On Thursday 4th March we will be celebrating 'World Book Day'. Obviously, everything is a little different at the moment, therefore the children have been invited to join their literacy lessons dressed up as their favourite book character. The children will then be challenged to guess the name of the book that they are from.
The staff have also been taking part, and please see below their 'guess my favourite book' scene, Please email in your guesses to the school office (bursar@farthinghoe.northants-ecl.gov.uk)

We are a small village primary school located on the borders of South Northamptonshire and Oxfordshire within 5 miles of Brackley. Due to small class sizes we are able to offer a high adult to child ratio delivering a broad and balanced curriculum.
I hope that this website provides an introduction to our school, its philosophy and organisation. In order to experience what I believe are the special qualities of Farthinghoe Primary School, I invite you to arrange a visit to discuss your child’s education and to view the school at work. Mrs Wendy Whitehouse Head Teacher |
