Charlie in Year 5 was delighted to learn that he is one of the runners-up in a Christmas Card Competition, run by @andrewgriffithmp. Here he is with Mr Griffith who visited this morning to present Charlie with a certificate and a great set of art equipment. Congratulations Charlie!

Exciting news from @ruthstraussfoundation ! As part of `The Big Give`, the Year 7 Business Enterprise donation of £2250, was doubled to £4510.
We are very proud of this group of pupils who worked so hard and sold their wares to the public at Arundel Farmers Market and our Parents` Association Christmas Market. We thought setting them a target of £1000 was ambitious but they were determined to make as much profit as possible for this excellent charity.
Thank you to everyone who supported them - including parents and staff.

Well, that was fun!
Our amazing catering team produced a full Christmas lunch for all the children and staff today.
The Year 8s organised a pre-lunch party for the Pre-Preppers in the inner Barn and they were able to peep through to the outer Barn to see preparations for the whole school community to sit together for lunch.
Everyone sat in their houses and Mr Weaver organised a rousing and competitive rendition of `The Twelve Days of Christmas`.
Huge thanks to the catering team and to the staff who ferried food into the Barn from the kitchen.
