  • Glebelands Newsletter
    Glebelands Newsletter February 2019 MESSAGE FROM THE HEAD OF SCHOOL As we come to the half-way point in the academic year, for me it is a time to reflect. I am really encouraged by the work going on in lessons and I feel students are, on the whole, working harder than they ever have at Glebelands. The presentation in books shows pride, and with the current Year 11 predicted to achieve record results, the overall progress of students is on a continuing upward trend as the current Year 10 is predicted to be even higher. Key stage 3 students are a credit to the school and many are availing of the extra opportunities which the school offers. We are delighted with how many students are benefiting from the extra-curricular activities which are available to them. It is encouraging to see the number of parents who attend our Subject Evenings for Year 7 an 11 (over 90% for each year group). Clearly these are some of the best opportunities for parents to understand how they can support their child’s learning, and I would ask all parents to make these a priority as we need your support if your children/our students are to make the progress of which they are capable. Together we can achieve more. Student attendance is fundamentally important to the school. Although our attendance figures are above National figures, as a school we want every measurable aspect to be far better than National standards since we believe our students are far more capable than National average.

    GOVERNORS’ PROSPECTUS WELCOME TO AMESBURY Our principal purpose is quite straightforward. It is simply that we want every child to enjoy his or her time at school; to feel valued as individuals, in an environment where their talents can prosper to the benefit of the community, so that when the time comes to leave us, each child will do so with confidence high, skills sharpened and personalities rounded. More specifically we aim to: Develop in every child the necessary skills, aptitudes and abilities to enable them to become emotionally resilient independent learners. Develop a caring community within the school by encouraging commitment, courtesy, co-operation, tolerance and compassion towards one another whilst understanding that each individual is a member of a wider community. Promote and nurture a close relationship between home and school in the partnership of education. Provide all stakeholders with a model of organisational excellence. Create the circumstances in which all members of staff have the opportunity for personal development and feel able to make the fullest of contributions to school life. Fulfil our social and environmental responsibilities to society. 2 INTRODUCTION My own association with Amesbury began 15 years ago as a parent of three Amesbury pupils. In 2009 I joined the Board of Governors and was appointed Chairman of Governors in 2013. It is a wonderful place to be associated with and an important part of my life, although sadly I am no longer able to attend match teas as a parent. The purpose of this Governor Prospectus is to and, we believe to be a principal point of provide anyone interested in Amesbury with difference between ourselves and other local an overview of the governing principles by independent schools.
