The institution was founded in 1911 and initially took only girls for studying: the first students were the daughters of the followers of the local Methodist church (the official religion of the school is still Methodism, but children of any religion can study here).

In 1994, the school merged with another female boarding house, Stratford House (founded in 2012): the joint educational institution began working in Farringtons School and was named Farringtons and Stratford House, but in 2004 it returned to the original Farringtons School. Since 2010, boys began to take up studying: at first only in senior, graduating classes, and since 2014 and on the other steps, and at school the mixed type of studying was completely accepted.
