Values and vision

Faringdon Community College considers its ultimate goal to be academic success for pupils. Teachers seek to achieve this by instilling a work ethic and a sense of personal responsibility in students, as well as recognising and harnessing the innate individualism and talents of each young person.

As a part of Faringdon Academy of Schools, the school has strong ties to the local community and seeks to develop connections with local institutions for the benefit of students.

Ofsted report

“There has been a strong focus on raising the quality of teaching and the proportion of good or better lessons is increasing. Most teaching is good and some is outstanding. Excellent relationships between teachers and students, and between students themselves, contribute to a positive atmosphere for learning and there is very good individual support for students in lessons."
