"Generally happy with the school, but some areas for improvement"

We've been at Farrington Gurney for a few years now, and while we're generally happy with the school, there are a few areas where we think improvement is needed. The teaching staff are mostly great, but we've had some issues with communication and consistency. Still, our child is happy and learning well.

"A wonderful school with a strong sense of community"

My children attended Farrington Gurney from Reception to Year 6, and we loved every minute of it. The school's commitment to environmental sustainability is impressive, and the climate action plan is a great example of this. Our children thrived in a supportive and inclusive environment.
