Welcome to the Winter Edition of the STEM Ambassadors Newsletter for Surrey and Berkshire. We have lots of volunteering opportunities in the New Year; please see the table below for more details. We have also outlined how to add an activity to the database for those of you that are unsure about this. Please do keep in touch about any activities you are participating in. We hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Adding an Activity to the Database If you are participating in events and haven’t either told us about it or added it to the database, then please do so. Every activity is valued and it is important that we know about it, even if it hasn’t been organised through us. Any activity that involves participation with schools on STEM-related activities counts, so make sure you keep us up to date. Events that you are planning to take part in also can be added to the database up to six months in advance. As the STEMNET insurance is only valid for activities recorded on the database before the event, we recommend you add activities before they take place. To log an activity on the database, you need to log in at https://db.stemnet.org.uk using the email and address and password you registered with (if you have forgotten your password, you can reset it via the ‘Forgotten Your Password’ link on the login page). After you’ve logged in, you should be able to see several links including options to add a single school or multi school activity. You can add your activity by clicking on one of these links and inputting the information requested. If you do have any problems with this, then please let us know. Also if you don’t have time to log activities yourself, then we are happy to do it for you. Send us an email at [email protected] stating the nature of the activity, the date it was held (or will be held), the names of any schools involved and an estimate as to the number of students.

  • What Is School Direct? What Are the Routes?
    What is School Direct? School Direct is a programme whereby schools recruit trainees directly and select them to train and work within their partnership schools. Schools, therefore, have more control over the quality of training that is provided and how it is delivered. We guarantee an interview for any relevant post in a partnership school for those who are successful on the programme with us. What are the routes? There are two routes into School Direct: Salaried and non- salaried. The salaried route is aimed at graduates with at least 3 years work experience and is an employment based route into teaching. The non-salaried route is open to all graduates funded by tuition fees paid by the graduate. Our School Direct programmes will lead you to gaining a PGCE in conjunction with our partnership universities. Who is in our partnership? The Warwick School (Lead School) (www.warwick.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate School (http://www.reigate-school.surrey.sch.uk) Oakwood School (http://www.oakwood.surrey.sch.uk) Reigate College (http://www.reigate.ac.uk/) Royal Alexandra and Albert School (http://www.raa-school.co.uk/) University of Sussex (http://www.sussex.ac.uk/education) University of Brighton (http://about.brighton.ac.uk/education/) St. Mary’s University College, Twickenham (http://www.smuc.ac.uk/education-theology-and- leadership/) We have a very successful and long-standing tradition of working with these schools and universities and have been fortunate enough to offer permanent employment to several of our PGCE student teachers in the past. What kind of training can we offer you? The model for training that we will follow will primarily focus on training in the classroom as well as having regular focused training days delivered by outstanding practitioners.

  • 19/00875/S73 VALID: 22.05.2019 APPLICANT: Reigate College AGENT
    Planning Committee Agenda Item: 7 22nd January 2020 19/00875/S73 TO: PLANNING COMMITTEE DATE: 22 January 2020 REPORT OF: HEAD OF PLACES & PLANNING AUTHOR: Lesley Westphal TELEPHONE: 01737 276626 EMAIL: [email protected] AGENDA ITEM: 7 WARD: Reigate APPLICATION NUMBER: 19/00875/S73 VALID: 22.05.2019 APPLICANT: Reigate College AGENT: n/a LOCATION: REIGATE COLLEGE, CASTLEFIELD ROAD, REIGATE, SURREY RH2 0SD DESCRIPTION: Construction of new 2 – storey business teaching block, part demolition of existing Holmesdale building with new pitched roof to retained part. Variation of condition 8 of permission 03/00711/F which states: No more than 1200 students are permitted on site at any one time. All plans in this report have been reproduced, are not to scale, and are for illustrative purposes only. The original plans should be viewed/referenced for detail. This application is referred following the deferral from the 27th November Committee Meeting, to secure additional information. SUMMARY This application proposes the variation of condition 8 attached to a 2003 planning application for extension works to the College, which imposed a limit of 1200 pupils being on the site at any time. In reality it appears possible that more than 1200 pupils may already, on occasion, be on the site and that as a result of changes to the courses on offer, the way in which students’ study and student numbers that this number could be exceeded in the future and this application seeks to address this fact. The application originally proposed the removal of the condition, but it has been agreed with the applicant that a new condition be imposed with a limit of 1900 pupils – calculated to be sufficient to accommodate anticipated student numbers resulting from curriculum and student number changes.

  • WEEKLY BULLETIN — 11 March 2016 from the Headmaster
    WEEKLY BULLETIN — 11 march 2016 From the Headmaster Last weekend was particularly busy in the vibrant RGS calendar with hundreds of visitors attending events at the school. On Sunday 6 March over 40 schools descended upon RGS Hartswood for the 2016 Reigate Charity 7s, sponsored by John Laing. Now established as one of the most popular tournaments in the country, schools from the length and breadth of the country arrived bright and early for the exciting day of rugby ahead. Harrow faced Reigate Grammar School in the Boys’ Cup Final and in a powerful display it was Harrow who ran out eventual winners with a 34-14 victory against a young but talented RGS side. This was a thrilling match, refereed by Wayne Barnes who took time out of his busy international and domestic schedule to officiate the proceedings. In the girls’ competition, the RGS girls’ VII also put in some tremendous performances throughout the day, culminating in a comprehensive 29-5 victory over King Henry VIII School in the Shield Final. For a full report and photo gallery of the day’s events, please click here. On Saturday 5 March the Dining Hall was full of former students who, along with former and current staff and parents, joined together to celebrate Aubs' Day in memory of Aubrey Scrase who passed away last year having been a member of the school community since 1956. The uplifting atmosphere truly reflected the purpose of the day: to celebrate Aubs the man, educator and all round inspiration to many. Upon hearing the rendition of the school song, To be A Pilgrim, some questioned whether it had ever been sung with such passion and conviction! A highlight from the day came from those who shared their personal stories and memories of Aubs.
