Let Us Hear Your Compliments, Suggestions Or Complaints Let us hear your compliments, suggestions or complaints: www.orleanspark.richmond.sch.uk/contact-us Weekly Entries to Website: Sixth Form Open Evening Year 7 Exam Week Timetable Tuesday 25 June 2013 London Youth Games - May 2013 Trials flyer 6pm – 9pm From the Headteacher GCSE Drama Showcase Last week the Year 11 GCSE Drama pupils performed their group examination pieces to an audience of friends and family as a final preparation for the actual GCSE examination the following day. This year the examination brief was to create a performance that would make the audience ‘think’, and the result was some very hard-hitting pieces. The pupils worked incredibly hard to perfect their plays, coming in at weekends and spending time after school rehearsing. It certainly paid off as the quality of the performances was simply outstanding and it was a hugely enjoyable evening. My thanks go to Ms Smith and Ms Davies, assisted by Mr Flowerdew, who gave up considerable amounts of time to direct and rehearse the pupils. Year 11 Leavers As the main written examinations approach we shall be formally saying goodbye to our Year 11 pupils this Friday. There will be a final assembly in the morning and then the pupils will start their formal study leave. As in previous years an extensive revision programme has been planned for the run-up to the examinations and during the examination period. A number of key pupils have been asked to attend school as normal, whilst others may choose a more flexible approach. Year 10 Pupils Our Year 10 pupils had their end of year examinations last week and we were very impressed by their attitude and application. School Fund I am most grateful to all the parents/carers who contribute annually to the School Fund. This year we have decided to spend some of this money on the following resources which will benefit all pupils in the school: A replacement art kiln New faster computers in the Art Department so that pupils can use the Photoshop software New sewing machines. Three Peaks Challenge A group of Year 10 pupils, led by Mr Richards, spent the Bank Holiday weekend scaling Scafell Pike, the final peak in their Three Peaks Challenge. I am most grateful to Mr Richards for giving our pupils this amazing opportunity and I know they will have gained many skills and confidence by taking part. Pupil Successes Our pupils have been excelling once again in all sports and recently our girls have enjoyed considerable success in rugby league. Teams in all four age groups qualified for the National Rugby League finals after winning the London & South East rounds. Well done girls and good luck! A number of our pupils are members of the Richmond Gymnastics Squad and three pairs recently won gold at the British Acrobatic Championships in Stoke. Isabella Montagna won a gold medal in the mixed pair (13 to 19 Juniors) with her partner Lewis Walker. Congratulations to Isabella and good luck at the European Acrobatic Championships in Lisbon later this year. Congratulations to Martha Bullen in Year 8, who has become the Borough’s first Racketlon 7th May Champion. Martha had to compete in four different racket sports, tennis, table tennis, badminton and squash. This is an amazing achievement. Well done Martha. 2013 Bessie Farr has been asked to perform as part of the Richmond Youth Symphony Orchestra to launch the Richmond Borough Garden Festival on 7 May at Orleans Gallery. I am always delighted to hear about the positive contributions our young people are making to the wider community. York Gardens Since writing in last week’s Newsletter about the repeated misbehaviour of a minority of our pupils in York Gardens and my proposed ban, I have received a number of emails from parents/carers who feel that this decision is unjustified. York Gardens is a small and peaceful garden and a delightful place to sit, especially in the warmer weather. However this also means that pupils using the gardens are in full view of the Council Offices. Despite my repeated pleas, a small number of pupils continue to behave inappropriately in the gardens, giving us a very bad name in the local community which is hugely disappointing. I do, of course, always prefer to identify and deal with the individuals concerned when any unacceptable behaviour occurs in the community but in this situation it has proved very difficult to do so, despite regular spot checks before and after school. I do, however appreciate that there are many pupils who do use the gardens sensibly and enjoy going there after school with friends. I have therefore decided to compromise and my solution is to issue a York Garden pass to pupils who I feel can be trusted to use the gardens appropriately. Pupils who would like permission to use the gardens regularly should come and see me during morning registration in my office supported by a note from their parents/carers. I will then put a formal note in their planners giving them permission to use the gardens. Hopefully this will be fair for everybody. Robberies and Muggings There appears to be an increase in the number of school age pupils being robbed of their mobile phones in the borough. Last week two Year 8 pupils were in Moormead Park after school and were asked the time by two youths. They were then threatened and had their phones taken, which as you can appreciate was extremely upsetting and frightening for them. I am pleased to let you know that the Police have already caught the perpetrators. This is a warning to us all and brings home the importance of our pupils staying in groups when they are out in the local parks and keeping any items of value, such as mobile phones, out of sight as much as possible. Ms J Longhurst Sixth Form Open Evening - Tuesday 25 June Our first Sixth Form Open Evening will be taking place on Tuesday 25 June from 6:00pm until 8:30pm. The evening will be an opportunity for pupils currently in Year 10 to find out about the subjects and opportunities that will be available in our Sixth Form when it opens in September 2014. There will be formal presentations from Ms Ball (Headteacher Designate) and from me, Assistant Headteacher, Head of Sixth Form, as well as the opportunity to attend a range of rolling subject presentations about our A-Level, BTEC and diploma courses throughout the evening. Further details about the evening will be available soon. We look forward to welcoming Year 10 pupils and their parents/carers on the evening and helping them make their choices for life in our new Sixth Form. Please keep this evening as a date in your diary! Mr D Cowling Assistant Headteacher, Head of Orleans Park Sixth Form OPSA COLUMN COULD YOU BE OPSA's NEW SECRETARY? After five years as a linchpin of OPSA, our secretary, Jenny Welch, will soon no longer be an Orleans parent – so we are looking for someone to take on her role. The job involves taking minutes at six meetings a year, held on Mondays at 7:30pm at school, writing up the minutes, passing them to the Headteacher for amendments, and then distributing them to OPSA members. Along the way you get to socialise with very nice people and be one of the first to hear what is going on at school! Says Jenny: "This is not a difficult job and you could develop it as much as you wanted. I've really enjoyed it and it's good to be involved in OPSA, as the money raised all goes to help the current pupils at Orleans Park." Jenny's last meeting will be on 17 June, so ideally you would have a handover session then. Ready to take it on?

Some of the activities can be done by the children in the playground, some should be done in school time and there are also activities for the children to do at the weekends. The activities are varied and fun and there should be something for everyone, from the least to the most active. Feel free to do different activities to the ones in the calendar, the most important thing is that the children are active every day. Please encourage the children to use the calendar.

Encourage the children to do the activities that are both in and outside of school time and check with the children each day to see how they are getting on. You could give a certificate to any children that do ALL of the activities on the calendar, or talk about the children that have made the most progress with the activities and mention them in assemblies.

  • A11. the London Youth Games 2001
    A11 THE ROYAL BOROUGH OF KENSINGTON AND CHELSEA OVERVIEW AND SCRUTINY COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION, LIBRARIES AND ARTS – 25 SEPTEMBER 2001 REPORT BY THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR EDUCATION, LIBRARIES AND ARTS THE LONDON YOUTH GAMES 2001 This report highlights the success of young people at this year’s London Heathrow Youth Games which took place on Saturday 7 th and Sunday 8 th July 2001. It looks at the strategy adopted by the Sports Development Team to increase the level of individual and team performance in the games and provides targets for next year. FOR INFORMATION 1. BACKGROUND 1.1. At its meeting on 11 September 2000 the former Youth and Continuing Education Committee considered a report on the London Youth Games.

The Committee was advised that at a meeting of the Council on 19 July 2000 it was agreed to: ‘review current facilities with the aim of increasing the resources available to broaden our participation in the Youth Games next year and throughout this century.’ 1.3. The Sports Development Team subsequently undertook a full analysis of each sporting activity in the games. The analysis attempted to identify strengths and weaknesses, available resources and facilities and what action would need to be taken to significantly improve performance. 1.4. At its meeting on 30 October 2000, the Youth and Continuing Education Committee agreed targets for the London Heathrow Youth Games 2001.

  • PE Statement 2020 - 2021
    Primrose Hill Primary School PE Statement 2020 - 2021 Date: May 2020 Review: July 2021 1 Primrose Hill Primary School PE Premium Funding Statement 2019 - 20 The government is providing additional funding to improve the provision of physical education (PE) and sport in primary schools – this is allocated based on the number of children in Year 1 – 6. Last year the government once again allocated extra funds for the PE premium; this meant we have received two amounts - £8,129 & £11,404 totalling £19,533. The PE Premium funding is used to continually improve PE and Sport Provision across the school. Since the introduction of the PE premium in 2014 this has meant a huge success in raising attainment in PE and we will continue to build on our provision again this year. At Primrose Hill we already prioritise PE and sport in our budget to enhance children’s participation, involvement and attainment in PE; however, this additional sum contributes a significant amount for our school which so far has enabled us to develop the PE offer in our school. The PE premium contributes to the overall PE budget and in the financial year 2021 - 2021 will be spent in line with government recommendations for how to best utilise the funding: Provide existing staff with training or resources to help them teach PE and sport more effectively: ● A full time dedicated PE Teacher and PE teaching assistant, at HLTA level, to support the expansion of the PE provision ● We continue to invest in new equipment and resources in order to introduce new sports to our children
