What the Girls say
"This year, I have made lots of friends and really settled into the school. I would give this advice to Year 7: be confident and you can achieve anything if you put your mind to it. Make sure you have a balance between ‘work hard’ and ‘play hard’. Everyone is really supportive and this year has been really enjoyable."
"I’m sure everyone is terrified when they hear that GCSEs are coming up but I think that our teachers here are so supportive and helpful and give us all the help they possibly can. It’s silly to say I’m not nervous about the GCSEs, as they are a very important part of our lives, but Farlington is exactly what it says on the tin; we educate for confidence. Farlington has a high record for GCSEs but you don’t feel pressurised."
"Farlington has contributed significantly and has made me believe that I can achieve my goals."
"Enjoy the friendly atmosphere and the teachers’ support; the years go very quickly."
"Farlington has helped boost my confidence and increase my grades."
"It is good here, there’s always somebody you can talk to, so never forget that."
"People are very caring and supportive."
"I am not going; I am chaining myself to the big tree!"
"The teachers are really good….and they really care."
"Tutors really try and help you to make up your mind about decisions but they don’t make them for you."
"One word. Astounding."
“I just wanted to tell you what a special place this is. Staff don’t just take care of you academically but everyone takes care of everything to do with you. I feel lucky to have come here and have learnt so much.”
