History

Farringtons School boasts a rich history, dating back to 1911. Nestled in the heart of Chislehurst, Kent, the school has evolved over the century, becoming a renowned institution known for its academic excellence and nurturing environment.

Early Beginnings
(1911-1928)

Farringtons’ story began in 1911 as a Methodist girls’ school. The school quickly established itself, providing a strong academic foundation and fostering a strong Christian ethos. In 1928, a royal charter solidified Farringtons’ position as a prestigious educational institution.

Growth and Change
(1928-2010)

The following decades witnessed continued growth for Farringtons. The school expanded its facilities and curriculum, offering a well-rounded education that emphasised not just academics but also personal development, creativity, and co-curricular activities.

A significant milestone arrived in 2010 when Farringtons transitioned into a co-educational school, welcoming both boys and girls. This decision reflected the school’s commitment to inclusivity and providing a diverse learning environment.
