Summer Term

20 April 2018

Dear Parents,

A new term and the sun is shining at last. The children are loving their break times on the field and

the school is full of smiles! We were delighted to welcome Tianna and Charlie to their new school

on Tuesday morning.

Please note that the children should be in summer uniform now. The uniform list is on the website.

https://www.lancingcollege.co.uk/prep-worthing/uniform

At the beginning of the Easter holiday, a small group of children and Mr Richards and Mr Payne

went skiing with a party of children from Lancing Prep at Hove. They had the most wonderful time

and gave a very entertaining report of the trip in our welcome back assembly on Tuesday morning.

Mr Richards was keen to tell me that they had behaved beautifully and were excellent company – I

would expect no less from them.

As you are aware, Chris Taylor, caretaker here from 1999 to 2016, died last term after a long struggle

with his health. A former pupil, Kieren P, heard about this and was moved to write a tribute for him

which is included in this broadsheet.

I am delighted that Isobel B in Year 7 decided to make a difference and donated a significant

amount of her hair to The Princess Trust. Isobel is now sporting a lovely new bob. Thank you Isobel.

Huge congratulations to all the following for their fantastic achievements:

Will T, Year 7 who has enjoyed more success over the Easter holidays. He won the Grade 2 National

U12 Tournament at Sutton and in the Grade 3 Regional Tournament at the Weald Tennis Club, he

was the U12 singles winner, the U12 doubles winner and the U16 doubles winner. The rankings are

now changed and with his recent wins, makes him number 1 in the county, number 3 in the region

and number 7 in the country for U12 players!

Pippa S in Year 7 who competed in the Dengie Championships over the Easter holidays on Zazu.

She came 12th out of 87 riders aged 10 to 18 years of age.

Zen R, Year 3, who has been picked to represent Sussex in the Chess U9 National Final on 28 April.

Danny B, Year 5, who achieved his ABRSM, Violin, Grade 3 (Distinction).

Max W, Year 6, who achieved his ABRSM, Clarinet, Grade 3 (Merit).

Thomas W, Year 8, who achieved his ABRSM, Clarinet Grade 3 (Merit).

Lewis M, Year 5, who achieved his ABRSM, Piano, Grade 1.

James N, Year 7, who achieved his Trinity College London, Flute, Grade 3 (Distinction).

Erin M, Year 5, who achieved her Level 1 Music, St John Ambulance part of the Grand Prior Award

Scheme

Piper S, 5L, who achieved her Grade 1 Singing (Distinction)

Huge congratulations are also due to one of our Nursery parents. Kenny Tutt won this year’s

‘Masterchef’ and has a huge fan following at the school! I understand that many teachers and pupils

have been glued to the series in recent weeks!

Calling all Normans

Thank you to the Normans who have already taken on our house challenge and returned the tube of

smarties filled with 20p coins. If you haven’t already done so, please could you bring in your tube

on Monday? It doesn’t matter how full it is. We have already begun to raise a wonderful amount of

money for Open Arms Malawi. We really can make a difference.

Also a huge thank you and congratulations to Grace C who volunteered over the Easter holidays

raising £20 which she has kindly donated to our house charity.

Mrs Fudge

Chris Taylor

This was written by a past pupil who is now at Steyning Grammar. As you know, Chris died early

last term and was the school caretaker for many years. He was a much loved member of the school

community.

In memory of Chris Taylor

Chris Taylor was one of the greatest and strongest men I have known. He always supported me from when I

was two years old until I left Lancing. I remember him strapping me into the baby seat on the school bus. Eve-

ry day after school we used to race back to my door when he dropped me off. He used to let me win and even at

the age of two I recognised his compassion and the kindness he shared with me.

We always used to talk at school, we would share jokes. I would help him carry benches or tables at lunch or

assembly - he would never ask me to but I always would. He used to give me advice on how to make friends; I

used to be so shy and he managed to crack my shell like a hammer (conveniently).

I loved his stories. He used to tell me about the Saxons, Egyptians and anything he knew would interest me.

He was an excellent history teacher.

When I found out he was ill I was devastated because I knew how hard he worked at Lancing. There wasn’t a

day where he wouldn’t offer to help move or fix something at school - whether it was oiling a door or moving

some desks. He died after being ill for a long time, I’m glad he has finally found peace and the freedom from

pain he deserved. I know how painful it was for you, Mr T, to not be able to enjoy the things you used to love,

the simple things like a glass of beer, but for you I will raise a glass, I'll raise a glass to the freedom you have

finally received and deserved. I’ll never forget you and it won’t ever be the same without you. Rest in peace.

Kieren P

Next Friday we have our annual LPWA Curry and Quiz night which was snowed off last term! I

always look forward with anticipation to the curry on this brilliant evening but with some trepida-

tion to the quiz as there is significant rivalry between staff and parents!

Have a lovely weekend and enjoy the sunshine!

Best wishes,

PRE PREP INFORMATION

Progress Tests in English and Maths

This summer all pupils in Years 1 to 7 will be taking Progress Tests in English and Maths produced

by GL Assessment. Assessing pupils against the skills listed in our ‘Lancing Prep at Worthing Cur-

riculum Directories’ enables us to track the attainment and progress of pupils with regard to our

expectations. The Progress Tests will enable us to track the attainment and progress of our pupils

compared to pupils nationally.

Year 1 will complete paper tests but Years 2 to 7 will complete digital versions using a computer.

English tests combine a test of age appropriate English skills (spelling, grammar and punctuation)

with a test of reading comprehension.

Maths tests comprise questions on topics covered during the year. The tests for Years 3 to 7 also in-

clude a timed mental maths test.

The results of these tests will add to the ongoing assessments made by your child’s teachers and

help us to identify and confirm strengths, weaknesses and ‘next steps’.

In addition to the Progress Tests, pupils in Years 3 to 7 will take school exams in the following sub-

jects:

Exam Dates

Pupils in Years 5,6 and 7 will take French speaking tests w/b 23 April

Pupils in Years 5 and 6 will take English writing exams in English lessons w/b 23 April

Pupils in Years 5 to 7 will have exams and Progress Tests w/b 30 April (timetables on page 5)

Exams and Progress Tests for Years 3 to 4 will take place between 6 June and 12 June

Please ensure you avoid making any routine medical appointments during these weeks as it is not

possible to take exams at a later date.

Revision lists for years 5 to 7 were given out before Easter.

Results will be on your child’s end of year report.

Jacob and Sons

Choir Way way back many centuries ago,

Not long after the Bible began

Jacob lived in the land of Canaan,

A fine example of a family man.

Choir and Brothers: Jacob, Jacob and sons,

Choir Depended on farming to earn their keep.


Choir Spent all of his days in the fields with sheep.

Choir Jacob was the founder of a whole new nation

Thanks to the number of children he had

He was also known as Israel, but most of the time

His sons and his wives used to call him Dad.


Choir Men of the soil, of the sheaf and crook


Choir A remarkable family in anyone's book.

Choir Reuben was the eldest of the children of Israel

With Simeon and Levi the next in line

Naphtali and Isaachar with Asher and Dan

Zebulun and Gad took the total to nine


Choir Benjamin and Judah, which leaves only one


Choir Joseph - Jacob's favourite son

All Jacob, Jacob and sons,

Jacob, Jacob and sons,

Jacob, Jacob and sons,

Jacob, Jacob, Jacob, Jacob and sons,

Joseph's Coat Year 3 Part

Jacob Joseph's mother, she was quite my favourite wife

I never really loved another all my life

And Joseph was my joy because

He reminded me of her

Choir Through young Joseph, Jacob lived his youth again Ba-ba, ba-ba

Loved him, praised him, gave him all he could, but then Ba-ba, ba-ba

It made the rest feel second best Oo-ee-oo, Oo-ee-oo-oo

And even if they were - And Even if they were -

Brothers Being told we're also-rans

Does not make us Joseph fans

Choir But where they had really missed the boat is

Brothers We're great guys but no-one seems to notice

Choir Joseph's charm and winning smile Ah

Failed to slay them in the aisle Ah

And his father couldn't see the danger Ah

He could not imagine any danger Ah

He just saw in Joseph all his dreams come true

Jacob wanted to show the world he loved his son

To make it clear that Joseph was the special one

So Jacob bought his son a coat

A multi-coloured coat to wear

Brothers Joseph's coat was elegant, the cut was fine Ba-ba, ba-ba

The tasteful style was the ultimate in good design Ba-ba, ba-ba

And this is why it caught the eye Oo-ee-oo, Oo-ee-oo-oo

A king would stop and stare A king would stop and stare

Choir And when Joseph tried it on

He knew his sheepskin days were gone

Such a dazzling coat of many colours Such a dazzling coat of many colours

How he loved his coat of many colours How he loved his coat of many colours

In a class above the rest Ah

It even went well with his vest Ah

Such a stunning coat of many colours Ah

How he loved his coat of many colours Ah

It was red and yellow and green and

Brown and blue

Joseph's brothers weren't Ba-ba

Too pleased with what they saw Ba-ba

Brothers We have never liked him Ba-ba

All that much before Ba-ba

And now this coat

Has got our goat

We feel life is unfair

Choir And when Joseph graced the scene And when Joseph graced the scene

His brothers turned a shade of green His brothers turned a shade of green

His astounding clothing took the biscuit His astounding clothing took the biscuit

Brothers Quite the smoothest person in the district

Joseph I look handsome, I look smart Ah

I am walking work of art Ah

Such a dazzling coat of colours Ah

How I love my coat of many colours Ah

Choir It was red and yellow and green and brown

And scarlet and black and ochre and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve Ah

And cream and crimson and silver and rose Ah

And azure and lemon and russet and grey Ah

And purple and white and pink and orange Ah

And red and yellow and green and brown and

Scarlet and black and ochre and peach

And ruby and olive and violet and fawn

And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve Ah

And cream and crimson and silver and rose Ah

And azure and lemon and russet and grey Ah

And purple and white and pink and orange And purple and white and pink and orange
