Horsham, West Sussex, United Kingdom Farlington School Full time

The Senior School at Farlington seeks to offer a dynamic and forward-thinking provision for our students in Years 9-13. Pupils choose GCSE and A-Level options from a broad range of subjects. Our curriculum offers great breadth, including within the timetable: opportunity for sport, Life Skills, and a full range of clubs and activities. Recent curriculum developments have included Business Studies, Design and Technology, and Computer Science introduced at GCSE, and the addition of A-Level Economics and Criminology into the Sixth Form. Sport is an important part of our curriculum, with weekly games coaching and inter-school fixtures (played each Tuesday afternoon). Music, Dance and Drama are also key aspects of the opportunities on offer at Farlington, and pastoral care is paramount across the school.

Year 9 is a significant intake year for Farlington School, with children increasingly joining us from other local prep schools, and this September we will take the year group to four forms for the first time. Our aspiration is to maintain this into future years, so that our Senior School achieves a consistent four-form model. The Senior School represents one of the strongest areas of growth within the school, and sustaining this growth will be a key priority for the successful candidate.

Our Sixth Form provides an aspirational section of the school, and all future Sixth Formers (including our current Year 11 pupils) apply for their place.

The school has appointed a new role of Head of Sixth Form for September 2024, and this role will report into the Head of Senior School position. It is intended that the two roles will work closely together to increase our pupil retention into our Sixth Form and to grow our external recruitment.

The school is also launching a pre A-Level course for international students from September 2024 onwards, and a Language School to operate through the school holidays from Easter 2025.

Before you apply for this post, please ensure that you read our Safeguarding Policy (Section 2: Safer Recruitment), as well as our Staff Privacy Notice, both of which can be accessed via the Policies section of the school's website.

Please then complete an application form (available within the Job Opportunities section of our website). The completed and signed application form, along with a brief supporting letter addressed to Mr James Passam, Headmaster, should be sent to:

Mrs Natalie Briano, Operations Manager, Farlington School, Strood Park, Horsham RH12 3PN. Applications may also be submitted via email to

Please note that any application form submitted electronically must be completed in the existing application format.

The closing date for applications is Monday 3 June 2024

First-round interviews will take place from the week beginning Monday 10 June 2024.

Farlington School is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children, and applicants must be willing to undergo child protection screening appropriate to the post, including checks with past employers and the Disclosure and Barring Service.
