2019-20 Term 3 News, Events and Updates at Chatham Grammar A Royal Visit on the Horizon for DofE Just when you think DofE at UKAT can’t get much better, ‘IT DOES!’. After a record-breaking year for registrations, and probably our best year for expedition training, we have received an invitation for some of our students and staff to represent the University of Kent Academies Trust at an event at Cobham Hall School, which will be visited by His Royal Highness The Earl of Wessex. This event is a great opportunity to promote and celebrate the success of the DofE at Chatham Grammar. The format of the event will involve participants showcasing how DofE is run at Chatham Grammar, with either a stand or demonstration about their expeditions or physical activities. As well as showing what our students are doing in their programmes, the event will also illustrate the breadth of activities on offer as part of the DofE across Kent and Medway. On the same day His Royal Highness, The Earl of Wessex, will be hosting a fundraising dinner in the evening at Hever Castle, and we are very excited that one of our UKAT Sixth Form students, Isobel, has been asked to sing a couple of songs at the event. Event planners advised Isobel that she “came highly recommended” after her performance at the DofE Awards Ceremony last year held at Rochester Cathedral. Isobel will also get the chance to meet His Royal Highness at a drinks reception before the dinner. We are so proud of all of our students and this amazing opportunity that they have been given. More information will be in our next newsletter. So much more is happening behind the scenes, such as, Silver students starting their training, staff meetings, professional training and team building. We are also planning for last year’s winners to collect their awards at a ceremony held in May, and of course more expeditions starting in March. For more information and dates for the diary please go to our website www.chathamgrammar.org.uk or you can email the DofE team at [email protected]. 1 2019-20 Term 3 Chatham Grammar’s Musical Celebrations Last term Chatham Grammar and the UKAT Sixth Form held a fabulous Music Concert at St Augustine’s Church. The concert was a wonderful musical celebration of the hard work that had taken place in class as well as extra-curricular activities. There was a sensational variety of Christmas-themed music, with performances from the Choir, Orchestra, Bands, Ensemble and Solo Performances. The concert looked and sounded fantastic, thanks to Josh Pounds and his amazing lighting and sound abilities. Thanks also to Antony Lane for the perfect venue and his generous hospitality. The event was very well received by parents/carers, and our students did exceptionally well - some performing for the very first time! We are already looking forward to this year’s event. 2 2019-20 Term 3 Chatham Grammar - An Award Winning Team This term we took three Green Team students to the Ashford International Hotel for the KM Charity Green Schools Award ceremony. They had been nominated for their work in recycling. The ceremony was likened to the Oscars by the Director of Public Health for Medway, James Williams. Perhaps the school uniforms didn’t quite meet the same level of the glitz and glamour of the Oscars dresses, but it was just as important a ceremony for the students involved. Our students presented an excellent video they had produced about their work in the Academy and looked very smart when they accepted the award. Kent Messenger interviewed and photographed our students with the sponsors, and with the other Medway schools, most of which were primaries. It was fantastic to see Chatham Grammar students recognised for all their hard work amongst schools from different regions of Kent. It has to be said that achieving the overall award was totally unexpected. We were absolutely delighted when Chatham Grammar was announced as Overall Recycling Champions for Kent and Medway! The Geography Department are so proud of the work the Green Team put in each week. Congratulations and well done. 3 2019-20 Term 3 Brilliant Theatre Trip to School of Rock Year 9 –13 Music students from Chatham Grammar and Brompton Academy took a trip to the Gillian Lynne Theatre, Drury Lane last term to see Andrew Lloyd Webber’s critically acclaimed musical School of Rock. The new musical, based on the 2003 renowned film with the same name starring Jack Black, is about an aspiring musician who poses as a supply teacher and forms a rock band with the prep school’s young students. The musical, which contained fourteen new songs from Andrew Lloyd Webber, showcased the talented cast’s skills as they delighted the audience with their energetic performance. It was announced that the younger cast members (whose ages ranged from 8-11 years old) were all playing their own instruments and singing the show’s songs. Students commented after the show that they thoroughly enjoyed the performance and appreciated the learning experience. 4 2019-20 Term 3 Outstanding Success at Athletics Chatham Grammar’s Athletic Teams achieved outstanding success at the indoor athletic this term. Last term some of our Year 7 and 8 students competed in the Medway Sports Hall Athletics competition, at the Howard School. They were well prepared following numerous training sessions and were very focused on achieving their very best. A number of the students achieved 1st or 2nd in their events which resulted in us achieving 1st place overall out of eleven schools. They all performed amazingly well and we are proud of their achievements. Following on from their Medway success, in February Chatham Grammar competed in the Kent Finals at Medway Park. Exhibiting such a high level of athletic prowess enabled our teams to reach an exceptionally high level of performance in this event. Our dream team Year 8 were triumphant, and climbed the podium to accept 2nd place out of fourteen schools - making them the second best indoor athletic champions across the whole of Kent! The Year 7 team were invited to participate at the last minute so we had to form a team very quickly. However, the ongoing commitment and dedication to athletic practices certainly paid off. Despite the lack of competition preparation, and thanks to their determination and focus, our Year 7 competitors performed at a very high standard and achieved 5th out of fourteen schools. A massive well done to all who took part. 5 2019-20 Term 3 Chatham Grammar Named as a National Citizen Service Champion School for 2019 We are delighted to announce our Academy has just been confirmed as a National Citizen Service Champion School for 2019. A Bronze award means 30% of our eligible students (Years 11 and 12) signed up, amazing! Next stop Silver 40% and Gold 50%. There are a variety of projects in the summer break. Find out more below: A YOUTH PROGRAMME LIKE NO OTHER Designed especially for 16 and 17 year olds, the NCS experience will give you a clearer idea of what you want from your future.

Students have been working through the ‘Couch to 5k’ app and improving their running skills each week. This has proven to be a very popular club and we are looking forward to seeing students running to the finish line on the day. Details of how you can sponsor our team will follow shortly. 7 2019-20 Term 3 English Students Visit the British Library Year 9 English students were given the opportunity to visit the fabulous British Library in January. We caught the train to London and met up with our University of Kent ambassadors, who had organised the trip. The students were given a fantastic talk about the Women’s Liberation Movement, and we learned all about the politics and events of that period in feminist history. The students were given tasks to read over old newspaper articles and texts from that era, analysing the language. It was really informative, and the students took a lot away from it. From there, the students had the opportunity to explore the library. We learned that the building possesses over 700km of shelving and millions of books. Students had the chance to have a look through the British Library’s treasure exhibition, which had displays of books, maps and scrolls that were hundreds of years old and from all across the world.

    News, Events and Updates at Brompton Academy CCF Brave the Elements for Bushcraft Day

    2018-19 Term 3 News, Events and Updates at Brompton Academy CCF Brave the Elements for Bushcraft Day It was a freezing Saturday in mid-January, but thankfully the cadets were wrapped up warm and excited about the day ahead. Our bushcraft instructor was waiting for the cadets so he could introduce them to basic bushcraft skills, which included fire starting and shelter building. Fortunately, for the rest of the hard-working staff, Ms Knight and Ms Hipkiss set the perfect standard in providing constant cups of coffee and hot chocolate. They even managed to rustle up some baked potatoes, amazing what you can find in the woods! After building a fire from scratch using the natural environment, a flint and cotton wool, the cadets were soon feeling warm under the canopy of the pine trees. After the mini lessons it was the turn of the cadets to confirm their skills by building a large fire and cooking their dinner in a shelter big enough for their team to live and survive in. The results were outstanding, all the cadets managed to contribute toward collecting fire wood, cutting wood to build the frame and gathering the roofing material to clad their shelter. We had a competition for the best shelter and as you can see the results were very impressive. 1 2018-19 Term 3 A Fascinating Forensic Science Day at The University of Kent Our Year 12 and 13 Criminology classes were invited to visit the University of Kent’s Physical Science department by Robert Green MBE to take part in Forensic Science Day.

    Issue 18 Spring 2014

    Issue 18 Spring 2014 WELCOME. Welcome to the HSSP spring newsletter for 2014 – a rather wet one! A belated Happy New Sporting Year to yourselves and your pupils and parents. Many thanks for your school and pupils continued support of P.E. and School Sport in 2013 and of the many teacher training programmes, coaching, volunteering, playing and competitive opportunities we offer your schools. Our primaries are currently delighted with the news that the government has extended the grant offer of the Primary P.E. Premium funding until to summer 2016, (initially it was for 2 years only). So this ring fenced funding £9000 approx. per academic year for every Primary School, and an Ofsted priority, will last for 3 academic years. Furthermore, the current government have promised, to further extend this same amount every year for every Primary School until 2020 as part of the Olympic legacy, if they get elected. The HSSP staff are busy visiting many primary schools offering advice and support to Head Teachers and P.E. Co-ordinators on how to action plan and improve: their P.E. curriculum and quality of teaching and learning for staff and pupils, the health and physical activity levels of less active pupils and sports club and competition opportunities for all pupils. We have 39 out of a possible 45 schools signed up to our services this year and we plan to continue our school sport services for primaries in the future. We are currently reviewing our pricing structure to ensure that we can continue to exist financially beyond summer 2016, as we receive no government funding to help contribute towards the salaries of SSCo’s.

    Mentor Development Programme

    CANTERBURY CHRIST CHURCH UNIVERSITY MENTOR DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME 2016 - 17 Our new Mentor Development Programme (MDP) has a strong focus on the leadership and management skills required to develop professional learning in other adults more broadly. The programme has been designed by the School of Teacher Education and Development with support of key colleagues in partner schools. MDP is centred on the skills and abilities needed to be able to support student teachers to have the greatest positive impact on pupils in our schools, and to support the retention of new teachers in the profession by preparing them to be more independent and resilient in their practice. It offers school mentors the opportunity to reflect on the diversity and transferability of the mentors’ skills in and beyond ITE. There are five sessions that will appeal to all levels of experience, each session will be run in various geographic locations throughout the year to ensure that school mentors can access local provision and build local networks. The sessions run consecutively but are also stand-alone, and they are skill focused rather than process driven. All sessions provide opportunities for school colleagues to meet the standards on the Partnership Evaluation Framework (PEF). All sessions are mapped to the National Standards for school-based initial teacher training (ITT) mentors (July 2016).

    LBP0018 Written evidence submitted by The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium Education Select Committee Left behind white pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds Inquiry SUBMISSION FROM THE NORTHERN POWERHOUSE EDUCATION CONSORTIUM Introduction and summary of recommendations Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium are a group of organisations with focus on education and disadvantage campaigning in the North of England, including SHINE, Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) and Tutor Trust. This is a joint submission to the inquiry, acting together as ‘The Northern Powerhouse Education Consortium’. We make the case that ethnicity is a major factor in the long term disadvantage gap, in particular white working class girls and boys. These issues are highly concentrated in left behind towns and the most deprived communities across the North of England. In the submission, we recommend strong actions for Government in particular: o New smart Opportunity Areas across the North of England. o An Emergency Pupil Premium distribution arrangement for 2020-21, including reform to better tackle long-term disadvantage. o A Catch-up Premium for the return to school. o Support to Northern Universities to provide additional temporary capacity for tutoring, including a key role for recent graduates and students to take part in accredited training. About the Organisations in our consortium SHINE (Support and Help IN Education) are a charity based in Leeds that help to raise the attainment of disadvantaged children across the Northern Powerhouse. Trustees include Lord Jim O’Neill, also a co-founder of SHINE, and Raksha Pattni. The Northern Powerhouse Partnership’s Education Committee works as part of the Northern Powerhouse Partnership (NPP) focusing on the Education and Skills agenda in the North of England.
