Term 3 Update
Welcome to another term! I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and have made an exciting New Year's Resolution! All of our values- see the reminder below- are important, but in Term 3 we focus the most on taking opportunities. Make sure you're doing your best to earn house points by taking opportunities where you can. Are you taking a chance with something new? Are you choosing to spend just a little bit more time on something to make it perfect? Are you stepping up to a responsibility? The more you do this, the more we likely it is that we can continue our two-term winning streak!
Our Values
- Respect
- Resilience
- Opportunity
- Support
- Trust
- Citizenship
End of Term 2 Update
Well done to Arundel for winning the house point competition again this term! We give house points for pupils demonstrating our school values and, as we were focusing on the value of Resilience this term, we obviously had some very hardy and persevering children in Arundel! Your non-uniform day will be on Friday 9th January.
Scotney House Competition
Congratulations to Audrey in 5 Tanoak (Bodiam) who designed the beautiful front cover for the Christmas Carol Concert. No spoilers by printing a copy here as her design will feature on every programme on the night. Lovely work Audrey!
Neve and Ava, the Scotney House captains, judged the winner. Thanks to the many Arundel participants!
Term 2 Update
Welcome to Term 2. All of our values- see the reminder below- are important, but in Term 2 we focus the most on being resilient. Make sure you're doing your best to earn house points by being resilient. Are you making work the best you can make it? Are you trying hard in lessons you enjoy less? Are you responding maturely if people around you are not?
The more resilient you are, the more likely you are to win the house competition!
Other News
There will be another inter-house competition organised by the Scotney House Captains this term. Stay tuned!
The Arundel non-uniform day (as a reward for winning the house competition last term) will be held on Friday 21st of November.
Our Values
- Respect
- Resilience
- Opportunity
- Support
- Trust
- Citizenship

Most Valuable: Joey in 5Tanoak
2nd Most Valuable: Elsie in 6Gardenia
3rd Most Valuable: Charlotte in 4Greenheart
Well done you three!
In other news, I am delighted to announce that Arundel were the winners of the house competition. Keep your eyes open for news about our prize for winning. Have a terrific week off, and come back refreshed in Term 2 to start all over again.

House Captain Announcement
Congratulations to Elsie and Charlie for being voted in as house captains for Arundel. I know them both very well and I know that the staff have made an excellent choice of role models for the rest of the school. Here's to a great year!
Term 1 Update
Welcome back everyone and, to the new Year 3s, welcome to the Juniors. It's a pleasure to have some new Arundelians. Did anyone visit Arundel over the summer holidays? Let me (Mr Gray) know if you did!
Very soon, the new Year 6s will have the opportunity to apply for the position of house captain. It's a big responsibility, but I know there are several children who are more than up to the task. The staff will vote on this and at that point we will announce the new captains. Year 6s, start thinking about how you will prove you are a worthy candidate!
There will be a house competition later on in the term, with details to follow. In the meantime, try to demonstrate the six school values as much as possible to gain house points, and therefore more chance of having a house non-uniform day. The school values are:
- Respect
- Resilience
- Opportunity
- Support
- Trust
- Citizenship
Respect is the focus in Term 1. Good luck everyone, and let's have a stupendous year!
