A Message from the Headmaster WINNER OF EAST ANGLIA INDEPENDENT SECONDARY SCHOOL OF THE YEAR LeysLife Issue 4 - Summer Term 2021 Sunday Times Parent Power Top Five East Anglian Independent Secondary School of the Decade A message from the Headmaster Well, so far, so good: the school has navigated its way through the trials and tribulations of the Covid Year of 2020/21 and now we are beginning to look forward to life which will be much closer to “business as usual”. Our pupils have coped remarkably well as we moved in and out of lockdowns. They showed admirable resilience and strength of character. Our staff have “gone the extra mile” to provide a Leysian education, combining academic rigour and encouragement of independent thought, stimulating wider curricular activities, and enrichment, albeit within Government restrictions. The bedrock which supported us through this difficult year has been the great community spirit of the school. Even if our social links had to be maintained by technology for periods of time, they held firm. Many individuals and institutions have found the pandemic year has prompted self-examination. What have we learned from the crisis? How can we do things better? The Leys is no exception. We have always sought to be involved in life beyond the school gates, and we have launched two initiatives which we hope will benefit the wider community: The Community Fund and The Gift of Education. You can read more about them below. LeysContinued... Life LeysLife Remembering Prince Philip As the nation mourns the passing of Prince Philip, Prince Philip’s visit in 1963 - Stan we look back with particular appreciation of his Whitehead is standing by the Prince contribution to the advancement of young people with his back to the camera; below: through the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award scheme. 40 years later Prince Philip came to The school has been involved with the scheme for more open the Clapham Building. than half a century and played a leading role in launching it in East Anglia. Stan Whitehead, who taught here for 35 years and was Deputy Head for 19 years, welcomed the Prince when he made an official visit on 30 May 1963 when the scheme was in its early days. Stan became involved in promoting the Duke of Edinburgh Award scheme through an old Oxford, friend, Peter Carpenter, who had known the Prince since their schooldays at Gordonstoun in the 1930s. “Shortly after that meeting, Peter asked if I would be interested in introducing the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Scheme to The Leys. The scheme had been created by the Duke in 1957 and I was more than delighted to bring the scheme into the programme of the Combined Cadet Force,” Stan recalled. The Duke landed on the School field in a helicopter he piloted himself, then toured the School. He was shown demonstrations of skills from First Aid to baby bathing, the latter explained by the fact that The Leys invited pupils from other Cambridge schools to join them for the special day. The first Leysian to receive his Gold award was Anthony ‘Ben’ Bamford OL (North A, 1962-66) who went to Buckingham Palace to collect his Award from the Duke in 1966 - shortly before the Duke left for the official opening of the World Cup! Since then, hundreds of Leysians have completed the awards at Bronze, Silver and Gold levels, gaining skills, enjoying physical recreation, going on expeditions, and volunteering in the community. Stan Whitehead has been in touch with our Development Office to share his memories: “The Duke gave a definite boost to the interest in the scheme among pupils. Sixty years on, it seems even stronger. It has given me great pleasure to see how many pupils are taking part in the scheme at The Leys today.” The school has had the honour of welcoming Prince Philip on other occasions, including in 1987 when he came to officially open the Rugg Centre and again in 2003 when he opened the Clapham Building. LeysLife ACADEMIC NEWS Fresh air and mental exercise Upper Sixth Chemistry pupils took advantage of a spell of good weather to revise Periodicity for assessments on the roof of our Science building. Novelist’s insights into volcano’s impact Historical novelist Guinevere Glasfurd, whose recent novel A Year Without Summer was one of just 11 long-list contenders for this year’s Walter Scott Historical Fiction Prize, spoke to our A-level English pupils via Google Meets. Guinevere (wife of Damian Glasfurd-Brown, our Director of IT) spoke about her career as a historical novelist. She has written two novels, both critically acclaimed. A Year Without Summer is about the 1815 explosion of Mount Tambora and the effect this had on the environment and society.

Rosie, who left The Leys in Summer 2020 and is now studying History at Durham University, was runner-up in a sixth-form essay competition run by the journal in the school year 2019-20. She explored the question, “Was Sir Douglas Haig the most successful British commander in the integration of technology into operational planning 1853-1945?” Her prize was £100, an engraved glass, and the honour of having her essay published. Posting on Twitter, she wrote: “So excited to have received my first official publication from @societyarmy! Many thanks to @LeysCambridge and especially @LeysHistory for helping me get there.” LeysLife ACADEMIC NEWS Emily wins Peter Watson Award Young scientists had the opportunity to develop their own research topics and present their findings at the Peter Watson Awards, held on 14 May. Peter Watson (1930-2017) was educated at The Leys on an Exhibition Scholarship. He went on be a distinguished and pioneering ophthalmologist. He endowed annual school prizes “for unusual observations; innovative thinking; constructive development of ideas and problem solving in any of the fields of science.” This year was particularly challenging for pupils to find the time to run their experiments, and many had to postpone their work until next year’s competition. First prize went to Emily H (Year 9) for her report on “Testing the Brain Drain Hypothesis”. Emily conducted an excellent literature review that then informed her own small-scale research conducted at school. She was investigating whether the mere presence of a mobile phone when learning, in this case a new language, would affect the quality and time taken to learn. Her findings were consistent with previous research showing that pupils took longer and achieved lower scores when their phone was in the room. This excellent research was well defended when put under the scrutiny of Jean-Luc Hammersley, Chemistry teacher, and Alexandra Annett, Head of Academic Enrichment and Co-ordinator of STEM. Mrs Annett, pictured with Emily, said: “Emily’s outstanding research was a result of a whole year of hard work. She showed rigor in her scientific method and was able to deliver a nuanced analysis of her data.” LeysLife WIDER CURRICULUM The debates go on The Debating Society has succeeded in maintaining Although lockdown restrictions eased in the Lent a meaningful programme while complying with Covid term it proved impractical to hold the House restrictions by operating in Year Group “bubbles”.

No school can be better than the sum of its teachers, and this edition of OP News includes the obituary of the remarkable Keith Symons who created the CCF Naval Section and used it to develop teamwork, communication, leadership, resilience, and independence. Brilliant teachers inspire young minds, and The 02 Perse is fortunate to have so many enthusiastic, committed, and caring staff. Great schools know that talents come in many different 31 shapes and forms. We are delighted that four Perseans have been selected to represent the UK in academic Olympiads, and that Perse teams reached the national finals in indoor hockey, outdoor hockey, netball, and golf competitions. Beneath the headline successes great schools value the achievements of all their pupils emphasising that endeavour matters most of all. Great schools need excellent facilities to maximise pupil learning.

    Summer Term Calendar 2021 This is a print-friendly edition of our planned summer term calendar. The electronic calendar on the web- site/ParentPortal will remain the ‘live’ and up-to-date version of plans, but I hope that this print-friendly version is helpful for pupils and parents in seeing a provisional overview of the months ahead. Our plans aspire to a return for some “intra-School” Saturday sport in the first half of term, and then a gradual evolution of fixtures and trips (local and regional) in the second half of term. Whilst we have tried to plan events in accordance with the Prime Minister’s provisional roadmap out of lockdown, there may well be further changes as national Covid advice and DfE guidance continues to evolve. We will update the website/portal calendar as required and flag any significant changes in the Friday newsletters next term.
