Farlington School is an independent day and boarding school for pupils aged four to eighteen in Horsham, West Sussex, England. Farlington was founded in 1896 originally as a girls' school in Haywards Heath but moved to its present site at Strood Park near Horsham in 1955. It is situated about 3 miles (5 km) northwest of the town. Farlington joined the Bellevue Education group in September 2019. The school also has a long association with the University of Chichester in the field of teacher education. [2]

The school

Farlington has over 300 pupils, and became co-educational in most year groups in September 2020, becoming fully co-educational the following year. Farlington is situated in 33 acres (0.1 km2) of parkland at Strood Park and Little Barn Owls also has a Nursery on this site. The school is made up of the Lower School (Reception to Year 4), the Middle School (Years 5 to 8) and the Senior School (Years 9 to 13). The oldest building on the site is the Jacobean Mansion House, housing the Reception and Library on the ground floor. Teaching buildings include the New Courtyard buildings, the Peto Building, the Moberly Building, the Simpson Science block, the Sixth Form Centre and the Johnson Sports Hall. The former chapel is the Drama Studio.

For the most part, students attend as day pupils; however, Farlington also offers boarding from the age of 8, on a full, weekly or occasional basis. Boarding accommodation is on the upper floors of the Mansion House. The boarding community is both British and international.

Farlington's distinctive uniform features a French navy jacket embroidered with the school's 'clock tower' logo for all pupils. Most girls wear the blue and green tartan kilt, (although grey trousers are now an alternative).

The School houses were renamed in 2020 as a result of a student vote and are: Luther King, Hawking and Parks.

Clifton College is a public school in the city of Bristol in South West England, founded in 1862 and offering both boarding and day school for pupils aged 13–18. In its early years, unlike most contemporary public schools, it emphasised science rather than classics in the curriculum, and was less concerned with social elitism, for example by admitting day-boys on equal terms and providing a dedicated boarding house for Jewish boys, called Polack's House. Having linked its General Studies classes with Badminton School, it admitted girls to every year group in 1987, and was the first of the traditional boys' public schools to become fully coeducational. Polack's House closed in 2005 but a scholarship fund open to Jewish candidates still exists. Clifton College is one of the original 26 English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Yearbook of 1889.
