Issue 10 5 April 2019 HEAD OF SCHOOL’S NEWS

Welcome to our April Newsletter which, again, is packed full of student events, activities, trips, visits, sport- ing successes and achievements. Every day the efforts and attitude of our students and the dedication of staff who enable them to reach their potential continues to impress me. This edition gives just some of the reasons why.

It has been an incredibly busy and eventful term; my personal highlights included the collapsed day and the music and dance performance earlier in the week. Firstly, the collapsed day which involved the whole of Year 8 travelling to Hunstanton to complete some Geography fieldwork on coasts and sea defences. We were very lucky with the weather, which allowed the students to complete the activities with great success. Thank you Miss Dixon and Mr Ayling for organising this, it takes a lot of planning and co-ordination to get nearly 180 students in the right place at the right time. Whilst this was going on the Year 7s were treated to a STEM day organised by Mr Joyce and Mr Sandeman, which was a huge success with students talking about it for days after. Secondly, our dance and music performance, this was a very successful evening with over 70 students taking part. Thank you to all of you who attended to support the students so that they had an opportunity to show their talents to a live audience. Without doubt, there is a lot of talent in this school and I am looking forward to seeing these students develop over the coming years in future events. Thank you to Miss Mead and Miss Ennin-Mensah who were the driving force behind this successful evening. At this point, I would like to wish Miss Ennin-Mensah all the best for her wedding over the Easter holi- days, we all hope that she has a fantastic day.

The final term of the year always proves to be just as busy as the rest and this year is no exception. Straight after Easter will see the start of the Year 7 parents’ evenings, which will take place over the first 3 weeks. We have organised it this way so that as many parents as possible can meet their children’s teachers. You will be informed via email when the slots are open for you to book appointments on Bromcom. If you incur/encounter problems making the bookings, please contact the school and we will assist in helping you.

There will be examinations taking place in Maths, English, Science, Geography, History and Languages for both year groups. These will take place in the main hall under full examination conditions. We feel that this is important so that students get used to experiencing the process so that they know what to expect when they take their external examinations at the end of Year 11. It also allows students an opportunity to demonstrate the progress that they have made this year. Timetables will be published after the Easter holidays but so you are aware, the Year 8 exams will take place the week beginning 13 May with the Year 7 exams starting the week beginning 3 June. Students have access to many online resources including the PiXL maths app, which they could spend some of their holidays using to prepare for these exams.

Could I ask all parents of students who use the crossing on Road when walking, biking or scootering to school, to re- mind them of how to use the crossing responsibly. We are constantly reminding individuals in school however, we are still receiving concerns from the public about children crossing when they should not be. Just recently there have been a group of

students hanging around at the corner of Hartland Avenue and London Road, waiting for other friends to turn up for school. This is a very busy corner and we are anxious that students are not putting themselves in a situation where they may get hurt. You may have seen recently that we are addressing this by being on duty down at the crossing whenever possible, could you also reinforce the message at home that students should make their way directly to school and not hang around in groups waiting for friends. Your help and support on both these matters would be appreciated.

Hampton Gardens Hampton Diary Dates and Term Dates 16 HAMPTON GARDENS NEWS It has been another successful term in respect of sporting successes, the PE pages of this newsletter will go into more detail. However, I would like to thank Miss Mead, Mr Trewhitt, Mr Leach, Mr Matthews, Mrs Williams and Miss Goodey, who have given up their lunchtimes and their time after school to run training and attend the fixtures. Without this dedication and com- mitment these clubs would not run.

I am still concerned about the punctuality of a small group of students at the start of the day. Registration starts at 8.30am, which means that students need to be on site by 8.25am at the very latest so that they are able to get to form on time. We take attendance very seriously and feel it is part of our ethos that every child attends regularly to obtain a good education. This is so every student can take advantage of the educational opportunities available to them. I have had a number of re- quests recently to authorise family holidays. I would just like to remind all parents/carers that we are unable to authorise any holiday regardless of the circumstances. It may also be worthy of a mention that the school holiday dates are available for this year and next academic year on the website.

Finally, the summer term is nearly upon us and I would like to take this opportunity to remind parents that students have the opportunity to wear the summer uniform. This means that students can wear the summer polo shirt (which needs to be tucked in) instead of a shirt and tie. This is not a compulsory so students can continue to wear their shirt and tie as normal. It is still a requirement for students to wear their blazar to, from school, and in assemblies even if they are wearing the polo shirt. After such a busy term may I wish everyone an enjoyable and restful Easter break and thank you all for your ongoing support of Hampton Gardens.

Mr A H Greenwood Head of School

Red Cross Dance and Music Show Hampton Gardens second showcase event was a fantastic success with 70 students involved. It was a lovely evening celebrating a range of talent from the choir, violinists, drummers, ukulele and pianists to cheerleading, theatre performances and street dance! Thank you to the dance leaders for their organisa- tion and presenting skills. A big thank you to all parents, carers, staff volunteers and families for your support.

We raised £1137.23 – well done!

National Spelling Bee Competition

On Tuesday 26 March our three Year 7 Spelling Bee finalists (Ella , Leo and Abigail) competed in the regional finals. All three students did extremely well and were required to stand in front of an audi- ence and then translate and spell as many words as they could from a random list of 150 words in German. They also had to use the German alphabet to spell the words, so it’s a very tough task! We

are very proud of all 3 students. Well done.

This is Language

This term the MFL Department have signed up to Thisislanguage.com which is a website where we can set homework and students can complete grammar tasks to enhance their knowledge of French and German. Students can also play the very popular Nutty Tilez vocab game.

Well done to 8-B1 who have topped the leaderboard for this term with the classes getting 36,629 points!

Year 7 - STEM Day

Year 7 students undertook their first STEM day at Hampton Gardens and it was a massive success. STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics and the aim was to inspire students into thinking about these areas and how they might be able to obtain a job in one of these fields in the future. The speakers were hugely complimentary of the stu- dents saying “ They were incredibly polite and tried to achieve in every session, looking forward to coming back next year”.

This is a massive testament to the mentality of the students and we hope they enjoyed the day.

Year 8 - Geography Field Trip to Hunstanton

Another first for Hampton Gardens School – the first whole year school trip.

175, Year 8 students on three buses, made their way to the North Norfolk Coast to collect primary data for their Geography enquiry. As is usual on bus journeys, everyone had a great time chatting, listening to music or playing games.

We split the buses up into Old Hunstanton and Hunstanton Town to do the field work and the students set to work on the following skills:

 Counting Wave Frequency  Measuring the sediment either side of the Groynes  Measuring the direction of Longshore Drift  Completing an annotated Field Sketch  Completing a Bi Polar Survey of seas defences.

They did this brilliantly and all students collected primary data.

Of course, the best part of the day for everyone was lunchtime and many students ate fish and chips on the green. The weather in the afternoon was fabulous with clouds clearing and the sun shone brightly.

“I have never “We didn`t have “It was been on a lots of writing to “I hope we do fab!” beach before” do just data to something like collect “

this next year”

“The Fish and “The geology Chips were lovely” “We saw a dead was fun” baby shark which “We had a great was sad” day out”

4 Hampton Gardens Hampton HAMPTON GARDENS SIXTH FORM NEWS Hub Club creates a buzz! A new lunchtime club is helping our youngest students access helpful guid- ance on school life – but it’s not from teachers. The Hub Club on Friday lunchtimes brings together younger students with sixth form volunteers who come along to mingle, chat and give first-hand advice, all in a friendly and informal atmosphere powered by hot chocolate and biscuits.

The Hub Club was begun by sixth form tutor and Head of Health & Social Care, Mrs Carter, who runs it with Mrs Elliott, who is in charge of sixth form student services. The teachers are on hand to supervise the meetings and organise informal activities, but it is the sixth formers who are helping the younger students with stories of their own experiences in the school.

“It’s been a great success,” said Mrs Carter. “We only started the Hub Club in March but within three weeks we had more than 20 students joining us, and there was a real buzz around the classroom.

“The idea is to give younger students a secondary support network in school. They bond with the sixth formers over games like Lego and activities like colouring and card making or even from just chatting. Those relationships carry them through dur- ing the days and weeks of the school year.

“They chat about common interests but also things like friendships and personal relationships. Sometimes younger students don’t know how to cope with issues and certain challenges of growing up in a school, but they feel more relaxed talking to someone closer to their age who has recent similar experiences. It’s students who have walked in their shoes.”

Added Mrs Carter: “It works really well, and it also fits into the buddy system we have in school where sixth formers are as- signed to specific tutor groups. It helps bring the whole school together.

“The younger students get the guidance they are seeking and the sixth formers gain confidence from being useful and making a connection with those younger than themselves.”

The Hub Club offers games and organised activities, but there is no obligation to join in – or even stay for the duration of lunchtime. “You can come and join in or just sit and enjoy some quiet time with your lunch,” says Mrs Carter. “The idea is that you can drop in any time. Everyone’s invited.”

Health & Social Care students learn life-saving skills

As part of their studies the Health & Social Care, students have left the text books to one side to learn new skills. It’s a fact that if a person experiences a heart attack in the community their chances of survival are massively reduced if the people who respond are not trained in life sav- ing CPR skills.

The figures show that less than 1 in 10 people who have a cardiac arrest outside of hospital in the UK survives (British Heart Foundation).

With this in mind we decided to include lifesaving skills and first aid into the lessons, giving students these crucial additional skills to help create a nation of life savers. All schools can have the training kit and here at Hampton Trust, we have

the facility to train staff and students in CPR.

Students were trained using ‘Call Push & Rescue kit’ courtesy of Miss Bowd at Hampton College, the kit teaches CPR and other emergency lifesaving skills, including what to do if someone has chest pain, is choking, or is bleeding seriously.

The students felt that this lesson was invaluable not only to their education but to their personal development.

If you wish to know more about CPR go to the British Heart Foundation website: https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/ how-to-save-a-life

5 Hampton Gardens Hampton ATTENDANCE MATTERS

Attendance at school is crucial if students are to make good progress in their learning. Government research has shown that:

 pupils with no absence are over twice as likely to achieve 5+ GCSEs A*-C or equivalent and almost 3 times as likely to achieve 5+ GCSEs A*-C or equivalent including English and Mathematics than pupils missing 15-20% of KS4 lessons.

Attendance facts

The school day has two attendance sessions

 If your child seems unwell in the morning but seems better by lunchtime, please bring them into school for the after- noon session, this will help to keep your child’s attendance as high as possible.  If your child ever has to have an emergency medical appointment, please ensure that you try to make it at the beginning or end of a school day, this way your child would only miss a maximum of half a day for the appointment.  If it is a routine appointment please try to make it for after school or in the holiday period  Children who arrive late at school, after the attendance register is closed, are deemed to be absent from school. There- fore, it is equally important for children not to be late for registration. Missing 10 minutes a day equates to 6.3 days of school lost over the year.

A quick reminder of how to let us know your child is off ill:

 Phoning the student absence line 01733 246700 option number 1  Emailing [email protected]

If you child is marked absent and we have not heard from you we will phone you to check you know they are not in school. We will follow this up with an email and text message to try and ensure we have contact with you that day.

Finally, please help us to help you. If you are worried about your child’s absence staff are available in school who can help and support you.

6 Hampton Gardens Hampton NEWS FROM ACHIEVEMENT SUPPORT

Making best use of teaching assistants at Hampton Gardens

During this past term, the Achievement Support Department has been working with the Teaching Staff at Hampton Gardens, to ensure that Teaching Assistants are being used to their full potential.

Firstly, Teaching Staff were surveyed on how they currently use TAs in the classroom, based on research conducted by the Education Endowment Foundation in 2016. The findings of this survey identified the schools strengths and areas for develop- ment.

Strengths:

 Teachers use TAs to add value to what they do, not replace them.  Teachers use TAs to help pupils develop independent learning skills and manage their own learning.

Areas for development:

 Teachers sometimes use TAs as informal teaching resource for low attaining pupils (N.B it is recommended that TAs are not used for this purpose.)  Ensuring TAs are fully prepared for their role in the classroom.

Next steps:

 Teachers were provided with the following table from the Education Endowment Foundation, in order to support with facilitating TA preparedness for lessons. There will be time for staff to feedback the impact of using these strategies next term (below).

Ensure TAs have the lesson plan ‘need to knows’ in advance

Concepts, facts and information being taught Skills to be learned, applied, practised or extended

Intended learning outcomes

Expected / required feedback

 TAs were given a scaffolding framework that they wear on their lanyard, to continue to promote self-scaffolding and inde- pendent learning among all students (below)

7 Hampton Gardens Hampton NEWS FROM ACHIEVEMENT SUPPORT

 To prevent using TAs as an informal teaching resource for low attaining pupils, teachers are encouraged to spend 1:1 time with the students they feel spend a lot of time with the TA, while the TA supports with the general monitoring of the class.

All of the TAs at Hampton Gardens deliver some level of intervention as well, and are continuing to develop their under- standing of the Graduated Approach.

Sensory and Breakout Room

The Achievement Support Department have been creating resources for the Sensory Room. Pictured are some cushions made by Mrs Caborn’s craft clubs and sensory bottles made by Mrs Cava.

Next term, the Achievement Support Department will be creating a mural for the Breakout Room. Students who use this room have partici- pated in a survey on what type of mural would help regulate and calm them down. Judging by the feedback we will be creating an interesting outdoor painting on one wall, and space on the other wall for students to kick the balls and aim for targets to help them concentrate. If you can donate paints, brushes and dust sheets, please contact [email protected].

AUTISM AWARENESS WEEK 1 – 7 APRIL 2019

Miss Bullough will be leading year group assemblies for Autism Awareness Week. We feel it is important to collect the views of the students at Hampton Gardens who have a diagnosis of ASD to ensure these assemblies capture their experiences of living with the condition sensitively and respectfully.

Students are invited to work with Miss Bullough on creating these assemblies over the next few weeks. If you as parents also wish to discuss how having ASD affects life outside of school, feel free to email your responses to [email protected]

The Great Big Dance Off Competition, Birmingham

Year 7 & Year 8 dance students competed in their first dance competition performing at the Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham. Students were in the second round of The Great Big Dance Off – the regional heat, which was an incredible standard! 16 schools competed in the KS3 competition which had a real mix of experience with Year 7,8 & 9 students, some from dance company training too.

Hampton Gardens raised the roof with their performance of contemporary and street dance with choreography based on ‘the day-to-day difficulties of being a teenager ‘growing up’. The battles we face with friendship groups, families and school pres- sures. We love to dance it makes us feel free and happy especially when performing as a team, we forget our worries and enjoy shining on stage!’

We placed 7th overall and I am very proud of their amazing achievement!

Well done everyone!

Girls Cricket

The girls were looking forward to playing their competitive cricket matches after attending 6 weeks training last half term. Students were a little nervous, but worked well together as a team coaching and supporting each other to develop confi- dence and make good decisions during batting and fielding.

SPOTLIGHT ON …

Robbie, Year 8

Robbie has been doing trampolining gymnastics since he was about 6-7 years old, with his club Aero Ki- netics. He really enjoys this club and now trains twice a week. He recently took part in a competition in Lincoln and came 1st receiving a gold medal. He was placed in an age category 13-14 years old, an older group as he is still only 12. Robbie performed fantastically well even though he was very nervous. His whole family are extremely proud of him. He has performed in his clubs home competitions but this was his first one away and hopefully many more to come.
