School Book Sponsorship

Arundel School Book Sponsorship

From September Arundel CE Primary School will be involved in a project called Difference for Primary Schools, which looks at how we can ensure everyone in our world can flourish, including pupils, staff and wider members of the school community.

Would you sponsor a book for the school?

A book plate thanking the donor will be placed inside each book donated.

So the school doesn't receive duplicates, please indicate which book you will donate on the school's Difference for Primary Schools online spreadsheet.

Then simply purchase the book, take it to the Parish Office and it will be delivered to the school on your behalf at the start of the new term.

Tortington Patronal Festival

We celebrate the Patronal Festival of St Mary Magdalene Tortington on Sunday 20th July at 4.00 pm

Tortington church, which dates from the 12th century, is dedicated to St Mary Magdalene. Mary was one of the women who accompanied our Lord and ministered to him. She was present at the foot of the Cross and witnessed the placing of Christ in the tomb. Notably, she was the first recorded eyewitness of his Resurrection. John describes in some detail her remarkable experience at Christ’s tomb, where she met the risen Lord and carried from him a message to the disciples: “I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my God and your God.”
