But we are about much more than qualifications. We seek to educate the whole person, and as such, our students leave us as confident and articulate young people, with a good understanding of the world around them and strong interpersonal skills.

Our Pathways Philosophy

Our Pathways Philosophy aims to support each student throughout their post-16 educational and developmental journey. This begins with admissions interviews in Year 11, which help to identify which subjects and interests each prospective student might have; what their thoughts are on their broader educational goals; and where they think they might be going next.

Once part of Farlington Sixth Form, each student’s individual Pathway consists of three coexisting strands:

  • Academics & Wellbeing
  • Enrichment & Engagement 
  • Preparation for the Future

This holistic and integrative approach enables students to keep focused on their own personal journey, serving as a stepping stone as they fulfil their potential and guiding them towards their next chapter.

Sixth Form Boarding 

At Farlington, we have a small but friendly boarding community, made up of both local and overseas students. Full, weekly and flexi-boarding options are available. Boarders enjoy varied evening activities including sports, social activities, and music and performing arts opportunities, as well as weekend trips.

For many students, boarding is a valuable stepping stone to university life and living away from home. Our boarders develop greater independence and gain critical life skills, such as preparing food and managing laundry.
