Today, Farlington School in Horsham, West Sussex, celebrated exceptional A-Level examination results,
with 46% of grades awarded at A*-A; 77% at A*-B; and a 100% pass rate.

Particularly impressive is the school’s ‘value added’, with 42% of all grades awarded to Farlington
students being two grades above their national expected outcomes. This figure has doubled
since last year. 82% of pupils achieved at least one grade above expected in at least one A-Level,
which reflects the outstanding progress made by these students during their time at Farlington
Sixth Form.

“I am immensely proud of our students’ achievements this year,” says Headmaster James
Passam. “They have worked with diligence over the past two years and are now well poised for
the next stage of their lives. Not only are they rightly celebrating their exam results, but many
have achieved personal successes in other spheres, such as music, drama, public speaking, sport
and art.”

Furthermore, 85% of Farlington students have today secured a place at their first choice of
university. These pupils will now go on to read a range of subjects at prestigious universities
across the country, including the University of Southampton (Aeronautical and Spacecraft
Engineering, Psychology); Loughborough University (Sport and Exercise Science); Trinity College
Dublin (Stage Management); and The University of Liverpool (Marketing).

Farlington School, in Horsham, West Sussex, opened a brand new Wellbeing Centre at the beginning of 2024, giving students from the Lower School to the Sixth Form a safe space that promotes a sense of calm and reflection.

"The opening of our new Wellbeing Centre represents a milestone in what has been a community project for Farlington, led by the generous efforts of our fabulous PTA,” says Headmaster James Passam.

Students are able to enjoy a wide variety of wellbeing activities in the centre, including guided meditation, ‘Morning Mindfulness’ and ‘Woodland Wellbeing’. Drop-in counselling sessions are open to all students who may need a chat, and there are after-school sessions for staff including yoga nidra (yogic sleep), blissful aromatherapy, reiki and sound healing.

Year 11 students at Farlington School in Horsham, West Sussex, are today celebrating a significant
increase in the highest GCSE grades awarded, including those achieved before the pandemic in 2019,
with 24% grade 9; 42% grades 9-8; 56% grades 9-7; and 90% grades 9-4.

Impressively, the number of grade 9s achieved by Farlington students this year has increased for the
second year in succession showing a 53% increase over the last two years. In addition, the number of
grades 9 to 8 has also increased 49% over the same period.

Headmaster James Passam says, “We are all immensely proud of the achievements of our pupils,
whether those achieving the highest grades or those who have strived hard to achieve their personal
bests. The significant increase in the number of grades 8 and 9 achieved for the second year running
is reflective of pupils’ hard work and the dedication of their teachers. Particularly impressive is the
performance of our boys, given that the school only became co-educational in 2019, who achieved
on average over a grade above the national expected outcomes. Similarly, our boarders achieved
almost two grades above, which is remarkable.”
