EDUCATION

IN ASSOCIATION WITH

Flexi-Boarding at Farringtons
Farringtons School is in a unique position within its location in that it has a thriving
boarding community as well as day pupils.

In addition to full and weekly boarding, Farringtons
is able to offer flexi-boarding in order to help with
the busy lifestyles that many families have. If
parents need to be away for business or pleasure
or find themselves with urgent family
commitments, pupils can board and enjoy the
clubs and activities available to all our boarders.
Flexi-boarding is popular with students who have
a long journey to school and want to attend
before or after school clubs. It is also the perfect
solution for pupils who want to prioritise studying

around the exam periods or prepare prior to
moving away to university.
Families can opt for an occasional sleepover at
school or choose to board on a regular basis of
two or three nights a week.
Set in 25 acres of beautiful parkland in Chislehurst,
Farringtons has excellent facilities and offers a
wide range of sports and extra-curricular activities.
With most pupils proceeding to higher education,
academic standards are high; each pupil is

encouraged to strive to reach his or her full
potential. Academic success is due to small
classes, dedicated staff and supportive teaching,
ensuring each pupil receives the individual
attention needed. Academic achievement, as
well as the all-round development of the individual,
is of prime importance at Farringtons.
Full, weekly or flex-boarding is available to pupils
at Farringtons in Years 7 – 13. For further
