Newsletter Summer 2013V8.Pub Newsletter Summer Term 2013 School for the 21st century at the heart of the community Airport Sponsor Key Event Year 7 pupils in Llantwit Major School were awarded their certificates in a special Passport presentation ceremony recently. The pupils have worked on a transition programme between Easter of Year 6 and Easter of Year 7, and have been awarded stamps for completing tasks in lessons in all subjects, and for other aspects such as attendance, taking part of the wider life of the school, etc. The pupils received white, bronze, silver or gold certificates, depending on their achievements, and special awards were made to pupils from each form class for endeavour, improvement or achievement. Primary school Headteachers and staff attended the ceremony to see their ex pupils awarded, and Tatum Muir from Cardiff airport attended to present awards. The airport has been sponsors of this event for several years now and has supported the pupils by coming to school to promote the event, and running events for groups of pupils at the airport. The ceremony was opened by a ‘celebration of talent’ and involved Jack Wilkinson on piano and Lauren Mcloughlin on flute. Guest speaker was Cat Peters, researcher for BBC sport. She spoke about the importance of not letting things get in the way of your ambitions, and about the importance of working hard in school to give yourself better opportunities in the world of work.

Holiday Requests during Term Time—A reminder that if a pupil is taken out of school for a holiday during term time, this absence will not be approved by the school and will appear on the pupil record as unauthorised. Wellbeing - what is it all about? As a school one of our aims is to keep all pupils safe and happy during their school years. With this in mind there are many activities that take place during school time in order for pupils to be the best that they can be. The school wellbeing committee comprising of pupils from across the school and staff from various departments meet once every half term to discuss issues that affect pupils such as bullying, school rules and community involvement. In the last meeting the committee agreed on a school definition of wellbeing. To us it means:- . having self-respect and confidence . feeling successful and able to play an important role in your wellbeing . having friends who support you, who you share mutual trust with . being physically active, having hobbies and being a good citizen in the community . always trying your hardest in everything you do Pupils in year 7 & 9 completed an online assessment to measure their wellbeing called the NBAR test. The test asked them about their friends and how they feel about themselves and others. There will be retesting in the summer term in order to see if any improvements have been made from interventions that took place. We were lucky as a school to have Mrs Gibbon from the Vale of Glamorgan join us and work with groups of pupils or individuals in order to improve wellbeing. There are also big plans to launch a new anti-bullying programme in school. WATCH THIS SPACE!!!! Don’t forget you can follow the school on twitter @LlantwitMajorSch Wellbeing - what is it all about? The Vale of Glamorgan Project of Wellbeing The project is based on the National Behaviour and Attendance review (NBAR), which concluded that the ‘early identifi cation of behavioural and emotional difficulties’ was an area of need. Online assessments were devised by Dr Robin Banerjee, principal psychologist at Sussex University, that measure the social and emotional intelligence of pupils. Throughout the course of the school year, all pupils will complete the online assessments entitled ‘My feelings’, ‘My Cl ass’, and ‘My School’. The results will provide us with vital information about how each pupil views themselves as a learner, how well they feel they can resolve problems and barriers to learning and how confident they are socially within the school community. From this information as a school we can then work to provide all pupils with the best conditions in school to maximise their potential as learners. We are moving into the third year of the project and feel that so far it has been a massive success. We are aiming to develop our work and reach further into the community. We aim to include Parents, Staff and governors in the continued development of whole school wellbeing. Llantwit Major Sixth Form As we say goodbye to Year 13 students, we want to particularly thank the prefect team: Head Girl Laura Smith, Head Boy Matthew Jones, Deputy Head Girl Zoe Roberts, Deputy Head Boy James Williams, and prefects Holly Allen, Celyn Bennett, Rebecca Bown, Megan Davies, Dani Fowler, Carly Leonard, Glenn O’Leary, Tom Parker, Alice Peters, Dylan Richards, and Josh Sanderson. They’ve done a wonderful job both in organising social events and playing a wider part in the work of the school and the wider community. We wish all year 13 leavers the very best of luck with their results in the summer and their university/college/new jobs in September. Year 12 students will now take over as the new prefect team with Head Girl Bethan Davies, Head Boy Charlie Parsons, Deputy Head Girl Emily Steen, Deputy Head Boy Josiah Newcomb, and prefects Chloe Davies, Adam Hanley, Chloe Hopkins, Olivia Holt, Dan Irving, Callum Jones, Sophie Jonas, Callum Nixon, and Aimee Price. We are sure they will do a superb job! Year 12 Transition – the change from GCSE to sixth form study is never an easy one, from choosing the right subjects in year 11 right the way through to settling in during the first term of year 12. We know how important it is to give students the best advice and support them through these changes and to help us do that we undertook a survey of how the students in year 12 felt about the advice they were given. We were pleased to see that the vast majority of students did feel that the advice had been useful and we will use the feedback from the survey to help us support them further in future years. Year 7 – A Super Success in 2013 There was trepidation among the new starts back in September and having spoken to various members of the cohort, they are now wondering what all the fuss was about. Who can believe that those nine months have passed almost in the blink of an eye? As with any transition, there have been ups and there have been downs, but we’ve made it through. Looking back throughout the year there have been many outstanding achievements, not only academic, but also on the sports fields, in the drama studios and in the world of music. Although there have been many notable achievements from across the curriculum, there are for me a few which particularly stand out from my first year as Leader of School.

    VALE OF GLAMORGAN AMBASSADOR LLYSGENNAD BRO MORGANNWG Vale of Glamorgan Arts & Crafts ‘The Vale of Glamorgan & Glamorganshire’ Not surprisingly, historical records about the Vale of Glamorgan, often refer to just ‘Glamorgan’ or Glamorganshire’ and each will be mentioned in this account. Glamorgan or, sometimes, was one of the thirteen historicGlamorganshire counties of Wales. It was originally an early medieval petty kingdom of varying boundaries known as Glywysing until taken over by the Normans as a lordship. In later years, Glamorganshire was represented by the three counties of Mid Glamorgan, South Glamorgan and West Glamorgan. The name now survives in Vale of Glamorgan, the most southerly county in Wales, neighbouring those of Cardiff, Bridgend and Rhondda Cynon Taff. ARTS & CRAFTS a tradition of making in the Vale It is in no doubt that the Vale of Glamorgan has inspired poets and writers, painters and authors, from Turner to modern day photographers, yet it is music that remains the strong undercurrent here today, and more recently storytelling. The Vale is home to two internationally renowned festivals, one the Vale of Glamorgan Music Festival, the other Beyond the Border International Storytelling Festival. Pottery has also been a prevalent making tradition in the Vale of Glamorgan. The heritage and reputation of the Ewenny Potteries on the boarder of the Vale is known not just across Britain but worldwide amongst ceramics enthusiasts and the tradition continues today.
