What the school inspection says

“Farmor’s is a happy school ... [Pupils] say that their teachers are kind and thoughtful and that they enjoy their lessons ... [They] say that ‘’you can be who you are without judgment’. They describe a community in which pupils of all year groups work together, support each other and that is very tolerant ... The curriculum is sufficiently demanding in most subjects ... Staff have high expectations of pupils in class and, as a result, they work hard ... Pupils make many contributions to the wider life of the school ... Careers education and guidance are strong and used well by pupils. The school provides good-quality, meaningful opportunities for pupils to encounter the world of work ... [It] has effective systems in place to support pupils to develop positive attitudes to learning.”

*Ofsted no longer makes an overall effectiveness judgment in inspections of state-funded schools. A five-point grading scale, including a new “exceptional” grade was introduced in November 2025.
