WEST LAVINGTON SCHOOL CLOSES - July 2008 - Midhurst & Petworth Observer This comes as a double blow to the village after an announcement in late 2007 that the church was to be made redundant - click  Children commemorate their School
With West Lavington School due to close in July 2008, staff and governors wanted to commemorate this historic event with an arts project. With the help of the Midhurst Artworks Studio, they decided on a mosaic of the school, a picturesque Victorian building. The remaining 12 pupils at the school were given part of a picture of the school, and a 15cm wooden square with the design drawn onto it for them. They then reproduced their section of the school picture in glass and ceramic mosaic tiles, and grouted it on completion. When the 12 squares were assembled, it created a mosaic of the whole school. Pupils were then able to take home an abstract mosaic that represented their own small piece of the school. click here for details on the Artworks Studio in Midhurst NAME No Academy in Midhurst or Easebourne This blog is a forum for citizens with an interest in proposed changes to education in the Rother Valley.

Midhurst & Petworth Observer - Apr 08 Man at centre of Midhurst Academy plans changes roles Midhurst & Petworth Observer - Apr 08 Herbert Shiner Pupils to relocate to Easebourne - May 2008 Fighting Academies in Midhurst Reunion will spell the end of local schools A statement made by Rev. Chris Boxley..Ex Midhurst Grammar School teacher and priest at St. James, Heyshott Re: April 2008 village newsletter, regarding academies. "People have asked me, in the context of schools, why I am opposed to academies and in particular the one proposed for the Rother Valley. As a staunch supporter of state comprehensive education I don't want any part of the system to be privatised, which is what happens when a school is put into the hands of a sponsor. When the school is handed over, the sponsor, for about £500,000, gains total control over buildings, governance and curriculum. The money awarded from government will be around £30 million, to build the school. Resources are procured and conditions applied that favour the academy over local authority schools, but there is no evidence that the sponsors offer anything better educationally than LA schools, in fact the curriculum is often thinned down to leave out History, Geography, Music, Art, Drama and a modern language." Further statement by Chris Boxley as a NAME spokesperson ARCHIVED ARTICLE email received 05.03.2008 5th March 2008 Dear Residents North Chichester County Local Committee [ CLC ] - next meeting - Tuesday 18th March 2008, Lodsworth Village Hall. I would like to invite you to the above meeting. The timing and format for this differs to previous CLC meetings. From 2pm to 5 pm there will be a "talk with us" style event and the theme will be Planning Rother Valley Schools for the Future. Last term the County Council consulted on the issues that need to be addressed and wanted to draw from the consultation the principles that the future organisation of schools in the Rother Valley should follow. Last week the County Council published its proposals, based on those principles. At this "talk with us" event there will be several "stalls" where people can chat through their own individual school issues regarding extended schools, standards, capital issues, academies, transport, governance/school reorganisation process and the justification for individual options. At 5 pm a shorter than usual formal CLC meeting will begin and run until approximately 6 pm. Nola Hendon County Councillor for Midhurst Division Chairman of North Chichester County Local Committee
