As part of our Life Skills programme, we were lucky to be joined by Horsham Neighbourhood Youth Officer PC Sally Scott from Horsham Police at our Middle and Senior School assemblies this week 👏 Drawing on her experience of working in support of schools across the borough, PC Scott shared her advice on personal safety, both online and offline, helping students to reflect on choices and consequences. 'Real World' experiences such as this are a key element of the Farlington MIRROR Learning Framework, enriching students’ learning and preparing them to tackle real-life challenges. Many thanks to PC Scott for visiting us. #iamfarlington #wearefarlington #onlinesafety #personalsafety Sussex Police

Year 4 Pupil Equestrian Success

Year 4 Farlington pupil Daisy recently enjoyed an outstanding experience at the British Riding Club Championships, qualifying for two prestigious classes: Dressage to Music and Prelim Dressage. Qualifying for the championships was a significant achievement in itself, particularly as the junior category includes riders up to the age of 18. A valued member of Farlington’s thriving Equestrian team, Daisy competed alongside some of the country’s top young riders with her horse, Harry, delivering a superb performance in the Dressage to Music Championship to secure a top-ten finish. Their routine stood out for its originality, with Daisy being the only competitor to perform to pop music - an unusual and memorable choice that impressed both spectators and judges alike.  In the Prelim Dressage Championship, Daisy and Harry once again performed incredibly well, improving on their qualifying score by an impressive 3%, and finishing comfortably in the middle of a highly competitive field of more than 40 riders. These championships marked another important milestone in Daisy’s riding career, reflecting not only her dedication and hard work, but also the confidence and independence she continues to develop through her sport. Congratulations to Daisy and Harry on their fantastic achievements. We can’t wait to see what you do next!

Year 10 Drama Student Success

Earlier this month, Iszy in Year 10 proudly represented the Drama department at Farlington by entering several monologues into the prestigious National Monologue Competition, a nationwide event celebrating young acting talent from Primary through to Sixth Form across both the north and south regions of the UK. We were absolutely delighted to receive the fantastic news this week that Iszy has been selected for the Regional Southern Finals in not just one, but two monologue categories - an incredible achievement and a true testament to her dedication, creativity and performance skills. The finals will take place in May in a West End theatre, giving Iszy the exciting opportunity to perform on one of the country’s most inspiring stages. This success reflects not only Iszy’s exceptional talent and hard work, but also the vibrant and ambitious culture of Drama at Farlington. The department continues to provide pupils with a wide range of opportunities to develop confidence, creativity and performance experience, both within school productions and through national competitions such as this. From rehearsals and workshops to live performances, pupils are encouraged to find their voice and express themselves with confidence. Iszy’s achievement also perfectly embodies the ‘O’ for Oracy within Farlington’s MIRROR framework for pupil success. Through Drama, pupils develop the ability to communicate clearly, perform confidently, articulate ideas thoughtfully and connect with an audience, all vital skills that extend far beyond the stage and into every aspect of school life and future success. We could not be more proud of Iszy and all she has achieved already. She is a brilliant ambassador for Farlington and an inspiration to other young performers across the school community. Congratulations, Iszy, we’ll all be cheering you on in the finals!

On Wednesday 22nd April, Farlington students Maisie, Iszy and Amelie proudly stood amongst a group of 22 others taking part in a 22-minute silent vigil on Whitehall in London, in support of the Lobular Moon Shot Project. The 22 participants represented the 22 people diagnosed with lobular breast cancer every day in the UK. The second most common type of breast cancer, the disease frequently fails to be detected on a mammogram or by ultrasound, and there is currently no specific treatment available. The Lobular Moon Shot Project was launched in Horsham in 2023 and is the subject of the short film 'Eve Groves', produced by Fact Not Fiction Films and featuring former Farlington student Millie. The project is now the most bipartisan politically supported campaign in British history, with 461 MPs calling on the government to fund a five-year £20 million research project on the disease, in the hope of developing a treatment. Farlington Deputy Head Mrs Gilbert says, "We are so proud of Maisie, Iszy and Amelie for putting themselves forward to stand amongst the other brave participants at this very moving and emotional event, in support of such an important cause." Thank you to Tristan Loraine, Project Manager of the Lobular Moon Shot Project, for inviting Farlington students to take part in the vigil. #iamfarlington #wearefarlington #lobularbreastcancer #standingtogether #silentvigil
