From the Farnborough Road Infant School
Thank you for visiting the website for Farnborough Road Infant School on behalf of the students, staff, and governors.
We are a four-form entry infant school in Southport, a seaside community, where we educate kids between the ages of 2 and 7.
We think a child's attitudes toward learning are shaped during the first years in school.
Children can develop into confident, independent learners who accept individual diversity and our deeply held social, spiritual, cultural, and moral values in our school's joyful, safe, and nurturing environment.
We collaborate with parents and carers to create learning that is customised to each child's unique requirements.
To guarantee that your child may reach their greatest potential, we never get comfortable and constantly work to enhance learning opportunities and promote high standards of behaviour.
Farnborough Road Infant School provides great personal, developmental, and welfare services for the kids in our care, and I couldn't be more proud of that.
The headteacher and her staff have established a welcoming and upbeat classroom atmosphere where students feel secure and content.
Parents praise the staff for being personable and for providing excellent care for their kids, especially those with special needs.
I'm always happy to show potential students and parents around our school so they can experience it firsthand if they would want to see it in action.
Please do not hesitate to inquire in the school office if you need a paper copy of the information on our school website.
