Dear Parents
Evensong on Sunday 6pm – it is advertised separately but please do come along, if you would like to.
Scholars’ Concert – the very best of Battle Abbey School music was on display this Tuesday. Twenty of our finest musicians played, sang and entertained us. One guest thought that there could be very few schools in the South East of England who could match the depth of talent. This statement is probably impossible to prove but I, for one, was bursting with pride, as I often am, because of the achievements of our pupils and teachers.
Sixth Form Open Evening – there was a very good turn out and a larger than usual number of visitors from outside of the school. We talked, among much else, of the possibility of starting new A Level subjects. At the moment, out of Politics, Philosophy and Photography, the latter two seem the most popular. I also informed students and parents that a significant upgrade to the Sixth Form area would take place in time for September. However, above all, I talked about the excitement of study at this level and the sea change that our pupils encounter after GCSE. The Sixth Form experience at BAS is very special – the icing on the cake for our pupils and staff!
FOBAS Quiz Night – a sell-out! Former parent and quizmaster of longstanding, Alan Covall, will again remind all those present of the two disastrous years when the Headmaster joined a hapless and unsuspecting team and how the Headmaster had to come and receive the wooden spoon on behalf of the team. For many years I have hidden shamefaced behind the bar on the night of the quiz not daring to attach myself and my unenviable reputation to any group but tonight I’m making a come-back. I think that my team is called the “Likely Losers”.
“The Boyfriend” – this term’s senior musical. You will have seen the advertisements. Do come along and enjoy some high quality, live theatre.
Best wishes
Roger Clark
