Farlington School has announced that it will welcome boys into its reception class in September 2018.
The decision was made by the governors and senior leadership team, in a gradual move towards becoming a co-educational prep-school. Only the nursery and reception class in September 2018 will have both boys and girls, with no change to the arrangements in the senior school or sixth form.
Louise Higson, headmistress at Farlington School, commented: “This is a significant and exciting change for the school. The Farlington ethos of inspiring and educating the individual will always remain. We know that girls and boys learn in different ways and this will be reflected in our teaching methods in the classroom. We are looking forward to giving our new co-educational reception class of September 2018 a very warm welcome to the Farlington community.”
