The School provides a balanced academic, sporting, musical, and social curriculum that enables each pupil to fulfill his or her potential. This is delivered by a team of truly passionate teachers who strives to push pupils to their academic limits.
Our supportive Christian environment encourages all pupils to pursue activities and develop new passions. We offer an eclectic range of sports and activities. The sports hall, swimming pool and 25 acres of School grounds provide a perfect environment for games, whilst the library, computer suites and other facilities, including a dark room, are used for many other lessons and interests.
We recognize that each child is an individual and aim to promote the development of all-around talents, allowing our pupils to leave us well-equipped to deal with the challenges of higher education and beyond.
Farringtons School is part of a group administered by the Council for Methodist Independent Schools.
We are all committed to the following Mission Statement: The Methodist church is engaged in education as part of its Christian mission in the world. Its schools will seek to extend the Methodist ethos and character and contribute to diversity in education.
- To be caring Christian family communities committed to the development of the full potential of each individual, having regard for their attributes in addition to their academic aspirations
- To maintain high educational standards in all their academic, cultural, and sporting activities, stimulating excitement in learning and requiring discipline in study whatever the ability of the child
- To work with and in the communities they serve
- To worship as Christians in the Methodist tradition to uphold Christian values in practice as well as in theory and to make religious education a strong feature of the curriculum, whilst welcoming members of other faiths (and none) in a spirit of openness and tolerance
- To encourage pupils in a critical examination of the standards and values current in society and to discover and develop a personal faith to guide them throughout their lives.
- Farringtons School values its Methodist heritage and Christian foundation which fundamentally shape the Aims and Values which emerge from the Methodist Independent Schools Mission statement.
In September 2006, Farringtons became the location for a new nursery development – Busy Bees at Farringtons – providing daycare for children aged three months to four years. In January 2008, new purpose-built Foundation stage classrooms and facilities were opened by the Mayor of Bromley.
Under the headship of Mrs. Catherine James, in 2010 the school accepted boys into Year 7 for the first time it is now fully co-educational, a process which has been incredibly successful and seen places much in demand from both boys and girls alike.
The School continues to grow and flourish, and in 2016 Head, Mrs. Dorothy Nancekievill opened a new two-story teaching block that provides enhanced teaching accommodation and facilities for both Science and Mathematics. We look forward with anticipation to the School's continuing success.
Our good balance of academia, sport, music, drama, and other activities and social events prepares pupils for life beyond Farringtons. Every pupil leaves with the tools to fulfill their potential.
Our supportive Christian environment encourages all pupils to pursue interests and develop passions. You are warmly invited to visit the School, either at one of our Open Mornings, held throughout the year or by individual appointment.
