About Farlingaye High School
Farlingaye High School is a popular and successful school, located in Woodbridge, a pleasant market town situated on the River Deben in Suffolk and just 7 miles from Ipswich. We are a creative school with excellent resources, lovely students and great results. Our most recent Ofsted report graded us Good with Outstanding areas.
We are part of East Anglian Schools Trust (EAST) alongside Kesgrave High School, Bungay High School and Castle East School. The Trust have also recently welcomed Aldeburgh, Easton, Leiston, Saxmundham and Wickham Market primary schools. We are a Teaching School Hub partner, which allows us to improve teaching and learning on a continuous basis. We are committed to providing excellent staff opportunities through developing and promoting our staff and offering an excellent CPD and support programme for new staff. We are also extremely pleased to have launched our own teacher training provider: EAST SCITT. This allows us to award QTS and also QTS + PGCE Programmes within both Primary and Secondary schools.
As a potential new member of staff you may want to know what sets Farlingaye apart from other schools? We think Farlingaye is a special environment for students to learn and staff to work. We strive for excellence, and to strike a balance between innovative and consistent classroom practice, examination success, but also to give students a memorable school experience through fantastic and inspiring extra-curricular provision.

Values and Vision
Our vision at Farlingaye is very clear. We want our students to be taught by brilliant teachers, to learn to love different subjects, and to develop a sense that they are part of a wider community where their actions matter and their contribution is valued.
We want our students to excel here, to gain the skills and develop the qualities needed to go on and succeed in their future roles and careers beyond Farlingaye. We also want to foster the passions and interests that our students hold in the future, by offering a chance for our students to involve themselves in a broad range of extra-curricular provision that enables them to participate in activities that develop resilience, teamwork and a sense of pride. We are hugely proud of what’s on offer at Farlingaye, from the range of sporting opportunity through to the music, art and drama that so many participate in. Our aim therefore is to ensure that Farlingaye is a beacon of excellence in all it does. As a staff we strive to ensure that every area of our school is the best it can be, and are committed to being restless in order to achieve this goal. We are humble, keen to learn from others and aim to keep developing. We believe that all our key stakeholders - students, parents, staff and governors - have a key role in helping us further improve.
A student’s time at school should leave a lasting legacy on shaping the person they become – all our staff play a part in making that happen. Work with us as part of the Farlingaye community in an environment that helps you develop and progress in your career.
