There were many schools we could have chosen in the local area to educate our children and we chose Farrowdale. The reason for this was our first impression of Farrowdale all those years ago was one of a family, friendly atmosphere where all children were treated as individuals and encouraged to be themselves. The very first day we left our son for a couple of hours having never been left with anyone, we dreaded leaving him, two hours later we went back and he was refusing to leave. At this stage, we didnt realise that my son was extremely bright for his age, Farrowdale picked up on this immediately and his curriculum was adjusted to help him stretch himself and ensure he reached his full potential.\nOver the years our son was diagnosed with Autism and we received so much support from Farrowdale, who really took the time to understand him as a person and adjust his school environment to ensure he was happy and developing socially. He grew so much in confidence and this was testament to the caring and nurturing environment that this school has been built on. Our daughter joined Farrowdale in pre school as a very shy little girl who was scared of her own shadow who never left our side. She has grown so much in confidence and her education has been everything you would want it to be. In advance of my son leaving the school for high school, they supported my request for an EHCP assesment and we began together a long road to secure him some extra support for a transition to high school. With their help we were able to secure him an EHC plan for his transfer to high school which has been hugely beneficial for him in his first two years and continues to help support him. My daughter is growing from a shy child into someone who can now stand on a stage at the age of 7 and sing to a room full of parents- this is testament to the confidence that the school instill in the children. Her reading and maths is nothing short of excellent and I am sure she will do extremely well with her upcoming SATS. In short, if you are looking for a school with a high standard of education, a nurturing environment where your child can reach their potential, with teachers and owners that genuinely care then have no hesitation in picking Farrowdale. If you have any concerns- don't, if you have any questions, stop any of the parents at drop off \/ pick up and ask them for yourself-we are a friendly bunch!","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"My first child joined Farrowdale House in Pre School nine years ago and my daughter is there now.

There were many schools we could have chosen in the local area to educate our children and we chose Farrowdale. The reason for this was our first impression of Farrowdale all those years ago was one of a family, friendly atmosphere where all children were treated as individuals and encouraged to be themselves. The very first day we left our son for a couple of hours having never been left with anyone, we dreaded leaving him, two hours later we went back and he was refusing to leave. At this stage, we didnt realise that my son was extremely bright for his age, Farrowdale picked up on this immediately and his curriculum was adjusted to help him stretch himself and ensure he reached his full potential.\nOver the years our son was diagnosed with Autism and we received so much support from Farrowdale, who really took the time to understand him as a person and adjust his school environment to ensure he was happy and developing socially. He grew so much in confidence and this was testament to the caring and nurturing environment that this school has been built on. Our daughter joined Farrowdale in pre school as a very shy little girl who was scared of her own shadow who never left our side. She has grown so much in confidence and her education has been everything you would want it to be. In advance of my son leaving the school for high school, they supported my request for an EHCP assesment and we began together a long road to secure him some extra support for a transition to high school. With their help we were able to secure him an EHC plan for his transfer to high school which has been hugely beneficial for him in his first two years and continues to help support him. My daughter is growing from a shy child into someone who can now stand on a stage at the age of 7 and sing to a room full of parents- this is testament to the confidence that the school instill in the children. Her reading and maths is nothing short of excellent and I am sure she will do extremely well with her upcoming SATS. In short, if you are looking for a school with a high standard of education, a nurturing environment where your child can reach their potential, with teachers and owners that genuinely care then have no hesitation in picking Farrowdale. If you have any concerns- don't, if you have any questions, stop any of the parents at drop off \/ pick up and ask them for yourself-we are a friendly bunch!","languageCode":"en"},"originalText":{"text":"My first child joined Farrowdale House in Pre School nine years ago and my daughter is there now.
