South Farnham School, Farnham

In its own words: "South Farnham School stands on two sites sitting, as the name suggests, south of Farnham. The infants are taught at the Bourne site and the juniors in Menin Way. South Farnham School stands on an attractive 7 acre site."

From the headteacher's welcome: "Education is a vitally important process and it is right that you should try to find out more about the opportunities and resources that are available for your children. As you make your way through this site, I trust that what will unfold is an indication of the philosophy of our school."

The school runs after-school care.
