}}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 in Haywards Heath but moved to its present site at Strood Green near Horsham in 1955. It is situated about {{convert|3|mi|km|0}} west of Horsham. Farlington is affiliated to the Girls' Schools Association and the Independent Association of Prep Schools. The school also has a long association with the University of Chichester in the field of teacher education.[2]

The school

{{unreferenced section|date=June 2017}}

Farlington has approximately 300 pupils, and is co-educational in Reception, but currently girls-only from Year 1. The school is sited in {{convert|33|acre|km2|1}} of parkland at Strood Park and Little Barn Owls also have a Nursery on this site. The Prep School is housed in the New Courtyard buildings and the Peto Building. Senior School accommodation includes the Jacobean Mansion House, Moberly Building and the Simpson Science block. The Sixth Form is located in the dedicated Sixth Form Centre.

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. There are two boarding houses; Fishponds is the junior boarding house and the Mansion House is home to the senior boarders. 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, and a blue and green tartan kilt.

The Senior School houses are all named after famous, pioneering women whose surname begins with 'C': (Mildred) Cable, (Edith) Cavell, (Sue) Cheshire, (Marie) Curie.{{citation needed|date=June 2017}}
