SUSSEX’S STAND OUT SERVING
Want healthy food, cooked right? Well, believe it or not, we’re talking about Farlington School in Horsham.
Farlington’s Headmistress Louise Higson and Catering Manager Mark Bell were presented with an Eat Out Eat Well award at the beginning of the month. The school’s Catering Team were given a silver award by Eat Out Eat Well for their dedication to healthy eating, only narrowly missing out on the gold award.
The Eat Out Eat Well scheme was developed to reward food outlets that provide healthier choices, correct cooking methods as well as their promotion of healthy options.
Farlington’s Headmistress, Louise Higson, says: “We are very pleased that the Catering Team, led by Mark Bell for Harrison’s, has been recognised in this way. The food at Farlington is produced to a very high standard and there are always plenty of healthy options for the girls to choose from.”

HURST CADETS HUMBLED
Cadets from Hurstpierpoint College CFF took part in the ‘planting’ of ceramic poppies in the dry moat of the Tower of London’s art instillation commemorating the World War I centenary.
[one_half]Each of the flowers in the instillation, labelled ‘Blood Swept Lands and Seas of Red’, represents a British or colonial soldier killer in the First World War, with exactly 888,246 ceramic poppies circling the tower.
The instillation was a huge success, with an estimated four million people visiting the Tower during it’s stay, and the college has now arranged the purchase of five of the handmade ceramic poppies from the instillation to be displayed with the College Chapel war memorial.[/one_half]
