School Information Welcome to Farringtons Play Video Read More Farringtons is a truly remarkable school, one steeped in history and tradition, but forward thinking in its approach. I feel very privileged to have been entrusted with leading its happy and vibrant community and ensuring that we continue to provide its pupils with an outstanding all-round education. The school's motto 'Posside Sapientiam' ('growing in wisdom') very much reflects our educational philosophy. Our dedicated and inspirational teachers are wholly committed to helping every pupil achieve their full academic potential. We encourage them to be independent, curious and creative in their thinking, yet, at the same time, not to be afraid of failure, since it is often by making mistakes that we grow intellectually and personally and become more resilient as a result. Equally, however, we believe strongly that learning should not be limited to the classroom, nor measured solely by exam results. Indeed, we place great emphasis on providing opportunities for pupils to pursue a wide range of co-curricular interests, on developing the art of leadership and teamwork, as well as those all-important soft skills. This is seen not only in sport but also in Music, Drama and the Arts.
