Take a look at more of the fantastic photos from our recent summer trip to Egypt. Scuba diving is just one of the brilliant opportunities offered as part of the Floreat Programme in our Senior School, giving pupils the chance to build confidence, discover new passions and explore the world beyond the classroom. 🌊🐠

There was huge energy and excitement in school yesterday as our Year 11 pupils came in to collect their GCSE results. As a cohort they have worked incredibly hard and we were delighted to see them celebrating the best results in the school's history by all measures.

Over 50% of grades were 9-7 (A*/A), compared to 39.4% last year and an average for the past four years of 31%. Equally pleasing was the fact that 73% of grades were 9-6 (60% in 2025) and 96.5% were 9-4 (92.7% last year). 24 pupils achieved 7 or more GCSEs at grades 7-9, a remarkable accomplishment for a broad ability school.

This continued improvement year on year very much reflects the school's academic ambition and our desire to see every pupil fulfil their true potential. It is also testament to the hugely dedicated teachers whose hard work, extra sessions and unwavering, personalised support have really paid off. The pupils can now look ahead to their sixth form studies with real confidence.

Many congratulations Year 11 - we are hugely proud of you all!

Starting school is a big milestone, but it does not have to mean a big disruption.

By welcoming pupils to Farringtons Prep School from the age of 2.5 from September 2026, we are replacing the traditional nursery-to-school hurdle. Joining our Early Years provision offers three distinct advantages for your child's journey:

✨ Consistency: Eliminate the unsettling transition from a standalone nursery to a primary school. Your child grows up in one familiar, nurturing environment.

✨ Confidence: Immersed in our grounds, staff and ethos from day one, our youngest pupils naturally grow into self-assured, confident learners.

✨ Community: We welcome your entire family into the Farringtons fold much earlier, building strong partnerships that support your child all the way from 2.5 to 18.

Ever wondered what day-to-day life is actually like for a boarder at Farringtons? Our latest blog post pulls back the curtain on a typical day in our boarding community, showing how we transition from calm, purposeful mornings into evening routines that feel much more like a home than a school.

Our boarding pupils enjoy a supportive start to the day with dedicated house parents before joining day pupils for a full academic timetable and a brilliant after-school line-up of sports and clubs across our 25-acre site. Weekends are just as vibrant, balancing relaxed downtime with exciting trips into London for theatres and museums. With boutique-style full and flexi-boarding options, our exceptional pastoral care team focuses heavily on wellbeing, keeping families closely connected every step of the way.
