(Cont. on page 2) Cockermouth School is very grateful to Caterite and Caterlink for their very generous sponsorship of the Christmas edition of the Last Word. “Education is the most powerful weapon you can use to change the world” Nelson Mandela. 1918 to 2013 HEAD’S LINES To meet the print schedule for the Christmas edition of Last Word, this is being written in November. Our TV screens are already dominated by Xmas ads, the lights are looking gorgeous in Cockermouth – the festive season is officially here! Leadership, rather than tinsel, has been uppermost in my mind over recent months. I have spent a great deal of time this term launching the Western Lakes Teaching School Alliance, in which Cockermouth School plays a major role. It has been such a positive experience as, in implementing it, we have forged new levels of collaboration between many secondary and primary schools, and to support this process, senior leaders at our school have had to take on additional roles and responsibilities. Subject and pastoral leaders have had a busy term managing a new timetable, and planning for major changes in curriculum and assessment. Their experience and advice has been invaluable. Support staff leaders and their teams are the crucial backbone of the school as they plan and undertake a myriad of tasks, allowing teaching staff to concentrate their focus on teaching. Teachers, of course, are leaders within their own classroom, and the atmosphere and levels of interest and innovation has been outstanding. Kids’ Lit Quiz Team wins I have also been impressed by the leadership skills of our students. Students in the 6th form are leading and organising Regional Final many of our school activities (running the school all too well on Takeover Day for example!), the Student Council, as ever, The Cockermouth team comprising two Y8s, Eve Westwood and Alex Tyrrell, and two Y7s, emerges with real credit, and there are constant reminders Rosie Spencer and Leo Morgan, won 1st place at the North West heat of the Quiz and will of students taking the lead on the sports field, within drama be travelling to Wimbledon, London as we go to print where they will pit their wits against productions and in many other enrichment activities. winning teams from each of the 17 regional heats – and hopefully win the UK final. We are all leading ever onwards and upwards! I wish all With full marks in the first round, where they played their Joker and thus doubled their students, staff, families, friends and supporters of our school a score, the Kids’ Lit Quiz Team produced the highest score in this year’s heats so far in very happy Christmas and a peaceful new year. categories such as Numbers in Titles, Rodents, Royalty and Owls and scored an amazing 91.5 points out of a possible 110. This is the 5th year our team has won the local heat! Next summer the world finals will be held in Cornwall where the winning UK team will meet the Mr Walker, Headteacher best teams representing the USA, Canada, South Africa, New Zealand and Australia, and each will compete for the title of Kids’ Lit Quiz champions of 2014. CHILDREN IN NEED (Continued rom page 1) This was one of many activities that the students organised. Other events included the Non Uniform Day, where the students and staff paid £1 not to wear their school uniforms and wear casual and fancy dress and onesies. Cake sales were held throughout the school. Staff and students showed off their footballing skills in a Cross Bar Challenge on the all-weather pitch. In the Gym, students and staff created Pudsey’s face out of coins – all of which will then be donated. A cracker eating competition was held in the Common Room and a Mokython took place in the Eco Centre with 43 students participating. “The students and staff are very supportive of the BBC Children in Need appeal and are very generous,” said Headteacher Geoff Walker. “I was very impressed by the waxed boys’ bravery and the efforts of all students and staff in their fundraising activities. They are a credit to the school and the day was a huge success.” Cockermouth School has supported the appeal since it started a number of years ago.

Parents’ evenings, New Intake evenings, school performances, bag packing: we have been there, raising money for your children and their school.

We always need more help though so if you would like to join our committee (6 one hour long meetings a year), our Parent Helper list (for parents who could occasionally lend a hand selling refreshments), our 100 Club (£1 a month!) or donate chocolate or wine to our raffle prize cache, please email Joan Ellis on [email protected] or call her on direct line 01900 829753 for a chat.
