Does anyone know anything about Farringtons school in Chislehurst?

We really love the atmosphere, grounds and the emphasis on there being more to life than results but want reassurance that a bright child would still be stretched there. Would so appreciate any info anyone can give us as we are new to the area

What year would you be looking at? My dd went there for a couple of years in the junior school(only left because we moved.

She used to tell us herself, that her and friend used to finish their work before the others in the class. So they were both given extra work sheets to do whilst the rest finished off the initial sheets.

There was never a big deal made about them doing extra work but they were gently stretched in most lessons and they thoroughly enjoyed it.

We had no issues with the work levels, they always used to adjust it appropriately and kept the children happy.

Did get a lot of homework but dd used to enjoy it. Yes I know sad.lol

Thanks for this Sushiqueen. We would be starting her in reception with the hope that she would remain there until at least year 6.
