Farringtons Parents’ Association

The Farringtons Parents’ Association (FPA) is a vibrant network of parents dedicated to enriching the lives of our children at Farringtons. Through their tireless volunteer efforts, they organise exciting fundraising events throughout the year, fostering a strong sense of community and belonging.

Imagine laughter-filled fun at our summer fair, the magic of our Christmas market, or the thrill of our spectacular fireworks night – these are just a taste of the events the FPA brings to life. In addition, they run a well-stocked uniform shop, offering new and pre-loved items to support families.

However the FPA’s impact goes far beyond fun events. Their dedication translates into tangible improvements for our students. As a result of their fundraising efforts, they have funded a variety of projects across the school, these are just some examples of the projects the FPA has helped to fund:

  • Indoor Cricket nets in the Sports Hall
  • Refurbishment of the Early Years outdoor playground
  • Refurbishment of both Libraries in the Prep School and Senior School, designed to support individual study and comfortable reading
  • Interactive whiteboard systems in both the Prep School and Senior School
  • Provision of wi-fi tablets for Senior School pupils taking BTEC Physical Education and Business Studies
  • Equipment for the Senior School Duke of Edinburgh Award schemes
  • New sound systems for both Ferens Hall and the School Chapel
  • Events ranging from Santa visits to Drama workshops
  • Prep School garage murals
