Farsley Lights parade is one of my favourite events of the school year. It gets better and better, especially now we have a growing array of willow creations bringing the procession to life. Building on last year’s success, we had a Children’s Books theme this time and some of our children contributed parts of Read…

I think this week has been the busiest I can remember for school tours for prospective families: four separate tours with at least a dozen families. I always enjoy these walk-arounds of the school and its grounds, confident that we will see good practice and happy, engaged children wherever we look. Often it is Read…

It’s mild but there is a definite autumnal feel to the school as we have returned from half term. We are now into welly season across the grounds but it is good to be able to use our lovely space all year round, whatever the weather. On Saturday morning we have our first major Read…

It has been a very long half-term – eight weeks – and staff and children alike have earned a good half-term break. Our Reception children have generally settled in well and our new staff have all made really strong starts to their time at Farfield. Parents’ evenings this week went well and there was Read…
