Juicing time!
This week the juicer has come out to make good use of the bountiful apple harvest. Much of the windfall goes to the pigs, but windfall that is in reasonable condition makes great juice too. The juicer is also the best place for any ‘ugly’ fruit. It is quite a process: lots of chopping, Read…

Headteacher blog 12th September 2025
The school has settled well into its new school year. We had our first PTA business meeting on Wednesday: planning the programme of events for the year and agreeing some expenditure.

Headteacher blog 5th September 2025
It’s great to be back for another academic year at Farsley Farfield: my 22nd year as head here!

It has been great to welcome new teachers to school: a new deputy head/SENDco Read…

Camp-Over 2025 is a hot one!
We had 80 families camping and about 750 on-site for last weekend’s PTA Camp-Over. We think that the first was in 2014 and we missed a couple due to COVID, so this was probably our 10th event: the biggest and probably one of the best! We had a brilliant time in our water fight Read…

The Penultimate Week Draws to a Close…
Despite getting closer to the end of the year, we have all been hard at work and have managed to pack so much into a single week! The highlight was obviously sports day, where the children did their absolute best in spite of the heat and seemed to really enjoy themselves overall. Photographs from Read…
