Welcome to the Senior School

The Senior School years herald some of the most important times in a young person’s life. Not only do they contain the all-important exam years, but also the experiences that mark their milestones and create lifelong memories.

At Farlington, our student experience ensures that we are able to build upon the secure foundations laid during the Lower School and Middle School. Through Years 9 to 11, our careers and choices programme, including the Nexus programme, focuses on the individual, ensuring that each person is choosing the right GCSE courses and enabling them to build effective study skills for success at this level.  

Should students be accepted into our Sixth Form for their A level study, they are given greater autonomy in their education and are expected to develop increased independence in their lives. Our Sixth Form enjoys its own distinct feel, reflecting a more adult way of working and offering significant opportunities to develop leadership skills and an appreciation for service within society. At this stage in their education, Farlington students are confident, independent learners, pursuing their chosen academic options.   

Throughout these crucial stages, our students are engaged fully in both school life and that of the wider community, ensuring that they are prepared for whatever their next steps may be.

We look forward to working with you, in partnership with your son or daughter, during these exciting years.

Kind regards

Caroline Newell

Head of Senior School
