"Excellent School with a Family Feel"

We moved to Sunderland for work and were worried about our child settling into a new school. Farringdon Community Academy has been a revelation - the staff are friendly, the facilities are excellent and the homework policy is just right. I would highly recommend this school to anyone in the area.
