Farnborough Spencer Academy

About Farnborough Spencer Academy

It is a great honour to be the Head of School and Executive Principal at Farnborough Spencer Academy. We are incredibly proud to be part of the Farnborough family, serving the wider Clifton community—a community with a strong spirit and deep-rooted values.

At Farnborough, we are driven by the belief that every child deserves the very best education, and it is our unwavering commitment to ensure that each of our students is given the opportunity to achieve academically and personally. We have the highest expectations for all our young people, our families and our community to ensure we reach our full potential.

We talk about "gold standards" because we truly mean it. Our gold uniform is not just a symbol of identity—it represents our shared values of excellence, pride, and aspiration. It reminds us daily of what we aim for: the highest standards in learning, behaviour, and community spirit.

We believe that schools are most successful when they are at the heart of their community and we work closely with local families and organisations to ensure that Farnborough continues to be a place where children are celebrated, challenged, and supported every step of the way.

We have a modern building with fabulous sport, technology, art and science facilities. However, the building is not what makes Farnborough special – it’s our community. Therefore, we urge you to pay us a visit. We love showing people around and sharing our story.

What makes us Farnborough Gold?
Children, parents and staff want to be here because it is a vibrant, inclusive, and supportive environment where both staff and students flourish. We celebrate diversity, achievement, and community, making our school a truly happy and inspiring place to be. Recognised as a beacon of best practice in Inclusion and SEND, we are deeply committed to helping every child achieve their very best. Staff are seen as golden threads—vital connections in each student’s journey—who help unlock potential and raise aspirations. With a strong focus on improving outcomes and an extensive CPD programme, we empower our team to grow, lead, and make a real difference every day. We are Proud and wear Gold uniform to signify our ambition.
