Dear Parents
Many things about Battle Abbey School have impressed me this term, not least the selfless attitude of the staff and pupils towards charitable endeavours. It is wonderful to see students taking a lead in campaigning for and supporting a variety of worthwhile charities. The engagement with the ‘Love in a Box’ project was hugely encouraging as was the student body’s response to Remembrance Day and to Mr Carver’s excellent and moving Assembly.
Another special aspect of Battle Abbey School is the fact that we are effectively one school in three parts. On that note, I have particularly enjoyed visiting and hosting the Prep School and Nursery on several occasions this term. It is the best therapy imaginable popping down to the Bexhill site on a weekly basis and being greeted by a sea of smiling faces as well as a tsunami of energy and enthusiasm. Furthermore, I managed to spend time meeting each year 6 pupil individually this week and was impressed by their talents and with the way in which they interacted with me in such an open, confident and positive manner – they are a real tribute to their School.
Half-term has come and gone so quickly but I would like to thank all the staff who worked so hard to organise the very well-attended Harold’s Night Disco and the Languages Department for their efforts in overseeing another very successful German Exchange. I was also delighted with the success of the equestrian team over the holidays and I would like to congratulate Ms Malewicz on winning two silver medals in the recent Kick-Boxing World Championships – another exceptional achievement.
I was pleased to meet a good number of parents at the recent 6th Form Consultation Evening and I look forward to meeting more of you in the coming weeks. Finally – I hope to welcome as many of you as possible to the Music Scholar’s Concert next Tuesday.
Best wishes
David Clark
