Farley Junior Academy is a happy and thriving learning community. Pupils feel safe and confident to be themselves. Staff are aspirational for pupils’ achievement. Staff teach pupils to develop highly effective learning behaviours. This helps pupils to succeed in all areas of the well-developed curriculum. Pupils, including those with special educational needs and/or disabilities (SEND), achieve very well. Pupils behave impeccably well, embracing the one school rule of ‘be kind’. High levels of respect, kindness and understanding permeate through everything pupils do. Pupils recognise and celebrate diversity within the school community. They are proud to be part of the ‘Farley family’. Pupils actively make their school an amazing place to learn. They know that staff value their opinion and voice. They share ideas for improving the school with regular visits to the ‘moon room’ (headteacher’s office) and requests to staff. Pupil ambassadors make changes, such as scooter challenges at lunchtime or the hula hoop dancing challenge, so that pupils have a more active lunchtime. Pupils attend a range of trips and clubs that give them a rich set of experiences. They enjoy having lunch at the Farley restaurant where they learn important social skills and about healthy eating.
