Denmark Road News Denmark Road News Issue 4: April 2019 Dear Parents/Carers I am never quite sure how we manage to fit so much in to a term, but we do! I know you will enjoy reading this newsletter, which highlights the wonderful experiences and achievements of our students.

We also celebrated the achievement of the Charity Committee, a student body formed of representatives from each Year 7 to 10 tutor group and ably led by 7 Year 11 students. The committee has so far raised an incredible £2011.21 for their chosen charity ‘Make a Wish’. The committee members (listed below) were awarded their pin badges today.

These are as follows: Individual House Point Totals: 1st Mynd - 3284, 2nd Kyneburga - 3195, 3rd Bearland - 3086, 4th Hartland - 3003, 5th Barwell - 2900 Overall House totals as at end of Term 4: 1st Bearland - 391, 2nd Mynd - 390, 3rd Kyneburga - 368, 4th Barwell - 366, 5th Hartland - 362 As you can see with just 29 points between 1st and 5th place the competition is still on to be overall Champions at the end of Term 6. With best wishes for a wonderful Easter.

Page 3 of 32 - Denmark Road High School Newsletter – We Discover, Realise, Honour and Shape - Issue 4 – April 2019 Cyber First Girls Competition 2019 in Edinburgh Back in January, I sent an email out to all Year 8 students asking if they would be interested in entering this competition. It is the 3rd year it has been run by NCSC, part of GCHQ. 6 Teams signed up ranging from a team of 1 person to the maximum of 4. The on-line part of the competition was held over 1 week in January. During this, the girls came to IT1 during lunch and after-school in order to solve many problems by entering the correct flags into the system. There were 4 sections to this - Cryptography, networks, coding and cyber security each with beginners, intermediate and expert level of problems to solve. During the week, we had a school leader board on display that led to a big rivalry between the teams! 3 days after the competition I had that magic phone call to say that the Cheesepuffs had managed to solve enough problems, without using hints, to allow them to attend the final in Edinburgh, as one of only 10 teams. They were overwhelmed with the news and excited. We had to tell them they couldn't say anything for over a week as there was a news embargo. Being close to the NCSC we were asked to be the voices of the competition on Radio Gloucestershire with the support of Chris Endsor, Deputy Director of NCSC during the breakfast show. We had a month to wait to the actual final, during which the girls carried on researching all things cyber. The Sunday before the competition we met at Gloucester train station bright and early to travel the 6 hours up to Edinburgh, during which many games of Snap (silently!), Cheat and Cluedo were played. We arrived at the hotel realising we had the best view of the castle from our rooms. During the briefing we were told the location of our formal dinner that night - Edinburgh Castle's Great Hall and that the First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon was meant to have been there. Sadly there seems to have been something quite major happening politically that she deemed more important! During the evening, we had a private viewing of the Scottish crown jewels, as well as an empty castle, such a privilege! Monday was the competition - we were based in the Playfair Library within the University of Edinburgh. A fantastic space to use as all the tasks were in one place. The 10 teams were asked to solve problems and fix a new app called 'Pomboo’ as if they were employees of a cyber security company after a cyber-attack on the app. To compete he teams had to find the flaws and problems in the app and as many ‘Easter eggs’ as they could to gain 'flags’ to gain points. Watching the leaderboard from behind the 'staff pen’ (no help allowed!) was painful -they led for around 45 minutes during the morning and were always in the top 4! To finish the morning, they had to write an email to Pomboo board explaining their findings, which then led to our final task - presenting to the board all the breaches, problems and fixes they had found and devised during the morning. One task to finish - all 40 girls having to solve mixed problems to solve a question as a group… did you know the duchess of Cambridge's grandmother was one of Bletchley Park's finest? In the end, the girls did not win on the day but in reality, they are winners being one of the 10 out of 3389 teams that entered - a phenomenal achievement! They were disappointed but do realise their success. They have been given a reward for their efforts - a trip to Windsor Castle in May to have afternoon tea with the Duke of York. Well Done Chloe, Isabel, Jasmine and Olivia!

As we were leaving Vienna Airport the coach was buzzing with noise and excitement even though we still had a long way to travel! The scenery in Austria always kept our cameras at the ready, as the thick fluffy snow outside was very contrasting with the weather at home. We all wanted to arrive as soon as possible to jump in the snow, or have a very competitive snowball fight! Every night, we had a different activity, for example; Disco, Tobogganing, Swimming, Pizzeria and Quiz Night where we learnt some questionable facts about the teachers! In the mornings, we would always have a playlist of brilliant songs (it would always wake us up!). Once we’d had our breakfast and were kitted up, we would head for the mountains or to the nursery slope, depending on how much experience we had. To see the beautiful mountain range around the area you had to go on the variety of ski lifts, chair lifts, cable cars and the amazing g-link, which were all such good fun! The G-link was a huge ski lift, which can carry 130 people; it would travel back and forth from two different mountains. When you were on the lift you would be able to see little towns below, it was beautiful! Skiing down the mountain was also an exhilarating experience! On the last day of skiing, we had lots of fun going down most of the slopes around Wagrain, (the place in which we stayed). During the day the advanced and intermediate groups had a go at a slalom course to see how much we had improved from the beginning of the holiday, which was a great deal, and we had had so much fun learning along the way.

    Secondary School and Academy Admissions INFORMATION BOOKLET 2021/2022 For children born between 1st September 2009 and 31st August 2010 Page 1 Schools Information Admission number and previous applications This is the total number of pupils that the school can admit into Year 7. We have also included the total number of pupils in the school so you can gauge its size. You’ll see how oversubscribed a school is by how many parents had named a school as one of their five preferences on their application form and how many of these had placed it as their first preference. Catchment area Some comprehensive schools have a catchment area consisting of parishes, district or county boundaries. Some schools will give priority for admission to those children living within their catchment area. If you live in Gloucestershire and are over 3 miles from your child’s catchment school they may be entitled to school transport provided by the Local Authority. Oversubscription criteria If a school receives more preferences than places available, the admission authority will place all children in the order in which they could be considered for a place. This will strictly follow the priority order of their oversubscription criteria. Please follow the below link to find the statistics for how many pupils were allocated under the admissions criteria for each school - https://www.gloucestershire.gov.uk/education-and-learning/school-admissions-scheme-criteria- and-protocol/allocation-day-statistics-for-gloucestershire-schools/. We can’t guarantee your child will be offered one of their preferred schools, but they will have a stronger chance if they meet higher priorities in the criteria.

When the registration process is complete, further details of the test day will be provided by the allocated test centre where the candidate will sit the test.

  • Gloucester Academy Interim Principal
    GLOUCESTER ACADEMY BELONG BELIEVE STRIVE ACHIEVE Term 6 Ends Friday 19th July 2019 1.35pm Term 1 Wednesday 4th September—Year 7 & 11. Thursday 5th Septemer—All year groups INTERIM PRINCIPAL Dear Parent or Carer, I can’t believe it’s summer time already, the six week holiday is just around the corner and I’ve come to the end of my 21st year in teaching! As with every year in education, there are highs and lows, but it is always the students who put a smile on your face, say something you’re not expecting or show you just how hard they have been working. Over the year we have collectively shown, through many challenges, the resilience and determination to move the academy forward in our journey to remove ourselves from special measures. Many of the students have applied themselves well, attended each day and shown an excellent attitude in all they have done. The staff at Gloucester Academy have worked tirelessly to ensure we have the facilities each day to learn in; lessons that challenge our young people and activities where by students can experience new opportunities. There is still much to do and I am confident that our collaborative approach will continue to enhance the next steps of the academy. I would also like to thank the many parents/ carers who have supported the academy over the year. Without your commitment to us, we would not be able to achieve the things we can with your son/ daughter. As you will already know, Mr Paul Holroyd will be the permanent Principal of Gloucester Academy from September as I step down from being the Interim Principal.
