Newsletter: September 11th 2015
Dear Parents
Dear Parents,
Welcome back to another great year of learning! The start of the school year has
been filled with great anticipation and excitement and I have been delighted to see
the children returning to School looking so revitalised after their summer break.
Can I take this opportunity to welcome all our new children and their families
as they join our School community. The Prep School has been alive with chatter
as everyone catches up with news of activities from the fun-filled break. Existing
friendships have been re-kindled and new ones are developing throughout the
School.
I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our new parents
who have joined this term whilst also welcoming back all our
existing families – and I very much hope that you have had a restful
and adventurous summer break.
On 3rd September, our new Reception children accomplished a key milestone in
their lives – their very first day at School! They arrived at their classroom excited
and possibly a little nervous; dressed smartly in their brand new uniform prepared for the day ahead. Mrs Geal and Mrs Thompson were there to give them a
warm Battle Abbey welcome and before long they were soon learning and playing
together.
Mr Ball led a very interesting assembly on what it means to be British. This led on
to looking at the life of Queen Elizabeth the II as she became the longest reigning
monarch in British history. All the children were given a special coin to commemorate this occasion.
This week we announced our School Council representatives for this half year.
These are hotly contested positions of responsibility as many of the representatives were chosen by their class peers.
Congratulations go to:•

•
Annabel Lowe – Year 1;
Emilia Goldsmith – Year 2;
Paige Mockridge – Year 3;
Samuel Duckett – Year 4;
Imogen Wheatley – Year 5; and
Jemima Larkin – Year 6
who were presented with special badges. The children are already speaking to their
respective classes as to how we can make our School even better than it already is.
On Wednesday our Year 5/6 footballers headed off to the Abbey for their first
games of the season; their opposition being Years 7/8. A great afternoon was had
by all and the Prep footballers manged to win through good team play aided by
goals from Jay Stovell-Davies and Jemima Larkin.
It was so lovely to see many of our families at our “Meet and Greet” afternoon
yesterday. This gave both new and existing parents the chance to get to know each
other over a cup of tea. Staff and members of FOBAS were also on hand to chat
to new and established parents alike.
The first full week has flown by and the children have all settled really well. It has
been lovely watching our Reception Class integrating happily and confidently into
our School community and to see the enthusiastic attitude of every child towards
School life at the start of this new academic year. Staff have been busy arranging
exciting events and activities which will enhance the children’s learning and I know
that the children will gain greatly from these inspiring experiences.
For everyone at the Prep School there is a wonderful sense of a new beginning
and a fresh start and we look forward with great anticipation to another successful
year.
The senior school has had a busy period over July and August not
least the intrepid students who braved the expedition to Kenya –
which proved a huge success. Those taking part in Duke of
Edinburgh expeditions were equally tested physically and
mentally and have benefitted enormously from a series of
challenging experiences. Many students also took part in the singing
course - brilliantly organised and led by Mrs Coleman and I am
indebted to her and to members of the chamber choir who sang
at the funeral of our school solicitor at short notice during the
holidays. Finally, Mr Dennett and his team oversaw our first ever
language summer course for prospective boarders which proved
really useful in not just improving the standard of English of those
taking part but has helped them no end to settle into the rhythms
and routines of life in Battle and at the Abbey.
On the staffing front Hazel Sweetman has joined the Maths
Department and Rebecca Ingall joins us to teach English. We also
have Francesca Grando (Dance) Sarah Morison & Tom Munro
(Biology), David Beal (drama) who are here to cover maternity and
adoption leave and Emma Wilson has been employed part-time to
be our specialist art technician. We are delighted too by the safe
arrival of Florence Buckland and proud that Dr. D has been elected
as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Student news is dominated by our recent public exam results
which were really impressive on so many levels. At the top end we
had students achieving 3A* grades at A2 level (which is an
extraordinary achievement) whilst also seeing a large number of
amazing personal bests secured by students of all abilities. Alas,
like most schools around the country, we have fallen victim to
inadequacies in the marking procedures but, at least, many re-marks
have resulted in improved grades. Overall though, we are
immensely proud of what our students have achieved and, once
again, very grateful to the dedicated teachers for their on-going
support.
Outside the academic sphere, our students have won a range of
accolades this summer. Both Susan Li and Christie Samms have had
work selected for the Pure Arts Exhibition – a prestigious national
event in the art calendar. In sport, James Fosbery became the
regional time trial cycling champion, William Ashenden is now
ranked 3rd in the country in his fencing age category, George
Sternberg Allen competed for England in horse-riding at the
European Cup in Switzerland, Lars Thorkildsen has been selected
to play rugby for the Norway men’s national team against Bulgaria
and Freddie Simes has been selected to represent team GB at
the sailing world championships in Lankawi, Malaysia. Not to be
outdone, our choristers have been asked to perform at both the
900th anniversary concert at St. Mary’s and at the International
Composer’s Festival.
With best wishes.
As you can imagine, all this good news has given us a spring in our
steps for the start of term and we are looking ahead with real
optimism to the future.
Maria Maslin
Best wishes.

Nursery News
It has been great to welcome everyone back to Nursery after the
summer break; the children have
settled well and have been busy
sharing all their holiday news with
us. We also have a number of new
families join us and we would like
to welcome Alice, Dinah, Henry,
Lola, Mason and Shazi to Nursery.
Little Squirrels, our parent and
toddler group made a return also this week and it was lovely to see some familiar families return and some new families join us. If you know a
family with a toddler under two years old please invite them to join us on Monday afternoons between 1.30pm to 3pm.
We have been making the most of the beautiful September weather and the children have really enjoyed playing on the school field, practising
their ball skills and collecting blackberries and pears for baking activities. We hope this lovely weather continues but please ensure your child
still brings in a named change of clothes, waterproof coat and wellington boots so that they can play and learn outside whatever the weather.
The Oaks class will be commencing their Forest School sessions on Friday mornings from next week; forest school booklets are being sent out,
please speak to a member of staff if you have any questions and ensure that the forest school authority form is returned by next Thursday.
We hope that you have spotted our new nursery library shelves in the entrance hall, please borrow a book by signing it out and back in again.
The children find it very exciting to borrow nursery books and it’s a great way to support their language development and literacy skills by
sharing a book together at home each day if possible.
Our nursery vegetable patch survived the summer holidays and the children have enjoyed picking the carrots, washing and cutting them up for
snack time alongside the abundance of pears we’re enjoying from the pear trees in our garden.
Painting has been a particular favourite activity with the children this week which has included a fun outdoor large scale foot printing session,
hand and foot printing indoors, painting the shed with water and pear printing. Our travel agents in the role play area has also been popular and
has encouraged the children to share their holiday experiences and bring those into their play such as talking about transport, packing, swimming, making sandcastles and visiting family and friends.
Thank you for updating the staff and your child’s learning journey with photographs or news from the summer, the children have enjoyed sharing these with us and it’s great to be able to support bringing these experiences into their play.
We wish you all a lovely weekend,
Mrs Rapley and the Nursery Team.

Jemima stars at Glyndebourne
On 9th August Jemima Newman (Year 4) took a staring role in
Glyndebournes opera ‘The Rape of Lucretia’ with Jemima playing
Lucretia’s daughter. In addition to the live performance the opera is
live streamed to the Kino cinema Hawkhurst among others. It is a
very small cast and being directed by Fiona Shaw (the actress who
played Harry Potter’s aunt) and Jemima has found it equally exciting
and exhausting! A star in the making!
School Snapshot
Headmaster David Clark addresses new Battle Abbey Senior School
parents at the New Pupil’s Tea Party.
Dr Eric Demoncheaux elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry.
Dr Demoncheaux’s work helped Battle Abbey School’s receive the highly sought after eMature accreditation in 2012 through Liverpool John
Moore’s University by pioneering the integrated use of digital technologies and developing teaching resources.
These new approaches, which enhance engagement and learning using ICT, are routinely used by teachers from the Nursery, Prep-School and
Senior School making Battle Abbey School one of the best in the UK. They allowed him to create successful partnerships between industry and
academia as Head of Science at Battle Abbey School and Professor of Chemistry at Bader International Study Centre (Herstmonceux Castle)
and Queen’s University (Canada).
In electing him to a Fellowship, the Royal Society of Chemistry noted that his work is revealing new paradigms in Science Learning and Teaching.
Dr Demoncheaux said “The real praise belongs to students, post-docs, technicians, and teachers who have worked with me over the past
twenty years; I thank them.
“As a French and a European, I note that Battle Abbey School was an undertaking founded by French and English people that has for more than
900 years united people to pursue a shared interest. My career has relied on working with and teaching people from across the UK, Europe and
the world. Science has no nationality, no borders and is a collective enterprise; things that I greatly value.

Pure Arts
Former Pupil Update
Some pictures of the Textiles pieces which were selected for the for
the Pure Arts fair due to take place in September 2015. Show
coordinator Lesley Samms was very impressed with all the School’s
Textiles and chose three pieces for the highly attended annual exhibition made up of talented professional artists from around Sussex.
Former pupil and artist Amanda
Chalmers (Left 2003) had a
double lung transplant in
September 2013, since when she
has made the most of her new
found strength and ability to
move freely, as well as breathe
easily!
Mrs Townshend said; ‘It is wonderful to get three Textiles pieces into
the show and considered as ‘Fine Art Textiles’ showing that in a
Spiritual and moral sense Textiles art can be just as valid and insightful
as a painting or a sculpture.’
Amanda ran and completed the
Brighton marathon last year, and
is now about to embark on an
expedition to Ecuador with 12
other transplantees, to climb Mt
Cotopaxi, to increase transplant
awareness as well as raise funds
for organ support machines
which should make transplants
more easily available for others.
The pieces that were selected were: ‘Faces and Facades’ a screen
printed and hand stitched piece by Mandy Chau, ‘The Seven Deadly
Sins’ hand-printed, digitally printed and machine embroidered
cushions by Alice Stephenson and finally ‘Ancestry’, also by Alice
Stephenson, which uses embellished wools and screen printing to
depict Alice’s family tree.
For those who get to the top of Mt Cotopaxi, it would also be the
highest that transplanted lungs have ever reached (it is higher than Mt
Kilimanjiro), This is of course also to honour the donors of their lungs
and hearts, and in the hope this will encourage others to register as
donors.
Amanda’s giving site is www.justgiving.com/Challenge12uk-climbingformydonor
What an inspiration.
UPDATE!
Amanda got to 5350m high before they had to turn back, but
definitely set a record for the highest that female transplanted lungs
have ever reached!
Lars makes
Leap to
Nationals
Lars Thorkildsen (Year
13) has been invited to
join the squad to play
for Norway XV 1st team
in the European Cup
against Bulgaria on the
3rd October.
This will be his 1st
team debut, and a great
honour to represent
Norway. It’s also a great
honour for BAS to have
a pupil receive their first
senior international cap.
Well done Lars.

George top of the class in
European Competition
It’s been a busy Summer for Battle Abbey equestrian star George
Sternberg Allen.
After the FEI event in Switzerland, George went on to compete in
Paris at the Reining Horse European Affiliate Championships. For this
competition you have to qualify in the previous year and be in the
top 10 of your category in your country. George had qualified in the
‘13 years and under’ last year and also in the ‘14yrs-18years’ after his
birthday last September. It was a very strong field from 9 different
nations and George rode well, being the highest placed British rider in
the ‘13yrs and under’ classes. In the ‘14yrs through 18yrs’ class he had
to be content with a place in the top 15, being the youngest rider in
the class with the least experience!
School Snapshot

holidays, in which he played the son of Macduff (murdered onstage)
and three other parts.
A short three days later and George was back in the saddle for the
Garden of England International show! Once again George held his
own in the Junior classes with some good runs but ended the competition with a flourish, winning the “Rookie” class. This is a class open
to all ages and George was the only young rider competing, so was
thrilled to win the class against some good adult riders. This will help
him qualify for this division at the 2016 Affiliate Championships to be
held in Poland.
George has been a great ambassador for Battle Abbey, behaving in a
mature and sportsmanlike way, despite being very nervous and we are
very proud of him.
Next show is the British Reining National Championships to be held
on October 3/4th. Watch this space!
Greek Summer School and Conference
At the end of the summer term, Mrs Rapley and Mrs Richardson from
the Nursery alongside Dr Demoncheux, Head of Science from the
Senior School, were honoured to be invited to an European Union
international conference being held in Athens in recognition of our
focus in working with ICT throughout our whole school. We met teachers and professionals from most countries within Europe, sharing best
practice ideas, experiences and attending training together as part of the Open Discovery Space Summer School. In our brief spare time we
enjoyed beautiful sunset tours of the Acropolis and the Temple of Poseidon. It was a worthwhile conference and our collaborations with the
EU partners in this project are continuing this year.

Kate Riches (Year 12) has made a big effort to visit both the Towner Art Gallery in Eastbourne and the Bridget Riley exhibition at the De La
Warr in Bexhill over the Summer, and this is the work she did as a result of her visits.
This shows true motivation and the ability to be pro-active in keeping her creativity going in the holidays.

William third in Country!
William began fencing for the Tongswood Fencing Club at Saint Ronan’s School in
Hawkhurst and has been fencing seriously since the beginning of Year 6.
He competes all over the country in the Leon Paul Junior Series which is the best way
to start fencing competitively. During the summer holidays he won a bronze medal at
the Leon Paul International Competition in London and a silver medal at the Leon Paul
North West Sabre in Oldham near Manchester.
Following his success he is now ranked joint third in the country in his age-group
(Under 13 boys). He is also the reigning South East Champion having won the gold
medal at the South East Qualifiers for the British Youth Championships (BYCs) last
term. William fought extremely well at the BYCs in Sheffield where he came in the
top third in his age-group. Having left his prep school William is now competing for
the Malling MX Fencing Club.
