WHAT IS NCS? NCS provides the buzz of being an adult without the responsibility of being an adult. Over three weeks it gives teenagers a crash course in life skills that inspire them to feel independent. First up they’ll meet loads of new people and battle some outdoor adventures together. The next week they’ll be staying away from home and taking on challenges like cooking and public speaking. And finally they’ll get their entrepreneurial hats on to think up some ways to do good in their local area. After all of that (and a well-deserved party) they’ll be full to the brim of newfound skills, friends, excitement and motivation that stick with them for life. So whatever they want to do with their lives or whatever they want to change in the world, they can.

    Dear Parent/Carer As a community, we are continuing to work hard to successfully remove those obstacles that would otherwise threaten the positive impact we can have on your children, both now and in our plans for the future. I am so proud of what students and staff are achieving on a daily basis. The work that is being done both by the students and by the staff is, in my opinion, truly remarkable. I would like to thank you as parents for all that you are doing to support this work at this unprecedented time. I am very pleased to report that our first steps towards a wider physical re-opening of the school have been highly successful this week. As you are aware, we have welcomed back some year 10 and 12 students this week for some physical face-face contact. This physical re-opening has been based on social-distancing and hygiene control measures that have guided our decision-making. In the link below you can see, via a virtual tour, the social distancing and hygiene measures that we put in place for the small-scale return of some students and staff this week. The tour shows the complete one-way route through the school and then each of the rooms being used for Year 10. If you are looking at the entire building via the overhead dolls house view you can then tap anywhere inside the building whether that be a corridor or on the classroom and it will then take you to that position. Go to virtual tour Our attention to detail with regard to social distancing and hygiene measures was praised within an article in the Ipswich Star last week, which can be seen in the link below.

Organised by Teaching Assistant Mr David, around 200 people turned out to see the Year 11 side just clinch the deal with a 3-2 victory over the Year 10s. Between entry tickets and sales from the raffle prize draw, just over £750 was raised from the evening which will be sent to the Teenage Cancer Trust charity. The match is held annually in memory of former Benjamin Britten student Rory Davies who passed away aged 15 in March 2011. Since then, the boys’ football teams have raised over £6000 for the Teenage Cancer Trust. “I felt very honoured to play for the team and represent the school on such an important and successful evening.” -Will Riley, Year 11 The Year 11 Boys Team The Year 10 Boys Team Benjamin Britten Academy of Music and Mathematics Blyford Road Lowestoft Suffolk NR32 4PZ Telephone: 01502 582312 Year Group News Year 7 Congratulations to those Year 7 students who have received awards for reaching the following credit milestones: Name Form Credits Name Form Credits Ebony Thorogood 7JG 150 Kate Harris 7JG 75 Mohammed Abdelsalam 7NC 75 Faith Harrod 7AS 75 Lily Barnes 7JG 75 Jade Hickinbotham 7NC 75 Jacob Brown 7NC 75 Hailie Hutchinson 7NC 75 Alyssia Bullard 7AS 75 Mya Janes

We have used the latest data available at the time of publication. Much more data is available from national and local sources than is captured here, but it is hoped that the profile will be a useful starting point for discussion, where local knowledge and experience can be used to flesh out and illuminate the information presented here. The profile can be used to help look at some fundamental questions e.g. Does the age profile of the population match or differ from the national profile? . Is there evidence of the ageing profile of the county in all the wards in the Division or just some? . How diverse is the community in terms of ethnicity? . What is the impact of deprivation on families and residents? . Does there seem to be a link between deprivation and school performance? . What is the breakdown of employment sectors in the area? . Is it a relatively healthy area compared to the rest of the district or county? . What sort of crimes are prevalent in the community?
