Celebrating Success at the Principal's Garden Party 1 Newsletter: Issue 6 End of School Year Summer 2017 Celebrating Success at the Principal’s Garden Party From the Mayor of Bideford to the Chair of Governors, hundreds arrived at the Devon Hall on the 20th July for the Princi- pal’s Garden Party to celebrate a year of students’ outstanding achievements. It was a wonderful way to finish the year. Guests enjoyed delicious canapés and were able to watch students perform throughout the evening; whether it was the BideBelles, or the Sixth Form Folk Band everyone was entertained—the evening showcased much of Bideford College’s out- standing talent. During the evening certificates were presented by Heads of House to the students who really had gone above and beyond throughout 2016-17 at Bideford College. Mrs Kane had the pleasure of again congratulating our new House Captains and awarding certificates. Our new Houses Leaders were also presented with their leaders badges which they will wear on their blazers with pride. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 2 Lyndsey Kane - Principal I cannot quite believe that we are at the end of the 2016-2017 academic year. What a year we have had - as you will have seen from the contents of our Newsletters this year. One of the most important aspects of our work at Bideford College is ensuring that every young person who attends is happy, responsible and successful. We are continually working hard to ensure that every second counts and that all lessons are exciting, engaging and contribute to your son or daughter’s future success. We want all of our students to be the very best that they can be and I would like to take this opportunity to thank the teachers, parents and magnificent students of Bideford College for all of their hard work, determination and enthusiasm this year. The progress we have all made towards improving the College is immense and we will continue on this journey in September. I hope you will enjoy reading about all of the fantastic successes, events and experiences of the students at Bideford College in the final Newsletter of the year. Thank you to all of those who have provided articles for it. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a happy, relaxing and safe summer holiday and I very much look forward to welcoming all of our students back on Tuesday 5th September. Lyndsey End of year House Cup winner…. Arthur! www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 3 After 29 years, we say good-bye to the inimitable Mrs Langford It is with much sadness that we say good-bye to our wonderful Head of P.E Shirley Langford. Mrs Langford has inspired thousands of young people (and adults!) in her 29 years here at Bideford College. I don’t believe there is anyone who doesn’t have a fond or humorous recollection of time spent being taught by her. Her tireless enthusiasm and positive influence has changed many lives. We wish her all the very best that life has to offer in her retirement. To form a lasting legacy we thought it only fit that the annual sports day cup should be renamed The Langford Cup. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 4 Uniform www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 5 Uniform www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 6 Uniform College Car Parking Policy Our College site has a limited number of parking spaces. There are not enough spac- es for the volume of traffic that comes on to site at the end of the school day.

Some claim that they are still awake in the early hours of the morning when every- one else in their homes are fast asleep. Many are on gadgets playing games, watching YouTube, communicating with other awake teens on social media or watching TV. They are too exhausted to attend school the following day and look genuinely poorly due to this lack of sleep and so parents phone into college and inform us that their children are too unwell for school. Sleep is food for the brain. During sleep, important body functions and brain activity occur. Skipping sleep can be harmful. It is vital to your mental health and well-being, as important as the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. It can even help you to eat better and manage the stress of being a teen. Biological sleep patterns shift toward later times for both sleeping and waking during adolescence -- meaning it is natural to not be able to fall asleep before 11:00 pm. However, teenagers need between 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to function best. Most teenagers do not get enough sleep and it is having a huge impact on their attendance and attainment. Teenagers tend to have irregular sleep patterns across the week — they typically stay up late and sleep in late on the week- ends, which can affect their biological clocks and hurt the quality of their sleep. Some teenagers do suffer from treatable sleep disorders, such as narcolepsy, insomnia, restless legs syndrome or sleep apnea and we would encourage you to consult a doctor if you think that this is the case. CONSEQUENCES: Not getting enough sleep or having sleep difficulties can: Limit your ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems. You may even forget important information like names, numbers, your homework or a date with a special person in your life Make you more prone to pimples. Lack of sleep can contribute to acne and other skin problems Lead to aggressive or inappropriate behaviour such as yelling at your friends or being impatient with your teachers or family members Cause you to eat too much or eat unhealthy foods like sweets and fried foods that lead to weight gain and low self- esteem. This can also make you more prone to having spots. Lack of sleep can contribute to acne and other skin prob- lems. Top ten tips for improving sleep patterns 1. Make sleep a priority. 2. Make your room a sleep haven. Keep it cool, quiet and dark. If you need to, get eyeshades or blackout curtains. Let in bright light in the morning to signal your body to wake up. 3. No pills, vitamins or drinks can replace good sleep. Consuming caffeine close to bedtime can hurt your sleep, so avoid coffee, tea, fizzy drinks and chocolate late in the day so you can get to sleep at night. Nicotine will also interfere with your sleep. 4. Establish a bed and wake-time and stick to it, coming as close as you can at the weekends. A consistent sleep schedule will help you feel less tired since it allows your body to get in sync with its natural patterns. You will find that it’s easier to fall asleep at bedtime with this type of routine. 5. Don’t eat, drink, or exercise within a few hours of your bedtime. Don’t leave your homework for the last minute. Try to avoid the TV, computer and telephone in the hour before you go to bed. Stick to quiet, calm activities, and you’ll fall asleep much more easily! 6. Get an alarm clock and leave your phone and any other digital gadgets downstairs. The wavelength of light given off by these devices will interfere with your sleep. You may also be tempted to keep checking them meaning you will never get into the deep sleep cycle your body needs. 7. If you do the same things every night before you go to sleep, you teach your body the signals that it’s time for bed. Try tak- ing a bath or shower (this will leave you extra time in the morning), or reading a book. 8. Try keeping a diary or to-do list. If you jot notes down before you go to sleep, you’ll be less likely to stay awake worrying or stressing. 9. When you hear your friends talking about their all-nighters, tell them how good you feel after getting enough sleep. Most teenagers experience changes in their sleep schedules. Their internal body clocks can cause them to fall asleep and wake up later. You can’t change this, but you can participate in interactive activities to help counteract your sleepiness. Make sure your activities at night are calming to counteract your already heightened alertness.

  • North Devon Schools' Rugby Champions!
    1 Newsletter: Issue 9 February 2018 North Devon Schools’ Rugby Champions! L to R: Josh Glover, Billy Heard, Jacob Stevenson, Louis Mathers, Ben Quance, Kai Pett, Ben Pomeroy, Adam Leworthy, Year 9 played Park School in the North Devon Schools’ Rugby Cup Final at Bideford RFC. They domi- nated the first 20 minutes then conceded to go behind 7-0. Two tries then put them 12-7 in the lead but the score was level 12-12 at full time. Extra time followed and Bideford dominated again, scoring 3 times to win the cup and give a final score of 31-12. It was a great team performance with the forwards winning the scrums and lots of players involved in the build up to the tries which were scored by Oli Haste (1), Sam Abbott (2) and Captain Matt Lewis (2) with the conversions kicked in very difficult conditions by Adam Leworthy. The team will now have a county semi-final. www.facebook.com/bidefordcollege www.bidefordcollege.org 2 Lyndsey Kane - Principal It is hard to imagine that 6 weeks have already flown by since we returned from the Christmas break! There has been a relentless drive this term to really think about what we are all achieving and times of reflection to assess how we can do even better. Teachers have been working hard to deliver stimulating and challenging lessons and the students have been benefiting from these and the positive impact this has had to their learning experience. Another huge focus area has been student attendance and all staff have been working really closely with their tutees and the stu- dents they teach – to remove every obstacle possible – which might stop a student from attending school.

    Responses to the Consultation on the Proposed Post-16 Transport Policy for 2017-18 Concerns Anthony Tschuk I am a social worker with the Community Health and Social Care team based in Newton Abbot. I am Specialised Social Worker (ASYE currently supporting Mr SG. I have been advised that there has been a consultation with regard to provision for Disability focussed) school transport, whereby DCC will not offer any assistance with travel unless there is no other means students with for the young person to access education. SEND S has previously been assessed by DCC Behaviour Support worker as unable to access any other means of transport to get him to college. I feel that this is the case at this moment in time. I am working with S in conjunction with the Community Enablement Team to reassess him and support him to use public transport. However, he may not be ready to use an alternative before returning to college in September Dr Phil Le Grice Thank you for the opportunity to comment on the consultation on education transport policy for 2016/17 Impact on choices Principal Bicton College and 2017/18. for students and Director of Rural Access to Economy The Cornwall In overview, anything that makes the decision to embark upon further study cumbersome or financially specialist courses College Group challenging will affect participation at our college. In particular, at a time when the raising of the Signposting to participation age is having the unintended consequence of leading families to the belief that learners advice and might need to stay on in their current schools with 6th forms, any bureaucracy that tends to reinforce support that misconception, or emphasise alternatives is unhelpful.
