Welcome

"It is my pleasure to welcome you to Oak Farm Community School; an 11-16 school serving the needs of the wider community in the northern part of Farnborough. The following web pages can only give you the briefest of insights into the work of students of the school. I recommend that you take the opportunity to come to visit us in order to gain full appreciation of the very effective teamwork that staff and students take part in that enables our students to succeed.

Our diverse curriculum, particularly in Years 10 and 11, is at the forefront of curriculum development and enables youngsters to succeed and be assessed at a time and in a way that best suits their abilities. We are proud too of the standard of pastoral care that ensures that the needs of all students are recognised. Links with our community are an important aspect of our work as an extended services school, and we are pleased to report annually over 95,000 adult visits to the school to use our excellent facilities during the daytime, evening and weekends."

Mr G Earney - Headteacher


Take calculated risks. That is quite different from being rash.

If you do not hope, you will not find what is beyond your hopes.

Seek the lofty by reading, hearing and seeing great work at some moment every day.

The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.

Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need.

Experience is the child of thought, and thought is the child of action.

You cannot plough a field by turning it over in your mind.

The best way out is always through.

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking.

Nothing will ever be attempted if all possible objections must first be overcome.

Fortune favors the brave.

He who hesitates is lost.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.
