Careers Update – Summer 2019 Careers Update – Summer 2019 The last few weeks of the school year are always a really busy time for our careers provision – see below for the Summer schedule. If you want further information please feel free to email me [email protected] or call me on 01234 301500 extension 182. The activities below are carefully planned to help students develop their sense of self, knowledge of life beyond school and to build employability and resilience. We expect all students to participate and I am happy to discuss any reservations you may have. Experiences of workplaces, universities and interactions with further education establishments, employers and alumni have all been proven to increase earnings potential and reduce the chance of being not in education, employment or training in the future – something we care very much about for all of our students. I have also included some information on making the most of the summer holidays with ideas on how students can build employability skills, an update on Post 16 choices and guide to apprenticeship levels. A massive thank you to Zoedale Electronics who have offered a significant financial contribution towards the cost of a projector in the ILC which will help with the employer, college and university talks, workshops and webinars we do. I am hopeful this will be up and running in the Autumn term Currently, we are still the only school in the area to hold the Quality in Careers Standard and achieve all of the Gatsby Benchmarks. Having said that, we do not rest on our laurels and have plenty of new plans for the next Academic year including a visit to the National Skills Show, take your child to work day and the introduction of the skills builder framework. https://www.skillsbuilder.org/ Careers visits and activities schedule - Summer term 11/06/2019 Year 8 Employer Visit Dunster House 13/06/2019 Year 8 Employer Visit Ark-H 13/06/2019 Year 12 Bedford Modern School Careers Evening 14/06/2019 Year 8 Employer Visit Lloyds AM 14/06/2019 Year 8 Employer visit Lloyds PM 17/06/2019 Year 12 (rollover Year 13) Preparation for Uni Day University of Bedfordshire, Luton Campus 21/06/2019 Year 12 (rollover Year 13) UCAS Conference University of Bedfordshire, Bedford Campus 25 – 28/06/2019 Year 12 (rollover Year 13) Work experience week 27/06/2019 Year 7 (rollover Year 8) Anglia Ruskin Visit tutor groups A to D 28/06/2019 Year 7 (rollover Year 8) Anglia Ruskin Visit tutor Groups D to G 01/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Amazon AM 01/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Amazon PM 02/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Ecotile 02/07/2019 Year 12 (rollover Year 13) ‘What does the future hold for generation alpha’ lecture Professor Joe Nellis 03/07/2019 Year 7 (rollover Year 8) Lockheed Martin ‘Egglanders’ Takeover Day 04/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Beds Fire & Rescue 08/07/2019 Year 10 (rollover Year 11) Next Steps Event University of Bedfordshire Bedford Campus 11/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Zoedale Electronics 11/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Network Rail 12/07/2019 Year 6 (Transition day) Employer Speed Networking Event 15/07/2019 Year 8 (rollover Year 9) Employer Visit Wilmott Dixon Sixth Form College Apprenticeship Alternative Provision What?

Making the most of the Summer Holidays As well as enjoying a break (and hopefully some sunshine!) the Summer holidays give young people a brilliant opportunity to do some work or volunteering. Why volunteer? Not only is it a great opportunity to develop new skills and experiences to put on your CV or UCAS personal statement, but it’s also a great way of meeting new people and making a difference in your community. Below are a number of exciting ways young people can get involved in volunteering over the summer: Mencap & BDCPS (Bedford & District Cerebral Palsy Society) Summer Play schemes For students aged 14 or over with an interest in working with children, they can apply for a summer play scheme. Volunteers will be responsible for supporting a young person who has physical and/ or learning disability and encouraging them to take part in fun activities and trips.

  • Newsletter December 2017
    Newsletter December 2017 GOLDINGTON ACADEMY IS THE PLACE TO BE! New email address: [email protected] Engaging minds. Nurturing success. Inspiring futures. PRINCIPAL’S INTRODUCTION Once again it has been an incredible term, and this newsletter provides only the highlights! It gives me great pleasure to see how the young people of Goldington Academy embrace the opportunities that their teachers provide for them at school. As Christmas approaches, I have been particularly pleased to see us doing more work in the community. Last week, our choir sang at The Mallards and Kimbolton Lodge, and our community ambassadors led a Christmas craft activity with the residents, who loved the activity, as did our children who learned from Gwen (103 years old) what teaching was like ‘in the good old days’. Our community work is just one example of new initiatives here at school. We are constantly looking to provide a rich, exciting and stimulating extra-curricular provision that can bring out the individual talents of each child. Some examples of that curriculum include: Robotics and STEM; Parkour; Gardening Club and, of course, the myriad of sports clubs and competitions that take place. Our sporting success continues as the Year Five and Six girls’ football team became District Champions and both the girls’ and boys’ Year Seven and Eight teams were crowned District Sportshall Champions last week. In addition, our Arts Department have had a busy term. I particularly enjoyed our Act!17 performance of ‘Pandora’s Box’ at Bedford Modern School’s ‘Greek Myths’ collaboration. Call me biased, but I personally felt our performance was the best! Well done to Mr Stratton and all the young actors who were involved.

  • Student Achievement Celebrated at Awards Evening See Page 9
    Bedford Highlights Academy News and Views from Bedford Academy Winter 2015 Student Achievement Celebrated at Awards Evening See page 9 Inside this issue: • Students Rise to the Challenge • Glittering Awards Evening Celebrates • You Said - We Did! on Outward Bound Trip Student Achievement Welcome A message from Bedford Academy Principal, Mrs Smith. Students and staff are looking forward to a well-deserved rest during the festive period. You can read in this Newsletter about some of the varied and interesting activities students have had the opportunity to take part in during the last few months, including a report on an exciting, albeit a rather wet and windy, Outward Bound trip to Aberdovey in Wales. Just before the October half-term break, the school was visited by Ofsted and I am pleased to be able to confirm that Bedford Academy remains a good school. Some of the key strengths identified by the inspectors were that pupils in all year groups are making better than expected progress in many subjects; the Academy’s ethos, which aims to develop character in all pupils, is at the heart of its success; and that the Academy provides a high quality and well maintained learning environment for pupils. A copy of the full report is available online via the Academy’s website. I would like to thank you for all your on-going support as we progress on our journey to be outstanding. Students have also been working very hard in preparing for our whole school performance of Grease the Musical. All students, both on stage and behind the scenes, deserve a huge round of applause for all their hard work and commitment.

  • Gatsby Benchmark 7 – Encounters with Further and Higher Education
    Gatsby Benchmark 7 – Encounters with Further and Higher Education Desired Outcomes • All students should understand the full range of pathways and learning opportunities available to them. This includes academic, vocational and apprenticeship routes and learning in schools, colleges, universities and the workplace. • By the age of 16, every pupil should have had a meaningful encounter with providers covering the full range of learning opportunities. • By the age of 18, all students who are considering applying for university should have had at least two visits to universities to meet staff and students. In Practice • All partners – schools, colleges, universities, local authorities, careers guidance providers, parents/carers, employers and the wider community – have a common understanding of local employer needs and opportunities. • Schools ensure students are well-supported to choose pathways they value post-18. This work starts in year 7 through raising aspirations and inspiration. • The school acts in the best interests of the students, not the school. • The school organises suspended timetable days for different year groups, such as careers and higher education preparation days for year 12s in the summer term. • The school ensures encounters with further and higher education are part of an overall approach that encompasses: o personalised and small-group information, advice and guidance o selected sources of information, which are promoted through the school’s website, newsletter and social media o a planned programme of on-site and off-site encounters with apprenticeship providers, further and higher education to strengthen accessibility, outreach and transition preparedness for targeted groups, such as Pupil Premium, gifted and talented and students with special educational needs and disabilities o close co-operation with parents, families and carers in recognition of their key influence on children’s thinking and decision-making.

    Bedfordshire People Past and Present 1 Bedfordshire People Past and Present This is just a selection of some of the notable people associated with Bedfordshire. Bedfordshire Borough and Central Bedfordshire libraries offer a wealth of resources, for more detailed information see the Virtual Library: www.bedford.gov.uk or www.centralbedfordshire.gov.uk Click on Libraries Click on Local and Family History Click on People The Local Studies section at Bedford Central Library also holds an archive of newspaper cuttings, biography files, an obituary index, local periodicals and books, including A Bedfordshire Bibliography by L.R. Conisbee, which has a large biography section. 2 Bedfordshire People Past Offa (? -796 BC) King Offa, regarded as one of the most powerful kings in early Anglo-Saxon England, ruled for 39 years from 757 to his death in 796. It is traditionally believed that he was buried in Bedford, somewhere near Batts Ford. Falkes De Breaute (1180-1225) A French soldier and adventurer, Falkes's loyalty to King John was rewarded with a number of titles. The king also gave him Bedford Castle, which Falkes held until 1224 when it was besieged and demolished by King Henry III. Falkes escaped and fled to the continent but died on route from food poisoning. Queen Eleanor (1244-1290) The sad death of Queen Eleanor links her to Dunstable. She died in Lincolnshire and King Edward 1st – her husband – wanted her to be buried in Westminster, thus the body was taken back to London and passed through Dunstable. The king ordered memorial crosses to be erected at every place the funeral cortege stopped overnight.
