Community links

Farlow C. of E. Primary is in the heart of its rural community. We have strong links with St. Giles' Church and Melville Methodist Chapel. Members from both churches attend our weekly Open the Book worship sessions. We hold an annual festival in the summer term and the Farlow Show every September, both of which are well attended by members of the community, extended family, friends and pupils past and present.

Bags to school.

Summer festival

Macmillan Coffee Morning.

We hold an annual coffee morning to raise money for Macmillan annually in December. The children make refreshments and craft items to sell and also designed their own games. The event is was well supported by parents and carers plus members of the community.

Little schools can do big things!

Elf day!

On Friday December 6th 2019 we held an elf day. Children and staff dressed in green and red to raise money for the Alzheimer's Society.

Christingle making in worship time.

On Monday 9th December Reverend Daborn from St. Giles' Church and Mrs Downes from Melville Methodist Chapel came into school to help us to learn about Christingles. We worked together in small teams to make enough Christingles to place around the school, representing Jesus as the light of the world and to show that his love is all around us. We found out that the orange represents the world, the red ribbon represents Jesus' blood, the four sticks are the gospel writers and the fruit and sweets are all the good things that grow on earth.

Community Carol Singing

On Thursday 12th December, members of the community joined us for an afternoon of carol singing. We all enjoyed singing our favourite carols and Christmas songs as well as sharing refreshments. We are all feeling very festive now.
