About

On my own first visit, I was struck by the considerable heart that Farlington possesses, and by its warmth and welcome. I became Farlington's first appointed Headmaster in September 2021, a hugely exciting moment in the school's history as we celebrated becoming fully co-educational in what was our 125th anniversary year.

Farlington has always been a very special community and possessing of a strong set of values that underpin our ethos. Our students are bright, witty, engaging and charming, and our staff work tirelessly to make a positive difference in guiding and supporting them to choose their own path, reflective of their interests and talents.

By the time they leave us, our students are independent, grounded and rounded young people, able to confidently make their own way in life. People and relationships are what Farlington is all about!

In the school’s own words, from the school website.
