From the Farnborough Primary School
We are a warm and inviting school that fosters a family environment in a setting where each kid is respected as an individual. Together, our parents and staff play a crucial part in assisting us in achieving the best results for our kids. At Farnborough, we want our students to be independent, self-assured learners who work hard to realise their full potential and cultivate a lifelong love of learning. We think that children learn best when they feel secure, content, and appreciated. We make an effort to create this kind of environment so that our students can grow and develop the abilities and traits necessary to be polite and diligent citizens. To inspire our kids, we offer a wide-ranging, well-balanced curriculum; we also honour not only academic achievement but also the holistic development of the child. Resilience, independence, and a positive outlook on all facets of school life are qualities we appreciate and strive to foster. We have high expectations of our children, whether that is applying themselves to their learning in the classroom, having good manners with everyone they meet or when taking part in one of the many enrichment opportunities outside the classroom. We hold ourselves to a high standard as a committed team. In order to give our kids the best opportunity possible, we regularly evaluate and improve our teaching. We are eager to collaborate with all of our kids and their families. Mrs. C. Browne is the head of school and Miss A. James is the principal.
