Wolverley Secondary School Tell us a bit about yourself Joe and why you chose teaching as a profession. “Having teachers in the family has always fostered my interest in teaching as a career. My passion for languages increased whilst during my French Degree at Leeds University where I also studied Mandarin Chinese and Italian as supplementary subjects. I took the chance to teach English language as a foreign language in France and found this incredibly rewarding. I went on to complete a TEFL on returning the England to widen my under- standing of language teaching. I also chose to study Mathematics at University as I enjoy problem solving and the challenges that the subject brings. With my Joint Honours Class 1 Degree in French and Mathematics, I broadened my range of learning and research skills.” What were your reasons for applying to Stourport SCITT? “The Stourport SCITT offered a course which was tailored towards me and could be adapted to allow me to teach both French and Maths at secondary level. This was important to me as I enjoy both subjects equally and wanted to continue to use both subjects in the future. The Stourport SCITT was partnered with schools in the local area, meaning I knew I could stay local and wouldn’t have to travel long distances to placements, encour- aging me to apply to the Stourport SCITT. Stourport High School has a fantastic reputation in the area which further boosted its appeal to me and the ex- cellent communication with the staff running the SCITT showed me the effective organisation before deciding to apply for the Stourport SCITT. “ Got a degree?

Time during the week was allocat- ed to planning and marking, to allow for great lessons to be prepared and other Subjects on offer at SCITT-related work to be completed (PGCE assignments/mentor meetings). Stourport SCITT: Time during training blocks was structured around the areas on which we need- ed to improve on as trainees and allowed the focus to be tailored towards the needs of the group, instead of generic training. Biology Business Studies Now that I am qualified, a typical day is spent teaching for the majority of the Chemistry day, with 5 hours given over in the week to planning, preparation and marking Computer Science or a NQT meeting slot.

  • Newsletter from St
    2016 WINTER ISS UE St. John’s C of E Middle School The Red Sweater The termly Newsletter from St. John’s School Headteacher’s introduction I write to you as the distant chimes of Christmas approach and there is a growing anticipation and excitement amongst the children. This has been a busy term with many highlights. The Year 7 and 8 children who visited Ingestre Hall were full of their experience and it was wonderful to hear of so many moving beyond their comfort zone and trying new activities such as dance. A number of children found a talent for dancing and singing that they did not realise they had! The Newsletter again reflects the range and variety of learning experiences provided for our pupils and it is very pleasing to see them taking part in these challenges. As I have communicated separately, Mrs Ireland, Deputy Headteacher, leaves us after 13 years of service at St. John’s to take up a Headship at St. Mary’s in Studley and we thank her and wish her every success in the future. Finally, can I thank all staff, parents and pupils for their hard work and support this term and wish all a peaceful and enjoyable Christmas. We look forward to welcoming the children back on Tuesday 3rd January 2017. Mr. G. L. Roberts Headteacher English Civil War day On Monday 14th and Tuesday 15th we welcomed the Colonel back to the school to hold an English Civil War day for Year 8 students. The students had a great day and learnt lots about what life was like during the Civil War and how the conflict was fought getting to actually handle weapons from the time such as matchlock muskets, pikes and swords amongst other artefacts from the time.

  • Bewdley Matters
    Bewdley & Arley The newsletter of your local Conservatives Editor: Cllr Julian Phillips Autumn 2011 Gypsy & Traveller Sites Consultation Right: Cllr Julian Phillips, Representative for Bewdley & Arley and Cabinet Member for Place Shaping, WFDC Wyre Forest District Council recently tasked consultants with researching sites throughout the District with a view to their potential use for situating gypsy and traveller caravans. Residents may be aware that the suggested ‘best’ possible sites have now been short listed and are due to be consulted upon starting in late October. None of the suggested sites are located within Bewdley & Arley ward. The allocation of pitches is a commitment the council has made when it adopted the Core Strategy in December 2010. The policy is designed to lessen the likelihood of travellers turning up randomly, like they did at Spennells earlier this year, and also arm the council better to resist unlawful encampments becoming authorised and avoid long drawn out appeals similar to those experienced in August at Dale Farm in Essex. Julian said “I must stress that none of the sites are set in stone. 43 pitches may need to be established in a phased period over the next 11 years (30 by 2017). They could be established on as little as four of the sites or local land owners may suggest other sites which aren’t included amongst the list during the consultation process. The final sites will not be proposed until after the public consultation has closed and all the evidence brought forward has been examined”. The consultation will be carried out through the newspaper, separate pamphlets, council website, library and Worcestershire Hub.

    South Bromsgrove High - An Academy Trust Half-Yearly Newsletter Issue 12 2019 www.southbromsgrove.worcs.sch.uk View from Miss Dodd What’s your first memory? My first memory is not a fond one. It is of me being viciously attacked by my pet cat, Rosie. My mum even has a picture of this so I can relive it every day! What’s your favourite food? My favourite meal is my Mum’s Sunday roast. Favourite food: Milkybar yoghurt. When you were 16 what plans did you have for a career? I knew that I loved English and that I wanted to make sure I incorporated the subject into my career, but I did not realise I wanted to be a teacher until after University. Who’s your favourite actor/sportsperson/ music artist? (you could focus on just one) I’ve been listening to British artist, Jamie Issac a lot recently. His song ‘Wings’ is beautiful. What’s the best piece of advice you have received? You don’t have to be extraordinary to do extraordinary things. Tell me something others might not know about you? In the same week, I was stung by a bee, wasp and jellyfish. Needless to say it wasn’t the best of holidays. Who was your favourite teacher? My favourite teacher at school was my history teacher, Mr Larkin. He was one of those teachers that could just sit and talk to the class for an hour and everyone would be captivated. How do you relax? Sleep. 2 Issue 12 2019 : www.southbromsgrove.worcs.sch.uk Keep communicating For any large organisation, communication with all stakeholders can be a challenge.
