Info

A Sporting Life... Farsley Farfield is a very strong sporting school. We aim to provide a broad and balanced curriculum for all children both through P.E lessons during school time and our wide variety of sporting activities out of school hours. We aim to provide two hours of good-quality PE for each child each week. We have achieved the prestigious Activemark Gold award. We take all Year 4 children for the whole academic year to lovely, historic Bramley Baths. We aim for all children to be able to swim at least 25m unaided. A child that is unable to swim to that standard at the end of Year 4 may be given the opportunity for additional lessons in Year 5. Our school grounds are second-to-none locally, and in the summer we have two artificial cricket wickets and nets to further promote that sport. We are very proud that our cricket team were West Yorkshire champions in 20<strong>06</strong>! We have excellent links with Priesthorpe Specialist Sports College, and benefit from specialist teaching and other sports coaches that they provide or broker. We have a lot of sporting talent on the staff including a teacher that has swum for Great Britain, a prominent local cyclist and a semi-professional footballer. As well as football and cricket, we regularly take part in competitions in netball, tag rugby, rounders, swimming, cycling, athletics and cross country.
Smart kids... We encourage all children from Reception upwards to wear school uniform. The children may wear: a burgundy or grey sweat top, jumper or cardigan; white polo shirt, blouse or shirt; grey trousers, jogging bottoms, skirt or pinafore; burgundy check summer dress. Some children choose to wear the school tie. Uniform is available from ‘The Skool Shop’ on Farsley Town Street. All children from Year 3 upwards are required to wear indoor shoes for hygiene and to help keep our school clean. Younger pupils may bring a change of footwear if they wish. P.E. kit is a white t-shirt and black leggings or shorts. For outdoor P.E. all children will need warm suitable clothing and footwear depending on the time of year and activity. All items of clothing should be clearly named.
