Forest School at Farringtons School

Within its 25-acre grounds lies dedicated natural space where learning shifts from classroom to campfire. Students construct shelters, investigate local ecosystems, and master outdoor cooking rather than following traditional lesson plans. These experiences cultivate imagination and critical thinking while strengthening collaborative skills—offering an approach that feels genuinely removed from conventional education.

Modern Facilities

Farringtons School has invested in high-specification sports facilities throughout its campus. The grounds feature a 20-metre indoor swimming pool, running track, floodlit netball courts, and recently built cricket pitches, alongside a sports hall, mirrored dance studio, and fitness suite. These amenities create an environment where both competitive athletes and casual participants can thrive.

Scholarships and Support

Farringtons School offers sports scholarships to students who demonstrate exceptional athletic ability. Recipients receive comprehensive resources designed to support their competitive ambitions: access to specialized coaching, supplementary training sessions, physiotherapy services, personalized nutrition guidance, and continuous progress tracking. This framework provides talented athletes with everything they need to develop their skills and reach their potential.
