Sports Day Success

The sun was shining over The Bridge athletics track on Friday, 22 May, as pupils from Years 3-13 came together for another unforgettable Farlington Sports Day. With students proudly dressed in their house colours, Hawking in green, Luther King in blue, and Parks in red - the day was full of energy, determination and outstanding displays of sportsmanship. From our youngest competitors in Year 3, to Sixth Form students preparing for their final school Sports Day, the atmosphere reflected the strong sense of community that lies at the heart of Farlington life. The morning saw pupils in Years 3–6 take to the track and field for a wide variety of events, including hurdles, relays, long jump, high jump, vortex throw, javelin and middle-distance races. The afternoon welcomed students from Years 7-13, who competed in an exciting programme of athletics events including discus, shot put, javelin, high jump, long jump and exciting relay races. Throughout the day, our students demonstrated remarkable resilience, encouragement and team spirit. Plenty of personal bests and school records were broken, but what stood out most was the support shown for every competitor. Students cheered each other on from the sidelines, and every athlete was applauded over the finish line, no matter how long it took to complete the race.   Sports Day perfectly captured Farlington’s core values of Individuality, Opportunity and Community. Everyone had the opportunity to participate, challenge themselves and contribute to their house team in their own unique way. Whether competing for a medal, overcoming nerves before an event or simply trying something new, students were encouraged to embrace personal growth and celebrate each other’s achievements. Director of Sport, Mr Simon Faulkner, praised the students for their enthusiasm, resilience and support for one another throughout the day. He commented on the fantastic atmosphere at The Bridge and the determination shown by students across every age group and event, highlighting how the occasion reflected the inclusive and encouraging spirit of Farlington. Sports Day was incredibly well supported by parents, families and staff, whose encouragement helped to create such a positive and uplifting atmosphere throughout the day. Families gathered around the track to celebrate successes, support determination and enjoy the wonderful sense of togetherness that defines the Farlington community. Adding to the celebrations, an ice cream van proved especially popular in the warm sunshine, with all students enjoying a well-earned treat between events. At Farlington, sport plays an important role in developing confidence, resilience, teamwork and leadership alongside academic achievement. Days like Sports Day showcase the breadth of opportunities available to everyone at our independent school in West Sussex, while highlighting the inclusive and supportive environment that makes Farlington such a special place to learn and grow. For families seeking an independent school in Horsham or an exceptional UK boarding school experience, Farlington School offers students the opportunity to thrive academically, socially and personally within a warm and ambitious community.   Thanks must go to all of our staff, students, parents and supporters who helped make Sports Day 2026 such a memorable occasion.

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!
