Test Valley School Newsletter Test Valley School Newsletter December 2012 Christmas Card design by Callum Wright 7N Follow us on Facebook and Twitter Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/testvalleysch Twitter: @testvalleysch Dear Parents As I write the Autumn Term is drawing to a close and we are looking forward to the Christmas holidays in a few days’ time. This edition of our newsletter celebrates many of the activities, events and opportunities our pupils and staff have been involved in over the Autumn Term. I hope you will agree that it highlights the range of activities in and out of the classroom our pupils are able to participate in, enjoy and gain so much from as part of their learning experience at Test Valley School. Only this week I had the pleasure of announcing the winners of the highest number of achievement points in each tutor group and awarding the ‘golden tickets’ to the pupil in each year group with the most points overall. There are always a range of extra-curricular activities pupils can join in at lunchtimes and after school and, in response to parents’ requests, we are currently collating these to publish on the website and Moodle for parents and pupils to find out more about what they can participate in during the Spring Term. We were delighted to welcome Wendy Morrish (former headteacher at Test Valley School) back to our Annual Presentation Evening as guest of honour in November. This event celebrates the achievements of the Year 11 pupils who left us this year and Miss Morrish would have known many of them when they started at the school five years ago. It was lovely to see so many return again to be all together one final time and to celebrate all of their achievements with us. As always we were joined by many staff, parents and award sponsors for this event and we are indebted to the support year after year of those local organisations, individuals and groups that sponsor our numerous subject and personal achievement awards. Ensuring all of our pupils are making progress remains our key priority and we continue to closely monitor and review our practice in order to support this. We have also found your responses to our parental questionnaires at year group events very helpful feedback on how we are working to ensure your child’s progress and working in partnership with you. I have also enjoyed the opportunity to meet more informally with a number of you at my half- termly coffee mornings and through the ‘re-launched’ PTA which continues to go from strength to strength. We hope you enjoy reading our latest newsletter and look forward to what 2013 brings. L Hiscock Headteacher Governors’ Update Christmas 2012 The school Governors would like to wish all concerned with the school: pupils, parents and staff a very happy Christmas. This term we have had some very positive views from parents when we met them during the various parents’ evenings, open mornings and at the annual presentation evening. These positive views are shared by the governing body who believe that Test Valley School is a good school which can still improve further. It is the Governors’ role to challenge and support the school in this direction. In doing this we are agreed that the ethos of the school must not be sacrificed. During the open mornings it was a great pleasure to see pupils proud of their school and proud to show it off to prospective parents. This behaviour is not limited to open mornings, when I visit the school I am always impressed by the happy and friendly atmosphere it exudes and the headteacher and staff must be given great credit for creating and maintaining such a good learning environment. However, the Governors will be facing difficult decisions in the coming term with the funding for the school expected to be cut in the future. This is a challenge being faced by many schools due to the new government strategy for how schools will be funded from April and will have a disproportionate effect on small rural comprehensives like ours. The governors will have to consider very carefully any recommendations which come from the Headteacher and her team. As you are probably aware our good reputation enables us to draw a large number of our pupils from out of catchment and any decisions will be taken with this good reputation at the forefront of our deliberations. We are looking forward to the new year and the challenges it brings and will endeavour to ensure that the school emerges from these an even better school. John Smith Chair of Governors December 100 Club Winners 1st Prize — £25 Mrs Crago 2nd Prize — £10 Mrs Haydock 3rd Prize — £5 Mrs Butt Test Valley School P.T.A PTA Newsletter Congratulations! We are delighted to announce that the lucky winners of our very first 100Club lottery draw are: 1st – Mrs Crago wins £25.00 2nd – Mrs Haydock wins £10.00 3rd – Mrs Butt wins £5.00 Any other parents who have not yet bought stakes in this fabulous PTA fundraiser can still do so at a cost of £12 per annum, by completing the form on the website. www.testvalley.hants.sch.uk then follow the link to PTA. You can also catch up on all of our letters and general information here too! Thanks Thank you to all who supported the raffle on Presentation Evening and Aspire evening by donating hamper items, or by buying tickets. You helped us raise £347. Chickens It’s all very well making money, but it has to be spent too. We asked Year 11 pupils to propose worthy projects (A new house for the chickens, a bench or money towards a new drinking water machine). Those of you who bought raffle tickets cast your votes, and the chickens won comfortably! We will endeavour to get this underway as soon as possible. Greater Goals Ideas are invited for investing in something more substantial to enhance the school. Would a swimming pool heater/cover be popular? Some specific science, sports or music equipment perhaps? Do send in your ideas. Next Term: We aim to put on a fashion show at the end of the Easter term. If your son or daughter fancies their turn on the catwalk, please let their tutors know. We need to have a good variety of High Street fashions shown, and would need boys and girls to model them – maybe even a teacher or two! 6th February 2013, 6pm-7pm, Room 2 Our next PTA meeting. We wish all our families a merry Christmas, and hope that more of you will get involved next term! Duke of Edinburgh’s Award Pictured from left to right are: Toby Brown, Eddie Latter, Charlie Darbyshire, Oliver Parry, George Allen, Jordan Gray, Ryan Griffiths, Archie McMaster 71 pupils from our current Year 10, just about 50% of the year group, took part in a day walk as part of their Duke of Edinburgh’s Award training on Saturday 17th November. It was a local walk over the Downs of Broughton covering a distance of 12 kilometres up hill and down dale and through the mud, carrying a semi loaded rucksack to give our new candidates a taste of what is to come. All week leading up to the Saturday the weather threatened to pour on us, but on the day it smiled nicely and held back. This day out not only provided stamina training to ensure each can be individually challenged appropriately come their assessed expedition, but it also gave us the opportunity to teach and assess the navigational abilities of the members of each team. Reports suggested that everyone enjoyed the challenge and some pupils even talked about going for walks more often in their own time. This was a great day out and I would like to thank the twelve adults, staff and trainers, who gave up their time to ensure all these pupils were able to undergo this experience. Mr S. Langdown Work Related Learning College Visits On Tuesday 4th December 2012 I was lucky enough to go out and see some of our pupils out on their College Courses. The work they were doing and the feedback I was getting from tutors was all very impressive. The atmosphere and attitude towards learning was positive. I was very happy to see our pupils excelling in this environment and would like to share with you some of the action shots taken on the day. Mr L.

Since September a number of pupils from Years 9, 10 and 11 have formed a Pupil Rights Committee with the aim of promoting pupil rights across the school. We are hoping to train these pupils up to become peer educators to teach fellow pupils about their rights and responsibilities. A staff improvement group has also been formed to consider how to make the Convention of Rights for the Child inherent in everything we do in school. From January we are hoping to run a competition for Key Stage 3 pupils based on one aspect of human rights and have three extra notice boards around the school displaying works relating to the Rights Respecting School Award.
