Crown Life December 2019 Crown Life December 2019 Dear Parents/Carers and Guardians Christmas Cabaret Wow! FABULOUS! As we come to the end of term 1, 2019 I reflect on what has been a hugely successful term. The introduction It was standing room only at the Christmas Cabaret in the of a new, and more robust, behaviour main hall with the audience clapping and cheering as the acts policy has had a profound effect on the (involving over 100 students) performed across three stages. orderly nature of our environment.

This raise of expectations has come at a cost with some pupils not Congratulations and ‘thank you’ to Ms French, Ms Doyle and the managing to moderate their behaviour sufficiently to remain at whole music team for an unforgettable evening. SCWA. We have also had a strong focus on pedagogical practice with CPD training on Retrieval Practice, Direct Instruction, the Effective Sequence of Learning, Questioning, Modelling and Assessment all with a view of improving the learning experience of our pupils. This research based, evidence informed practice also concentrates on a pupil’s ability to remember or retain information. A critical skill when one is trying to remember five hours of academic content each day. This term has also been witness to some fantastic events. With the support of the Stationers’ Company, SCWA hosted a business engagement event where a number of industry experts offered pupils an opportunity to talk about their experiences and routes into their professions. We have hosted mentoring events where Sixth Form students got the chance to link with a business mentor who will support them through the later stages of their educational career and, hopefully, into the next stage of their lives. Successes, this term, also include the SCWA swimming team as we competed in the inaugural LAT swimming gala. SCWA were victorious in the girls event overcoming challenges from all other LAT academies. Our boys performed extremely well, however, a depleted year 11 squad meant that we dropped two places to come third overall. We ended the term with the showstopper that was ‘Christmas Cabaret’. The efforts displayed by staff and students to make the evening such a success was amazing. A, truly, inspiring way to end a very successful term. I would like to take this opportunity to thank our parents and stakeholders for their ongoing and continued support for the work undertaken at SCWA. Have a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

  • Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue Is a Signifi Cant Theatre-Specifi C Environmental Project Being Run by the Theatres Trust
    Introduction to Ecovenue Ecovenue is a signifi cant theatre-specifi c environmental project being run by The Theatres Trust. It aims to improve the environmental performance of forty-eight London theatres and raise awareness of how to make theatres greener. Ecovenue is promoting the sustainability of theatres and the reduction of carbon emissions through the provision of free theatre-specifi c, environmental advice. The project started in 2009 and runs until 2012. Forty-eight venues each undergo an Environmental Audit, and receive a Display Energy Certifi cate (DEC) and Advisory Report. They track their energy use through SMEasure. Each venue receives a second DEC a year after their fi rst to measure progress. Ecovenue includes a ‘DEC Pool’ of performing arts venues across the UK that have obtained DECs. The DEC Pool helps us to evaluate the project and share best practice and information, establish meaningful benchmarks, and provide a better understanding of energy use of theatres. Any theatre can join the DEC Pool. The Trust’s Theatres Magazine provides quarterly reports on the participants and the work of the Ecovenue project. The Theatres Trust Ecovenue project receives fi nancial support from the European Regional Development Fund.
