About Farringtons School

Farringtons School fees include exam fees for GCSEs (excluding re-sits) and homework preparation for Senior School pupils. Prep School pupils enjoy a wide range of co-curricular clubs. The school offers bursaries for Year 7 and Year 12 pupils based on financial need and a range of scholarships. Fees are payable in advance each term, with deposits required on acceptance of places. Special fee reductions apply to British Forces personnel. Specialist tuition and additional activities are charged separately.

Our take

Independent co-ed all-through school in Bromley for ages 3–18, day or boarding. Non-selective intake, Methodist ethos.

Best for
  • Families wanting one school across the whole journey (ages 3–18) rather than separate prep + senior.
  • Families who prefer a co-educational setting over single-sex.
  • Families weighing day vs boarding — both are offered.
  • Families who value a Methodist ethos in school life.
  • Families who would rather not put their child through a selective entrance assessment.
Watch-outs
  • The Methodist ethos shapes assemblies, holidays and pastoral life. Comfortable for committed families; worth thinking about for those of other or no faith.
