Background:

Henry Charles, Duke of Norfolk, endowed Arundel Church of England School in 1853. At that time the school was built in Arundel, between School Lane and Surrey Street. In its subsequent history the school was re-built on the same site. The original 1853 building is believed to have been the first purpose-built school in Arundel. The present building was erected in 1975 in a pleasant woodland setting in Jarvis Road, Arundel. The building comprises seven classrooms with connecting activity areas, a large hall with associated work areas. The school has a large playing field used for games, physical education, study and recreation. The school also has a hard play area on three sides including two netball courts. A wide range of extra-curricular activities are offered at lunchtime and after-school. The school aims to create a happy, secure environment at school in order to provide the best learning situation.
