At Farringtons Senior School, sport is not just a co-curricular activity—it is a cornerstone of our community. While we pride ourselves on offering a diverse range of athletic opportunities, football stands out as a particular pillar of strength, fostering talent, discipline and a competitive spirit that resonates across our school.
Facilities and strategic partnerships
With 25 acres of space, our facilities provide the perfect environment for pupils to hone their skills. These include:
- Expansive playing fields: The heart of our outdoor sports programme
- State-of-the-art sports hall: For year-round training and matches
- Glebe Football Club partnership: We have recently partnered with Glebe Football Club, allowing our pupils daily access to their all-weather astro-turf pitch right opposite the school
- Performance support: Pupils also benefit from our heated swimming pool, a mirrored dance studio with sprung flooring and a dedicated fitness suite for Year 10 and above.
Expert coaching and academic integration
Success on the pitch is driven by expert guidance. Our Sports Department boasts a UEFA B Licensed Coach, ensuring that our training sessions meet professional standards.
Beyond the physical game, we have specialised classrooms for GCSE and A Level Sports Studies, allowing pupils to understand the science and theory behind their performance.
A proven track record of success
Our trophy cabinet reflects the hard work of our teams. We are incredibly proud of our recent accolades, including:
- U19 Boys Team: Winners of the North Kent Division 2 title for three consecutive years
- U19 Kent Cup: Crowned champions
- Local dominance: Both our boys’ and girls’ teams consistently secure victories in local leagues and cup competitions.
From Farringtons to the pro leagues
The true measure of our programme lies in the pathways we create. For pupils playing at an exceptional level, we maintain direct contacts with professional scouts to ensure their talent is recognised.
We are thrilled to see so many Farringtons faces representing elite academies and professional clubs.
