Discovery College Newsletter Spring 2019 DISCOVERY COLLEGE DISCOVERY COLLEGE NEWSLETTER SPRING 2019 Dear Discovery College, Many thanks to Mrs Hayes and Ms Castle for putting this publication together. Usually Mrs Whelan creates the newsletter but as she is currently on maternity leave with her new daughter Dotty, Ms Castle has stepped in and has done admirably. End of Year Exams The end of the spring term is a period of transition for many students at Homewood with Year 11 and Sixth Form students already starting their terminal exams. The forthcoming summer term in Discovery College also has some key events taking place. Year 7 and 8, will have their end of key stage assessments between the 18th and 27th June. These will be for core subjects only (English, Maths and Science) and will be completed in the Sports Hall for Year 8 but within normal lesson time for Year 7. Year 8 will also try out their GCSE Options during Year 6 induction week from Monday 1st to Friday 5th July, unless they are lucky enough to be on the China trip. Year 7 Festival of Learning Secondly, Year 7 have already started to prepare for their festival of learning, which is an opportunity for parents/carers to come into Homewood to celebrate and reflect on their child’s work in their first year in the form of a student led conference. There will be a letter about this next term, but the events are planned for both the 10th and 17th July, 3pm to 4pm. Open Morning We will also be asking for students to come in and help with Open Morning on Saturday 22nd June, to show Year 5 parents around the school and talk about their experience of Homewood. Students will receive a letter about this before the end of term. Best wishes, Mr Lawson DISCOVERY COLLEGE Cancer Research UK Our latest fund raising event was a cake sale organised by 7D9; 7D8 and 8D8 organised an Easter tombola and over 100 Discovery students took part in the Spring Sprint. DISCOVERY COLLEGE Our total is now approaching £1500 DISCOVERY COLLEGE Science project On the 2nd of May students from 7N created their own miniature desert gardens using rocks, sand, gravel and compost. They had a range of cacti and succulent plants to choose from. They had to create a garden made with plants that are adapted for harsh dry conditions. The finishing touch was to use plasticine to model a suitable animal that was adapted to live in that habitat. The students made camels, snakes and scorpions. DISCOVERY COLLEGE Exhibition of work in Discovery art lessons We are currently working alongside primary schools from the Tenterden Schools Trust to produce art work celebrating Tenterden. Our school is specifically concentrating on the 70th birthday of Homewood and looking at Tenterden High Street as it was 70 years ago or how we imagine it to be like in 70 years time. The students are producing work in the style of Ben Heine and Ana Strumpf to tie in with the Photography project we have been doing in school. In next term’s newsletter we shall let you know how successful this has been. DISCOVERY COLLEGE Homewood Riding Club Ms Stephen and the riding team have been involved in a few events since our last update: Duckhurst Show Jumping It was wonderful to have a new rider compete and do really well - Harry in Yr7 i-College took part in the first of the two days of competitions gaining two 5th placings and 3 clear rounds in total. A great start to his involvement in NSEA competitions. On the second day of competition we also had some great results with our riders coming away with lots of rosettes for 2x1sts, 1x2nd, 2x3rds, 2x4ths . As always it was a real pleasure to be their team manager - such great riding and team working from all. NSEA One Day Event Twelseldown Sean had an excellent time at the first NSEA ODE (Dressage, Show Jumping and Cross Country) of the season. He was placed second on one of his horses having scored fantastically in his dressage and going clear in both show jumping and cross country. He finished on the same marks as the winner but was just a bit too fast at cross country to win as you have to complete within a set time. He is now off to the NSEA ODE Champs in September (the third championships he has qualified for since February!). He also went double clear on his other horse which was an amazing achievement given the horse had a broken leg at the end of last season! We are off to Hickstead over the Bank Holiday for NSEA Arena Eventing national champs. DISCOVERY COLLEGE Hygiene Bank Congratulations to Camilia, Sienna, Belle and Laura who organised a cake and sweet sale to raise money to buy products for the Hygiene Bank. This was to support the fundraising effort of the local girl guides which Camilia’s sister is involved in. Once again Discovery students show how caring and thoughtful they are towards less fortunate individuals. The sale raised £84.24 thanks to the generosity of the students who bought the goodies. DISCOVERY COLLEGE Principal Distinction Certificates Mrs Sally Lees, Principal of Homewood School and Sixth Form Centre and Mr Adam Lawson, Head of Discovery met our Year 8 students whose work was exhibited and judged by our external judges Jane Mills and Susan Hatt from the Tenterden Historical Society and Tenterden Museum. All fifty of them received Principal Distinction certificates for showing sensitivity and maturity when they designed their Holocaust Memorial garden. Their work will be on show in the Tenterden museum shortly. DISCOVERY COLLEGE Term 5 overview A new feature of the newsletter is a quick overview of what has been going on within each subject and what students will be learning next term as well as information about further support and exhibitions of work.

The girls came 3rd overall in the tournament winning three of their four games. They beat Maidstone Grammar, Colfes Independent School and Strood Academy. They lost narrowly against Townley Grammar.

DISCOVERY COLLEGE Year 8 Holocaust project Our Year 8 students learnt about the Holocaust in this term’s ERS project. At the end of the topic they worked in small groups to complete their own plans of a memorial garden showing their knowledge and understanding of a deeply sensitive topic. Each teacher chose a plan from their class that was worthy of being included in an exhibition to be judged by Jane Mills from the Tenterden Historical Society and Susan Hatt from the Tenterden Museum.

  • Please Note : All Recorded Crime Figures Within This Document Have Been Extracted from Our Crime Recording System on 30Th March 2006 and May Be Subject to Change
    Please Note : All recorded crime figures within this document have been extracted from our crime recording system on 30th March 2006 and may be subject to change. The following report relates to recorded crimes for the period of 1st January 2005 to 28th February 2006. The crime recording system used by Kent Police does not have a specific field which enables identification of school premises. The means by which Kent Police has extracted the following data is through the use of specific wording recorded within the 'Modus Operandi (MO) Scene' field. Therefore, this data is based on :- 1) Those crimes that have been reported to Kent Police 2) Those that are defined as crimes and have subsequently been recorded by Kent Police 3) And, where the appropriate wording has been recorded in the 'MO Scene' field. Whilst the 'MO Scene' field records the crime as occurring on school premises, it does not necessarily reflect crimes committed within school hours or involving pupils/teachers. The data will include, for example, crimes to school property that occur overnight i.e. Criminal Damage, Arson and Burglary. It will also include crimes that occur in the vicinity of schools, but not necessarily against school property or within the school i.e. Theft of and from Vehicles and Theft of Pedal Cycles. It is also likely that a proportion of recorded Drug Offences will involve persons not associated with the school, but were committed on school grounds i.e. fields/outbuildings/sheds/garages. Although the crime may have occurred within the vicinity of a school, it may not have been reported by persons associated with the school and therefore, the school may be totally unaware of the crime.

  • 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals
    Please return your appeal form by 29 March 2019 2019 Transfer to Secondary School School Admission Appeals A Guide for Parents This guide is to help families who have not got a place at the secondary school they wanted. If you are disappointed and worried about where your child will go to school in September, this guide will answer some of your questions and explain what you can do next. In the first instance you should visit the school you have been offered to get a feel for it and meet with the headteacher. Once you have done this, if you are still not satisfied you may want to consider lodging an appeal for your preferred school(s). www.kent.gov.uk/schooladmissions Why didn’t my child get a place at the school I wanted? The County Council will have tried to offer a place at the school you wanted. If that hasn’t happened it’s probably because the school had more applications than places available and other children had a higher priority for the place than your child. It may also be because your child did not meet the entry requirements for the school and so could not be offered a place. What does this mean? When a school doesn’t have enough places for everyone who wants to go there, it has to have a way of deciding which children should get in. Often a school takes the children who live closest first, so if you live further away, it may have filled all its places with children who live nearer.

  • URN Institution Name 143129 Phoenix Academy 142905 South
    University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag All schools on this list meet the requirements for the University of Kent's Institution Contextual Flag. The Institution Contextual Flag is given to all institutions whose data indicates that they perform in the bottom 40% nationally for KS5 results reported by the Department for Education each year. We use the average point school per entry and where data is not available, we use KS4 result, if available. In order to make this more reliable we look at data over a three year period to see if they are low performing for at least two out of the last three years. In cases where an Institution is flagged, but subsequently closes, the flag will be retained and the institution will continue to appear on the list. We use the Institution supplied by you in your UCAS application (the UCAS centre or Last Institution) to identify whether it has a Contextual Flag. Please note: independent schools are not included, neither do we have data from government agencies in Scotland and Northern Ireland and therefore these cannot be given a flag. Similarly, there may be schools or colleges which have recently changed name, status or have merged and this has resulted in no data being reported by the Department of Education , in these instances we will not be able to assess the Institution for a Contextual Flag.
