About
The Good Schools Guide's view...
"Farleigh is an outstanding school and we aren't in the least surprised that parents go into raptures about the place.
'Ah, lovely Farleigh,' mused one father. Children, teachers and parents extol its virtues, its academic success, its beautiful grounds and its prowess at everything from music to sport.
But above all, it's a happy school, led by an exceptional head who's determined that every pupil should be listened to and understood. He wants children to be given the best possible start in life - and they really are."
Day-to-Day
A current parent in the Inside Scoop...
"Farleigh is simply unique. Chosen for its Catholic ethos and after endless recommendations, we have been astounded by the school. Each child is seen as an individual, nurtured and encouraged at all times.
The children have the most deep-set sense of right and wrong instilled in them from the moment they arrive, which creates kind, confident and happy children who seek to help others and find joy in the achievement of others."
Pre-Prep
The Good Schools Guide says...
"The pre-prep is based in its own spacious building on the school site, with two classes per year group. We arrived at 4pm, with excited children pouring into after-school activities like yoga and sewing. Pre-prep opens its doors for breakfast club at 7.30am and an after-school club runs till 5.45pm."
Prep
Tatler Schools Guide 2020 says...
"There is a focus on enrichment of personality: they are educating children for their futures and the workplace, not merely churning out exam bots. Pastoral care is fully integrated throughout and the teaching and learning support provision is excellent...
Parents praise the fact that their children have been lucky enough to enjoy a stress-free childhood: 'It lets children be children' - but there's not a hint of shabbiness. Slick, smart and very, very happy."
Boarding
- Boarding
- Boarding Routine
The ISI (Independent Schools Inspectorate) says...
"Boarding makes a strong contribution to the distinctive atmosphere of the school. The very positive ethos of the school fosters considerable loyalty and pride in the boarders... It is clearly evident that boarders enjoy each other's company and acknowledge the beneficial effect that boarding has on their independence and self-reliance."
