The aim of the fortnight is to encourage everyone to buy Fairtrade bananas. Did you know, if you buy your bananas from Sainsbury's or Waitrose you are already 24th February – 9th March supporting Fairtrade as they only sell Fairtrade bananas? In assembly girls were shown Fair Trade Fortnight! a short film about Foncho, a banana grower from Columbia who is the 'face' of Fairtrade Fortnight 2014. The film explains how Fairtrade makes a difference to his life and others like him. We have supported Fairtrade Fortnight in a number of ways in school. SMSC Question of the Week KS3 (Y7-9) & KS4 (Y10-11) Question: Is giving to good causes a waste of time?

Miss Elliott Head of RE 1 Weekly Newsletter Friday 7th March February Music – Jubilee Concert On Friday 28th February we welcomed former pupil Sophie Robertshaw and her friends from the Cataleya Quintet. The Quintet performed for all pupils in KS3 during assembly and started the two day event off with a real bang! One pupil commented „They were that good I thought it was a CD!‟ Sophie introduced each instrument to the pupils, talked about her achievements so far and how all the players met whilst studying at the Royal College of Music in London. Following this, current and potential GCSE Music students were invited to a Master class on Mozart over lunch. At GCSE, pupils have to study twelve set works and the First Movement of Mozart‟s 40th Symphony is one such work. Pupils were able to hear an arrangement of this work for Woodwind Quintet, the melodies used in the piece and how they were developed. The pupils that attended were full of praise for the group. Here are some comments from pupils: „I learnt a lot. Live performance makes you notice more about the piece.‟ „I enjoyed the workshop on Friday as it gave me an insight into the structure of the Mozart piece and the use of instruments.‟ In the afternoon we welcomed over 160 pupils from six primary schools: Cop Lane, Fulwood and Cadley, Middleforth, Longton, Lostock Hall and Woodplumpton St. Annes. The pupils had a fantastic time and some even had the chance to conduct the Quintet. Pupils from Lostock Hall are now going to use this as part of their Arts Award portfolios. Following the success of Friday, the Quintet then returned on Saturday afternoon to lead a workshop with woodwind players from across Lancashire. The group formed a number of ensembles and then rehearsed pieces to be performed at the Jubilee Concert that evening. The concert was a tremendous success and included performances from the young musicians themselves, the Cataleya Quintet and the Lancashire Schools‟ Jazz Orchestra directed by Paul Rigby. Everyone that attended thoroughly enjoyed the evening and the young people involved benefitted greatly from hearing both the Jazz Orchestra and the Cataleya Quintet. Here are just some of the comments from the pupils: „I loved the Jazz Orchestra it sounded amazing and I also loved the song „Forget You‟ at the end when all the instruments joined in!‟ „I was pretty nervous about the performance but in the end I really enjoyed myself!‟ „The workshop was really interesting and it was nice to learn with someone so experienced. I think the day made me much more confident with other musicians and I was proud to be a part of the concert in the evening. I would really like to do it again. Seeing the Jazz Orchestra was also a really good part of Saturday because it showed me I have the opportunity to do more musically.‟ Overall, the Jubilee event was a great success, thank you to everyone who supported us on this occasion.

    Shining Lights Newsletter April 2017 Celebrating success Although it’s only been 8 weeks since our last Shining Lights newsletter there is SO much to celebrate this term. From charity fundraising to individual and team excellence we hope you enjoy reading all about the activities and events that took place during the Spring Term. GCSE Results Officially Top Class Earlier this month, The Department for Education confirmed how superb our results were last year in the published School Performance Tables. We knew they were good at the time but looking at the table opposite only serves to remind us how great they truly were. Progress 8 is the new measure for secondary schools and our result of +0.23 simply means that on average our pupils got a quarter of their GCSEs grades higher in each subject compared to all other pupils nationally. A great achievement! Teacher of the Year 2017 - Mrs Hall, we love you! A huge congratulations to Mrs Hall on becoming Teacher of the Year 2017. The award, presented by Rock FM, celebrates heroes from across Lancashire who have been honoured for their courage, selflessness and charity endeavours. This year’s award ceremony for the annual Rock FM Cash 4 Kids Time to Shine awards took place at the Blackpool Tower Ballroom. We are extremely proud of Mrs Hall and want to celebrate and thank her for all that she does in and out of school. She is truly amazing! Journey to Sanctuary Exhibition During the first week of Lent we hosted the 'Journey to Sanctuary' exhibition in school.

  • Ashton Highlightshighlights
    AshtonAshton HighlightsHighlights Newsletter 11 Friday 12th December 2014 It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas here at Ashton. In the newsletter this week you can read all about the range of activities our staff and students have taken part in to spread the seasonal message of peace and goodwill to all. You may recall in the last edition I mentioned we were welcoming some very special visitors to school this week as part of the Ashton Methodist Church Posada. You can see more of how their day was spent on page 3, but suffice to say all those who were in contact with our visitors had an opportunity to reflect on the purpose of their visit and will not forget their experience. When you look at the timetable of events for the day you will also have a good insight into a day in the life of an Ashton student; really quite revealing. Our SCAMPs programme continues to thrive and in this edition you will see how two new additions to the programme are faring. Running Club goes from strength to strength, with numbers increasing each week, see page 4 if you would like to join in. The SJA (St John Ambulance) unit also continues to thrive, with a committed group of staff and students working their way steadily through the training that will see them achieve a first aid qualification that may one day save a life. Truly remarkable determination to make a dif- ference to others can be seen every time that group meet. As we move into the final week of the school term, I would like to remind you one last time that tickets are still available for A Cosy Christmas, but they are selling fast.
