Farlington School gives children a voice
Horsham’s only co-educational independent school and nursery for ages 6 months to 18 years, Farlington School is a warm and welcoming day and boarding school and year-round nursery, nestled in 33 acres of Sussex countryside.
Farlington Headmaster James Passam fully understands how difficult it is to choose a school. Here, he shares his advice for parents.
“One of the most important considerations should be finding a school that gives your child a voice,” says James. “Children want to be listened to, and the independent system enables teachers and pastoral staff to value and hear each voice. This personalised approach really helps pupils to reach their potential. At Farlington we give children a voice, through our Student Council and various committees, to help decide what goes on in the school.”
“Selecting a school for your child can seem daunting; it’s a big commitment,” continues James. “Make time to visit the schools that interest you and your child. Open events will give you an overall picture, but student taster days are also invaluable, as your child will be able to visualise actually being there as a pupil. Good luck!”
