The building includes facilities such as training rooms, computers and a crèche. It offers training and courses to local residents and is a meeting point for local residents and community groups. It hosts a regular community day four times a year, hosting the army, the RAF and many other organisations there. Following the Education Act (2002), Farringdon became a specialist Sports College, which had always been a focus of the school in the past. Formally, it became known as a Farringdon Community Sports College. As a result, floodlit tennis courts and a pavilion with a dance studio and a large multi-gym have been built. The school converted to academy status on 1 July 2013 and was renamed Farringdon Community Academy. In 2018 the headteacher, Mr H. Kemp, retired and a new headteacher, Mr N. Holder, joined the school.
