School Philosophy:
We strive to help our students develop confidence and self-belief, both inside and outside the classroom. Our core values constantly seek to develop Individuality, Opportunity and Community. Individuality is about recognising and celebrating each student’s voice. Our constant aim is to enable opportunities for our pupils to learn across our full and extensive curriculum. As a true ‘through school’ and nursery – accommodating children aged 6 months to 18 years on the same site – we provide a caring and cohesive community, in which each child is recognised as a valued and valuable member. Pastoral care, wellbeing and fun are at the heart of a Farlington education; we believe that happiness enables success.

About the school
Farlington’s friendly boarding house, the 'Mansion House’, offers students a cosy, home-from-home environment. Older boarders have their own space in single or double rooms, whilst younger students share dormitories.
Within the boarding house, students experience a family atmosphere, comfortable communal areas, campus-wide Wi-Fi access, spacious study bedrooms, and all mod cons. Our boarders forge strong friendships and develop great social skills, independence and understanding, as well as a warmth of spirit and character that will serve them well at university and throughout their lives.
Once the busy school day is over, evenings are relaxed and fun, with a great sense of community. Our supportive staff are always on hand to help, lend a listening ear or discuss the day’s events. The Common Room has a large-screen TV on which to watch favourite programmes and DVDs, and every Friday is ‘Movie Night’ – complete with popcorn!
