It Read…

The tournament was used as the qualification route to the City Finals and, as such, there was fierce competition. Farfield were placed in a group with Holy Family, Lowtown and Coop Read…

We have had an exceptionally busy week at Farfield. Ofsted came on Tuesday for a long-awaited inspection. This was a new light-touch Section 8-type inspection: one day with just one inspector. She had clearly done her homework on the school and she worked exceptionally hard, at 100mph, all day. The final report is not Read…

Cars were being turned back or abandoned. Buses were snarled up. Everyone, including the council, was caught out. Read…
