In September 2022 DH held the first of a series of events aimed at involving pupils from local primary schools in sport. Boys aged from 10 to 11 years from St James’, Coldwaltham and Fittleworth schools joined boys from Dorset House in a six-a-side football tournament. It was a fun occasion with some good football played by all teams. The eventual winners were Dorset House. In February 2023 it was the turn of the girls in the Arun Valley Schools' area to take part in a netball tournament. There was a great response to this event with 6 schools taking part.

In May this summer, the final event of the series involved Arun Valley Schools competing in a six-a-side cricket tournament. Each team was made up of 3 boys and 3 girls with every one having to bat and bowl. There was a great turnout, with 8 teams competing for the top prize. Many parents from all the different schools watched and admired the fantastic display of cricketing ability on show. The overall winners were Arundel Cof E Primary. DH hopes to run the series again next year and make it an annual event bringing together all local school children.
