hi there, I am currently studying at farnborough 6th form college, having left Farnborough Hill in 2010. Although I did enjoy my time at the school, mainly from the friend aspect I do not recommend it. My sister also went to Farnborough hill, leaving in 2008, and she shared a similar experience to me and the only reason my parents sent me there was so that it would be fair. In all honesty, FH is very cliquey, in my school year, 3 girls out of 100 fell pregnant. This is not necessarily a reflection on the school itself but I am just mentioning this point so that incase you think that by sending your daughter to a private school she will not be mixing with some of the people you may find in a state school you realise that is not the case. If anything it can be worse as the girls, majority of them coming from wealthy families think they can get away with drinking alcohol and doing drugs all the whilst expecting that they will also have the sorts of families they grew up in when they are older. I had many friends at tomlinscote whilst I was at FH, and i truly know that if i were to do this all over again, i would have received a very similar education there. The fees are expensive; being roughly £4500 a term and getting more and more expensive. I remember the open days where the headmistress would be all smiles with all the girls and you would see the fantastic grounds of the school and be in awe. but the truth is, the girls at these open days are hand picked and if you are not in the top of the year, you dont stand much of a chance of being able to stand up there with your peers. I am not catholic, and though they pride themselves on not forcing religion at you, there were countless times when a few friends and I would be told off for not receiving communion or approaching the alter. We would be perfectly respectful, silent and appreciate their religion but still would be in trouble. My parents were also thoroughly unimpressed in yr 10/11when the time came for FH to pitch their 6th form to you. Instead of focusing on the 'merits' of their own 6th fo,rm they would fault others ie the 6th form college. we thought this was in bad taste and a reflection on the pettiness of the school. All in all, i am not saying that FH is an awful school, however, i am saying that the reason you would pay for your daughter's education is to get a bit more back from the establishment in comparison to other state schools in the area. There is no aspect in which farnborough Hill particularly excels which in my opinion stands to question, why pay for education in an elitist snobby institution?
