'A Message from Nathan and Beth' Edition 4: March 2016 ‘A message from Nathan and Beth’ My name is Nathan Smith and I will be the Head Boy of Highcliffe school for 2016-2017, alongside the newly appointed Head Girl Beth Allum. I am currently studying Maths, Chemistry, Physics and Music. After finishing Sixth Form here at Highcliffe I hope to go on to study at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, where I will start my journey into becoming an officer in the British army. As Head Boy I look forward to starting up a Careers Festival together with the Head Girl and the extended Leader- ship Team in the Sixth Form. The Careers Festival will showcase a wide range of career pathways available to students post 16 and post 18. Beth and I also look forward to arranging the Freshers’ event for the new year 12s next year; many other sixth form events are in the pipeline already. My name is Beth and I have been a part of Highcliffe School since I joined as a Year 7 student in 2010. Since I've been here I have had so many experiences that have made me who I am today; including being a part of the school's production of We Will Rock You, the French and Spanish Exchanges, 2015 Prom and even the dreaded GCSE exams, just to name a few. Once I have finished my A Levels in Maths, Chemistry, Physics and French, I hope to go to university to study an engineering-based subject. As Head Girl, I hope to work with Nathan, Chloe and Sami (the amazing deputies) and the rest of the school to ensure that the last two years of our school career meet the high standards of the last 5 years and also make sure that the rest of the school have the secondary school experience that they deserve. Exams! As the exam programme approaches, all the staff at Highcliffe Nathan Smith Beth Allum School would like to wish students taking GCSEs, AS and A Head Boy Head Girl levels the very best of luck! Congratulations to all 11 applicants who were successfully accepted onto the AUB Arts Foundation Course following a day of interviewing. Their portfolios of work were exhibited in the Da Vinci building showcasing the exciting diversity of talent and skills that our Sixth Form Art students have developed. The exhibition was on display for a month culminating in a private view for teachers and parents who came to celebrate their successes! Challenge University News As the university offer and interview season draws to a close, our current figures for the Class of 2016 are impressive; 368 offers have been received, 31% of which are from Russell Group Universities including 2 offers from Oxford and 1 from Cambridge. We have also seen an increase in specialised courses and universities high- lighting our students’ diverse talents and ambitions. These include: Music Journalism at the Tech Music School in London (the school is part of the BIMM Institute with notable Alumni including Sandy Beales and Dan Richards, Luke Harris, Phil Simmonds and Ed Drewett); Bioveterinary Science at the Harper Adams University (a specialist in agricultural studies, veterinary nursing and equine management) and Primary Education at St Mary’s (a university with a well-established reputation for excellence in the areas of Education, Sport and Theology). Geographically, our students have traditionally opted for universities in the South and West of England and South Wales with this year showing similar trends. Most notable are Exeter at the top with 30 offers, Bournemouth (21 with 11 being Arts Foundation) Cardiff (19), Bath (19) and Southampton (18). However, 2016 is proving to be ground-breaking with many students setting their sights further afield, venturing to the North of England, Scotland and Northern Ireland. There are 21 offers alone received from the Russell Group Universities of Liverpool, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, York, Durham, Newcastle, Glasgow and Queen’s University Belfast. All in all, a truly diverse, aspirational and exciting outlook for the Class of 2016! We wish our Y13s the best of luck in their A levels and securing a place at the university of their choice. Aspirant Programme History Year 12 and 13 have embarked on research projects as part of their studies. Year 12 have investigated why the US was unable to win in Vietnam. Year 13 focused on the end of the fall of Communism in Eastern Europe and whether it was driven by the people or the Governments themselves. They then went on to present their findings to the class. Sam Baker and Jake Eastwood have been chosen to train as Holocaust Ambassadors by the Holocaust Educational Trust. As part of their training they have had the opportunity to travel to Poland and visit Auschwitz concentration camp. Geography At the start of the academic year, Year 12 Geographers went to Beaulieu River to explore how it changes from source to mouth. Rather than doing this on foot, a more unusual mode of transport was adopted as students canoed. They got to know each other as well as noting the important geographical features of a river system. This was soon followed by a more conventional type of fieldwork where students completed a transect of Dockens Water. Recently we have been fortunate enough to complete a series lectures with Southampton University focusing on the topic of Health. Students received expert guidance on current health issues around the world including Zika, Ebola and Malaria. This provided the students with extended knowledge beyond what they would ordinarily experience at AS and a glimpse of Geography at university. Religion, Philosophy and Ethics As part of our Philosophy and Ethics courses we regularly attend academic conferences with students from around the country. The speakers are some of the most well known in their fields and provide new perspectives on a range of different topics. In the past, we have enjoyed lectures on a wide range of Y12s attend Oxbridge Conference subjects from the origins of the universe to genetic engineering; from sexual ethics to Utilitarianism. Animated debates always form part of the day. Other Programmes in our next edition... On 22nd March 2016, ten Year 12 students attended the Oxbridge Conference at Epsom Downs racecourse. It was an excellent opportunity for the students to listen to expert advice on how to make a competitive application and attend talks throughout the day on a variety of subjects and student life. Students came away armed with lots of literature to read and food for thought. Today provided a brilliant insight into the nature of specific courses at “ “ these universities, as well as to applying to Oxford and Cambridge.

  • Highcliffe School 11-18 Foundation School and Specialist College
    Highcliffe School 11-18 Foundation School and Specialist College Information Intake 2010 Vision Statement: I believe in using what you have, instead of mourning for that which you do not. In thirty years time, I want to be able to look back at my youth and know that I used my talents fully: that I wasted nothing Highcliffe School Welcome Dear Parents Welcome to Highcliffe and thank you for showing an interest in our school. Please accept, with my compliments, this copy of our School Information Booklet, which I hope will help you to get to know us better. The ethos at Highcliffe – the ‘feel’ of our School, is very special. We emphasise enjoyment in learning, within a caring, purposeful and stimulating environment, where individual students matter and their well being and success are paramount. At the heart of any harmonious, ambitious community lie personal relationships which encourage, challenge and enable all to give of their best – striving to build upon their previous best – on a daily basis. ‘Excellence for All, Excellence from All’. We therefore seek to provide the highest-quality educational opportunities for our students. To make our school even better is our ambition. We will need the participation and commitment of our students, and the support of our parents, if we are to meet this challenge. I believe that it is our responsibility to make a positive difference to the future life chances of each and every person. Highcliffe is a successful school and we can all be proud of our students and their achievements in a wide range of fields.

  • Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council
    8/8/2018 Local Government Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council Personal Details: Name: Mark Howell E-mail: [email protected] Postcode: Organisation Name: The Party for Poole People Ltd. (Poole People) Comment text: We strongly disagree with the proposed boundary between Oakdale, Parkstone and Poole Town wards. We believe that the Council's submission to the Commission was been a deliberate act of gerrymandering by the exclusively Conservative and secretly conducted sub-committee that generated it. The Poole People party is strong in central Poole, having two of the three councillors (including me), whereas Parkstone is traditionally Conservative. We believe that the Conservatives want to reduce the number of councillors in Poole Town ward to limit the Poole People party's chances of getting councillors elected. We expect the committee probably thought the natural Conservative majority in Parkstone would withstand the absorption of some Poole People voters. The Commission's published proposals varied the Council's submission by making Oakdale, not Parkstone, a three councillor ward. In its report it says "We agree with the Joint Committee that the Longfleet area should be represented in a single ward but consider that it is likely to relate better to Oakdale than to Parkstone. We therefore propose to include the area from Tatnam Road to the cricket ground in our Oakdale ward." We disagree with this statement because (a) the Commission's proposals do not incorporate all of Longfleet in Oakdale,as a significant chunk of Heckford Park remains in Poole Town ward; and (b) Longfleet residents have always looked towards the town centre and not Parkstone or Oakdale, and still do.
