HEADTEACHER'S WELCOME

_________

Our vision at Farlingaye is very clear. We want our students to be taught by brilliant teachers, to learn to love different subjects, and to develop a sense that they are part of a wider community where their actions matter and their contribution is valued.

We want our students to excel here, to gain the skills and develop the qualities needed to go on and succeed in their future roles and careers beyond Farlingaye. We also want to foster the passions and interests that our students hold in the future, by offering a chance for our students to involve themselves in a broad range of extra-curricular provision that enables them to participate in activities that develop resilience, teamwork and a sense of pride. We are hugely proud of what’s on offer at Farlingaye, from the range of sporting opportunity through to the music, art and drama that so many participate in. Our aim therefore is to ensure that Farlingaye is a beacon of excellence in all it does. As a staff we strive to ensure that every area of our school is the best it can be, and are committed to being restless in order to achieve this goal. We are humble, keen to learn from others and aim to keep developing. We believe that all our key stakeholders - students, parents, staff and governors - have a key role in helping us further improve.

A student’s time at school should leave a lasting legacy on shaping the person they become – all our staff play a part in making that happen. Work with us as part of the Farlingaye community in an environment that helps you develop and progress in your career.

Mr Peter Smith, Headteacher
