and inspirational event for all. ### Wheelchair Basket Nov 2018 [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/22727/ScreenHunter%2024.jpg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/22727/ScreenHunter%2024.jpg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/22727/F78680A1-B89C-46D7-97F1-46EABE5FEDAB.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/22727/F78680A1-B89C-46D7-97F1-46EABE5FEDAB.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/22727/5CF0C9D5-C020-47D8-A70F-91CF4641274A.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/22727/5CF0C9D5-C020-47D8-A70F-91CF4641274A.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/22727/7BB7F3DA-95AD-4967-AB27-F236ADB7E3AB.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/22727/7BB7F3DA-95AD-4967-AB27-F236ADB7E3AB.jpeg) [![](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/imagecache/720x720s/gallery/22727/32B74C6A-BE51-4D78-879E-FEB8F12FA45B.jpeg)](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/gallery/22727/32B74C6A-BE51-4D78-879E-FEB8F12FA45B.jpeg) [Equality](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/news/tag/equality) [ Cumbria Sports Awards - WE ARE SHORTLISTED!!](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/news/2018-11-16-cumbria-sports-awards-we-are-shortlisted) [PTA Christmas Bake off ](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/news/2018-11-23-pta-christmas-bake-off) ![Fairfield Primary School](https://files.schudio.com/fairfield-primary-school/images/logo/Fairfield_logo.png) #### Fairfield Primary School Gallowbarrow Cockermouth CA13 0DX 01900 821133 01900 821132 #### Academies Within Our Trust: - [Broughton Moor Primary School](https://broughtonmoorschool.co.uk/) - [Broughton Primary School](https://broughtonprimarysch.co.uk/) - [Cockermouth School](https://cockermouthschool.org/) #### Social Media - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/fairfieldprimaryschool/) - [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/fairfieldprimaryschool/) [![](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/images/logo/LFLT_Logo(1).png)](https://learningforlifetrust.co.uk/) Company Number: 09690231 (England & Wales) Registered Office Address: Fairfield Primary School, Gallowbarrow, Cockermouth, CA13 0DX © Copyright 2025–2026 Fairfield Primary School School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://fairfieldprimary.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
