Lest We Forget ❤️ Today, the Farlington community came together to observe a two-minute silence to mark Armistice Day, taking a moment to remember those who have given their lives in service. We also continued our annual tradition of laying wreaths at the turning circle near Mansion House, bringing pupils and staff together in remembrance. Over the weekend, our Forest School Lead, Jane Barkway-Harney, also laid a wreath on behalf of Farlington School at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, London. Across the school, our Lower School pupils have been busy creating beautiful handmade poppies, which are now displayed throughout Farlington as a lovely tribute to those who served. We will remember them. ❤️

Pupils from Reception to Year 6 took part in the first round of the Bellevue Schools Speech Competition, showcasing their confidence, creativity and developing public speaking skills. 💫 There was a fantastic variety of well-prepared speeches on topics including Lego, Kung Fu, sharks, drumming, capybaras and cats, among many others! 🦈 The competition provided a wonderful opportunity for students to develop their communication skills, supporting the Oracy strand of our MIRROR framework. The standard was extremely high, making the judges' decisions particularly difficult. Congratulations to everyone who took part, and special congratulations to Noa (Year 5), Ayuk (Year 3), Anna (Year 2) and Raya (Reception), who have been selected to represent Farlington in the regional final next week. 👏🏼 We wish them all the very best of luck! 🤩 #iamfarlington #independentschool #togetherwecan #oracy #speechcompetition

We are delighted to share that Farlington has added 236 more trees to global reforestation efforts after our participation in JUST ONE Tree Day 2026–2027. 🌳 Before half term, our pupils came together for a £1 mufti day, raising the funds needed to plant these new seedlings. This brings our growing Farlington forest to a total of 416 trees. 👏🏼 Over the next 25 years, they are estimated to absorb roughly 128 tonnes of carbon dioxide, while helping to protect biodiversity and restore ecosystems around the world. 🌍 A heartfelt thank you to our pupils, parents, and staff for your support and generosity in making a real difference to our planet 🌿 #FarlingtonSchool #JustOneTree #Sustainability #GlobalReforestation #EcoInitiatives #CommunityImpact #justonetree

A fascinating glimpse into 130 years of Farlington! 💫 As we celebrate this anniversary, we've been exploring the archives and uncovering some wonderful insights into school life through the decades. From the first Reunion of Old Girls in 1905 (known rather amusingly as ‘Prehistorics’ or ‘Antediluvians’! 😄), to the school rules of 1912 and a rather interesting menu from 1930, we would love to know what our current students would think of these! 👀 Much has changed, but friendship, opportunity and a strong sense of community remain at the heart of Farlington. We're very proud of the generations who have shaped our story so far, and excited for our current students who will continue to shape our future.💙 #Farlington130 #WeAreFarlington #IAmFarlington

We 🧡 Halloween at Farlington!

🏑 A fantastic afternoon of sport for our U8s and U9s! Our boys took to the football pitches against Brighton College Prep, Seaford College Prep, Cottesmore & Barrow Hills, while the girls enjoyed some brilliant hockey fixtures against Brighton College Prep & Seaford College Prep. A brilliant afternoon of teamwork, determination and sportsmanship, with plenty of smiles along the way! Well done to all our young players, and thank you to the visiting schools for a wonderful afternoon of sport! #FarlingtonSchool #FarlingtonSport #PrepSchoolSport

A snapshot of another busy week at Farlington! ✨ From sporting success to creative classroom moments and community spirit, there’s been plenty to celebrate this week... 🏊‍♀️ Our Farlington swimmers secured an incredible 13 medals, with six swimmers earning their place in the ISA National Finals. 🍂Our Reception children have been busy making beautiful autumn wreaths, celebrating the colours of the season using natural resources found in our grounds. 🏅Our new scholars were proudly presented with their scholarship badges, recognising their talents and achievements across a range of disciplines. 💚Our School Council representatives helped deliver 147kg of food to Horsham Matters Food Bank, generously donated by our Farlington community through our Harvest Festival Collection. It’s been another wonderful week of opportunity, achievement and community at Farlington. 💙 #IAmFarlington #WeAreFarlington #FarlingtonSchool

We were so thrilled to welcome a full house to our Open Morning today! ❤️ The school really came alive, and it was lovely to see our pupils proudly showing prospective families around, sharing their experiences and giving them a real feel for life at Farlington and what makes our school so special. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our wonderful pupils and staff who made the morning such a success!

Roman history brought to life! 🏛️✨ This week, Year 4 stepped back in time with a fantastic visit to Fishbourne Roman Palace, exploring Roman life and seeing some of the incredible history they’ve been learning about in the classroom first-hand. And while we love hearing about everything our pupils discover on trips, we were especially proud to receive a wonderful message afterwards from a member of the public who had crossed paths with our Year 4s during their visit. They were so impressed by the children that they took the time to write to our Headmaster - and we couldn’t resist sharing their lovely words. 💛 Swipe to read ➡️ Well done, Year 4. Wonderful ambassadors for Farlington, both in and out of the classroom. #FarlingtonSchool #FarlingtonLife #Year4 #FishbourneRomanPalace #LearningBeyondTheClassroom ProudToBeFarlington
