Farleigh is a leading co-educational IAPS boarding and day prep school, for children aged 3-13, located in the beautiful Test Valley of Hampshire, near Andover (Army HQ), Middle Wallop, Salisbury and Winchester, and just over an hour from London. Boarders and day pupils alike benefit from excellent teaching and academic outcomes, together with pastoral care of the highest standard, in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The school's Catholic identity, which is caring and values every individual, enables pupils of all abilities to thrive and produces confident, open and thoughtful young people.
Don’t just take our word for it. The Week Independent Schools Guide recently named Farleigh ‘Best for pastoral care’, remarking that “pupils contribute to pastoral care via a school council, new children are supported by a ‘shepherd’ to help them settle in, and inter-year ‘buddy’ programmes encourage friendships across the school. A thriving boarding community strengthens relationships among pupils.” The Good School Guide adds that Farleigh is “a school abundant with joy, nurturing compassionate, reflective and hardworking children, well prepared for top notch senior schools and a meaningful life beyond.”
Farleigh offers wraparound care, holiday courses and several local transport routes, as well as an escorted train service to London Waterloo (stopping at Fleet Services en route) for boarders at exeats and half-term
A school that sparkles with energy, enquiry and fulfilment, close to Army headquarters in Andover and Middle Wallop.
