Clapham and Patching C of E Primary School

The Kings came, the shepherds came, the angels came, the Shetland ponies and a mule came to adore baby Jesus this Thursday afternoon at St John the Divine in Patching. ⭐️@sdnpa @SDETrust @ChiDioEducation @ChichesterDio @NASmallSchs

So proud of our little choir. Last night they joined four other schools and Arun Choral Society in Arundel Cathedral for a beautiful Christmas concert. 🎶🎄⭐️@sdnpa @SDETrust @WorthingHigh @ChiDioEducation @ChichesterDio

@Simon_Hickton @Headteacherchat Yes please.

@Headteacherchat We work with hundreds of small schools across the country including the smallest one in Oxford that have really looked at how subject leaders can be supported. I know the exec head would be happy to share her experience & expertise. Let us know & we can put you in touch.

Anonymous post: I'm wondering if any heads of small schools would be willing to share their approach to subject leadership.

We are over the moon to share some of the lovely words that were written about our school in its recent SIAMS inspection.😃@ChiDioEducation @ChichesterDio @SDETrust @worthinghigh_ht @WorthingHigh

For National Welly Day we had a visit from Farmer Greg and his working dog Rupert. He told us about the animals and crops that he looks after and the role farmers play in looking after the countryside and providing us with food. @sdnpa @SDETrust @ChiDioEducation @worthinghigh_ht

At Clapham and Patching we love our rural setting. We named our 4 houses after our local farms, Tolmere, Myrtlegrove, Eccelsden and Northdown. On Tuesday wear your wellies to school to celebrate how hard our farmer friends work. @SDETrust @sdnpa @worthinghigh_ht @ChiDioEducation

Our school was full of bears today and Pudsey joined our Friday playground party. 🧸❤️@BBCCiN @SDETrust @sdnpa @WorthingHigh @worthinghigh_ht @ChiDioEducation @ChichesterDio

Year 3 and 4 used their homemade charcoal designs as inspiration for their final pieces. They made textured paper to represent the cave walls. They also looked at positive and negative hand prints from their research into cave paintings. @SDETrust @ChiDioEducation @sdnpa
