It is a day for everyone to reflect, commemorate and remember the millions of people who were killed or whose lives were affected by the Holocaust. A group of Year 9 girls took part in a Holocaust commemoration event at Kingsfold Library on Wednesday 23rd January. Students listened intently to an engaging presentation by Judith Rhodes, the daughter of Ursula Michel, a refugee who came from Nazi Germany to England in 1939 on one of the last Kindertransports. She explained how the Jewish community were persecuted under the Nazi regime and its impact and legacy on Jewish lives today. The girls gained a unique insight into the Holocaust and asked many thoughtful questions. All students involved were extremely well behaved and represented the school superbly. If you would like to learn about Judith and her story please watch this youtube clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l92-HALfFBs.

Mr Bowles Head of Geography Charity Update We were proud to present the Royal British Legion with a cheque for £627.45 on Thursday 7th February. We raised this money for The Royal British Legion from our Remembrance Concert in November. We would like to thank all our parents, staff and governors who took the time to attend the concert and support the girls in a truly poignant evening. 4 Weekly Newsletter Friday 8th February 2019 On Thursday 24th and Thursday 31st of January, groups of Year 7 students participated in a maths workshop. This allowed us to show off our mathematical skills we had learnt over the past 5 months. We started by understanding the help that ‘Explore Learning’ would provide us. Our task was to use the shapes shown on the interactive whiteboard and place them in a restricted area of a 6cm by 10cm rectangle. This task proved a challenge for every student who took part. Only a few students successfully completed the challenge, placing all 12 shapes into the restricted area. ‘Explore Learning’ helped us along the way, showing us different techniques we could have used. Thank you ‘Explore Learning’ for a fantastic, challenging afternoon.

Mathematics. 5 Weekly Newsletter Friday 8th February 2019 Primary Mathematics Geometry Workshop Friday 25th January 2019 On a wet and windy Friday, a class of Year 6 pupils from Ashbridge School came into PGHS to take part in a Geometry Workshop. The pupils were shown how to use paper folding to create perfect approximations of an equilateral triangle, an isosceles triangle, and a kite. Once this was mastered, they had to combine the shapes together in as many different ways as possible and try to use their knowledge of angles to calculate the interior angles of each shape. To make this more challenging there were no protractors in the room, pupils had to carefully consider the need to make a number of copies of each shape and compare how they would fit together. As a final challenge the pupils were given the opportunity to create their own patterns using the shapes made. Each group was able to create their own unique and interesting patterns, some examples of which can be seen in the pictures below. Overall, an enjoyable morning was had by all. The only complaint was that students said they wanted to stay for longer and create more patterns for themselves! Thanks to my able assistants from Year 8, Laura, Abby, Lauren, Ellie, Sofia, Carla, Khadija and Charlotte who provided advice, guidance and a calming presence throughout. They did themselves and the school proud, with their encouragement and guidance. Mr Cheal Mathematics Department 6 Weekly Newsletter Friday 8th February 2019 United Kingdom Mathematics Trust - Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2019 At the time of writing, our Year 9 and 10 students have just sat the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Intermediate Mathematical Challenge 2019. This always presents an enjoyable opportunity to challenge our students with higher order mathematical problems, and promotes a wider range of skills that will be useful in later life. Students involved have spent some time recently in lessons looking at the challenge questions from previous years and attempting to work through them, sometimes even successfully! As usual the students approached the challenge with an infectious enthusiasm and gave their best efforts to achieve a Bronze, Silver or Gold award. The department looks forward to receiving this year results and would like to congratulate all students who took part. The Year 7 and 8 students will take part in the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust Junior Mathematical Challenge 2019 later in the year. Again, the department looks forward to preparing for this and another set of successful results.

  • 5. Network Planning for Walking
    Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5. Network Planning for Walking The future walking network has been derived through identifying those areas which would benefit from creating a sustainable link between trip origins and trip destinations within a reasonable walking distance of approximately 2km. Trip origins predominantly include densely populated residential areas and trip destinations include educational, employment and retail areas which are likely to attract a significant number of trips. As part of this process, funnel routes have been identified which incorporate the route which most pedestrians will follow to access a particular destination, however given the diverse nature of pedestrian movements, the routes do not extend into particular destinations since the route of each individual user will vary depending on their individual trip origin/end. In alignment with LCWIP guidance, Core Walking Zones have also been identified from identifying the area within each town which encompasses the greatest amount of trip attractors and therefore likely the generate the greatest levels of walking. The Four Core Walking Zones (CWZ) identified are: • Preston CWZ; • Lostock Hall CWZ; • Leyland CWZ; and • Chorley CWZ. 41 Central Lancashire Walking and Cycling Delivery Plan 5.1 Proposed Walking Routes 5.1.1 Preston Core Walking Zone Figure 5-1 Preston CWZ / Funnel Routes The Preston CWZ proposals will improve facilities for both pedestrians and cyclists alike, making it safer and easier to access Preston inner city centre, UCLAN, Cardinal Newman College, and transport hubs such as Preston Railway and Bus Stations. Measures predominantly involve pedestrian priority / informal streets, to improve the safety and accessibility of the town centre for pedestrians.

  • PROUD Balshaw's CE High School Parent and Leyland-Based
    PROUD Balshaw's CE High School parent and Leyland-based freelance writer Malcolm Wyatt was invited along to help advise the teams and judge the projects at July 11's South Ribble area AGT event. Here's what he made of the challenge. I DON'T think I'm talking out of turn when I let on that my fellow judge at the Balshaw's-hosted year seven and eight able, gifted and talented (AGT) day confided - as our big announcement loomed - this was the hardest decision she'd ever had to make. Nicola Moulden, an English teacher at Runshaw College, and myself were about to reveal - doing our best to avoid any unnecessary X Factor/Apprentice style build-up - the winners of the spring term's Super Learning event. There were two teams from Balshaw's alone, plus similarly fantastic groups representing Hutton Grammar School, Lostock Hall Academy, and Leyland’s St Mary's Catholic Technology College and Worden Sports College. And believe me, it was no easy task to pick a winner. The level of competition was amazing, and each school involved can be rightly proud of the pupils that represented them, for their courtesy as well as their creative endeavours. The idea, devised by Balshaw's head of English, Mr Purnell, was to write an 800 to 1,000 word story aimed at six to seven-year-old boys and girls, about a family day-trip to a theme park. On the journey there is a problem, and at the park a child goes missing. The teams were also asked to design a front and back cover and poster to advertise the book, and produce a script for a radio advert.

Clare Russell Principal & CEO The changes in the world around us and the direct and indirect impact this is having on society and the College means it was right and proper for us to re-look at the way we build our strategic plans and ensure we had a strategy fit for purpose and the future of the local environment and all our stakeholders.
