YEAR 7 SUMMARY
Progress It has been very rewarding to see the progress being made by year 7. Many teachers com- mented to me about how the classes are a pleasure to teach. Parents will soon receive the first set of progress grades for their child. These are teacher‘s own grades measuring the level that the students are currently performing at. It may be that you will feel these grades are a little bit low but please bare in mind that some subjects are being taught by specialists and that students may not have had specialists delivering these subjects whilst are primary school. You should receive these grades before Christmas.
CATS Scores These will also be published to parents before Christmas. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any queries.
PARS Points PARS points are awarded for excellent behaviour and various other reasons, such as representing the school at a sporting event. We are currently in a race to achieve 30 points. The first student to score 30 points will receive a free paint balling trip. The top 10 is as follows (as of 28/11/12) -
14 Points 13 Points 12 Points Antony Collins Alfie Cull Katie George Lucy Gales Ami Martin Rebecca Oddie Owen Newman Sala Matanatabu Michael Pritchard Max Pulford

YEAR 10 SUMMARY
Students in Year 10 are continuing to make a strong start to their GCSE courses. Many students are completing outstanding work in lessons and at home, or are con- tributing to the school in other ways, representing our successful sports teams or working with students from the local primary schools. As a result of this fantastic work, many have re- ceived commendations as part of our new rewards system - the current top five students being: Megan Armstrong, Jennifer Kee, Jasmine Bucannon, Lewis Houghton and Myles Jones.
Recently staff have completed tracking information on how students are performing in their various subjects, and, from my point of view as Progress Leader, it is positive to see that many more students are on track to achieve or surpass their target grades than are falling short at this time. The data also provides a picture of which students are demonstrating a good attitude to learning regarding their be- haviour, classwork and homework. In this regard, our most successful students are currently: Megan Armstrong, Jack Quayle, Adam Souster, Noah Metcalfe, Robben Sherburne and Katie Warren. My con- gratulations go to these individuals for their continued efforts. Also worth mentioning are those who have made significant improvements since earlier in the term, including Emma Adlam, Amar Gurung, Jor- dan Hicks, Liam Howard, Louis Jackson, Chantelle Neale and Charlotte Shuttleworth.
Alongside the reasons to celebrate the work and commitment being shown by many students, an area for concern has also been highlighted – that of incomplete homework. The nature of many of the GCSE and BTEC courses is such that setting homework is necessary to complete the content and to reinforce learning that takes place in the lessons. Students who frequently fail to complete homework are putting themselves at a disadvantage as they strive towards success in their various courses. We continue to appreciate the support we get from home in reinforcing the importance of this.
One other issue that has caused concern recently has been that of bullying, both in a physical sense and through social media networks. While we do all that we can to clamp down on any issues that arise within school, we are not in a position to follow up online bullying that takes place elsewhere, and so we would urge parents to involve the police and internet providers if they have any concerns that cyber-bulling is taking place. You can look at the CEOP website http://ceop.police.uk/ which gives you guidance about staying safe on line. (there is also a link from the school website).

YEAR 11 SUMMARY
Exams A reminder to all year 11 students that they should be revising for the upcoming Mocks and indeed for the real exams which start after Christmas. Attending the weekly revision clas- ses will help you with some of your revision, but you should also be revising at home. A reminder also that the ALAN tests are running in room 9 on Tuesday after school. Book an appointment with Mrs Fletcher or Mrs Daulby and get those out of the way as quickly as possible.
Colleges Year 11 continue to have college presentations on a Friday in assembly. Please also make use of any up- coming open evenings. Finally, don‘t forget to send off those applications!
Christmas Fair Year 11 should start thinking about what kind of stall they would like to run at the Christmas Fair and start their planning and preparation in tutor time. The Christmas Fair is not just a lovely whole school event, but also allows the students to gain the other half GCSE to make up the one they sat in the sum- mer.
PARS A reminder that the first student to achieve 30 PARS points in the Christmas promotion will receive a Paintballing voucher for themselves and 9 friends. Star Students

First person wins! MATHS CHALLENGE 7
To win the prize and 2 PARS points, bring your written explanation (with your name & tutor group clearly seen) to Mr Greeves in room 54. All the best entries will be put in a hat and the first one drawn wins. Deadline Wednesday 12th December 2012. Good luck!

Competition open to pupils, parents and staff too!
Page 10 Issue 3 2012/2013
CHALLENGE 6 WINNER
Challenge 6 winner: Mr S. Rogers! He found the closest answer; and although he did not match the correct solution, he did provide a 100% correct explanation for his alternative interpretation of the question. It was most original too. Well done Mr Rogers, your chocolates are waiting for you in Room 54.
Mr. Rogers’ reasoning: Well if a 3rd equals ¾ of the group behind, then a 3rd of 9 is 3 which equals ¾ of 4. Thus 9 + 4+ Mr Roper = 14 total (if dancing in a straight line).
The correct solution: Mr Roger noticed one ‗trick‘ which was to include Mr Roper. However, the 2nd catch in the puzzle was that the teachers were dancing ―around Stonehenge‖, in other words, in a circle! A third of 12 people in front (which equals 4) plus ¾ of 12 behind (which equals 9), gives 4 + 9 = 13 which is 12 + Mr Roper.
Runner Up Prizes: Runner up PARS points (one per person) go to Tom Badger (9RCL), Elouise Horner (7EVJ), Reece Loveridge (8GJW), Aaron Markham (9RCH), Matthew Tuck (10DGR) and George White (9RCL) for good effort.

On Friday 16th November Children dressed up in mufti, many wearing spotty outfits to raise money for children in need. Representatives of Equality House set up stalls in the lower school dining hall selling Pudsey key rings and colourful wrist bands and raised over £150. A samba competition and a quiz also raised some money too, Alto- gether £688 was raised for Chil- dren In Need this year. It was a great success Mr Langley
Aim Higher Event at Bath University
Engineering Taster Day
Nine pupils from Mr. Grainger‘s Resistant materials Year 10 option Group at- tended an ‖Engineering Taster Day‖ at Bath University on Tuesday 20th No- vember.
The day consisted of finding out about the various aspects of ―Engineering‖ ; Mechanical, Civil, Electronic and Chemical and the careers related to them.
For a large part of the day, the 9 pupils were set to work in groups to come up with designs and mod- els to find engineering solutions to situations presented to them. All the pupils found the day beneficial and hopefully gave them an insight into ―Engineering‖.

CSI ………..
On Wednesday 14th November Miss Ellis took a group of 12 Year 9 pupils to a Forensics ‗Solve it‘ day at @Bristol.
The pupils were given instruction on forensic techniques such as examining fingerprints, shoeprints, fi- bres and inks (they even took and examined their own fingerprints). They then used this knowledge to identify the criminal in a series of holdups.
The instructor for the course was very impressed with their behaviour and scientific knowledge. They were a credit to themselves and the school. I had fun a the Bristol Science Museum. The best bit was Miss Ellis learning about forensics. It I really enjoyed the trip to ‗@ Bris- helped me learn about how

Stage ‘65
Salisbury’s Youth Theatre Group Production of
‘Lord of the Flies’
Congratulations must go to Fraser Adams (8JAR) on his review which ap- peared on the Salisbury Journal‘s website. Fraser is pictured below (arrowed) with his LAMDA Award
―The cast is chosen well, each character instantly recognisable to those who have read the book.
While the whole cast is strong, special mention must go to Fraser Adams whose portrayal of Maurice is brilliant, bringing humour at times to what is, on the whole, a rather gruesome story.‖
Another student involved in the production was Thomas Brown.
Well done to both boys certainly stars in the making!

Stop Press!! Fraser is also starring in production of ―The Pied Piper‖ in Studio Theatre, Ashley Road, Salisbury !!
LAMDA Acting examination success at The Stonehenge School.
LAMDA is The London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts and The Stonehenge School is one of their private centres.
Nineteen students achieved grades ranging from 4 to Gold, the highest Acting grade possible. Notable
amongst the successful performers were Year 11 students Charlotte Rowe and Megan Doole. They were delighted to receive Gold awards with Merits for their three performances. Year 9 students, Gemma Hammond and Ellie Maple were awarded Silver medals for scenes from Shakespeare, Wilde and Willy Russell. Euan Mauchline and Fraser Ad- ams, both Year 8 students earned a Bronze with Merit for their pieces that included a creepy interpretation of Doctor Jeckyll and Mr Hyde.
Page 15 Issue 3 2012/2013
Year 11‘s Holly Holstead and Jessica Andrews came away with Bronzes too for their darkly comic duologue, The Assassination.
Perhaps the most unusual choice of contrasting roles came from Montana Birks who got a Bronze with Merit playing both Ceci- ly Cardew (from The Importance of Being Earnest )and a cat! Kianna Hardy (Year 9)gave an out of this world performance as a ghost teenager (Vicky Angel) and earned a Grade 5 certificate alongside Lauren Kenny. Jodie Hill was another Year 9 student in receipt of a Bronze medal.
Solo performers were Bronze medallists, Nathan Carter, Holly Sherburne, Eloise Davies- Tyler and Sam Griffiths whose diverse monologues ranged from the Sophocles‘ Antigone to Grant and Naylor‘s space comedy, Red Dwarf. Younger students included Bethan Ellis and Leah Yates with Grade Four Solo awards and Jasmine Scott with a Grade 5 (Merit).
Fifty-nine students have gained LAMDA awards since the first examinations in 2010.

YEAR 8 GEOGRAPHY PROJECTS
In Year 8, many of the classes were asked to make a model of a river‘s journey out of a variety of materials IN- CLUDING Lego, cake, papier mache and cardboard.
On the 9th November, 2012, the Year 8 class, 8T, presented their creations to the class.
The grades that were given were in between a Level 4 and a Level 5.
Many of the students were happy with their levels and most of them were hungry for their cake!

"Local Business Supports Road Safety Initiative In Amesbury" Amesbury Area Road Safety Quiz 2012
The Stonehenge School hosted six schools for the "Third Annual Amesbury Area Road Safety Quiz" sponsored by MEMORY OPTICIANS, just before "The Clocks Change".
On Monday 22nd October 2012 ,Newton Tony Pri- mary School, Amesbury Primary School and All Saints Primary School, Netheravon competed in the first leg of The Amesbury Area Road Safety Competition with each school sending a team of four pupils drawn from either Year 6 or Year 5 to take part in a "University Challenge" style contest based on The Highway Code and Cycle Safety.
All the teams were keen to perform well and showed a good degree of understand- ing of; Road Traffic Signs, The Green Cross Code, Accident Prevention and basic facts associated with Traffic Accidents. By the end of the competition the scores were as follows in a closely fought contest; Newton Tony Primary School 37 points, Amesbury Primary School 34 points, All Saints, Primary School Netheravon also 34 points.
Prizes sponsored by MEMORY OPTICIANS were awarded by the Quizmaster to all the teams and individuals that took part.
Subsequently on Wednesday 24th October, Woodford Valley Primary School, Amesbury Archer Primary School and Bulford St. Leonards Primary School competed in the second leg of the competition answering similar questions in the same "University Challenge" style.
Again the knowledge displayed by all the competiting teams was impressive. On this occasion the scores were as follows; Bulford St. Leonards Primary School scored 38 points, Amesbury Archer Primary School scored 36 points, Woodford Valley Primary School scored 35 points.
Page 17 Issue 3 2012/2013
Prizes from the event sponsors MEMORY OPTICIANS were again awarded to all those that took part.
Hopefully by raising awareness of the need for young people to con- sider their safety on the road whether as a pedestrian, cyclist or passenger in a vehicle, the number of accidents involving young people may be reduced this Autumn and Winter.

31st of October. When the last trick-or-treaters have been called home, the streets are quiet and dark, sweet wrappers floating. Four children dare to enter Old Man Jenkins’ house. One falls through a rotten floor; one opens a battered and mouldy door to be impaled on bloody spikes; one went down to the dingy, cobweb-strewn basement to be eaten alive by huge, ferocious insects. One boy left alive, alive but never to leave. Now every November trick-or-treaters steer clear of the Jenkins house. They dare each other to knock on the door, but no-one ever does. From the shadows, the boy looks on, waiting. By Bradley Such Year 10

So far this year we have hosted 3 primary school PE festivals. The first festival of the year was the year 3/4 football. There were a total of 10 teams at the festival, totalling about 100 8 and 9 year olds. The festival was suc- cessfully run by the year 10 and 11 BTEC pu- pils. Our pupils managed teams, did the score sheets, took photos and refereed the matches.
Following on from the success of this festival the year 10 BTEC pupils then ran the year 6 Gifted and Talented morning. Pupils from Woodford Valley, Newton Tony, Ames- bury Primary and Christ the king came bringing a total of 32 children. Although there were less partici- pants this festival tested the BTEC pupils more as they now had to explain things that many had not tried themselves. The BTEC pupils ran activities which tested the pupils agility, co- ordination, reactions, balance and team work. The primary pupils worked with pupils from other schools at this festival and were challenged in many activi- ties.
The final festival that has taken place this year is the year 1/2 BISI Badminton Festival, this was run by the year 10 Sports Leaders group (with the help of a few extra students). Our pupils again received lots of praise from the primary staff relating to their attitude and their manner with the young pupils. The sports leaders took charge of the 10 stations that the 80 primary pupils took part in. For many of the primary pupils they had never held a badminton racket before so this event taught them new skills, that they appeared to extremely enjoy.
At all of these festivals our pupils received high levels of praise from the Primary staff and par- ents. They all worked really hard to ensure that the primary pupils enjoyed their day and that it ran very smoothly. Well done to all the students who took part. Mrs Ruscoe
