LETTER: Milestone for village school
Itchingfield School has been at the heart of the education in the Itchingfield parish for over 160 years since it opened as a National Society School.
A 1854 church document shows the school was intended to ‘educate the children of the poorest inhabitants’ whilst the playing fields are glebe lands for ‘enjoyment of retired clergy’.
Now this iconic village school – the only split-site primary school left in West Sussex - is embarking on one of its most historic moments and moving to brand new facilities in Barns Green.
