Year 7 Residential 1 Newsletter: Issue 7 October 2017 Year 7 Residential Year 7 students have now successfully completed their first residential at Bideford College. The 3 day trip to Dartmoor Training Centre was both challenging and rewarding. We encouraged students to step out of their comfort zone and experi- ence learning outside the class room. Students developed the skills required and the expectations at Bideford College. They have also developed positive relationships with other students and staff within their House which will last throughout their time at Bideford College. Mrs Vowles. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 2 Lyndsey Kane - Principal I cannot believe that we are already at the end of the first half term of the academic year 2017-2018. The 7 weeks have flown by and so very much has been achieved in them. We came back from the summer break celebrating our best ever examination results at both GCSE and A Level at Bideford College. As I said then, in my press release, this was just the “tip of the iceberg” in the future achievements of the staff and students of Bideford College. The term started with a reiteration of the high standards and expectations of all at Bideford College and we have all been working really hard from the very first day – to surpass the wonderful achievements of the students last year and make sure that every young person who attends Bideford College is the very best that they can be. We wel- comed a wonderful group of Year 7 students and I am privileged to spend most days hearing about what they have been up to, as we chat in the corridors. The Year 11s and Year 13s have started this most important year with a positive attitude and are displaying a determination to be successful and do their very best. Revision timetables are being produced as I write this and the revision sessions will commence after half term – so that the students are as well prepared as possible for the exams in the summer term. In addition, students from all year groups are busy rehearsing for the College Production of Beauty and the Beast which takes place on 30th November and 1st Decem- ber – we look forward to welcoming you to this magnificent performance. We would not be able to make the progress we are making at the College without the continued support of par- ents and I would like to reiterate my thanks for this. We will be holding a “Parent Support Evening” shortly for parents of Year 11 students – to give guidance to parents as to how they can support their child with their GCSE exams and preparation. Invitations will go out for this evening soon. Attendance of some students is still a cause for concern sadly, and I would like to strenuously urge parents to en- sure that they make sure their children are in College, unless it is absolutely unavoidable. Mr Bonaparte, our Attendance Officer is working really hard with parents and students to improve attendance so that all students are able to achieve their very best. Please help us to help your child to be the best they can be. I would also like to re- mind parents that no holidays are authorised in term time. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a restful half term and look forward to welcoming all the stu- dents back on Tuesday 31st October. (Note: Monday 30th is an INSET day). Lyndsey www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 3 Year 7 Residential Residential Day 1 On day one we all met up in the sports hall where we all prepared for the trip there. At 9:30 AM we got on the bus and went to Dartmoor Training Centre. The trip there was really interesting as there was a lot of fascinating scenery such as rock pillars and lovely green hills. Once we got there we put all of our bags in the boot room and then went up for a talk about what we would be doing. We were also told what groups we would be in for all the activities over our time there. After the talks, we had our lunch. After lunch, we had 4 activities to do in our groups that would help us on our walk the next day. The activities consisted of four things; team building exercises, a short walk, a river crossing exercise and map reading skills. The House Captains ran the team building exercises together, we witnessed a lot of great team work and determination in each group. Afterwards, everyone came inside from the rain and had snacks and a drink. We then had short meeting and prepared for the walk the next day. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 4 Year 7 Residential On the second day everyone took part in an eight mile walk. The two tutors were split into two groups, each started walking onto Dartmoor at different times in the morning. The weather was dry so that put everybody into a positive mood before we began. The whole idea of the walk was about teamwork and helping each other. Throughout the day we saw many students help encourage those who were struggling and finding the activity more challenging. This made individuals have more confidence in themselves and to keep going. It was fascinating to see how the children became independent learners and solved problems on their own. As well as on residential, these types of ideas can also be employed within the classroom. Students learnt how to respect one another and that listening to everybody is a key aspect in working as a team, because that way no one feels left out. To add, as house captains it was a pleasant experience to learn about the students and meet new people from our house. After the walk, on the second day, everyone was exhausted but our spirits were still high. Even though we had been walking all day everyone still had a smile on their face. Also, there was a friendly atmosphere between everyone. As the evening went on the students were finishing off their presentations for the next day where that would be performing then to the rest of their year 7 peers. Additionally, all the year 7s were very helpful and after dinner helped wash up and dry up. Later on, we settled down with a hot chocolate and chatted about the day with each other and got to know each other even better. That night the tutors, heads of house and the house captains got to choose who we wanted to give our awards to. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 5 Breakfast Club Aldi Breakfast Club @ Bideford College Bideford College are delighted to announce that Aldi are now sponsoring a Breakfast Club in the Student Support Centre. Every morning students who, for a range of different reasons, are unable to get a good breakfast inside them at home, are invited to C34 to enjoy a range of breakfast goodies including cereal, toast, crumpets, fruit and yoghurts and a hot drink. Stu- dents are encouraged to sit down together and eat and also to share the washing up! Sam Lindsay, Store Operations area manager for Aldi said “Aldi Bideford are incredibly proud to be sponsoring the Bideford College Breakfast Club; helping students who need it most get their most important meal of the day!” Sam and the Bideford Store Manager Libby came into Bideford College to meet some of the House Captains who would be helping with Breakfast Club and Mr McNulty and Mrs Staddon who manage the Student Support Centre. Mrs Jewell, Assistant Principal at Bideford College (who also has a degree in Nutrition!) said “A good breakfast really does set the students up for a successful day at college. Breakfast restores glucose levels, an essential carbohydrate that is needed for the brain to function. Many studies have shown how eating breakfast can improve memory and concentration levels and it can also make us happier as it can improve mood and lower stress levels. In studies amongst children, breakfast can im- prove attainment, behaviour and has been linked to improved grades. We are committed to doing everything we can to en- sure students at Bideford College are happy, successful and responsible and if providing breakfast for students contributes to achieving this then it is what we will do.” Why is breakfast so important? Breakfast provides the body and brain with fuel after an overnight fast - that's where its name originates, breaking the fast! Without breakfast you are effectively running on empty, like trying to start the car with no petrol! Apart from providing us with energy, breakfast foods are good sources of important nutrients such as calcium, iron and B vitamins as well as protein and fibre. The body needs these essential nutrients and research shows that if these are missed at breakfast, they are less likely to be compensated for later in the day. Fruit and vegetables are good sources of vitamins and minerals so try to include a portion of your daily five at breakfast, whether that be a banana or glass of fruit juice. Breakfast can be good for waistline too, research shows those who eat breakfast are less likely to be overweight and more likely to be within their ideal weight range compared with breakfast skippers. If you skip breakfast, you're more likely to reach for high sugar and fatty snacks mid-morning. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 6 Attendance Regular attendance at school is vital to help children achieve and get the best possible start in life.

  • Newsletter 23 March 2018
    No. 585 w/c Mon 26 March 2018 will be Week B “When people are free to do as the please, they usually imitate each other.“ Eric Hoffer Dear Parents/Carers, Kirkland Rowell Parental Survey We have just had the results back, and will put a link to the full report via our website next week. There were 113 returns, which is much fewer than when we issued the survey on paper! The highlights are that overall parents consider the College “good”, although slightly down on 2017. 17% considered the College had improved over the last year. Read to Learn, Beliefs & Values and Course 42 were regarded as the best subjects. Away from subjects, parents are particularly happy with communication, moral values and building confidence. The top priorities for improvement are school facilities and quality of teaching and levels of homework. The survey approximates to Ofsted gradings, and everything is good except these “outstanding” matters: Read to Learn, Beliefs & Values, Course 42, ICT, Maths, English, School Communication, Developing Moral Values, Developing Confidence, Regular Marking of Work, and encouraging pupils’ activity in the community. The most major issues reported are diet and exercise; this is interesting, given the amount of PE and sport on offer, but clearly things we need to investigate further. Thank you very much indeed if you are among the 113! Year 10 Practice Exams Year 10 have been absolutely magnificent in their approach and attitude to their practice exams. They have been a real credit to themselves and to you as their parents/carers. Yes, they have two more days of exams to go, and yes, we don’t know yet how well they have done, but praise where it’s due! Deep Learning Day Monday’s snow caused one or two logistical issues for DLD, but it was a successful day.
