Prestfelde Speech Day 2020 Speech Day – A Celebration of Success SATURDAY 4th JULY 2020 1 “Find your Passion1 in Life” Welcome It is the warmth of our community that is the fundamental reason why we are getting through this unprecedented global pandemic. No one predicted that our 90th anniversary year would take the path it has, with over a term of the school site closed and Prestfelde School developed as an outstanding distance learning school for our community. We begin our day virtually together in the Blackburn Chapel & Theatre, a place so integral to the community spirit of Prestfelde School, it is where we can celebrate and enjoy special memories from the year, followed by the opportunity for us to enjoy less formal, but equally important moments of festivity virtually with our friends and families – we do hope you will all enjoy the Prize Giving and celebration of our 2020 Year 8’s. Of course no such day can take place without the dedication and hard work of an incredible team and I am enormously grateful to everyone involved in the planning and preparation. We have enjoyed a very successful year in progress and achievement across the school. From our outstanding Early Learning goals to our 100% pass at Common Entrance and Scholarship achievements. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been so incredibly supportive throughout. This team has given so readily of their time, truly demonstrating selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability and leadership. To our parents I would like to thank you for trusting us and working with us, your support has been invaluable in the success of our distance learning. We have all learnt a great deal about ‘learning’ styles, barriers to learning and children’s independence. To the pupils, you are quite simply – brilliant, thank you for inspiring us all. You have been dedicated, supportive, resilient, challenged and hard-working. I am extremely honoured to lead such a truly fine community through a year when we have all had to adapt and build resilience. As we celebrate together today, let us enjoy the fellowship of our friends, colleagues and families.

An outstanding performance saw our boys win the match in convincing fashion to be crowned national English Schools Cricket Champions. Nearly a full year on, the school has received numerous accolades, not only for this achievement, but the overall provision of Physical Education. Recently the school was placed 59th in the top 100 Independent Schools for Sport by ‘School Sport Magazine’. Although much of this year has been affected by the partial school closure, many fixtures and tournaments lost, Physical Education remains as important as ever for our pupils. It has been inspiring to see such enthusiasm and commitment during this difficult time, with endless photographs and videos evidencing sporting activities being undertaken at home. 10 11 Sports Highlights 2019/20 General Cross Country continued U 13 Boys Cricket team recognised as the Best Zoe Gilbody - Winner of the following: Shropshire Secondary School Sports team for 2019, The National XC Championships held in winning the John Beswick Award Nottingham.

Everyone started arriving in a variety of transport, Limos, History Makers 9 tractors, land rovers, vintage cars such as Bentleys and Jaguars, there were Ferraris and also a vintage bus - it was amazing how everyone looked so smart dressed up in their suits and dresses. Year 7 Camp 10 After several months of planning it was nice to see that all our hard work had paid off and that the end product was successful. The weeks running up to prom were extremely stressful as many things Library 11 still needed to be organised, but on the night we seemed to pull it off. Both of us said a few words, and got a few laughs, and then decided to party on through the night. Sponsored Walk 12 The Mytton and Mermaid supplied us with brilliant food and non alcoholic beverages. For the main Election 13 course we had either salmon, chicken or tarte tatin, with dauphinoise potatoes and summer vegetables. For dessert we had chocolate brownie or crème brulee.

    INSPIRE ACHIEVE SUCCEED Page 4 Page 8 Page 14 Page 28 April 2019 Volume 10 Issue 4 Mr P Adams Hello again, Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my Deputy, Dr Jane Tinker, who has been appointed as headteacher of the school from September 2019. I‟m sure she will be a great success and I know she is looking forward to the new challenges in September with the aim of delivering the very best education and experience of school for the students that we have in our care. I do hope you saw my e-mail regarding the Shropshire Council Local Bus Service Consultation, proposing a reduction from a 1 to 2 hourly service as well as the removal of the peak journey service to Oswestry in the morning. This has already caused great consternation in many more rural parts of the county. The 576 service that runs from Shrewsbury to Oswestry via Bomere Heath, Walford, Baschurch and Ruyton XI Towns is going to be particularly hit. Under the proposal the early morning bus that goes from Shrewsbury to Oswestry will be cut. This will make it very difficult for students to travel to Oswestry for post 16 study or to undertake apprenticeships. The bus service between Baschurch and Shrewsbury will become once every two hours and not once an hour as it is now. This will affect young people who travel to Shrewsbury for college and work. The cuts will also have an effect on the elderly who rely on the bus. I find it hard to understand when Shropshire Council is keen to see increased housing development in Baschurch and other local villages that they are then seeking to reduce the bus service.

  • Shropshire Champions
    Ellesmerenews Shropshire Champions Page 13 Exam Success History Essay Prize Hockey Call Up Page 3 Page 10 Page 15 Ellesmere College Newsletter Autumn Term 2014 Another Great Year of Exam Results Another Great Year of Exam Results GSCE Results Celebrations he first results of the summer were those of the International TBaccalaureate Diploma, where our students’ average overall score equated to three A grades at A Level. As a challenging alternative to A Levels the IB requires students to study six subjects, a course in the Theory of Knowledge, and produce a university standard Extended Essay as part of their assessment. Universities around the world value the course as an excellent preparation, so much so that the pass level of 24 points is given the equivalent value of BCC grades at A Level. In fact 57% of Ellesmere students achieved the higher level Diploma by gaining more than 30 points, which is equivalent to 3 A* grades at A Level. In August our A Level students were also celebrating with a 97% pass rate including quite a number of outstanding performances. Despite a consensus amongst schools nationwide that marking standards had been set much higher, 50% of all grades awarded to Ellesmere students were in the top A*/B grades, with the girls notching up 60% of grades in the top A*/B Whilst heartfelt congratulations go to all students there were several particularly notable performances that are worthy of specific mention. The supply of medics each year remains constant with Emily Palmer (Shrewsbury), Head Girl, achieving A* and A grades to read Medicine at Birmingham and finding time to do the Extended Project and securing an A* in that too.
