At Farthinghoe Primary School, we are all strongly committed to creating a community within which all children are fully supported to fulfil their potential both academically and personally.
I have had the pleasure and privilege of leading schools within the Warriner Trust for a number of years, both in my previous role as Headteacher and more recently as Executive Headteacher. Having recently joined Farthinghoe, as Executive Headteacher, I am excited to be part of the leadership team in a primary school where children are at the heart of everything and are challenged to be their best! I hope that as you explore our website, you get a flavour of this unique culture and feel that our school is one where your child can flourish. Dr Annabel Kay Executive Headteacher |
I am proud to be the Head of School at Farthinghoe Primary School. Having been the Deputy Head here for the last five years and lead teacher in EYFS and KS1, I am in the fortunate position to be able to say that I have taught every child in the school and know them and their families very well.
I am privileged to be part of a small but amazing team of teachers, teaching assistants and office staff, who are dedicated, committed, caring and hardworking. We are a team who really care about each other, and this reflects in our care for the children and their families.
Farthinghoe Primary School is caring and inclusive whilst recognising individuality. Our aim is that all our children will enjoy their school life, be happy, have enquiring minds and a willingness and desire to work hard so that they reach their full academic potential whilst being in a safe and stimulating environment.
Our whole school community live by our school ethos:
Be kind, Be resilient, Be brave, Be you
At Farthinghoe, our children are at the centre of everything that we do. We recognise that their potential is further enhanced when we have a successful partnership between parents, children, teachers, and governors, sharing a common desire for learning, achieving high standards and supporting aspirational targets.
Being a teacher is a joy. Working with my team and the pupils is an honour.
Ms Sharon Turner, NPQH
Head of School

Why choose Farthinghoe Primary School for your child?
Our class sizes are small - Because our adult : pupil ratio is high, children receive a highly-personalised learning experience.
Our classes are mixed-age - Research strongly supports the idea that mixed-age classrooms are better for pupils. Not only do pupils out-perform peers of the same age academically, studies also show that they thrive socially.
Our pupils' academic achievement - Our pupils academic achievement consistently exceeds county-wide and national performance data. Recent destination schools for our pupils have included Chenderit School Middleton Cheney, Magdalen College School Brackley, Warwick School, Royal Latin School Buckingham and Stratford-Upon-Avon Girls Grammar School.
Our staff - Our team is passionate, professional and highly committed to providing the very best for our pupils. Because of our small school community we are able to offer open and regular communication between parents/carers, pupils and staff.
Our nurturing environment - Mixed age classes mean children are encouraged to care for and support each other, a skill which they learn for life and which helps to create a wonderfully positive environment for all.
Our links with the community - We are proud to be a member of the Warriner Multi Academy Trust which we chose to become a member of in September 2018. By being part of the trust we are able to retain our unique learning environment and at the same time offer wider learning opportunities to our pupils.
Our Ofsted report - We are exceptionally proud of our most recent Ofsted report which rates us as 'Outstanding'.
We enable our pupils to flourish as individuals and to have all the foundations to become confident and responsible adults.
