A Year in Reflection from the Headteacher Gillingham School Newsletter - July 2019 A Year in Reflection from the Headteacher At Gillingham, we are determined to open minds, broaden horizons, to encourage our students to be inquisitive and to always be the best they can. We are rightly proud of not only the superb teaching and learning that takes place within the classroom, but also the array of the wider curriculum opportunities that our students benefit from. Just glancing through previous newsletters are an example of that; they provide a wealth of examples of how we prepare our students for a dynamic and diverse world and therefore, illustrating perfectly the breadth and scope of our curriculum. The Ian Murray Memorial Match was a celebration of our community. It reminded ourselves of the importance of surrounding yourself with positive, can-do people. The event was an incredible team effort - both on and off the pitch. Staff and students worked tirelessly together to provide an incredible event which will last forever in our memory. As a result of everyone’s generosity, Ian’s legacy will live on when we celebrate the opening of the new Media Suite next term. Our recent Art Exhibition was not only a celebration of our students’ incredible creativity but also a powerful reminder of the importance of the Creative Arts in our curriculum and its unique qualities of allowing us to share our emotions. During the exhibition, I was mesmerised by the skill and technical ability on show, the quality of work was fantastic. Ethan Goodfellow and George Crosfield from our Sixth Form wrote an extremely personal and emotional account of their visit to Auschwitz One and Auschwitz-Birkenau. Their writing reminds us of the importance to never forget the mistakes of our ancestors and to learn from them, to recognise the importance and privilege of living and working in a multicultural society and to always treat other people both equally regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion or sexual orientation. The Sports Awards evening was again a massive success. Hundreds of people attended and it was a delight to recognise the many sporting achievements of all our students. The size of the celebration is a spectacular reminder of the power and importance of sport and recreation. Some of our students may go onto sporting greatness but all participants will learn and benefit from leading an active, healthy and fulfilling lifestyle. We are proud that we encourage all our students to make such positive choices and recognise its importance if they are to thrive in the 21st century. In March, students were heavily involved in our World Book Day Crimefest! Whilst pleasing to note that there wasn’t actually a murder in the library, Ms Vallender and her team put on a super day and really opened the students’ eyes in terms of careers pathways associated with police work and forensics. It was also great to welcome PC Craig into our school who gave a fabulous insight into the possibilities available – I know talking to a number of our students that they found this particularly inspiring. I could go on ... the list is literally endless. Gillingham School is so much more than an exam factory: we will continue to provide the richest experience for all our students so that they are able to take their place in 21st century Britain and to be a positive influence. I wish all of the students, staff and parents of Gillingham School a restful and enjoyable summer holiday and I look forward to welcoming you back in September. Mr Paul Nicholson Headteacher 1 Ten Tors Challenge As part of the Duke of Edinburgh, Joe Cooke in Year 10 took on the Ten Tors Challenge in May! ‘I have walked on Dartmoor several times but as Gillingham School doesn’t enter teams, there was no way that I could attempt the Ten Tors Challenge but as my dad is the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Manager for another school, I now had the chance to do it! The Ten Tors Challenge is the largest youth event of its kind in the country. The army runs the event every year on Dartmoor with teams of 6 students trying to complete either 35 miles, 45 miles or a 55 mile challenge in just a little under 48 hours. The Challenge itself isn’t a race, it is a mental and physical challenge - the individual and the team against the wilderness that is Dartmoor. I spent 7 months with students from Gryphon, Leweston and Gillingham walking across Dartmoor in all weather conditions whilst also walking over the New Forest and Exmoor for my Silver Award. If you want a challenge, I recommend the Ten Tors!’ Joe Cooke Year 10 Student Year 12 PE ‘Real Tennis’ Trip No more fake tennis, only Real Tennis!

It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families.
