LOWER SCHOOL LIFE

Classes in our Lower School are calm, purposeful and supportive, and individual successes are keenly celebrated.

We encourage each child to achieve their personal best and discover their strengths in different aspects of school life, especially those that are more challenging.

Pupils and teachers approach life positively, finding interest and enjoyment within lessons; learning in the outdoors is highly valued. We encourage initiative and healthy competition enabling pupils to resolve disputes for themselves, perform with confidence and help one another.

Of course, what your son or daughter learns in the classroom is just part of their Farlington education - school life at this age is about so much more, and so every pupil will be given plenty of opportunity to participate in a myriad of activities.

Opportunities exist for all on the sports field, in the music rooms and on stage. We also have 'Forest School' status, and all children have access to the area throughout the year.

The range of clubs and activities is endless and all staff contribute to the extra-curricular programme so that there is plenty of choice for each pupil.
