The beach boardwalk is only a few minutes away which has really made the beach accessible for walking our puppy or even for an early morning jog. The village has everything you need and really comes alive on one of the many weekend farmers or artisan market days. We often stroll into town for them and have lunch in one of the excellent cafes and restaurants, you really are spoilt for choice here. The Ropetackle Arts Centre always has a good production on, as well as the various events and festivals that happen on the riverside green, next to the new award winning, glass, Ferry Bridge.” In the Local Area Old Fort Road is a very child-friendly area to live in and the local private schools provide a shuttle pick-up service.

In the face of the challenges and anxiety generated by the coronavirus, Lancing is still echoing with the sounds of a Lent Term rich and strange. College life altered radically as the impacts of the coronavirus were felt and ultimately, like all schools, we were subject to early closure. However, even amidst all the anxiety and disturbance, my abiding memories of these weeks are of remarkable solidarity and positive energy from every quarter. There was a heightened desire to relish and to share every opportunity and as the days unfurled there was a great deal to celebrate, from packed final League Run races to the ever-competitive and eclectic House Music Competition. As we moved to lockdown pupils and teachers alike embraced the prospect offered by technology to learn together in new and exciting ways. One of the great joys of school life is that, amidst their worries, the adaptability of young people and their willingness to adopt the new and the different are so strong.

    Lancing Prep Hove Newsletter A Lancing College Preparatory School Spring Term | 8 March 2019 Diary Dates & Notices are on Page 8 Message from Mrs Keep That our newsletter is always filled with so many activities speaks volumes, and another fortnight has passed with an enormous amount of learning having happened away from books. While most of the children (and teachers!) enjoyed wearing their pyjamas and slippers yesterday, the Year 5 children were at Kew and the Year 6 children at the theatre at Lancing College. Determined not to miss out, they did a fantastic job of lobbying their teachers and I was delighted to see them all in their pyjamas on Friday. Earlier in the week, the Prep School children gathered in eager anticipation for the annual House Pancake Race. A relatively new tradition, this year’s event involved chefs’ hats and aprons, hurdles and the inevitable pancake toss. A close-fought race was won by Lavies – confirmed after a brief steward’s enquiry into the teachers’ support of their Houses! There is more in this newsletter about Make a Difference Day, The Pre-Prep had great fun in and all that the children chose to do to improve the world they their Pancake Race.

Tel 01903 812185 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.towers.w-sussex.sch.uk Welcome Welcome to this edition of ‘Towers News’ which covers most events from Christmas half-term 2011 to Christmas half-term 2012. When I first took over the publication in 2003 it was a much smaller affair with fewer photographs but now ‘like Topsy’ it has grown and this, my last ‘Towers News’, is more like the size of my MA thesis except I do hope that it is far more interesting to read! I would like to thank everyone who has contributed articles and photographs with particular thanks to Jason Relf who has used his considerable IT skills to assemble the finished booklet and to Sister Mary Andrew for her invaluable proof-reading ability. Carole Baker MA Headmistress Celebrating the Harvest The theme of the Junior School Harvest festival in 2011 was ‘Colours’. The Nursery children made a beautiful rainbow altar frontal and also presented a very different rendition of ‘somewhere over the rainbow’, whilst modelling club produced some wonderful sunflowers for the chapel windowsills. Harvest colours were celebrated through songs including a few old favourites ‘Cauliflowers fluffy and cabbages green’ and ‘Colours of Day’. The choir and its various sub-sections sang a beautiful and most appropriate harvest hymn entitled ‘Give Thanks’. The remainder of the service contained some lovely elements: poems written by Year 6; an amusing enactment of ‘The Enormous Turnip’ by Reception and Year 1; a percussion piece called ‘Chinese Lanterns’ built on a pentatonic scale composed and performed by Year 4; Joseph and his multi-coloured dream-coat by Year 3; Year 4’s ‘Food Colours’ song which fitted in wonderfully with the theme and a beautifully choreographed angel fish dance presented by Year 2.

  • Ashurst Ce Aided Primary School Home-School Partnership
    ASHURST CE AIDED PRIMARY SCHOOL HOME-SCHOOL PARTNERSHIP The Headteacher’s Review of 2016-2017 & Preview of 2017-2018 The academic year 2016-2017 was an amazingly full and exciting one, with much being achieved by individual pupils, cohorts of pupils and by the school as a whole: spiritually and creatively as part of the Diocesan ‘Year of the Bible’, chorally at the Chanctonbury and Ashurst Music Festivals, athletically in the Chanctonbury Schools’ Cricket and Football Tournaments, and the Horsham Tag Rugby Competition, astutely on the chess boards as finalists in the annual County Chess Tournament, wisely at the Citizenship Programme, tastefully on the Cookery Days at Shoreham College and reflectively at the Y6 pupils’ own enactment of The Easter Story at St James’ Church in April. Also horticulturally as second place winners for our Bumbles’ Garden runner beans and courgettes, in the Ashurst Flower Show at the end of the year- all thanks to the commitment, generosity of spirit and wonderful support of all associated with the school once again. There were so many happy times and thrilling moments, many now forming part of the tradition of the school, and all eagerly anticipated and awaited by pupils, parents, carers and staff alike: FAPS Family BBQ and Easter Egg Hunt, Bikeability Week, Infant Nativity, Swimming at The Towers, Christingle Service at St James’ Church and also, way back in September, the three school Sponsored Walks for all pupils along the River Adur, singing, praying and thanking God for the bounty of autumn. There was the amazing performance by the whole school of ‘RED RIDING HOOD at Christmas, the seven class ‘Curriculum Visits’ to places of interest including Arundel Castle, Brighton Museum and Preston Manor, the Y5&Y6 Residential Visit to SWANAGE, seven Parent Consultation Mornings/Afternoons, five Open Afternoons, three Sharing Assemblies, two Leavers’ Services AND representation once again in the annual Ashurst Flower Show, as mentioned above.
