Rock Challenge encourages young people to lead healthy lifestyles and to be Rock Challenge their best without the need for tobacco, alcohol or other drugs. The competition saw nine schools from around the Hampshire/Dorset area perform at The Guildhall in Southampton, a fantastic opportunity for young people. Our theme was a twist on the ‘Pied Piper’ exploring the story through energetic choreography and fast-paced drama. The whole production was led by four Year 11 students; Sophie Ward, Daisy Baxter, Chloe Hart and Sarah Bradley. They not only came up with the concept themselves, they also choreographed the performance, ran rehearsals, created ideas for set and costume and chose the soundtrack. The girls did an absolutely fantastic job and Rock Challenge presented them with the ‘Student Leadership Award’ for their hard work and commitment to the performance. This was the second time The Gryphon School competed in Rock Challenge and although we did not place this year due to the outstanding competition we did win awards for Excellence in Drama, Visual Enhancement, Concept, Set Design and Function and Entertainment. All involved should be very proud of their hard work as it was a fabulous performance.

  • Strode College
    REPORT FROM THE INSPECTORATE Strode College February 1994 THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL THE FURTHER EDUCATION FUNDING COUNCIL The Further Education Funding Council (FEFC) has a statutory duty to ensure that there are satisfactory arrangements to assess the quality of provision in the further education sector. It discharges the duty in part through its inspectorate, which reports on each college in the sector every four years. The Council’s inspectorate also assesses and reports on a national basis on specific curriculum areas and advises the Council’s quality assessment committee. College inspections involve both full-time inspectors and registered part- time inspectors who have specialist knowledge and experience in the areas they inspect. Inspection teams normally include at least one member from outside the world of education and a nominated member of staff from the college being inspected. GRADE DESCRIPTORS The procedures for assessing quality are described in Council Circular 93/28. In the course of inspecting colleges, inspectors assess the strengths and weaknesses of each aspect of provision they inspect. Assessments are set out in their reports. They also summarise their judgements on the balance between strengths and weaknesses using a five-point scale. Each grade on the scale has the following descriptor: • grade 1 – provision which has many strengths and very few weaknesses • grade 2 – provision in which the strengths clearly outweigh the weaknesses • grade 3 – provision with a balance of strengths and weaknesses •

    Admission to Year 7 or Year 9 2021 A Guide for Parents and Carers This guide contains information to help you apply for a school place in Year 7 or Year 9 (secondary schools, studio schools and schools with an additional point of entry at Year 7 or Year 9) You can also visit our website: bcpcouncil.gov.uk/schooladmissions Introduction Introduction Welcome to our guidebook for parents and carers which has been designed to help you find the right school for your child whether your child is starting at a Secondary or Studio school, or moving school during the 2021-22 school year. It outlines what information we need from you, and what you can expect in return from us. Across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole we have 96 schools. The Council works in close partnership with them. The aspirations for our area are ambitious and include investing in our children and young people and enabling access to high quality education. We understand that moving up to Secondary or Studio school is an exciting experience for both children and parents. However, this transition can also be a challenging time for all as decisions are made about which schools to apply for - with this process then followed by the inevitable and anxious wait to see if the application has been successful. Similar to other areas, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council has experienced increased demand for school places due to rising birth rates and movement of families. We have adopted an overall strategy for the provision of school places which includes looking at options for additional capacity at existing schools and new school provision.

Rising star McCormack will portray Leo Grande, a sex worker in his 20s hired by Nancy Stokes (Thompson). Nancy yearns for some adventure, human connection and good sex, which she was robbed of in her stable but stale marriage. To make things right, the ex-teacher devises a plan and hires the services of Leo Grande for a night of bliss. McCormack has established himself as a sought-after talent who is currently shooting the BBC One season finale of ‘Peaky Blinders’. Other upcoming projects include the highly anticipated Amazon TV series ‘Wheel of Time’ and Dominic Savage’s award-winning anthology series ‘I Am…,’ for Channel 4. Daryl can currently be seen in Pixie, a brand-new feature film opposite Olivia Cooke and Ben Hardy. Further film and television credits include ‘How to Fake a War’, ‘A Good Woman is Hard to Find’, BBC One’s ‘A Very English Scandal’, ITV’s ‘Cleaning Up’ (ITV) and the History Channel’s ‘Vikings’.
