What The Good Schools Guide says..
Every so often, we visit a school which is enjoying a real purple patch and getting most things right. Parental plaudits say it more succinctly than we could - ‘It hasn’t sacrificed values for academic successes,’ and ‘They are unwavering in their advice, honest and direct.’ The arts are thriving - modern, bright art block (two large rooms with high ceilings for painting, ceramics etc) doubtless contributes to the healthy number of art scholarships gained by pupils, who can use it whenever they like in free time. Singing is a popular choice and nearly…

Headmaster
Since 2004, Father Simon Everson BA Cert in theology (50s). Educated at Caterham School, studied theology at Leeds Collegiate and Ripon College, followed by three year certificate in theology awarded by Oxford University. An Anglican curate and vicar in London for 14 years, he moved to Hurstpierpoint College as senior chaplain in 1996. Following his conversion to Catholicism, he was appointed as chaplain and teacher at Farleigh in 1999, then head five years later.
A modest, softly spoken and self-effacing man, he doesn’t engage his inner salesman straight away - prospective parents take note and beware of making snap judgements.

Special Education Needs
Due to the very nature of learning, all pupils require support at some time in their school life, whether it is educational, social or emotional. Support for our young learners includes literacy, numeracy, study skills, gross and fine motor skills, access to word processing and support with organisation. In school, the Learning Support team works with the staff, both individually and through INSET, so that they too feel informed and supported in working with all aspects of special educational needs. Our provision of support for learning includes the use of educational psychologists, speech therapists, occupational therapists and child therapists who work in the areas of social and emotional development. The ISI inspection report of 2003 remarked 'The teaching within the Learning Support Centre is excellent. It is highly skilled, well organised and appropriate to the needs of the pupils and is a major factor in the progress made by pupils.' An exciting new area for us is working to meet the needs of our able and gifted pupils.
