Children entering Year 1 or Year 2 will be invited to attend an informal taster/assessment morning.

Head's Up
“Farleigh School is a place of energy and spirited enquiry.

Farleigh pupils grow in confidence and in kindness, discovering qualities and interests that will enrich them for the rest of their lives.”

As parents we love...
- Pastoral care – when you go to school, it’s written all over their faces: these children are happy, and that is of No 1 importance to a parent.
- Fr Simon’s unique position as a priest, husband and parent gives him a great understanding of all aspects of life, which makes him a good listener and a fantastic Headmaster.
- The music department is exceptional. All the children get to participate in concerts, both on a large and small scale. Children learn to be inspired by the better musicians whilst feeling that they also have a role to play. In the Art Room too – a creative genius art teacher includes all. I could go on and on…!
As pupils we love...
- Fortress Farleigh, the play area in the grounds which feels like an adventure playground.
- The Summer Soirée – the open air concert in the summer where the children cartwheel and giggle between performances whilst helping themselves to everyone’s picnics.
- Farleigh friends are friends for life
