Pupils from years 6, 7 and 8 attended a two-night residential trip at Sayers Croft Activity Centre. Pupils had the opportunity to participate in a wide range of outdoor and adventurous activities during the day and into early evening. All pupils were kept busy throughout the trip and certainly slept well at the end of each day after enjoying more activities around the campfire.
This trip provided all pupils with great experience of enjoying the outside environment alongside the opportunity to develop relationships with other pupils and with members of staff. All staff enjoyed spending time with the pupils and had fun taking part in activities outside of the school environment.
Well done to all of the pupils and thank you to the staff for committing your time and effort in order to make this trip possible.
Muntham House School had a very unexpected emergency landing of a magnificent Virgin Hot Air Balloon.
Amazing how big these balloons are up close and the wonderful spectacle our local neighbours to see. We helped the balloon team collapse the balloon safely. This is the first time in the schools history we have ever had a hot air balloon on our school fields.

World Book Day is the biggest celebration of its kind. The aim of it is to celebrate authors, books, illustrators and - of course - reading! To help young people to do that, book tokens are given out at schools.
Muntham House School celebrated World Book Day, by the pupils coming in dressed as their favourite book character. All pupils were provided with a £2 voucher to purchase a book. Our Primary classes really enjoyed dressing up and fully enjoyed the day.
It has been great to see our pupils back enjoying school and making the most of the opportunities available to them. The staff team have continued to work hard to reconnect with the pupils and re-engage them with their learning in the classroom, helping them settle back into the routines and rules of school once again. Pupils and staff have appreciated being back at school and seeing their friends again.
We have maintained high levels of attendance, last week whole school attendance was 96% which is a higher percentage than the national average for mainstream schools. It is so important after this past year considering how much pupils have missed, that all pupils attend school every day to catch up on their learning.
Pupils have welcomed our new goats Candy and Nora enjoying walking, grooming and caring for the goats. The goats have had a positive impact on our pupils. The school has also purchased eight hand reared chickens of various different breeds and varieties from a local West Sussex farm. Pupils who are interested, will have the opportunity to collect eggs and feed the chickens and learn more about nature.
I hope that you all have a lovely break over half term and enjoy some good quality family time. We all look forward to pupils returning to school on Tuesday 8th June.
Best wishes
Mr Anderson
Principal

All pupils and staff were encouraged to wear red to school for a small donation to Red Nose Day. Pupils had the opportunity to participate in different activities throughout the day.
The pupils enjoyed the day and had great satisfaction in helping others, giving them a sense of worth and pride. Well done to all for the amount of money raised.
Red Nose Day donations help tackle important issues including homelessness, hunger, domestic abuse and mental health stigma, all of which have been impacted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
It was great to see so many pupils dressing up in character to celebrate world book day. Pupils and staff alike dressed as characters from their favourite books.
This day was another opportunity to celebrate literature and a love of learning for pupils at Muntham House School

Year 11 Parents / Carers, Please note that Muntham House School will not be opening for exam results collection this year.
This is due to the continuing COVID-19 situation and the need to reduce infection and maintain social distance etc.
This is a shame as it's always lovely to see the pupils get their well-earned results. However, I know how hard our pupils have worked towards their GCSE examinations.
This year we will therefore be sending these out via email and also posting the results 1st class on the morning of 20th August 2020.
Prevent came into Muntham House School on Monday morning to hold a training session for Staff and they also kindly came in again on Tuesday and held an assembly for our pupils.
They gave great insight into the prevention of radicalisation and violent extremism involving safeguarding vulnerable individuals from being radicalised into extremist behaviour and attitudes. Anyone from any area, ethnic group, socio-economic background, age group, gender can be in a vulnerable place for a variety of reasons and so be susceptible to radicalisation. This can happen in small villages as well as in big cities in any part of the country and the reach of the online world can be appealing for people when at their most isolated and vulnerable.
As a school we have a part to play in preventing radicalisation and violent extremism. This is why the Counter-Terrorism and Security Act 2015 places a Public Duty on all schools and local authorities to have “due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism”.
The staff found the talk extremely beneficial and I know that all pupils came away with a much greater understanding.
