I would like to say a big thank you on behalf of the staff and children at St Anne's Special School to The Argus and all our supporters for making us School of the Year at The Argus Achievement Awards.

All who attended the ceremony at the Corn Exchange, Brighton, had a wonderful evening.

Especially moving were the children of courage, who all received a standing ovation.

For St Anne's, it was a much-needed morale boost to receive the recognition it so deserves.

It is a pity East Sussex County Council does not appreciate the valuable asset it should be preserving, rather than regarding the site as the "valuable asset".

Thank you, once again, to The Argus and all our friends out there - our fight for St.Anne's goes on.

-Julie Champion, Seaford
