About our school
Midhurst C.E. Primary School was first established in 1865. The present school was built in 1972 and offers spacious accommodation, which includes 7 classroom bases. It is located in a central position and enjoys safe and generously proportioned playing fields that provide an attractive environment.
In recent years the school has developed its grounds to meet the varying needs of children. We have added two adventure play areas (one for each Key Stage), quiet areas and a separate play area for younger children. Our outdoor swimming pool, which has been recently upgraded, provides opportunities for swimming lessons with a professional coach for all children during the warmer months and a conservation area has been created for the benefit of the children. The school also has two adventure play areas – one for each Key Stage.
We have an ICT suite (with 19 computers) which is networked to all computers in classrooms, all of which have an interactive whiteboard. The school benefits from a spacious, well-resourced library.
Midhurst Primary School has developed a partnership with the local nursery to form ‘First Friends of Midhurst Primary’, which is now based in the school grounds. This offers high quality childcare and education for children aged 0 to 5 years. Our popular Breakfast, After-School and Holiday Clubs are also run by First Friends of M.P.S.
