Dear Parents,
I am not sure where to start my letter. We have had so much to celebrate this week and so many
opportunities for children to excel and love learning with the added bonus of glorious sunshine most
days!
Six of our Year 8 pupils have been studying hard for the ISEB Common Academic Scholarship
examinations which took place at the beginning of May. These gruelling exams are not for the faint
hearted and this week we had fabulous news:
Alex B, Henry S and Thomas W have been awarded academic scholarships to Lancing College.
Theo C and Erin R have been awarded academic exhibitions to Lancing College, and
Erin W has gained entry to Brighton College on scholarship papers. I am immensely proud of all of these
young people who have worked so hard and achieved at the highest level. They are a great credit to their
school and their families.
On Monday, our senior peer angels led by Beatrice T, in Year 7, delivered an assembly to the Prep School
for the start of Mental Health Week. The children spoke with compassion and knowledge about a subject
which has relevance for everyone and we were all very proud of them. While older children were
learning about mental health, our Year 2 pupils boarded a bus and departed for Marwell Zoo to learn
about the animals there. They were still full of excitement about all they had seen in our assembly on
Tuesday morning. Favourites were penguins and meerkats!
On Tuesday some of our Year 6 pupils travelled to Lancing College to take part in the annual Science
Challenge whilst others went to play at West Worthing Lawn Tennis Club. We didn’t win the science
challenge this year but we were delighted that Emma S was part of the group that won the Chemistry
prize and Cal N was part of the group that won the Physics prize. Everyone enjoyed the afternoon.
On Wednesday morning, Kenny Tutt, this year’s winner of Masterchef visited us and I have rarely seen
such a frenzy of excitement in school! He baked scones with the nursery children and took part in a
Ready Steady Cook, omelette challenge narrowly beating Mrs Milling who switched off her induction
ring by accident part way through the challenge! Kenny’s messages for the children were incredibly
powerful. He spoke about the importance of doing something he loved and the fact that in order to
succeed you have to be prepared to fail and pick yourself up and keep going. Felix D in Year 8
interviewed him in our assembly and his answers to questions from a young Masterchef expert were
thoughtful, honest and fascinating. Thank you, Kenny. We think you’re great!
Thursday brought radiant sunshine and a new after school musical event, ‘Fizz on the Lawn’. The
afternoon started with the Concert Band, followed by CSI, the sax and clarinet group, and then a group
of talented musicians from Lancing College which included four of our past pupils and Kitty, Mrs
Casey’s talented daughter, who is currently performing in Madama Butterfly at Glyndebourne. It was a
joyful evening of music with families sitting on picnic blankets in front of our new drama studio. We
would like to thank Dr Morgan-Williams and Mr Chris Langworthy for helping us to create something
so special.

This afternoon, Henry S, Will T, Joe C, Bradley H departed to the Bede's Tennis Tournament at East-
bourne. At the time of writing I am waiting to hear how they have done and I am hoping for good news!
Tomorrow we have our final Open Morning of the academic year and I would like to thank in advance
those of you who are supporting us for this occasion. It will finish in time for everyone to get home for
the Royal Wedding!
Many congratulations to: Zen R, Zach P, John H, Danny B and Loic M who represented the school at the
Chess Sussex MegaFinal last Saturday. The MegaFinal is an individual event (not a school team event)
and includes players of county and national standard. We are proud of them all and delighted that Zen,
Zach and Danny made it through to the Gigafinal.
To qualify for the GigaFinal is an outstanding achievement and needs a score of 3.5 from games at the
MegaFinal.) A full report on the Sussex MegaFinal with lots of photos can be found at
https://sussexjuniorchess.org/sussex-megafinal/
Many congratulations also to Sophia B, who competed at English Championship qualifiers for trampolin-
ing last weekend and in a very daunting environment completed two clean routines and came a respect-
able 26th out of 33. This is a major achievement as she does not yet have the level of difficulty of the older
children in her group and it bodes very well for the future.
The Good Schools’ Guide has published a brilliant review of Lancing College which you may like to
read. Please follow the link:
https://www.goodschoolsguide.co.uk/schools/lancing-college/24E6C96#tab_review
Next week we look forward to more music on Wednesday at our Pre-Prep concert in the afternoon and
Prep Soiree in the evening. If you would like to join us for the Soiree, drinks will be served at 5.30pm in
the dining room. The Soiree will start at 6.00pm.
On Thursday, we will welcome our new Reception children to our annual Teddy Bears’ Picnic. This is
always an exciting occasion.
On Friday, Year 4 will be visiting Pulborough Brooks and, after school, the LPWA will be raising funds
by selling ice pops in the playground for ‘Frozen Friday’! What a lovely way to complete this half term!
Have a very happy weekend.
Best wishes,

PREP INFORMATION
Senior Art Club
Please note that there is no Senior Art Club on Monday due to a Staff Liaison Meeting at the College.
Mrs Lloyd
On Tuesday, twelve Year 6 pupils headed up the hill to Lancing College to the
annual Prep Schools’ Science Challenge. We were put into groups with children
from other schools to complete biology, chemistry or physics challenges. These
included building a birds’ nest, using quicklime to cool things and making a
marble run. While the scores were added up we watched a talk on our cosmic
address from a doctor from the University of Portsmouth. Then came the prize
giving. Emma was part of the group that won the Chemistry prize and Cal was
part of the group that won the Physics prize. Well done everyone and I hope
you enjoyed it.
Mrs N Goodman
Exam Dates
Exams and Progress Tests for Years 3 to 4 will take place between 6 June and 12 June. Please ensure you

Cricket
First team 144 for 3 v Sompting Abbotts 101 for 6 Won by 43 runs
Once again the boys produced some super cricket to win comfortably on Wednesday afternoon. LPW
were first in bat and with Ozzy R scoring a rapid 45 runs and Ethan F scoring 40, the First team were
able to score a fantastic 144 runs. The ten bowlers were also good. Jack B was a pick with a wicket for
just 5 runs. An excellent all round performance in the field which allowed the First team to win with
ease by 43 runs—well done! Player of the match: The whole team.
U8/9s 249 for 2 v Sompting Abbotts 227 for 4 Won by 15 runs (A)
The Year 3 and 4 boys were put into bat and despite losing a couple of early wickets, produced some
stunning shots scoring 8 boundaries in total. Alex W and Joseph M in particular played some super
cricket when in bat. A final total of 249 runs was a deserved score for some positive cricket. The boys
then bowled well and with discipline, with Ollie R and Oscar G the pick of the bowlers, and Sompting
Abbotts were restricted to 227, allow Lancing Prep to win by 15 runs. A fantastic afternoon which was
played in the correct spirit, with Lancing Prep producing an excellent display—well done! Player of the
match: The whole team.
Mr Richards
Colts v Sompting Abbotts
We won the game meaning that we are unbeaten so far this year. LPW were set the task of batting first
and did very well despite a slow start. Max W and Marley R opened the batting and put on a good
partnership. Marley R scored 14 before being caught. Cal N came in and continued the LPW run-
scoring with 17 before Max W was run out. Will O’B batted well for the final 2 overs to help LPW to 86-
2 off of 15 overs. The LPW bowling attack were firing on all cylinders. Louis B took a wicket with the
very first ball of the innings, hitting middle stump. Marley R continued his brilliant performance by
getting two wickets in two balls but unfortunately couldn’t get his hat-trick. Will O’B chipped in with a
wicket and Cal N also got one with a vicious in-swinger to hit off-stump. Sompting Abbotts finished on
64-5. Another excellent victory. Well done! Marley R was player of the match for the second consecutive
game.
Mr Payne
Rounders
U9 v Dorset House Won 6½-3½
We started off by fielding in this competitive game. Some accurate bowling and lovely communication
amongst the team ensured we fielded the ball to the correct place. When we went into bat, Autumn
scored 2 cracking rounders and the others contributed well to half rounders. We now need to be more
aware of where our team mates are so that we don’t run them out. A good game played by all. Thank
you to the parents who came to support us. Batter of the game: Yasmin G Fielder of the game: Beth K

U8 v Dorset House U9 team Lost 6–11½
A tough game for the U8s as they haven’t had much experience. They started by batting first and many
of our team scored some half rounders. It was difficult as we struggled to make contact with the ball and
Dorset House fielded really well limiting our chances. We struggled with deciding where to send the
ball but Phoebe did a great job as bowler and we managed to stump a few players out. A great training
game. Well done to all the team a great effort. Thank you to the parents who came to support us. Batter
of the game: Maya P-S Fielder of the game: Frannie C
Rounders U11/12/13 v Dorset House Lost 8-19
This was a tough game, the girls did very well but we were out match. We fielded first, Pippa bowled
brilliantly and we managed to get a few of the Dorset house girls out. When we went into bat we strug-
gled to score rounders as Dorset house we extremely good at fielding. In the second innings we began to
think about all the batters on the pitch not just the one who was in the batting square. This meant we got
a few more of the Dorset House players out. Our second innings of batting was better we made better
contact with the ball and were able to score a few more rounders. A good game, thank you to the par-
ents who came to support us. Batter of the game: Sophie W Fielder of the game: Anna W
Rounders U8 v Windlesham Hove Won 5½-3½
This game we used as a training game and coached the girls through the different tactics. We batted first
scoring a couple of rounders. The girls worked hard to get as far as they could on each bat. When we
went into field Phoebe bowled beautifully and Lotta did well to get a few people out at her base. Our
next innings of batting we were far more confident and more of the girls made contact with the ball and
we managed to score more whole rounders and some half rounders. In the second innings the girls
moved positions and we continued to field well getting more players out. Overall a fantastic game
where the girls learnt lots. Fielder of the game: Phoebe Batter of the Game: Purdey M
Mrs Fudge
Rounders U10/U11 v Dorset House (Lost 18½-29)
Our fielding was good and we managed to stump out 6 of the opposition. Our deep fielders were also
quick to come forward and back up posts when needed. Batting is an area we need to develop, however,
we did accumulate 8½ rounders during the first innings. In the second innings we were more aware of
the strong hitters and where they would be placing the ball. LPW managed to stump out 4 of the oppo-
sition this time round. During our last batting innings we took more risks which paid off slightly. Grace
T produced some great hits during both innings and the rest of the girls made good contact when strik-
ing the ball. The whole team worked hard and there were clear calls. Thank you to those parents who
were able to come and support our girls. Girl of the girl: Emma S
U9 Rounders v Windlesham School
This was a lovely training game where the sun was shining and both teams were playing at the same
ability level. The main focus of the afternoon was working on awareness when running after batting.
LPW made good contact with the ball and were quick to run to first base. They are beginning to under-
stand that they can run on to the next base if the baller hasn’t got the ball and that next base hasn’t been
stumped. When fielding our girls were more aware of making way for the opposition when they were
batting so as not to cause obstruction and giving away half a rounder for this. There was great team-
work and communication and some brave decisions. Well done girls — a great effort. Girl of the game:
Grace W. Thank you to those parents who were able to come and support.

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
All that much before
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

Joseph's Dream
Choir Joseph's coat annoyed his brothers
Brothers But what makes us mad
Are the things that Joseph tells us of the
Dreams he's often had
Joseph I dreamed that in the fields one day (Choir: La, la, la…)
The corn gave me a sign
Your eleven sheaves of corn
All turned and bowed to mine
My sheaf was quite a sight to see
A golden sheaf and tall
Yours were green and second-rate
And really rather small
Brothers Small! This is not the kind of thing
We brothers like to hear
It seems to us that Joseph and his
Dreams should disappear
Joseph I dreamed I saw eleven stars (Choir: La, la, la…)
The sun the moon and sky
Bowing down before my star,
It made me wonder why
Could it be that I was born
For higher things than you?
A post in someone's government
A ministry or two
Brothers The dreams of our dear brother are
The decade's biggest yawn
His talk of stars and golden sheaves
Is just a load of corn
Not only is he tactless but
He's also rather dim
For there's eleven of us and
There's only one of him
The dreams of course will not come true
That is, we think they won't come true
That is, we hope they won't come true
What if he's right all along?
The dreams are more than crystal clear
The writing on the wall
Means that Joseph some day soon
Will rise above us all
The accuracy of the dreams
We brothers do not know
But one thing we are sure about;
The dreamer, (choir: dreamer),
dreamer, (choir: dreamer), All: dreamer, dreamer has to go!
Poor, Poor Joseph
Choir: Next day, far from home,
the brothers planned the repulsive crime
Brothers: Let us grab him now, do him in, while we've got the time
Choir: This they did and made the most of it
Tore his coat and flung him in a pit
Brothers: Let us leave him here, all alone, and he's bound to die
Choir: When some Ishmaelites, a hairy crew, came riding by
In a flash the brothers changed their plan
Brothers: We need cash! Let's sell him if we can
Choir: Poor poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
Things look bad for you, hey, what'cha gonna do?
Poor poor Joseph, what'cha gonna do?
Things look bad for you, hey, what'cha gonna do?
Brothers: Could you use a slave, you hairy bunch of Ishmaelites?
Young, strong, well-behaved,
going cheap and he reads and writes
Choir: In a trice the dirty deed was done
Silver coins for Jacob's favorite son
Then the Ishmaelites galloped off with a slave in tow
Off to Egypt where Joseph was not too keen to go
It wouldn't be a picnic he could tell
Joseph: I don't speak Egyptian very well
Choir: Joseph's brothers tore his precious multi-colored coat
Having ripped it up, they next attacked a passing goat
Soon the wretched creature was no more
They dipped his coat in blood and guts and gore
All Oh now brothers, how low can you stoop?
You make a sordid group, hey, how low can you stoop?
Poor poor Joseph, sold to be a slave
Situation's grave, hey, sold to be a slave
There's One More Angel in Heaven
Whistling intro
Judah: Father, we've something to tell you, a story of our time
A tragic but inspiring tale of manhood in its prime
You know you had a dozen sons
well now that's not quite true
But feel no sorrow, do not grieve, he would not want you to
Brothers/(Choir) : There's one more angel in Heaven (ah….)
There's one more star in the sky (ah….)
Joseph we'll never forget you (ah….)
It's tough but we're gonna get by
There's one less place at our table (ah….)
There's one more tear in my eye (ah….)
But Joseph the things that you stood for (ah….)Levi: Like -- er, truth and light never die
Simeon: When I think of his last great battle
A lump comes to my throat
It takes a man who knows not fear
To wrestle with a goat
Brothers: His blood-stained coat is tribute to his final sacrifice
His body may be past its peak but his soul's in paradise
Brothers/(Choir) : There's one more angel in Heaven (ah….)
There's one more star in the sky (ah….)
Joseph we'll never forget you (ah….)
It's tough but we're gonna get by
Brothers/(Choir) : There's one less place at our table (ah….)
There's one more tear in my eye (ah….)
But Joseph the things that you stood for (ah….)Levi: Like -- er, truth and light never die
Brothers: Carve his name with pride and courage
Gad: Let no tear be shed
If he had not laid down his life we all would now be dead
Close Every Door To Me
Joesph: Close every door to me, hide all the world from me
Bar all the windows and shut out the light
Do what you want with me, hate me and laugh at me
Darken my daytime and torture my night
If my life were important I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For I know I shall find my own peace of mind
For I have been promised a land of my own
Choir Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
La, la, la etc.
Joseph: Just give me a number instead of my name
Forget all about me and let me decay
I do not matter, I'm only one person
Destroy me completely then throw me away
Joesph: If my life were important I would ask will I live or die
But I know the answers lie far from this world
All: Close every door to me, keep those I love from me
Children of Israel are never alone
For we know we shall find our own peace of mind
For we have been promised a land of our own
Go, Go, Go Joseph!
Singing Narrators 1&2: Joseph's luck was really out, his spirits and his fortune low
Alone he sat, alone he thought
of happy times he used to know
Choir Group 1 (Y 4,5 & 8): Hey dreamer! Don't be so upset
Choir Group 2 (Y 3,6 & 7): Hey Joseph! You're not beaten yet
Narrators and Choir: Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it one day
Sha la la Joseph, you're doing fine,
You and your Dreamcoat ahead of your time
Singing Narrators 1&2: The prison walls were wet and black
his chains were heavy weighed him down
A candle was his only light,
the hungry rats the only sound
Choir Group 1 (Y 4,5 & 8): Hey dreamer! Don't be so upset
Choir Group 2 (Y 3,6 & 7): Hey Joseph! You're not beaten yet
Narrators and Choir: Go Go Go Joseph you know what they say
Hang on now Joseph you'll make it one day
Sha la la Joseph, you're doing fine,
You and your Dreamcoat ahead of your time
Singing Narrators 1&2: In the prison cell with Joseph
were two very frightened men
Baker and Butler: We don't think that we will ever see the light of day again
Hey Joseph! Help us if you can
We've had dreams that we don't understand
Singing Narrators 1&2: Both men were servants of Pharaoh the king
Both in the doghouse for doing their thing
One was a baker, a cook in his prime
One was a butler, the Jeeves of his time
Joseph: Tell me of your dreams my friends,
and I will tell you what they show
Though I cannot guarantee to get it right, I'll have a go
Singing Narrators 1&2: First the butler, trembling, took the floor
Nervously he spoke of what he saw
Butler: There I was standing in front of a vine
I picked some grapes and I crushed them for wine
I gave it to Pharaoh who drank from my cup
I tried to interpret but I had to give up
Joseph: You will soon be free, my friend, so do not worry any more
The king will let you out of here,
you'll buttle as you did before
Singing Narrators 1&2: Next the baker rose to tell his dream
Hoping it would have a similar theme
Baker: There I was standing with baskets of bread
High in the sky I saw birds overhead
Who flew to the baskets and ate every slice
Give me the message -- like his would be nice
Joseph: Sad to say your dream is not the kind of dream I'd like to get
Pharaoh has it in for you, your execution date is set
Don't rely on all I say I saw
It's just that I have not been wrong before
Narrators and Choir: Go Go Jo x 4

Hang on now Joseph you'll make it one day
