1466 – 2016 – Celebrating 550 Years of St Bart’s
HARVEST
Harvest is a time when we
celebrate
the
wonderful
resources the earth provides.
Traditionally as a school, since
1908, each harvest time we
have shared and supported the Peckham
Settlement and collected ‘Packages for Peggy at
Peckham’. All the cans and tins students
provided were taken to the Luncheon Club run
by Peggy and Lily. Unfortunately though, at the
age of 103, Peggy passed away two weeks ago.
Last year when St Bart’s visited Peggy she
asked us to support a local charity in the future
as she could no longer continue with the
Peckham Settlement Luncheon Club as she was
becoming too frail.
Therefore, this year, as Peggy wished, we will
continue with our tradition of sharing and
support two local charities that are in need of
food.

Head Boy and Deputy Head Girl.

GERMAN EXCHANGE
Has your child always wanted to
visit Germany?
Would you like your child to have the
opportunity to practise their German in a real
life situation?
Would you like them to have the experience of
living with a German family for one week?
Do you like the idea of your family hosting a
German student for a week and helping them to
improve their English?
Then perhaps you should consider taking part
in the German Exchange this academic year.
Students who currently study German in Years
9 – 13 all have the chance to take part. Letters
will be handed out in class this week and are
also available from the MFL office.
Dates
English students to Germany: Monday
30 January – Monday 6 February 2017
German students to English: Friday 30 June –
Friday 7 July 2017
If you have any further questions about the
exchange or would like an electronic copy of
the letter please email Mrs Johnson on
[email protected]
Letters for the French and Spanish exchanges
will be available soon.
This year we are giving our
harvest contributions to two
local charities. The first is Loose Ends, a drop
in centre for the homeless which is actually the
only place in Newbury where vulnerable people
like that can go. They are a great charity that
aims to provide immediate and long term help
as well as providing an environment of love and
acceptance to those who really need it.
The second is Fairclose Day Centre which
provides meals and social events for the elderly.
To the people who go there, the night of Bingo
or the knit ’n’ natter might be the highlight of
their week.
We encourage every student to bring at least
one tin of food into school. If everyone brought
one, that would make one and a half thousand
meals for needy people to have. Soups, stews,
meat pies, tinned fruit and vegetables would all
be really appreciated. So start bringing in those
tins and don’t forget!
Please deliver tins to your House Office before
14 October.

Rugby
Year 7 B v Forest
The Year 7B team got off to a promising start
to the season losing gracefully 25-10 but
showing potential along the way.
Our
opponents had an advantage having already
played three games whereas this was our first
match as a team. Captain, Charlie Lewis scored
one of our two tries, following a great pass by
Charlie Mabbatt. Daniel Rawlins scored as well
with input from scrum half Mabbatt. Special
mention to Teague Pasea who put in an
outstanding performance in his first ever rugby
match.

Year 7A v Westgate and Forest
The Year 7s have made a very promising start
to their first campaign at St Bart’s. Firstly, they
travelled to Winchester to play Westgate
School, a strong outfit with a large contingent
of club players. In what was both a high scoring
and physical game, St Bart’s overcame the size
and power of the Westgate forwards and won
45-35. Although early days, St Bart’s are
beginning to develop an exciting brand of rugby
with some great team tries particularly in the
second half. Man of the match was Josh
Lefever, who carried superbly and led the
tackling from the front.

They then carried this through into their A team
game versus Forest on the Saturday, winning a
close and entertaining encounter 20-15.
St Bart’s really stepped up their defensive
performance from the Wednesday, putting
pressure on and forcing mistakes from a team
who liked to move the ball around. Forest began
to be more effective in possession in the second
half, but St Bart’s defended excellently to close
the game out. Men of the match were Luke
Boyt, for powering over for two tries, with
special mentions for Elliot Crouch and Caleb
Fox-Jones, who led the defensive line superbly
and forced a lot of turnovers. A great start in
general for the whole Year 7 squad, with Lord
Williams and Claire’s Court to come in the next
couple of weeks.
The workshop runs from 10am to 1pm
at St Bartholomew’s School

Year 8 v Forest
On 1 October the boys played Forest away and
despite the wind and rain both teams battled
hard to try to make it out on top. St Bart’s had
a great start and at half time had a 10-0 lead.
However an injury from the opposition caused
a long delay. Play eventually continued and
Forest managed to level the scores and then
pushed into the lead 15-10. St Bart’s dug deep
and, determined to equalise, made it to a final
score of 15-15. Well done to all the team
especially James MacAllan who was man of the
match. We are pleased to report the injured
Forest player has recovered.

Lost to Forest School on Saturday, and
beat Park House 29-14. Man of the match Sam

Year 10 played a really close game against
Reading Boys’ School in the National Cup, but
were narrowly defeated 37-34.
Year 10 v Park House won 46-17, man of the
match Dan Stevenson.
Year 8 Rugby Team Undefeated at County
Rugby Festival
It was 29 September on a chilly morning at
Pangbourne College where the Year 8 St Bart’s
rugby squad had their first match of the County
Festival against Denefield School, where
St Bart’s comfortably won 45-0 to start on a
superb note for the day ahead. The team then
faced a very strong Claire's Court but played
impressively to come out with an important
20-0 win. Going top of their pool, St Bart’s
went through to face Reading Grammar and
managed to pull out another heroic victory
ending 45-0 with Callum Maggs putting on an
amazing performance on the scoring front and
Joel Douglas leading the tackling. In the "Final"
of the Festival St Bart’s were up against Claire's
Court again putting out one last resounding
victory winning 30-10, leaving Pangbourne on
a high.
The whole squad performed superbly on a day
on which they scored 28 tries in one hour of
rugby. Special mentions must go to Ben
Newman, Finn Williams, Cameron Stewart,
James MacAllan and Charlie Shakespeare and
Joel Douglas.
Try scorers were Callum Maggs (8), Ben
Newman (6), Fin Williams (5), Cameron
Stewart (3), Ali Jardine (3), Joel Douglas (1),
Will Conington (1) and Alexander Groves-Way
(1).
Football
Year 8 played Forest in the National Cup. They
went down 2-0 in the first few minutes, but
came back to level the score 2-2 after half time
when Man of the Match Dan Power scored a
superb individual free kick and then followed it
up with a goal a few minutes later. Forest came
back to win the match 4-2.
Year 11 went 3-0 up against Kennet in the
National Cup, all three goals were scored by
Man of the Match Joe Power. Kennet came
back to level the scores, and eventually won
after penalties.

Senior Lacrosse
Berkshire Tournament – 28 September
The Berkshire Tournament, this year held at
Queen Anne’s, saw the senior first team take on
four schools from across the county. Against
tough QAS and Downe House opposition the
girls battled well and some good defence from
Katherine Wadge and Bobbi Lainsbury meant
the opposition had to work hard to score their
goals. Against Heathfield, St Bart’s always
looked the better side and with determined
drives from Annabel Mangan and Millie Pope
saw St Bart’s as 6-1 victors. The final game
against St George’s saw St Bart’s dominating
but unable to find the back of the net. Luckily
the girls finished the game with a 1-0 win which
was enough to secure third place overall.
Due to finishing third, nine girls have been
selected to
attend
Berkshire Trials.
Congratulations to Jen Alston, Annie Taylor,
Saffron Langley, Bobbi Lainsbury, Annabel
Mangan, Abby Graham, Izzy Sanderson, Laura
Kirk and Millie Pope.
The first half saw both teams equally matched
in terms of skill and at half time the score was
4-3 in St Bart’s favour. Right from the first
draw in the second half St Bart’s took the
initiative with a determined run and excellent
shot placement from Lauren Bell. Lilia Norman
quickly added to this and St Bart’s looked on
the way to a good victory. Heathfield battled
back and it took determined defence led by Cait
Prendergast to keep them out. St Bart’s
continued to work hard until the very end and
were deserving 10-7 winners of the match.
Second team – Cait Prendergast, Harriet
Denton, Lauren Manton, Frankie Twyford,
Freya Eva, Amy Quesada-Getgood, Amber
Layton, Alissa Thiel, Ellie Fell, Beth Daly,
Lauren Smith, Lauren Bell, Tegan Scapens,
Davina Emetulu, Niamh Watson, Lilia Norman,
Emma Greenslade and Lucy James.
Year 8 v Heathfield
What a great third game for the Year 8 team
which concluded in winning their first ever
match.
The girls won 10-4 with the first two goals
quickly being scored in the first two minutes by
Luci Robertson and Zoe Quartley. The defence,
including the stunning defence of the goalie
(Beth C), worked hard to keep the Heathfield
attack down.
Imogen Matthews had her first game as well as
Maddy Ettridge who fought well to win some
balls from the opposition and then offered up
great passes to the centre players such as Bianca
Vicaria and Sophie Cunningham. Bianca got
some great goals from coming round the back
of the goal.
Players of the match (given by Heathfield) were
Beth Carlton and Zoe Quartley.
Miss Preston's player of the match goes to Luci
Robertson who dodged round defence like a pro
and scored an incredible five goals.
Well done girls!

Wednesday 5 October v Heathfield
St Bart’s took to the field full of confidence
after the tournament last week, however it was
Heathfield that came out quicker and took
advantage of a sleeping defence to go a goal up.
St Bart’s battled well but didn’t seem able to
find their rhythm and found themselves 2-0
down. Annabel Mangan brought St Bart’s back
into the game with a determined drive from mid
field whilst Hannie Makant calmly scored her
penalty shot and defence Bobbi Lainsbury
evening up the score. The game continued with
St Bart’s unable to find consistency and going
into the final minute the score was all level at
three goals each. In the dying seconds Annabel
scored her second goal of the game giving
St Bart’s a narrow 4-3 victory.
First team - Annie Taylor, Saffron Langley, Jen
Alston, Amy Bowen, Bobbi Lainsbury, Annabel
Mangan, Susie Drake, Abby Graham, Izzy
