ROCK CHALLENGE 2016
We competed at the Rock Challenge Southern Area Open Final on
Tuesday 21st June and were lucky enough to gain 5th place. The standard
at the final was exceptionally high and our Rock Challenge team performed
brilliantly, despite having a technical hitch at the beginning with the
soundtrack. Our students demonstrated high levels of professionalism,
maintaining their focus throughout and truly showcasing the incredible
talent we have at the school. We managed to win 11 awards including ‘Best
Choreography’ and ‘Best Drama Skills’, as well as awards for each
member of our technical team including ‘Best Stage Crew’, ‘Best Lighting’
and ‘Best Video Direction’. We couldn’t be prouder of all of our students,
they were a real credit to
us and we are already
thinking ahead to next
year!
I would like to take the
opportunity to thank Miss
Martin, Miss Pratt, Mr
Jenner, Mrs Fullman and
Ryan Pellett for all their
support with the
competition.

Security and Safety of the School Site Outside School Hours
In recent weeks there have been a number of incidents that have caused me to review
our approach to the security of the school site outside the school day.
I need to remind everyone that the school grounds are private property and that they
should not be used as a cut through from one side of the village to the other, for playing
games or walking dogs.
In the past few weeks there have been a number of occasions when young people have
been on the school site during the night. There has been damage done and there was
one serious accident. We have reported these incidents to the police and helped them
identify the people involved.
The police have already taken action regarding one incident. In this case, there has
been a formal Community Resolution with compensation to the school. The young
people involved have apologised to me and the school, with the main person telling me
that he knows that he should not have been on the school grounds and that his actions
were totally wrong. He understands that any similar actions would lead to an even more
serious response from the school and the police.

BBC Reporting with John Young
Year 6 students from our locality schools joined our Year 7 and Year 8
students for a brilliant day learning about how English is used outside of
school. The students had lots of fun becoming journalists for the day and
using different pieces of equipment. It was lovely to see how many students
started the day feeling shy, but by the end everyone wanted to volunteer to
take part.
School Games Finals
On Thursday 23rd June, The Angmering School took two
teams , a boccia and NAK team, to represent the Southern
Area, to the school games at the K2. The boccia team Josh
Jones, Sam Elliott and Louis Saunders played incredibly well
winning all their group games securing their place in the semifinals. The NAK team of Freya Mckenna and Lucy King played
well winning 3 games, drawing one and losing one on their
route to the semi final. The boccia team won their semi final
comfortably after a slow start. It was a very tense final as the
team went 3-0 down but they bounced back and scored 4 in
the last end to take home gold.
The NAK team also won their semi and played their best in
their final channelling their opponents all the way to win the
match 2-1.
Overall it was an amazing day for Angmering and the
Southern Area in the School Games. Thanks to the staff who
took us and good luck to all those competing in next week’s
final, bring home some more medals.

London to Paris Fundraising Event for the LNC Charitable Trust
Monday 20th June was the inaugural London to Paris endeavour. We started small with only 38
students taking part. The students chose their sport, from Pro II, cycling, running, wheelchair racing or
swimming, then buddied up with a member of staff. The aim was to complete the 206 miles from one of
the London to Paris cycle routes. The students (and staff) pushed themselves to the limit. In the pool a
total of 11 miles were achieved, a massive achievement considering you need to swim 3 lengths of the
hydro pool to make just 25m, so to reach a mile a mammoth 192 lengths needing to be swam - an epic
feat. All the swimmers made personal bests in their number of lengths and should be really proud of
themselves.
On to the track (well indoor track as it was raining very heavily) with all performers, either running or in
wheelchairs, competing valiantly. 27 laps were needed for a mile and the students and staff paced
themselves beautifully to ensure that the greatest distances possible were covered. In total 106 miles
were covered on the track.
Finally the cyclists with again a strong event on the recumbent bikes meaning the students and staff
racked up huge miles and went over the predicted final score. We were aiming for 206 and we finished
with an outstanding 224 miles!
A huge thanks to Mrs Searle for her excellent planning and organisation of the day. In addition to the
great day it was lovely to have Beckie Saunders, a Trustee of the LNC Charitable Trust, join us for the
day and show her support.
A massive thanks to all those who took part and helped us raise much needed money: The total will be
announced as soon as the money has been collected.

International Hockey at Lee Valley
On Monday 13th June we travelled to Lee Valley Hockey and
Tennis Centre to watch some international hockey in the last
tournament before Rio. We got there eventually to see GBR
beat Korea 4-1. It was a great game with our men showing
some great skill and tenacity. During the Australia V Germany
game the heavens opened but we were undeterred and they
repaid our dedication by giving us some great hockey to watch.
Despite the weather trying to put us off the students were keen
to watch the last game of the day, which again showed what
lots of dedication, hard work and teamwork can look like! It
was a long day with the students behaving brilliantly and they
were a credit to the school. Hopefully the students now feel
inspired ahead of the new season in September!!

Well done Abigail for
your Double Diamond
Award!
Some months ago one of our staff had their email account hacked. This was by the
technique known as "phishing". We reported the incident to the Information
Commissioner's Office. We have no evidence that any data has been misused but
they have asked that we inform those for whom there may have been an issue.
The staff member's emails did contain confidential information relating to some
students concerning behaviour and family situation, and staff about sickness and
professional conduct. We do not believe that access to this information is likely to give
rise to concern.
We reviewed our email protocols and Acceptable Use of IT Policy. Guidance has been
updated and shared with users of the school systems.
If you have any concerns about this or any other IT or Information related issue please
contact Marc Ginnaw, our IT Manager and Data Controller,
via [email protected]
Well done to Mr and Mrs Lynch, parents of Jennifer Lynch 9RL.

Put these dates in your diary and come along
and support the students!

heliolatry
noun
Sun worship
Archaeologists believe that the members of the ancient civilization practiced heliolatry because each temple faced east, toward the rising
sun.
Etymology
The first half of heliolatry derives from hēlios, the Greek word for "sun." In Greek mythology, Hēlios was the god of the sun, imagined as
"driving" the sun as a chariot across the sky. From hēlios we also get the word helium, referring to the very light gas that is used in
balloons and airships, and heliocentric, meaning "having or relating to the sun as center," as in "a heliocentric orbit." The suffix -latry,
meaning "worship," derives via Late Latin and French from the Greek latreia, and can be found in such words as bardolatry ("worship of
Shakespeare") and zoolatry ("animal worship"). A person who worships the sun is called aheliolater.
Foreign translations:
French: heliolatry
German: heliolatry
Spanish: heliolatry
Swedish: heliolatry
