REDHILL REVIEW July 2019 theRedhillAcademy newsletter July 2019 Message from the Principal Dear Parents As we come to the end of another academic year at Redhill, I am struck with the wide range of experiences our students and staff have been involved in. As well as the great sporting and performing arts opportunities, students here took part in debating competitions, trips to France, Portugal, Germany, Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, a visit to Auschwitz and the Belgium battlefields, and just last week, twenty of our students had a fantastic day at No. 10 Downing Street – see Mr Matthews’ article in this review. I’d particularly like to thank the tireless staff who organised and led all these activities which are so important for the development of our students. During this term, our Year 11 and Year 13 students completed their final examinations. If hard work and commitment are any indication, I’m sure that they will have achieved some great results when they open their envelopes in August. A Levels results day is Thursday 15th August, with GCSEs available on Thursday 22nd August. Many of you may have seen in the press that Ofsted are altering their approach to inspecting schools, with a greater emphasis on the curriculum. They seem to be taking the view that a three year Key Stage 4 (GCSE studies) is not their preferred model. As Redhill operates this system, this has given us food for thought. However, we do not want to make any decisions about altering this without consultation with yourselves as parents. Therefore, we will be carrying out a consultation exercise involving governors, parents, students and teachers early next year, and will share the results of this consultation with you. Finally, may I take this opportunity to thank you for your continued support of the school and our staff. As always, it is much appreciated, and I hope you find the time to have a relaxing break over the summer. Mr A Burns - Trust Principal www.theredhillacademy.org.uk www.twitter.com/redhillacademy [email protected] Twenty to Ten In the early hours of Friday 12th July (4am to be precise!) twenty students from Years 10, 11 and 12 set off by coach for a visit to Number Ten Downing Street. The opportunity was created by Alex Burns who works in the civil service as the education policy adviser to the Prime Minister. After the security checks the group found themselves outside the famous door where the obligatory photo shoot took place. We also met Larry the ‘Chief Mouse Catcher’ though there was no sign of his arch rival, Palmerston the Foreign Office cat. On entry to Number 10, all of our devices were handed in and we were given a guided tour. The route varied at times as Theresa May was in the House about to be interviewed by Laura Kuenssberg for the BBC. However, we saw the Cabinet Room with its set of double doors so that no one can eavesdrop from outside. We also ascended the famous staircase (as seen in ‘Love Actually’) with the portraits and photos of all the Prime Ministers from Robert Walpole to David Cameron. On the tour, Alex told stories about the house such as how John Major suggested they carry on the meeting in another room after a bomb shattered the window of the Cabinet Room. We were also shown the six small wooden bees that Tony Blair had attached to bookcases representing the 6 members of his family who had lived in the House. As part of the tour there was a Question and Answer session with a group of civil servants. The students also had to create a brief for a civil servant in the role of the Prime Minister on how to ensure people live healthier lives. The students shared a series of excellent ideas and were complimented on the quality of their advice by the civil servants. At the end of the tour and activities we were back in the street again for our group picture and then made our way through the ‘Westminster Village’ to our coach. It was an incredible day that will live in our memories for ever. I would also like to think that one day there will be former Redhill students working in Number Ten as civil servants or maybe even as Prime Minister! Mr N Matthews – Head of School Battlefield trip to Belgium One of the most iconic Redhill trips is the visit to the First World War Battlefields. This trip never fails to impress the Year 9 History students that go. On Friday the 14th June, we set off with our minds full of wonder and excitement over what was to come. The greeting by our amazing coach driver, Ken, started off the very interesting journey to our awaiting destination. When we finally got there, we were amazed at the beautiful Peace Village where we were staying. The next couple of days were filled with so many activities and places to go. We saw countless memorials to the lost and dead from WW1, even visiting the graves of students’ relatives and finding graves of soldiers who died not much older than us. For example, V.J.Strudwick who died on the 14th January 1916 at just 15 years of age. We all enjoyed the free time in Ypres which was followed by a visit to the stunning Menin Gate where the walls of the memorial are lined by the names of the dead with no known grave. We also heard the moving performance of the Last Post here. We saw giant craters, the stunning resting place of 11,900 British soldiers at Tyne Cot (cemetery), real trenches, museums and heard moving stories of brave soldiers. It was an influential trip that allowed the Year 9s to understand much more of what the young men, not much older than us, had to go through. We learnt everyone had a story and we were lucky enough to hear just a few of them. The Belgium trip is surely a trip to remember. Jasmine Greener – Year 9 student Trip to Berlin A small group of Sixth Formers and Year 11 German students spent last week in Berlin accompanying the Carlton Academy to the German capital. To support our A level German course, we covered miles of central Berlin; starting with a tour by boat and visiting during the week the Reichstag, the DDR Museum, the German Spy Museum, the Berlin Wall Memorial, Memorial to the murdered Jews, the Topography of Terror on the site of the former Gestapo headquarters, the Hamburger Bahnhof Contemporary Art Museum, Alexanderplatz, Museumsinsel and the TV tower with astonishing views across Berlin. As well as soaking up the atmosphere and practising our German, it was a fantastically varied and rich experience of the German capital’s past and present. Mrs L Marciani – Teacher MFL Trip to Space Centre, Leicster On Monday 24th June, we took a group of 68 students to the National Space Centre. Throughout the day, the students experienced a rocket launch from inside the body of an astronaut in the planetarium and completed a ‘comet trail’ using the information around the centre. The most exciting part of the day was when the groups took part in a mission to ‘Rendez-Vous with a comet’. The aim was to build, and then launch a probe to rendezvous with an unknown object that may be a threat to Earth. The students demonstrated fantastic teamwork skills to resolve all the problems that were thrown at them, and were able to successfully complete the mission! All students were brilliant and a great day was had by all. Miss C Blackburn Year 12 Loughborough University Trip 2019 The trip started with a tour of the modern, high tech, 437 acre campus. The undergraduate tour guides were helpful and clearly had enthusiasm for their university. The trip however wasn’t just an advertisement for Loughborough; the advice they gave was invaluable as it covered aspects of university life that are often overlooked such as managing loans, time and work. From a student’s perspective, I think the trip was overall a massive success at helping us prepare for the upcoming change from A-level study to degree level education. Bailey Smith - Year 12 student End of year Prom 2019 On Friday 28th June Year 11 had their end of year prom at Goosedale – this was a new venue for the Year 11 Prom but the facilities and staff were excellent and it added to a superb evening. Having arrived in all their finery and a variety of vehicles (including a helicopter!) the students sat down to a slap up meal. Next, the various awards were presented and then the students (and some staff) danced the night away, with some interesting dance moves all round. The Year 11s looked fantastic, were a credit to the academy and enjoyed a fitting send off to their five years at Redhill. Mr R Britton – Head of House Update your contact details In your own interest please provide school with your up-to-date contact details. In order for school to be able to contact you in an emergency and for other important matters we need your correct address, phone number, first and second contact person and email address. Please inform school as soon as possible when any of these contact details change. Summer Trust Games On Thursday 4th July eight Trust schools gathered at Tupton Hall to compete in the summer Trust Games for KS3 students. The afternoon saw students experience a range of activities such as Concept Rowing, Quad athletics, Rounders and Tug of War.
