William Farr CofE Comprehensive School

We are proud of our continuing success
in competitive sport and the reputation
gained by the teams regularly at district,
county, regional and national level.
We also support individuals who are
selected to compete for regional and
national teams.
Students are encouraged to develop
individual skills and teamwork and to
strive for excellence regardless of their
natural ability

In an increasingly technological society, it is essential to provide balance in the curriculum if creativity, self-confidence and expression are not to be suppressed. Students are encouraged to play musical
instruments and a large number receive
tuition from specialist teachers. The
orchestra, choir, instrumental groups
and individuals perform regularly, often
supported by professional musicians in
workshops and concerts.

The school has a long tradition of travel, both locally and
internationally. Without exception, all departments enhance what
they teach with a myriad of trips and experiences. Our World Challenge programme has
meant our students have been able to
experience life in far-off places. Students have travelled all over the globe, including
Peru, Madagascar, India, Vietnam, Nepal,
Morocco, Borneo, Nicaragua, Cambodia,
Thailand and Costa Rica. There are regular ski trips as well to Italy and
study visits to America and Russia.
