Farleigh College Activities
A variety of activities for students are available in the evenings and at the weekends. These range from sporting activities and purely recreational pastimes to more demanding educational activities. Due to the beautiful setting of Farleigh College Frome we take full advantage of the environment and what it has to offer. Leisure is given a high priority as it is part of building self-confidence and self-belief.
Sport and leisure activities include:
- Cinema and bowling
- Visits to local cadets and youth clubs
- Football
- Swimming
- Mountain biking
- Computer games
- Cooking activities
- CDT (model making and woodwork)
- Photography
- A music mixing room
- Caving and climbing
- Canoeing
- Badminton
- Snooker and pool
- Weight training
- Gardening
- Animal husbandry
- Horse riding
- Duke of Edinburgh Award
- Golf
In addition, arrangements can be made for students to attend external groups such as Tai Kwon Do, Karate and Army Cadets. Class trips and treats also happen during lesson times, usually as a reward for good behaviour. These are often a trip to a café, which is a good way to practise social skills or a walk in local woods.
Each group also has an end of term trip. In the past these have included visiting places such as London, Longleat Safari Park, Bristol Zoo, Cheddar Caves, Centre Parcs, seaside trips and bowling followed by a pizza.
