KIT Newsletter Lytchett Minster School | KIT Newsletter November 2017 elcome to our November edition Wof the KIT newsletter! Autumn has very much arrived, and the site is looking absolutely stunning. One of the highlights of October was our Sixth Form Open Evening, which again, like the main school Open Evening, was very well attended. We are very proud of our broad sixth form curriculum, and it is clear that many students from other local schools are also interested in coming to Lytchett to study A levels and BTECs that they cannot study elsewhere. If you have not already done so, please remember to buy your tickets for our production of Beauty and the Beast on 8th, 9th and 10th November. Tickets are available on WisePay (see our website for details). The students have been working really hard (lunchtimes, evenings and weekends) to make this a fantastic show. I am extremely grateful to Mrs Midworth, Mr Painter, Mrs Ames and Mrs Hocking and the rest of their team for their extraordinary dedication to the students. This year, we have decided to make the final night a black-tie event. I do hope you will support this. The Tenner Challenge returns this year, with our budding entrepreneurs being given until February 2018 to develop their business ideas and make as much money as possible! Please encourage your child to get involved in this exciting venture. The country needs entrepreneurs. I look forward to receiving lots of interesting and innovative ideas over the coming weeks. My thanks to Young Chamber and the PTA for supporting this year’s Tenner Challenge. I hope you enjoy reading about the latest achievements of our super talented young people in this edition of the KIT newsletter. They really are an inspiration to us all.

Jessie’s singing talent has been recognised in a number of major competitions in the last few years. We look forward to hearing more from this talented young singer in the months to come. Thank you for your generous support by joining in with the recent ‘Crazy Sock Day’. As a school we raised over £500 for Mosaic, a charity that supports bereaved children. It is estimated that in Dorset 2,500 children and young people will be bereaved by the death of a close relative each year, most of those families will cope in their own way; however approximately 250 children will need additional support. By joining in with Crazy Sock Day, not only have you helped to raise awareness of the charity, but also you have raised a fabulous amount of money which will be used to help the charity to continue to provide bereavement support to children and young people throughout Dorset. Congratulations to Elliott Lowman (Year 7) British International Karate Champion Congratulations to Elliott Lowman in Year 7 who was recently crowned as British International Karate Champion following his victory at the British International Open Karate Championships held at Meadowbank Sports Complex in Edinburgh. Elliott, who specialises in Kumite (fighting), has won medals in many competitions including a Silver medal in the Four Nations Championships earlier this year. As a result of Elliott’s continued outstanding performance he has now been invited to compete at an International championship In Portugal in December. We wish Elliott every success! Aiming High! On 13th October 50 students in Year 8, 9 , 10, 11 and 12 were invited to a special talk by student ambassador Jessica Lister about Oxford and Cambridge Universities. She explained about the collegiate nature of the two top universities, the courses available, and how to apply and be successful. Jessica than stayed on and talked further to individual students during the afternoon Careers Fair in the theatre. The message was clear: if students are prepared to work hard enough, there is nothing stopping them gaining a place at the best universities in the UK! On 2nd November 8 of our top students from Year 13 who are applying to either Oxford or Cambridge or planning to study medicine, will be taking part in mock interviews at Bryanston School in Blandford. We wish all our students every success in their university applications!

Join us on our journey. http://www.sustrans.org.uk/ Lytchett students train at St George’s Park On Friday 20th and Saturday 21st October the PE department lead a trip to St Georges Park & National Football Centre. Nineteen year 8 and 9 students took part in the trip and had a fantastic time. After a long road trip and some dubious spending of their money (slipper purchases) the group arrived at the 5* Hilton Hotel at St George’s Park. First up was a tour of the amazing facilities at the National Football Centre, which included 16 outdoor pitches, an indoor futsal arena, an indoor 3G pitch (which we would later train on) and the full sized replica Wembley pitch. All of this would culminate in a round of football matches on one of their 3G pitches. Some delicious tea was then devoured and off to bowling to see Jake Henshaw score the highest total of the night (from the students…cough, cough) and back to St George’s Park to catch the end of the Stoke vs West Bromwich Albion U23 Premier league match. In 35 minutes of action we witnessed 2 red cards, four goals and a complete reversal of score line. Stoke coming out eventual 4-2 victors after being 0-2 down when we arrived. Hopefully the same wouldn’t happen the following day at the Stoke vs AFC Bournemouth match, otherwise there could be tears! The following day involved being coached by a FA qualified coach, who was and ex-professional footballer and current coach at Northampton Town. This was on their indoor 3G pitch, which was also the exact same size as Wembley. They say it is to keep consistency across their training and matches. After this excellent session it was time to go to the Stoke vs AFC Bournemouth football match. As the players were walking out onto the pitch the students had the amazing opportunity to be the flag bearers on the side. All the students were waving their flags within touching distance of the pitch. The wind was blowing a gale but all students did a fantastic job and none of them let go! AFC Bournemouth were victorious 2-1 which lead to a happy bus home. Both Mrs Slaughter and I would like to thank the students for an excellent couple of days away. We look forward to running this trip again in the future. Mr Russell Sixth Form Student News The Black Sea MAP (Maritime Archaeology Project) is hosting their 2017 Celebration and Assessment event on 29 October 2017 at the University of Southampton. Katie Harrison recently took part in the Black Sea MAP (Maritime Archaeology Project) Celebration and Assessment event at Southampton University.

  • Welcome to the Final Edition Of
    Lytchett Minster School | Newsletter July 2018 elcome to the final edition of the WNewsletter this academic year! It has been a memorable year with so many collective successes and personal triumphs to celebrate. I hope you enjoy the news and information contained in this edition. As is now tradition, we are also publishing a separate picture edition of some of the major events of the Summer term. Whilst the heatwave has been challenging, it has meant that the Year 11 Prom, Sandwalk, Sports Day and Prize Giving all benefitted from magnificent weather. There have been many highlights this year: At the start of the Autumn term, we celebrated some fantastic GCSE results (including some of the best Maths results in the county). We were spellbound by the amazing production of Beauty and the Beast. The choir and orchestra performed superbly in the Christmas Concert in the theatre and the Easter concert (including the performance of Faure's Requiem) at the Parish Church. Our rock musicians excelled in the Battle of the Bands event and the Jazz Band wowed the members of the Dorset Chamber of Commerce at their special event at the BIC. Our BTEC Media students enjoyed the showing of their own films at the Lighthouse as part of their Oscars night. The quality of the Art work in recent exhibitions has been superb. The Lytchett Lecture Series has continued to attract great speakers and well-informed and enthusiastic audiences. The Key Stage 3 Literature Festival saw six outstanding writers of teenage fiction pay a visit to the school.

I am sure the young people will be going out of their way to give their parents a bit of a break as well over the festive period. If they are not cooking the Christmas dinner, I hope they will at least be keeping their rooms tidy and helping out with the household chores….. I am sure those of you who attended our annual Christmas Concert on Wednesday, 18th December would want to join me in thanking Mr Painter and Mr Clarke for putting on such an entertaining evening of festive music. It was great to see and hear such a variety of items and so many different ensembles. As always, the Art Exhibition which preceded the school concert was very impressive. The talent of our young artists is quite breathtaking . On Monday 2nd December we enjoyed the first screening of the films written, produced and directed by our Year 13 and 14 BTEC Media students at our Film Festival, held in the Poole Lighthouse cinema. Special congratulations goes to Tristan Head who was awarded the top prize of Best Film. Our sports teams continue to compete well against other local schools and achieve some outstanding results, none more so than our Year 11 boys footballers who beat Budmouth College 5-0 to reach the quarter finals of the County Cup.
