Midhurst C of E Primary School

Please join us at Midhurst Parish Church on Monday 20th July (2pm), for an end of term service. Our usual ‘Leaver’s Service’ won’t happen this year, as, for one year only, we will not be saying goodbye to our oldest year group. Instead, we will be having a ‘We are not leaving’ church service – a celebration of our Year 5’s talents and looking forward to them becoming our very first Year 6! We look forward to welcoming you to church on Monday.

Our ‘Dream Mile’, held on Friday July 10th was a great success. The event, organised by Mrs Clarke and her Year 3 class, was enjoyed by the whole school. Children and staff took part in walking, running, ‘three-legged’ walking or scootering their mile. Many of the children and adults wore Fancy Dress to add to the fun. So far, we have raised over £2000 for the ‘Dreams Come True’ charity! And we still have some pledged money to collect. Well done to everyone who took part and a special THANKYOU to Year 3 for all their hard work and good ideas.

Don’t forget, our Open Evening is on Tuesday 7th July from 6pm to 8pm. Parents and children are welcome to attend to look around the school, look at topic books and displays and chat to the teachers. Year 5s and parents – don’t forget that Mrs Clarke is holding a short meeting at 7pm about Year 6.

The building work is going to schedule, which means that we will be equipped with 7 class bases from next term, with a Year 6 classroom and two brand new classrooms for Reception and Year 1. In order to get furniture and resources back in place ready for the new academic year, the school will be closed on Wednesday 22nd July 2009. Thank you for your understanding and co-operation with this. We look forward to enjoying our new space next term!
