April 2014 Issue 37#

Michael Gove visited our school during his trip to the East Mid-lands. He came at four o’clock on March 14th and was impressed

that there were still students and staff here working on a Friday night! After a searching Question Time with the Student Council, he saw the high quality work being done by the Sixth Form for their Design and Tech-nology course. Simon Martin showed a display stand he is making, which we expect to use in the school foyer when it is completed. We called into the Sixth Form Common Room, packed as usual with students getting on with their studies. Several of them engaged the Secretary of State in conversation with great confidence. Amongst other things, he was interested to hear about Scott Standen’s work experience in Germany and was impressed by the high aspirations of our students. In the

Arts’ block he saw a group of Year 11s rehearsing their drama exam piece and commented on how well they appeared to be living the parts. Mrs Taylor was helping a group to perfect their Art projects and the beauty of their work was plain to see.During the visit, we were keen to take every opportunity to demonstrate the difficulty of keeping our old buildings functioning effectively. We talked about the new heating system and the replacement windows, how we are managing to keep school open despite having a new ring main installed thanks to the contractors working at night, and how desperate-ly short of Sixth Form accommodation we are.Mr Gove congratulated the school on the work it is doing. I am certain he left with a positive view of our young people and, I hope, a realistic understanding of the challenges facing those of us working in education today.

Sport Relief 2014

During the week commencing 17th March, various activities were run in aid of Sport Relief. This culminated on Friday 21st March in the entire student body walking or running a mile and dressing all day in sportswear. Sixth Form students coordinated and ran various other fundraisers like cake sales, a tuck shop and a dodgeball tournament.

The day managed to raise over £1600!

LRC News All Year 7 and Year 8 students take part in the Accelerated Reader program as part of their

English lessons and homework. After they have read a book, students take an online quiz in the LRC to check their understanding. If they pass a quiz, the computer counts the number of words they have read. So far this school year 2013-2014, participating students of The Kimberley School have read and quizzed successfully on 3130 books, the equivalent of 53,807,767 words.

The TOP TEN students from Year 7 and Year 8 who have done the most reading since Christmas are:-

Jamie Atkin - 1,044,115 words, passing 14 quizzesShanika Madigan - 865,359 words, passing 11 quizzes (9 at 100%)Faith Banks - 774,431 words, passing 12 quizzesAmy Keady - 689,982 words, passing 10 quizzes (6 at 100%)Justice Ramsey - 675,810 words, passing 10 quizzes Holly Skinner - 672,340 words, passing 10 quizzes Georgia Morgan - 672,032 words, passing 17 quizzes (10 at 100%) Ethan Ketteringham - 660,630 words, passing 22 quizzes (8 at 100%) Harry Holmes - 622,789 words, passing 8 quizzes (6 at 100%) Adam Rounce - 536,968 words, passing 8 quizzesMany other Year 7 students have achieved 100% in quizzes.

In this term’s extract from Kim, the magazine of the Kimberley County Secondary School, Spring 1947, some of you will have to ask your parents (or grandparents) about B and V. Year 11, 12 and 13 will relate to E. I like K!

THE SCHOOL ALPHABETA is for Art room where colours are blended.B is for Blackboard where errors are mended.C is for Corridors where we wander for miles.D is for Desks in all sorts of styles.E is for Exam – let’s hurry to F;F is for Football; Mr G is the ref.G is for Garden – we tend it with care;H is for him who teaches us there. I is for Icicles; we had millions of these.J is for January which started the freeze.K is for Kimberley, a centre of learning.L is for Leavers who soon will be earning.M is for Marks – we deserve more, we feel.N is for Netball where girls leap and squeal.O is for Octave, a stretch of eight sounds;P is for Practice of musical rounds.Q is for Questions – we know all the answers.R is for Rhythm as seen in our dancers.S is for Showers; they’re a change from the snow.T is for Towel which produces the glow.U is for Utensils, used when we cook;V is for Vim which brightens their look.W is for Woodwork, which the boys do with glee.X in our books is a sad thing to see.Y is for Youth and also for You.Z is for Zero – now where’s Mr Pugh?

David Burton, are you out there? You were a pupil here at the school in 1964. During some major electrical works, site staff had to remove some notice boards and your history exercise book dropped out from behind one of them! Just in case you’re still searching for it to add those missing margins that the teacher had to nag about on nu-merous occasions, we’d love to reunite you with it!

Chris Teal Places of Worship VisitOn the 11th February this year, 66 students and 4 staff visited the Sikh Gurdwara, The Buddhist Meditation Centre and The Trent Vineyard Church, 3 places of worship in Nottingham.

Each place of worship was completely different and it was extremely interesting to hear about how the beginnings of each religion had started, what the beliefs were and how these can still be relevant in the times we live in.

We all enjoyed a delicious freshly prepared lunch at the Gurdwara Centre and were made to feel very welcome and included.The behaviour and attitude of the students was exemplary and I was very impressed by their thoughtful questions and how they interacted with the representatives of the places of worship.

The students were considerate and respectful throughout the day and a pleasure to be with.

French Exchange: On Friday 4 April, 49 students and 4 teachers from the Collège Ste Marie, Alsace, France are visiting The Kimberley School. The French students, who study English as a foreign language, will be paired up with 49 Y9 students who study French as their foreign language. They will spend all day together taking part in the morning in a variety of cross curricular activities including baking, drama and PE. In the afternoon, the French school will do a presentation about the area they come from. A day like this gives the students the opportunity to use a foreign language as a means of communication, which is what languages are meant to be! Students also have the opportunity to make friends and stay friends thanks to social media which, in this case, break up the geographical barriers. The cultural side is also an important aspect which enriches students’ understanding of the world. Inviting a French school over for the day while on their school trip abroad, allows The KimberleySchool to offer this exciting opportunity and all its benefits to students from all backgrounds, not just to those who can afford a residential trip abroad!

Here are the results of the survey we conducted at the recent Year 8 Parents Evening - a big thank you to all those parents & carers who took time to complete it - 102 of you in total! We continue to respond to bullying as soon as we hear of it and urge all our parents/carers and students to report it immediately.

We are in the process of improving our reporting procedures and plan to have a new system in place for September 2014. We also want to develop a system to give parents access to their child’s progress data online. We aim to repeat the survey with more Year groups in the parents’ evenings coming up, so everyone can have their say.

Child Sexual Exploitation (CSE) and Parental/Carer

AwarenessI write in regard to the sensitive but important subject of child sexual exploitation (CSE). This is a topic which you may have seen or heard about through the national and local media, and which has featured in storylines on television dramas such as Eastenders and Casualty. The number of children we are aware of as being either at risk of, or actually being, sexually exploited, is relatively small. However, we do want to be pro-active in helping parents and carers to be aware of the risks that their children may meet, either face to face or virtually through social media and the internet. The Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children Board has therefore asked schools and academies to contact all parents and carers to alert them to a free on-line learning course which has been designed specifically for them. I support this request and would encourage you to complete this short introduction to the issues.

To access this course, you can go to the website:

www.safeguardingchildrenea.co.uk follow the simple registration process.

The material itself is brief, easy to navigate, and is not graphic in any way. It sensitively provides parents and carers with information on the warning signs of CSE, and also gives informa-tion on what to do if you are concerned about your child, or indeed any child. The ultimate aim is to prevent children being exploited, or for adults to recognise at an early stage that there is a potential problem. The information also gives ideas about who can help in the event of a concern. If you are concerned that your child is at risk of being sexually exploited then you can contact Children’s Social Care at the Multi-Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH) on 0300 500 80 80. In an emergency, you can of course contact the Police. You are also able to dis-cuss your child with a member of staff here at school if you have any worries.

School Meals: NCC are increasing the school meals price, with effect

from 22nd April 2014, to £2.10.

Since we last wrote, we are very proud to announce that our whole school charity running total for the academic year so far has now reached £6082!

We really do think this is such a fantastic achievement and we’re impressed with and proud of the Sixth Form students for their

outstanding efforts in making such a difference to people’s lives. How have they done it…? Here is just a small selection of

memories of how they have raised this staggering amount:

Children in Need - Nov 2013

Our most recent charity event for Sport Relief

raised an amazing £1600!

Mr Teal got into the spirit with his red bow tie on Wear Red for Emily Day! The Sixth Form Committee also ran a cake sale and raised £421 for Emily.

In December, as a result of the Christmas Candy sales, Sixth Formers raised £71 for Make A Wish Foundation; they also raised £167.60 for Save the Children with Christmas Jumper Day. On Wednesday

30 October, they successfully ran a stunningly decorated Halloween party raising over £110.

We mentioned last time that Business teacher and Year 12 tutor, Mrs Boddice, would be taking a group of students to represent Kimberley School at a national Business, Accounting and Skills Education competition, organised by the Chartered Institute of Accounting.

On Tuesday 4th March, Mrs Boddice took Charlotte Atkinson (Year 12), Nicole Attaway (Year 12), Lucy Calver (Year 13), Jade Dixon (Year 12), Sian Dixon (Year 12), Sam Foster (Year 12), Ami Del Gaudio (Year 12), Mollie Huck-erby (Year 13), Adam Price (Year 12), Jack Stackhouse (Year 12), Ryan Stephenson (Year 12) and Mason Warhurst (Year 12) to the competition where the Kimberley team earned second place! Mrs Boddice was very proud of the students and said they worked well together and delivered a confident and impressive pres-entation as part of the competition.

It sounds like there’ll be a return to next year’s competition with lots of planning and preparation!

On the subject of careers, it is that time of year again when our Year 12 students have already begun to apply for week-long Work Experience placements. They are at vary-ing stages of the process but many are set to begin in the summer in a variety of places: nurseries, a law court and a canine hydro and physiotherapy centre!

If you or anyone you know would appreciate the voluntary

help of a Year 12 student in your business, please do get

in touch and let us know.

Work Experience

Latest Charity EventsOn Thursday 13th Feb, the Sixth Form Commit-tee ran a cake sale and donated money to wear

red – in the spirit of Valentine’s Day – to raise money to support previous Kimberley student, Emily Barker, who is currently undergoing chemo-therapy. Combined with the staff cake sales on the INSET day, the efforts raised an incredible £421 for Emily.The Charity Committee also delivered over 100 pre-ordered Valentine’s roses, cards and messages to unsus-pecting student and staff recipients across school! Together, they raised £94.46 for the White Rose Hospice. The organisation and coordi-nation they’ve shown really is exemplary and we cannot thank or congratulate them enough.

Attendance & Mock ExaminationsAnother of our achievements in Sixth Form is our attendance, which we are pleased to report that at 94.4%, is above the national average of 94.1%. During our Mock Exam week in February, we had a total 99.3% attendance across the Sixth Form, which we think says a lot for the students’ working ethic and their attitude to their academic goals. An impressive amount of students studied in the Common Room throughout the February Half Term break too: the sign-in sheets were full.

Visit to Auschwitz In March, two of our Year 13 students, Yianoula Young and Louise Clarke, spent the day travelling to and visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland. The trip was organised by

The Auschwitz Project, which is an organisation that aims to raise aware-ness of the Holocaust, with a view to ensuring that the lessons of History are learnt. It was a truly remarkable experience for both girls and one that they have relayed back to their fellow students in assemblies back in school.ApprenticeshipsAs part of our Spring Tutor Programme, we had a very interesting, very well-presented session with two apprentices from Boots: one of these students was ex-pupil Samantha Artingstoll, who left Kimberley 6th Form last year with three A Levels. She is absolutely thriving in her role in Human Resources and sees a long career ahead of her. It really was fantastic to see how happy and successful she is. The presentation introduced two opportunities to the Sixth Form students. The first one is the A Level route into a Boots apprentice-ship. This apprenticeship provides students with the opportunity to study for a funded foundation degree, with the choice of continuing on into a full degree – also funded. It also starts them on a salary of £15,000. Alternatively, students can enter the Step in to Boots Programme from GCSE or other Level 2 qualifications, such as the current Admin course we run at The Kimberley School. This programme is new this year and we look forward to receiving and sharing with you further information about it. Our Spring Tutor Programme has also seen visits from our Police Schools Liaison Officer, to deliver sessions on Personal Safety, as well as representatives from Cambridge University to talk to Year 11, 12 and 13 aspiring university applicants.

The countdown to Easter sees Sixth Form focusing time and efforts onto studying and revising for national exams, which start in May. We look forward to sharing further news of achievements and

information in the Summer Term and wish you a restful Easter Bank Holiday.

An Exclusive Visit from the Minister for Education

On Friday 14th March, the Right Honour-able Michael Gove, Secretary of State for Education, came to visit The Kimberley School. As the Student Voice, we were invited to put questions to Mr Gove in an intimate Q and A session in our li-brary. We grasped this opportunity with both hands and put some tough questions to him and enjoyed get-ting some very detailed responses.

Mr Gove conveyed a keen interest in shaping youngsters for the employment markets of the future and insisted, when

challenged by Student Council member Iona Cargill (Year 9), that the EBACC had not been designed simply to “pressure children into taking certain GCSE’s so that schools can compete in league tables”, but more to prepare pupils for suitable options later on in their educational careers.Our visitor concluded that he had been “mightily impressed” by the standard of the questions we had put to him which had covered issues such as; Universi-ty Tuition fees, which he feels are an unfortunate but essential requirement of an accountable higher education system, the HS2 rail line, which Mr Gove felt would enhance commercial growth in more northern and Midland areas of the country, and school uniform which he insisted gave a sense of pride and belonging to pupils of different schools. We were all quite surprised when this secret event was announced but have since been informed by a number of members of staff, news articles in the Evening Post and The Kimberley & Eastwood Advertiser, as well as members of the wider community, that we didn’t give Mr Gove an easy ride!

• Meeting Michael Gove

• Campaigning for the removal of the poles and an extension of the pathway leading over towards Larkfields – this is now being pursued by our local councillor Jill Owen.

• We are currently working with the PE department to get new pictures placed in the main school changing rooms. Keep a look out for them in the coming weeks…..you may be featured!

• We attended the Broxtowe Youth Council meeting where we updated our local schools on our issues and took inspiration from their actions.

You can also follow updates from the Student Council via our Twitter account: @KimberleySV

Student Voice UpdateThings we have been working on this half term include:

*If you have any points you would like raising with the management of the school, don’t hesitate to contact a member of the council or Mr Clegg.

We represent you and will act with your best interests at heart*

On Tuesday the 11th February, School Council, the Eco Team and the Tutor Reps joined together to discuss how long our school days were going to be. Twenty five pupils attended the debate, all against staying longer.The Year 11’s that came said that staying for a sixth period was helping them improve on the run up to their exams. They mentioned that they were able to study and get extra support in lessons they were underachieving in. They also mentioned that they have to have a short 10 minute break before, as a three hour afternoon is tiring!Reasons against this were: “children were going home in the dark” and “some buses may not be running anymore e.t.c.”Arguments about why we should stay later were: “It gives us a chance to revise and start homework if we don’t have time at home” and “it’s easier for parents to pick us up after work.”In the end, we came to the conclusion that Year 7 and 8 have no need to stay longer; Year 9 should stay until four; Year 10 and 11 could have the option, and Sixth Form may stay for revision sessions!

Youth Parliament for Broxtowe

Hi I’m Alex, member of Youth Parliament, for Broxtowe. Since the last newsletter my term as the chair of Nottinghamshire’s Young People’s Board has come to an end. Congratu-lations to Tom Morrel from Newark on his election as chair for the coming year.

In other news, over February half term I was lucky enough to have the opportunity to visit the Europe-an Parliament in Brussels with my fellow MYPs in Nottinghamshire. Seven of us travelled to the ‘capi-tal of Europe’ to visit the Parliament and explore its structure and working.

When we first arrived, I was hit by the size of the building; the modern glass structure made the Palace of Westminster seem relatively insig-nificant in size, yet perhaps not in elegance. Once inside, we explored the history and structure of the EU which proved both interesting and engaging. In total, the European Parliament is comprised of 736 MEP (Members of European Parliament) of which Britain is allocated 73 proportionally to our population. Despite the EU first being formed in 1951, Britain was not actually a member until 1973, ten years after the French President, Charles de Gaulle vetoed our application for membership. In all, the trip was a brilliant insight into multi- national politics and I feel privileged that I was able to go, as your MYP. If you are interested in finding out more about the EU, I advise you watch this short youtube clip (www.youtube.com/watch?v=O37y-JBFRrfg) as the EU website is complex and generally boring. Thanks a lot for taking the time to read this.

Careers We got fully involved in National Careers Week in school with lots of different activities where all pupils were able to take part.There were inspiring ‘working lunch’ talks delivered by industry speakers from Experian and local entrepreneur Alison Knox, a day where all lessons started with videos about different career choices, employability skills workshops, Nottingham Trent University delivering assemblies about higher education and Year 11 were visited by local apprenticeship provider SPSP Ltd. The week was a great success and our students feel well informed about their choices for the future.

Future Captains of Industry?On 4 March, twelve sixth form students represented our school at ‘BASE’ – a national Business, Accounting and Skills Education competition organised by The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England & Wales. Students were asked to resolve a business situation, working through a business case to develop recommendations delivered via a four minute presentation, judged by industry experts. We were one of four schools selected to go through to the day’s final. Unfortunately, we were pipped at the post, being placed third overall. The group conduct-ed themselves professionally, putting their classroom learning into practice. An achievement to be very proud of!

CitizenshipThe British Red Cross spent the day in school recently, delivering sessions to raise awareness about refugees. Year groups 7 to 10 took part and asked lots of questions. Thank you and well done to you all for being so welcoming to our guests.

Personal SafetyYear 9 participated in a talk show style workshop about how to be a safe and considerate car passenger. It was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative afternoon, Jeremy Kyle style!

There was much ‘Festival Fun’ for over 200 Year 1 and 2 pupils on Wednesday 12th March. The Year 10 leaders organised the stations as part of their leadership course and were assessed on the day. They did an excellent job and remained enthusiastic throughout. Both the younger and older students really seemed to enjoy the time they spent together. Well organised Year 10.

An impressive team performance saw them record an unbeaten record and progress through to the county tournament to represent Broxtowe. There was no doubt that they should be crowned winners after some excellent passing and positional play. The wins were recorded with goals from a number of players including Beth Garner, Saskia Lewis and Tyla Asha Peters. There were two extremely impressive goals from captain Olivia Foster; who scored not once but twice from the half way line straight from the kick off.
