The Towers Convent School, Henfield Road, Upper Beeding, West Sussex, BN44 3TF Towers News 2010 - 2011 The Towers Convent School, Henfield Road, Upper Beeding, West Sussex, BN44 3TF. Tel 01903 812185 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.towers.w-sussex.sch.uk Happy Reading! This edition of Towers News runs from October 2010 to November 2011. As you will read, it has been an action‐packed year and the aim was to include as many events as possible. I do hope that we have been successful.

Congratulations to the pupils for the successful start to their D of E training. Covent Garden The annual trip to Covent Garden proved to be its usual success. The girls and staff braved the bitterly cold weather to rehearse, shop and finally sing in the Concert of Christmas Music for the 'Voices of Youth'. The music was glorious and the girls were in good voice. Instrumental soloists and choral soloists were confident and were a credit to Mrs Gray. Another triumph and a fun day too! Fly me to the moon! The entire community had the opportunity to explore beyond the Earth between 15th and 19th November. An exciting package arrived Monday morning containing genuine NASA samples of lunar rocks and meteorites from the Natural History Museum. Year 8 studied these samples as part of their topic ‘Journey into Space’; while Years 10 and 11 studied the lunar samples as part of their studies of How Science Works. All the pupils displayed fantastic scientific skills, using evidence to evaluate theories of moon formation and the origin of the inner planets. Key Stage 2 pupils also had the opportunity to visit the Senior School labs and study the moon rocks, with Years 5 and 6 discussing the evidence to decide whether NASA really visited the moon. A particular highlight for pupils, parents and staff was Tuesday afternoon when lab 3 was transformed into a space museum for an hour, allowing visitors to investigate these amazing samples first hand. It was a wonderful opportunity to study these rare specimens, as the majority of lunar rock and meteorite samples are held in universities or museums. Thank you to Jane Butt from the STFC for organising the loan and to pupils, staff and parents for their enthusiastic support of the week. Founder’s Day Treat November 30th is already a very special day in the life of The Towers Community at Upper Beeding as not only is it Founder's Day (the day when Blessed Peter Vigne founded the Order of the Blessed Sacrament Sisters) but it is also the feast day of Sister Mary Andrew as it is St Andrew's day. However, this year it was made even more special when Natalie Cheng, who was in Year 10 at the time, decided that she would like to be received into the Catholic Church and would like to make the day for her Baptism and First Holy Communion coincide with Founder's Day. Natalie was prepared for the Sacraments by Sister Breda and her sponsor was Mrs Anne Bowerman. Father Dominic O'Hara, who celebrated Mass for the School, commented on how generous it was for Natalie to share her wonderful day with the entire school and enable even the Reception children to experience this very unique event. One of Natalie's friends, Alice Standen, videoed the morning so that Natalie's parents in Hong Kong would be able to 're‐live' the day when she returned home for Christmas. The morning was followed by a delicious lunch and an inter‐house dance competition. Bizarre Bazaar Just as everything was on track and the PTA Bazaar was ready to go the snow arrived! So the Bazaar was postponed and rescheduled for the same day as the second performance of 'Jesus Christ Superstar.' This could have been chaos but the PTA were remarkable and the stalls were set up, Father Christmas arrived and the parents joined their children to try their luck at the tombola or browse the lovely gifts. The raffle was drawn at 3:45pm and by 5:30pm Father Christmas had returned to Lapland, the stalls and chocolate fountain were all cleared away and the gym became an auditorium once more. Moving Musical 'Jesus Christ Superstar' was a brave choice by Mrs Sparkes and Mrs Gray as the music is difficult and the singers required powerful voices but we need not have worried. Jesus Christ, played by Sophie Sparkes, and Mary Magdalene, played by Nancy Holt, were re‐ markable. Herod (Phoebe Murphy‐Dunn), Pilate (Daisy Parker) and Peter (Catherine Crick) were simply perfect and the High Priests (Mary Haruna, Saoirse O'Halloran and Zofia Reeves) were powerful and quite menacing. The final accolade must go to Angela Nabuufu whose portrayal of Judas was magnificent and really put across his struggle and final act of self‐destruction. The choreography (Maddy Brooks, Ella Turner and Mrs Pappenheim) was just right and the entire cast put their hearts and souls into all four days. This was possibly one of the best musicals ever and the girls should be congratulated on their energy and commitment. A Musical End To The Christmas Term Junior School Carol Service Christmas Nativity Chloe Ellman‐Baker The last week of term was full of all manner of musical events with the Junior School Carol Service complete with Christmas Nativity featuring Chloe Ellman‐Baker ‐ our Year 6 harpist. The same day sixty girls from the Senior Choir and Orchestra went to Holmbush to sing to raise money (£364) for the homeless of Worthing and Brighton whilst some others went with Sister Breda to sing to the residents of Adur View. The next day Mrs Gray took one of her Year 8 classes to Valerie Manor to sing carols for the elderly residents. On Wednesday the Rainbow Theatre presented their production of Aladdin to the Nursery and Junior School. The children took part in the production both acting and singing in this lively version of a well known tale. Then at the end of the week the Seniors finished the term with their two Carol Services – parents added to the money collected at Holmbush and we were able to send a total of £560 to the charities who care for the homeless in Worthing and Brighton. In addition the girls collected warm clothes, flasks and toiletries for the homeless who use St Anne’s Day Centre in Brighton. So a fitting end to the term ‐ bringing the true meaning of Christmas into the lives of many. ‘Aladdin’ Carols at Holmbush Carols at Valerie Manor End of term Carol Service Transformation The Year 11 Leavers' Hoodies arrived just before the end of the term and the girls took great delight in the privilege of wearing them to school for the last week of term. They had chosen some lovely, bright colours and they looked fabulous. Ski Trip Forty three girls enjoyed an excellent week of skiing and fun in the French resort of Valloire. All girls showed terrific progress in their skiing lessons and kept the teachers entertained with some spectacular falls and spills! Evening activities were highly amusing, including a fancy dress quiz, bum boarding, ice skating, bowling and the inevitable last night DISCO. This included a memorable 'no plate, no date' quiz which involved the two other schools sharing the hotel (the boys had to come from somewhere!) This was truly another memorable and enjoyable week which was made easy due to the excellent behaviour and enjoyment of all the girls. Ms Hansell, Mrs Packwood, Miss O'Neill and Miss Miles also had a fantastic time but are next year requesting a week off to recover! Roll on next year's ski trip. Juniors Enjoy A Windy Day The Towers Riding Team The first competition of the season Our first team (Hattie Shoosmith, Annabelle Grimes, Georgina Dunlavey & Alex Wright) jumped 70 cms and were unlucky not to be in the rosettes after a really good try by all four girls ‐ all of whom are new to team jumping. So a great experience for them to get out on the school teams’ circuit for the first time ‐ they were already looking forward to the next competition! Our second team jumped 80cms (Helena Dunlavey, Rachel Laurence, Katie Harris and Georgina Dunlavey) and came 8th! It was a really tricky course and only one school managed to get 3 riders round clear! So well done to them ‐ a very creditable result.

  • Storrington, Sullington and Washington Neighbourhood Plan
    Storrington, Sullington and Washington WASHINGTON PARISH COUNCIL Neighbourhood Plan Dear Sirs Storrington, Sullington & Washington Neighbourhood Plan: Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment Scoping Letter I set out below for your attention the proposed scope of the Sustainability Appraisal/Strategic Environmental Assessment (SA/SEA) to accompany the forthcoming Storrington, Sullington & Washington Neighbourhood Plan (SSWNP). This letter and its appendices should be regarded as the Scoping Report of the SSWNP in accordance with Stage A of the provisions of the Environmental Assessment of Plans & Programmes Regulations 2004 (which implement EU Directive 2001/42). As a statutory consultee in the Regulations you are invited to comment on this report and I would be grateful for your comment by 26th September 2014. Background The SSWNP is being prepared by the Storrington & Sullington Parish Council and Washington Parish Council as qualifying bodies under the 2012 Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations. In accordance with the 2004 Regulations 2004, the local planning authority, Horsham District Council, issued its formal screening opinion on 20 May 2014, concluding that an SEA is required and that it would prefer this is undertaken as part of a wider Sustainability Appraisal (SA/SEA). In its decision, the District Council has not made its reasons explicit for reaching this conclusion, but it is understood that the likely intention of the SSWNP to contain policies allocating land for development is the primary reason. A third of the designated area lies within the South Downs National Park and there are no European sites within the area, although the area does lie within the 15km buffer zone of the Arundel Valley SAC/SPA/Ramsar site.

  • N1091 Upper Beeding 6
    Issue 6 June 2009 My last report started with a reference to the state of the economy; we are now told that some 'green shoots' of recovery are being seen. Whether the economy is recovering or not is beyond my ken, but what is not in doubt is that the green shoots, and many other colours, of spring have arrived. Lovely to see all the spring flowers and the blossom on the trees after what has personally seemed a long winter. In the last issue I referred to the fact that the precept on Horsham District council had not changed and was soon after taken to task by a sharp eyed reader who noted that the Parish Council element of the council tax for the year had actually gone up. He was quite right, but that does not alter the fact that the money that the Parish Council requests has not changed. The rise results from the final calculations by the district Council and which are outside the PC's control. The Annual Parish Meeting was held on 22nd April with a turn out of about 40 people; there where short presentations from Rev. John Challis, newly appointed Rector of St. Peters and Mandy Johannsen, again relatively recently arrived as Head of the Upper Beeding Primary school. Additionally Andy Sharpe and Juliet Hindson gave a fascinating presentation on the Baptist church supported educational project in the Pokot region of Kenya. The Annual meeting, regrettably not publicised in out last issue, gives the opportunity for you to set the agenda for the meeting.

  • Shipley School Log Book for Boys' 1905 – 1917
    Shipley School Log Book for Boys’ 1905 – 1917 This is an analysis of key issues affecting the school. It is not a direct transcript. The analysis is mine, and I have highlighted consistent themes under headings which are as follows: Staff Average attendances Causes of absence Regular visitors to the school Religious observances and Diocesan exams Subjects studied and games played HM Inspector and academic achievement National events, celebrations and outings Fabric of school building Points of interest Children mentioned by name From 1914 to 1917 there is an additional heading – Events related to 1914 – 1918 War We do not have Admissions or Attendance Registers for this period so names of pupils is necessarily restricted to those who are specifically mentioned in the Log Book for a particular reason. Mr William Bacon Mr William Bacon was Headmaster of Shipley Boys’ School from 14th June 1876 until his retirement on 14th December 1917. (41 years and 6 months). He was a prolific writer and gives insight into the social conditions of the day. He frequently acted as handyman when drains became blocked or when essential repairs were needed. He acted as nurse when children were injured or collapsed. He recorded the details of the curriculum so that we may understand today the wide ranging subjects the children of the time experienced. After his retirement the school became co-educational under the headship of Miss Annie Penn. William Bacon appears to have been a firm but kind disciplinarian with a keen understanding of the conditions of deprivation which some pupils endured. He fed one boy from his own table; he was anguished to know that some boys suffered blisters through wearing boots too tight for them, and he sympathised with the children of the “poor, illiterate, itinerant classes” whose schooling and life chances were severely curtailed by constant interruptions in education.

  • Community Youth Work Quarterly Report Form Youth Worker: Emma Edwards Area: Steyning, Upper Beeding, Bramber & Ashurst Date: 25Th February 2015
    Community Youth Work Quarterly Report Form Youth worker: Emma Edwards Area: Steyning, Upper Beeding, Bramber & Ashurst Date: 25th February 2015 Main areas of work since last report Outcomes / Achievements Youth Café Youth café continues to run on a Monday night in Upper Beeding. We have seen a drop in numbers lately and have been delivering flyers and working on an advertising drive to get more young people along. We would particularly like to see the younger end year 9 pupils. We currently have two young people working putting together Youth Neighbourhood plan a youth survey to go out following the neighbourhood plan. We have now had two meetings and the young people have completed writing the survey really to be tested before distributing. The key areas they felt were important were housing, community and transport and so have focused on these. Youth Voice It is hoped that following the youth neighbourhood plan a new youth voice group can be established starting with the young people involved in writing the questionnaire. Emma has been approached by The Steyning Downlands Scheme to start a new Youth Vision group for young peoples input, as well as The Community partnership who wish to gather a group of young people to give input and participate into their work. It is hoped that these different groups can be one in the same and bring together a youth council for the area. Emma has been in touch with a pupil of Steyning Grammar school who has just been elected Member of Youth Parliament for East Arun, Adur Worthing and Member of Youth Cabinet for Steyning and Storrington.
