"A Great Place to Send Your Child"

I sent my daughter to Farringdon Academy for three years and was thoroughly impressed with the school. The teachers were always approachable, and the facilities were excellent. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the school was going through a bit of a transition during my time there.
