Newsletter 19:5 2017 3rd March 2017 STANDING OUT THE MAGAZINE FOR MOUNTS BAY ACADEMY Friday 19th Cover: International friendship May 2017 It’s all about you... PRINCIPAL’S REPORT Here, there and everywhere... If last week the Academy had a community feel, then this week we have had a distinctly international atmosphere, welcoming students and teachers from our partner schools in the Czech Republic and Denmark I was astonished to realise that this year we are celebrating the tenth anniversary of our Welcoming Our Czech Friends partnership with Zakladni Skola Za Aleji, a school in Uherske Hradiste, Czech Republic. This is the tenth annual visit from our Czech friends, the longest international partnership Mounts Bay has enjoyed with any school. CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF INTERNATIONAL PARTNERSHIP Celebrating 10 Years Thank you for your partnership We were then lucky enough to have a visit from Sara Davey, Mounts Bay Academy Principal another of our international partners from Lille Skole, Helsingør, Denmark. I have had the pleasure of visiting this school which has a very similar adventure learning ethos as our own. Along with attending a variety of lessons, our guests have enjoyed a mixture of local visits including; Padstow, St Ives, surf lessons at Sennen as well as sports at the Academy in the evenings. The last lap Our Year 11 students have now embarked on their last lap of their time with us and this week have started their GCSE Examination timetable in earnest. It’s great to see you all showing courtesy and respect for your peers by moving around the campus in a calm and relaxed manner between lessons and during break-times. This really helps those in the examination areas to concentrate and get the outcomes they deserve, so thank you for your efforts Be a success Venturing Further The Governors and the Senior Team have also been working hard considering a formal merger into a Multi Academy Trust that will give us the opportunity to offer even better learning experiences to every student here at Mounts Bay. I have written an open letter to you all outlining what this means and asking for your views. I hope you will take this opportunity to let us know your viewpoint. Best wishes WORLD CLASS ADVENTUROUSON YOUR DOORSTEPLEARNING Sara Davey Academy Principal BE YOUR BEST Da Vinci Award A part of the HPI Geography scheme students in both Years 8 and 9 have been provided with the opportunity to independently develop their geographical interests and skills, through our new KS3 Scholars Program. The program is based on a university research thesis approach, with the emphasis on the students to research their projects and come to a drop in session on a Thursday lunchtime to discuss project aims, obstacles, challenges and outcomes. Students also had the opportunity to decide how best to present their projects and their findings with mediums across a variety of styles. Students were offered the choice of two strands of investigation in either a physical or human topic. All students involved decided to investigate the question "How sustainable is Cornwall?" They independently took ownership of their projects and developed their own lines of research. The work produced was truly outstanding and prizes are to be awarded once all projects have been judged by the Geography department and HPI lead Mr Jack. EXCELLENCE REWARD Get Collecting Now! Report by Mr Hopper BEBE INTERNATIONALINSPIRED Czech Republic Visit This week we have welcomed students from ZS Za Aleji school in the Czech Republic as part of our International Partnerships Programme. They arrived on Sunday evening and were straight into lessons on Monday morning after being introduced to their Year 8 buddies. The partnership with ZS Za Aleji has been running for 10 years now and has involved a series of visits by staff and students from both schools to allow them to sample the different learning styles that they can experience in each country. On Tuesday we held a welcome assembly where Mrs Davey spoke about our strong links and the importance of friendship not only at local level but also internationally. We were then treated to two musical items from MBA students before a student from ZS Za Aleji gave our Year 8s some information about their school and culture. Along with attending a variety of lessons, our guests have had a mixture of local visits to enjoy including; Padstow sightseeing, St Ives to the Tate, Sennen to have surf lessons as well as sports at the Academy in the evenings. It has been a great week and we look forward to continuing to grow this friendship over the future years. Report by Mr Jenkin BEBE INTERNATIONALINSPIRED Danish Visit This week we have welcomed our Danish partners into our school, beginning with an assembly on Wednesday which introduced the exchange to our Years 8 and 9. We will be returning to Helsingør Lille Skole in September (18th - 22nd) and want to take ten boys and ten girls to sample life in a Danish school. Thank you to Amber, Katie, Emily and Arianna who gave wonderful performances highlighting the musical talent at Mounts Bay. Sos and Toby, the Danish teachers, brought their Year 8 class: Claudia, Olivia, Oscar, Johan, Nana, Juslius, Gustav, Malou, Bertram, Oliver, Nikolai, Frederikke, Karla, Rakkel, Gregers, Max, Clara, Elias, Sebastian and Maya. Danish students spent Wednesday following the school timetable of their hosts: Shannon, Amber, Ella, Arianna, Thomas, Sophie, Declan, Dulcie, Hollie, Summer and Rose and enjoyed experiencing a wide variety of lessons. On Thursday, we all spent the day sightseeing and were fortunate to have wonderful weather. We began our tour at Mousehole and took the coast road to St Ives; along the way we stopped off at The Merry Maidens, Porthcurno and Lands End. Today we are at the Eden Project, which the Danish students have learned about as part of their work on sustainability and are looking forward to visiting. Our guests depart on Saturday morning in order to spend some time in London before heading home. We have had a wonderful few days. Thank you to the host students and their families for making their guests feel so welcome and comfortable and to all the teachers and students at Mounts Bay who made sure they had a great time with us. (If you are currently in Years 8 or 9 and would like to find out more information about the exchange please see Mr Helliwell or me and we can give you a letter to take home to parents and spend some time chatting with you about what to expect.) Report by Mrs Marsden BE INSPIRED REAL Project - Sustainability This semester 7 Warm are following the Sustainability Scheme of Work. This is a Geography based REAL Project and the final outcome is to develop an idea of how to make a particular aspect of West Cornwall more sustainable. Each tutor group is looking at a different major city around the world first whilst also learning more about world geography. 7 Warm's city is the ‘Big Apple’: New York! This has caused great excitement in the tutor group as Ms Bennett recently returned from there and brought lots of props back to show the class. Report by Ms Bennett REAL Project - A Trip of a Lifetime The final semester of Real Project is underway and 7 Orange have made a wonderful start. They have been researching and exploring the continents of the world and discovering different facts about countries of their choosing. They will be creating their own travel journal of 10 stops around the world. All students have chosen many different countries including Peru, Norway, India and Madagascar. Once they have completed the round the world trip we will stop and look at Sydney and focus on how it is sustainable. A big focus will be on Sydney Opera House and Taronga Zoo who are known worldwide for their outstanding practice of sustainability. As an end point to the semester students will develop their own plan for a ‘Sustainable Penwith’. They will be creating drawings, maps and a presentation to showcase their final plan. Report by Miss Walters and Mr Floyd BE INSPIRED REAL Project Books Watch this space! The finished books made in one of this year's REAL Projects - 'How do you capture the spirit of a place?' are currently in production, so we will be seeing the final product very soon! Watch this space for information about the four books that all students have made, and the up and coming book launch to celebrate all the hard work. Report by Miss Green BE CURIOUS Poem Inspired by Banksy You ignore us. We are barely discussed. Are we invisible? Easily missable We are just kids But are sold by bids. We are the hidden slaves With no life….just dig our graves. So very tired, it hurts to yelp And when at last we scream for help Can you hear us? Do you care? Blood from our battered skin seeps out And chapped lips suffering from drought Broken and lined In spirit and in mind But still we stand in uniform Nothing to say and never pay. Heavy bags are under our eyes From late night toil and early rise. I can no longer stand the pain I want to be a normal child again. By Archie Davey, 9 Yellow BE CURIOUS History Comes to Life Year 10 History students explored artifacts from World War One on Friday as part of the new AQA GCSE course. Mr Blackabey brought history alive with his collection ranging from shrapnel fragments to a Lee Enfield rifle.

  • Cornwall Schools' Shared Designated Areas
    Information Classification: PUBLIC Cornwall Schools’ Shared Designated Areas Background Cornwall Council has divided Cornwall into geographical areas called ‘designated areas’ which are each served by a specific school or schools. Designated areas assist the Council in ensuring there are enough school places and are also used to determine entitlement to school transport. Please note that the designated school for an address may not always be the one nearest to that address. All designated areas can be viewed online: http://www.cornwall.gov.uk/education-and- learning/schools-and-colleges/school-admissions/designated-areas/ Please be aware that not all schools include ‘living in the designated area’ as a priority in their oversubscription criteria (the criteria that will be used to decide who should be allocated places when there are more applications than places available). However, entitlement to transport to all schools is determined by Cornwall Council with regard to whether the school is in the designated area for a child’s home address or is their nearest school. In some towns in Cornwall, more than one school may be designated for an address. These are called 'shared designated areas'. These towns and the schools that are included in the shared area, as defined on the Cornwall Council mapping system (see link above), are listed in this document.
