Farlington Prep School recently took part in a “Rainbow Mufti Day” to raise funds for the BIG Foundation – an education charity based in Kenya. This was selected by the pupils’ School Council as the recipient of this year’s fundraising activities
The pupils from Nursery to Prep 6 came to School wearing a specified colour of the rainbow, depending on their year group. A group was then photographed in the shape of a rainbow from upstairs in the Boarding House.
