The 21st century demands a lot from students. At Farringtons, our 21st-century boarding programme offers a unique solution: a perfect blend of escape and engagement to help students thrive.
Beyond the Classroom: Adventures Await
Once classes wrap up at 3.50pm, the fun for our boarders is just beginning. As well as supporting dedicated prep time to ensure academic success, we also offer a number of co-curricular activities for boarders to participate in.
Evenings Packed with Possibilities
Furthermore, each evening offers a variety of exciting options designed to broaden our boarders’ horizons in sports, academics, and culture. Not to mention our indoor swimming pool, gym, or impressive 9-screen video wall in Ferens Hall, which is perfect for movie nights. Additionally, we have had huge successes with our themed dinner nights, with our talented catering team going all out to create delicious culinary adventures for each theme.
Nurturing Wellbeing: Body, Mind, and Spirit
Whether baking in our Food and Nutrition classrooms to playing football in our grounds, we ensure our boarders’ wellbeing is nurtured. Notably, Scadbury Nature Reserve bordering the school grounds, providing a beautiful space for relaxation and exploration.
Weekend Getaways: Exploring London’s Doorstep
Furthermore, weekends offer even more excitement, with the opportunity to explore the amazing perks of being located near London. For example, previous trips have included a variety of activities, such as:
