There are approximately 120 boarders at Farleigh where the friendly family atmosphere is one of the school's strengths. The prospect of always having friends around and more time to benefit from the wonderful facilities and opportunities, make boarding a popular option. Many day pupils stay on after school for prep, tennis coaching, additional sports practice, music ensemble practice, speech and drama lessons etc.
Having a wide group of friends with whom to take part in clubs and activities strengthens your child's friendships. Living together with their peers helps them to develop confidence, camaraderie, maturity and self-reliance in a safe and nurturing environment, leading to an enhanced level of independence as they make the transition to senior school.
Boarding at Farleigh remains successful because of the friendly family atmosphere and exceptionally warm relationship between staff and children.
