It has made a significant difference to engaging students in Vouchers reading.

School Term Dates 12 2009/2010 P. Lidstone Head INSET DAYS for 12 2009/2010 “Committed to learning” Useful contacts 12 English Faculty News Year 11 – GCSE examinations The final exams are very close now and revision is well underway. Please encourage your sons/daughters to revise carefully. Useful revision activities include going over notes from lessons, practising planning essays and identifying key quotations from texts. It is also recommended that students re-read their exam texts several times. Furthermore, the BBC Bitesize website contains some useful revision tips and activities. Students should make sure they are proactive in speaking to their English teacher if there is anything they are unsure about. It is essential that students who study English Literature bring their copy of the novel Of Mice and Men to the English Literature exam. Media students should check with their teacher to make sure they are aware of the equipment they need to bring to the exam.

Mrs South 3 Ten Tors News We have one more training walk on the Cotswold Way before this year’s Ten Tors event on Dartmoor taking place on the 8th and 9th May 2010. The teams have now been decided for the 35 and 45 mile routes. The weekend training on Dartmoor included some different and quite challenging terrain and weather condi- tions for the teams to overcome. The 35 mile team did especially well and were able to see Okehampton Camp, where they will be starting and finishing the actual event, for the first time. Last week half of the 35 mile team enjoyed some orienteering around Westonbirt Arboretum. Unfortunately, the café was closed when they returned so they are still waiting for their promised drinks of hot chocolate. On Sunday, the teams were back in Wales and got good use from their waterproofs on the Offa’s Dyke path. Lunch at Gospel Pass Still smiling at the finish Chipping Sodbury Lions have once again been very generous in sponsoring our teams and we will be collecting for them at the Chipping Sodbury carnival. If you would like to follow our teams during the event, then regular updates will appear on the Ten Tors website at http://www.ex.ac.uk/tentors. Ms Jarvis Ten Tors Team Manager ICT and Business Faculty News We run a drop-in session on a Wednesday after school in C1, which is available to all students. This can be used to ask questions about any ICT and Business work, catch-up on coursework or to use the computers for homework. The following students have been awarded ICT and Business “Geek” of the week for the week beginning 19th March 2010 Year 7 – Jodie Hood Year 8 – Will Mason Year 9 – Gemma Rallison Year 10 – Zoe Paraskeva Year 11 – Ayesha Davies Sixth Form – Sabina Wiltshire Well done everyone!

Ms Jarvis Head of ICT and Business Please remember to update the School Office of any changes to contact numbers especially mobile phones. 4 Expressive Arts Faculty News Samba Workshop – Wed 24th February The Hall rang to the sound of Samba on Year 7 International Day. Our students thoroughly enjoyed exploring Brazilian music under the tutelage of Andy Warn from The Crotchet Factory. South Gloucestershire Youth Orchestra – Music for Youth Well done to Bradley Parker, Year 12, who performed with the South Gloucestershire Youth Orchestra at Mu- sic for Youth in Cheltenham on Saturday March 6th. The group played a varied programme and received good feedback from the judges!

Bradley Parker, Matthew Hunter, Rebecca Woodington, Charlotte White, Christopher Marx, Peter Rogers and Jack Bateman have all participated in a range of Playing Days and showed their skills off in a Colston Hall Concert on Friday 19th March. Yate and Sodbury Schools Concert – Friday 26th March at the Colston Hall Our bi-annual locality concert involving students from right across the age and ability range took place on 26th March.

Winterbourne won the toss and chose to put Sodbury into bat. Winterbourne had a couple of very fast and ac- curate bowlers, who quickly made their mark on the game. After just two overs Sodbury found themselves on 7 for 2 wickets. Jack Thacker and Will Mason helped to halt Winterbourne’s bowlers and produced some excel- lent shots. The best partnership of the day (21) came from captain, George Walker and Ross Cox.

    Update for Olympus Parents and Carers – 27Th May 2021

    Update for Olympus Parents and Carers – 27th May 2021 Dear Parents and Carers, As we reach the end of our first full term back in school after Lockdown 3, we would like to take this opportunity to thank you and your families for your support with the routines that have had to be implemented and updated as restrictions and guidelines have been changed. We have been really impressed with the way the learners in our schools have adapted to the constant changes during the past year, even though we know that some have struggled with anxiety and illness. The Department for Education’s free mental health resources for all ages are available here. If you feel that your child needs support, please contact their school. Overall infection rates have remained low this term in our schools as well as in the local community, although there was a flurry of positive cases in one school which was a reminder that we are not home and dry yet! Following a meeting with staff from the school and Public Health England, we have been asked to reiterate the following contact definitions: a close contact can be anyone who: lives in the same household as someone with COVID-19 symptoms or who has tested positive for COVID-19 has had any of the following types of contact with someone who has tested positive for COVID-19 with either a PCR test or LFD test (if a confirmatory PCR test is negative, provided it was taken within two days of the positive LFD, it overrides the lateral flow test and close contacts can stop self-isolating): face-to-face contact including being coughed on or having a face-to-face conversation within 1 metre been within 1 metre for 1 minute or longer without face-to-face contact been within 2 metres of someone for more than 15 minutes (either as a one-off contact or added up together over 1 day) travelled in the same vehicle or a plane.

Everyone should be working hard on their revision. There is a rich programme of support lessons at the end of the school day, a copy of which has recently been sent home. We do expect students to attend; it is easy to have an extra day of teaching and learning by the end of the week by participating in one extra hour a day at 3.15pm. This will make a significant difference to exam success. To assist with the pressures of exams, we are working with a local yoga teacher to run relaxation sessions during PE lesson time for Year 11 students. In addition, the school library is open every day after school to support every student with their study. It was great to see so many Year 11 students with their parents/carers at our 2 recent Post 16 events. There are a wide range of courses on offer across the Cotswold Edge 6th Form, achievement is some of the best in the area and transport is free. The deadline for applications is 3rd December. On 11th November, I had the pleasure of joining the Remembrance Parade on the High Street with student representatives.

    Have Your Say on South Gloucestershire Council Bus Services

    Have your say on South Gloucestershire Council bus services We want to know what is most important to you so we can make sure that funding is spent on the services you value the most We currently support a wide range of bus services. This includes services which are entirely funded by the council and others which are commercial services that receive top-up funding for part of the service, for instance evenings or bank holidays.. We currently support 32 bus services (correct as of June 2017), in areas where there would otherwise be no service or a more limited route/timetable. How will your feedback change what we do? It will enable us to better understand what your priorities are for public transport and help us to review our supported bus services in terms of meeting these priorities. The information will also form part of a wider Bus Strategy which will be developed as part of the West of England Combined Authority later in the year. Q1 How often do you use bus services in South Gloucestershire at the following times of day or week? A few times a 4 or more days a Never A few times a year month 1 - 3 days a week week Daytime (before 6pm) Evening/Night (after 6pm) Monday - Friday Weekends Q2 If you don't use buses, why is this?
