Remember to send us your subscription forms ASAP and we’ll send you your welcome pack. Huge thanks to those of you who have already sent these back to us.
But don’t worry! It’s not too late to sign-up, you’ve still got time. We’ve extended the subscriptions acceptance window until Monday 8th October.
Keep watching this space for lots more information – including the launch of the 2013 Long List. Ooh yeah!
Hello! We’re back and ready to rock! Here at ABA HQ we hope you all had wonderful, sun-filled and relaxing summers. *
We are currently accepting and compiling the new long list for the ABAs 2013. Did you or your students read something last year you think should be included? (Publication date: 1st June 2011 to 31st May 2012) Well, all you need to do is send your recommendations via email to APhelan@worthinghigh.net as soon as you can, (and before the end of September) and we’ll add them to our long list. Then we’ll send you the list and it’ll be up to you and your students to pick your top five. (We’ll send you more information on how to choose them nearer the time.)
If you are new to the ABAs or you would like to join us this year, please contact our membership advisor: Rachel.Johnson@shoreham-academy.org for more information.
Looking forward to working with you all again,
The ABA Team

The very first Amazing Book Awards night was, well, AMAZING!!
Huge thanks to all the students up and down the south coast who took part and voted for their favourite book – we really couldn’t have done it without you. Thanks also to our audience for coming out on the night and supporting us, it was so wonderful to see you all there. We hoped you had as much fun as we did!
And so finally, it gives us GREAT pleasure to announce the winners of the 2012 Sussex Coast Schools Amazing Book Awards:
It really was a nail biting finish. The votes were so close, and I think we can all agree that all 5 books were simply amazing.
Keep checking the site. We’ll be uploading lots of photos over the next few days, and get
ready for September when we’ll be back and ready and raring for the 2013 ABAs!!!
Much love,
The ABA Team
