Discover Farlington School

Farlington School is proud to be the only co-educational independent all-through school and nursery in the Horsham area, catering for ages 6 months to 18 years on the same site.

Set in 33 acres of beautiful Sussex parkland, just 25 minutes from Gatwick Airport and an hour from central London, Farlington enjoys a location that is both idyllic and convenient.

Scroll down to find lots of information about what makes Farlington School such a wonderful place to learn, from Nursery right up to Sixth Form.

To find out more about what Farlington School could offer your child, please complete the form below and our Admissions Department will be in touch.

Pastoral Support

At Farlington, we want every student in our care to be happy.

Find Out More

We have a very strong pastoral vision and a whole-school ethos geared towards wellbeing and promoting a positive and holistic approach to good mental health.

We prioritise the safety, and nurture the self-esteem, of every student, ensuring that all of our students feel happy and secure. Our experienced staff are particularly skilled at helping students settle in, so that they quickly become familiar with their surroundings and make new friends.

Pastoral care is not just about dealing with things when they go wrong; it is about instilling in students the importance of trust, respect, compassion and resilience. These core principles are at the heart of Farlington life. We foster a community where every student matters; they are listened to and supported so that they develop confidence and self-awareness.

Academic Results

Farlington students consistently achieve outstanding results at GCSE and A-Level.

Find Out More

A-LEVEL

In 2025, 51% of A-Level grades awarded to Farlington students were A*-B, and our Sixth Form celebrated a 100% pass rate. These fantastic results enabled them to confirm their next stage of education, with 90% securing their first choice university place, and 100% of those applying, securing places at Russell Group universities.

GCSE

GCSE results in 2025 were equally as impressive, with 50% of GCSE grades awarded to Farlington students being grades 9-7, and 21% of grades awarded being grade 9.

Extra-Curricular

It goes without saying that students come to school to learn, but learning at Farlington is not restricted to the classroom.

Find Out More

We firmly believe that lessons learnt beyond the classroom are as vital to a child's preparation for life as those learnt within it.

Clubs & Activities

Farlington offers an extensive extra-curricular provision, incorporating sporting, creative and enrichment options. Our twice-daily activities programme allows every pupil to be involved in an enrichment activity - outdoors or indoors; practical, intellectual or unusual. We offer a range of extra-curricular art, music, dance and drama clubs, and provide a varied and inclusive extra-curricular sports programme.

The Great Outdoors

The great outdoors is a wonderful place to learn, and we encourage all of our students to get out and enjoy the wonderful rural setting Farlington is so lucky to call home.

Our Forest School programme helps children to develop a love of the great outdoors and helps develop self-esteem, confidence and a sense of responsibility.

Weekly Forest School sessions are currently available to all children from Reception to Year 6, with leadership and teamwork days offered to the older students.

School Trips

Throughout their time at Farlington, pupils will be offered numerous opportunities to travel far and wide, from local trips for our youngest Lower School students, to expeditions around the world for our older students.

Sixth Form

Students at Farlington Sixth Form enjoy a vibrant atmosphere based on challenge, breadth and preparation for the future.

Find Out More

At Farlington Sixth Form, students study the subjects that they love and at which they excel, whilst enjoying a truly personalised Sixth Form experience that will fully prepare them for whichever future path they choose to take.

Whilst academic success is of course important, we are about much more than qualifications. In addition to a wide range of A-Level subjects, a series of options for Sixth Form students at Farlington Sixth Form enhance independent learning skills, for example the Duke of Edinburgh's Award, Voluntary Service and the Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). We will encourage you to use your initiative, build your ideas and interests, and develop transferable skills to set you on the path to future personal and academic success.

Whichever path you choose to take after Sixth Form, we will help you to be fully prepared for your next step, whether that means providing guidance on your UCAS application or helping to find the perfect apprenticeship.

Boarding

Farlington's friendly boarding house, the Mansion House, offers students a cosy, home-from-home environment.

Find Out More

At Farlington, we offer plenty of flexibility when it comes to boarding, with options to suit every family – whether you are looking for full boarding, weekly boarding or the occasional 'flexi' overnight stay – for students from Year 7 upwards.

Within the boarding house, students experience a family atmosphere, comfortable communal areas, campus-wide WiFi access, spacious bedrooms, and all mod cons.

Once the busy school day is over, there is plenty of time to relax, study and socialise in the boarding house. Our boarders also enjoy regular midweek outings, for example to the local bowling alley, to watch a film at the cinema, or to one of the many fabulous restaurants in Horsham. At the weekend, we run trips to nearby towns and cities, for example Brighton or Chichester.

Our boarders forge strong friendships and develop great social skills, independence and understanding, as well as a warmth of spirit and character that will serve them well at university and throughout their lives.
