Farlington School

We chose a school for my daughter on the recommendation of friends with whom children studied there. For us, this step was positive in all respects. At school, Mia was able to really open up in communication with students, she had a good relationship with teachers and girls at school. After the first year of study, we noticed that she became much more independent and active. In terms of her studies, she liked the way subjects were taught. The material is quite voluminous. She had to do a lot more than she did in a Russian school. In total, she spent 3 years in Farlington and then entered the University of Westminster.

My daughter entered school in 2020. Just in the middle of a pandemic. Part of the training was conducted remotely, so the feedback will be mostly about teachers and the curriculum. I liked that in such a short time the employees were able to debug the distance learning system. There were almost no overlaps. Of course, my daughter had just started her studies, came to us for the holidays, and then she had to stay late, as the children were transferred to a distance. I really wanted to go back to the guesthouse to my friends. A month later, she was able to return back, for the boarding at the end of the trimester they made a recalculation, which is nice, because I know that not all schools did this.

There is a double opinion about the school. We wanted to choose a classical school for the child, where there would be mainly local students. Here it turned out that in the school itself there are really quite a lot of local children. But the boarding house is completely international. Academic training is at an intermediate level. The staff is really interested in making the children comfortable, so that there are no conflicts and bullying. During the study, there were never any conflicts with the staff.

We visited this school, so I will also write a comment, if someone will find it useful. The school, in general, after the visit left a positive impression. The staff at the guesthouse seemed very good-natured and friendly. The school is well renovated, quite spacious classrooms and rooms where children live. But we did not choose this option because of the location. The child insisted that he wanted to study in a large city, so in the end he chose the option in Cambridge.
