History

Previously a community school administered by Suffolk County Council, Farlingaye High School converted to academy status on 1 July 2011. However the school continues to coordinate with Suffolk County Council for admissions.
The school was first rated outstanding by Ofsted under the leadership of the previous head teacher Sue Hargadon. She was head teacher at Farlingaye for 20 years up until summer 2016, when she retired. The new and current headteacher of the school is Dr. Andy Sievewright.
On 25 January 2018, the school became the 5th school in the UK to become a member of the "Schools: Partners of The Future" initiative, a global network of 2,000 schools which "place a high value on German".
On 1 September 2019, the school partnered with Bungay High School and Kesgrave High School to establish a new multi-academy trust, called East Anglian Schools Trust. Farlingaye is currently the registered office address of the new multi-academy trust.
