About Farleigh
In the Community

Farleigh makes a proactive contribution to the life of the community. The school buildings, gardens and sports facilities are made available for local groups to use throughout the year and fund raising activities take place regularly. Guests from nearby villages and a local amateur dramatic society attend school plays.

One of our pupils visits Turkana in Kenya

Your child can become involved in a wide range of opportunities through their practical efforts - from competing in triathlons and carol singing in local nursing homes, to helping with a Community Club for children with severe learning difficulties from a local school (one of the choices for Tuesday Activities).

Father Simon continues to celebrate Mass in the school Chapel as one of the parish Masses every Sunday throughout the year. The very high number of regular worshippers indicates the valuable contribution both he and the availability of the school Chapel make to the community.
