Farney Close has achieved a number of awards during the past few years. Ofsted inspects the schools educational provision approximately once every three years, and its care provision on a more regularly yearly basis. Uniquely, this means that since 2006 the school has been inspected 6 times and has been awarded “Outstanding” status on every occasion. Details of the awards, as well as our inspection reports are available via the link above. |

The school has held this award for the last four years and it was the first independent special school in the country to achieve it. The award has 4 core themes that are particularly suited to support our pupils: PSHE (Including drugs and sexual relationship education), Healthy Eating, Physical activity, and Emotional Health and Well being (including bullying) |

The work on this project has brought an even greater focus on how we can help our pupils when they leave the school and to identify more clearly the options they have available to them. It has also helped to us to guide pupils better who are moving from Year 9 into Year 10 when choosing their subject options and understanding how this might affect what they go on to study when they go to College. At the moment the school is one only 12 schools in West Sussex to achieve the award and only the second special school to do so in the region. |

Loraine Rigglesford, head of maths was nominated for the prestigious National Teacher Award and managed to attain a brilliant 3rd place in the Special Educational Needs category. This is a real accolade for Loraine and I know that it is one she is proud of and that we, as a staff group, are also proud. |
