Vision:

William Farr (C of E) Comprehensive School's vision is to provide all members of the school community with the opportunities to engage with 'life in all its fullness' (John 10:10) through the highest quality of education, encouragement and endeavour. We are committed to striving for excellence and ensuring that all students are known, valued and can achieve.

Values:

Our core values are:

Compassion    Friendship        Perseverance 
Respect           Responsibility   Wisdom

Each value is associated with one of our Houses.

The students consistently attain high standards of grades, and their behaviour in lessons and around the school is exemplary - not only do they respect one another, but they have respectful and excellent relationships with all the staff.

Important Information for Year 6 Parents:

Unfortunately, due to Covid-19 restrictions, we are unable to host our usual whole school Open Evening in September. To allow Year 6 parents and students the opportunity to ‘experience’ our fantastic school, we invite you to look through our school website, which encapsulates the wealth of opportunities students have to engage in life in all its fullness (John 10:10) through receiving the highest quality of education where students are known, valued and supported to achieve (our school vision). We are currently producing a virtual tour of the school, which will be available on the school website shortly.  If any Year 6 parents and students did not have the opportunity to visit our school last year and would like to have a personal tour, please contact the school on 01673 866900 to book an appointment. Please note that due to protection measures, we ask that there are no more than 3 people in the visiting party (including the child) and that face coverings are worn whilst on site.

 We look forward to welcoming you to William Farr Church of England Comprehensive School, where our core values of responsibility, respect, perseverance, friendship, wisdom and compassion form an integral part of our daily lives.
