Arundel Church of England School is situated at the end of Jarvis Road in Arundel, West Sussex. Our school is surrounded by beautiful woodland and benefits from extensive outside space.
On-site we have many wonderful areas for the children to enjoy, such as: A large field, used for a range of sports throughout the year, which also includes an exercise track, a jungle gym, an amphitheatre, a boat, raised planting beds, a gazebo and some lovely areas of shade under mature trees.
A summerhouse called 'The Olive Branch' and our Peace Garden, which features two sculptures, one of praying hands and a second displaying the school's core values of faith, hope and love, both available for quiet contemplation. Two playgrounds marked with games and grids for a variety of activities, two outdoor table tennis tables and a range of seating.
An outside space for Reception and Year 1 children with a wooden house, mud kitchen, stage, bridge, seating area, planters, castle and shop, where a range of different activities take place every day.
