The Year 7 Hal­loween party was a phe­nom­e­nal suc­cess, rais­ing over £200 for char­ity!!! A mas­sive thank you to all of the staff that helped out, espe­cially Miss Rebera, Miss Day and Mr New­man who took part in the Trick or Treat/​Bush tucker trial. We were all a bit shocked that all three staff mem­bers ate all insects that were placed in front of them! We had amaz­ing music, fan­tas­tic face paint­ing, bril­liant fancy dress cos­tumes and even time for ‘the best mummy’ competition.
A great evening was had by all — well done Year 7!

stratford photo 200On the 2nd Octo­ber, Mrs O’Shea, Mrs Gold­ing and I took a trip to Strat­ford Upon Avon to begin our train­ing with RSC Prac­ti­tion­ers, Miles Tandy and Rachel Gart­side. All extremely excited, we couldn’t wait to arrive at the RSC Clore learn­ing cen­tre early Fri­day morn­ing. The first play we looked at approach­ing was Love’s Labour’s Won(Much Ado About Noth­ing.) The active learn­ing strate­gies were great fun and we loved work­ing with the teach­ers from other Hub schools. On Fri­day evening, we were able to see the pre­view per­for­mance of Love’s Labour’s Won at the RSC The­atre which was set in War­wick­shire in 1918. It was a fan­tas­tic per­for­mance and by see­ing the play live, we devel­oped a much bet­ter under­stand­ing of char­ac­ters, plot and themes. Sat­ur­day morn­ing we begun with review­ing the play that we had seen and dis­cussing the moments we remem­bered, just as stu­dents would do. We then begun to look at ways of approach­ing Two Gen­tle­men of Verona, activ­i­ties included: cre­at­ing tableaus for key quo­ta­tions, lis­ten­ing to music to set the scene, chas­ing a dog around a table and explor­ing themes of the play.

PBuckley200

On Fri­day 12th Sep­tem­ber ITV Merid­ian news arrived in force at King Ethel­bert School in Birch­ing­ton to award the Pride of Britain award for the fundraiser of the year for the South East of Eng­land to Pat Buck­ley. Pat Buck­ley was short­listed down to the last four with each final­ist being given a slot on Merid­ian news each evening last week. The win­ner was decided by a panel of judges who made their deci­sion after watch­ing the films that had been made about the way they were help­ing change com­mu­ni­ties by their fundrais­ing initiatives.
All 4 final­ists were wor­thy win­ners but Pat Buck­ley, a res­i­dent of Birch­ing­ton and a teacher at King Ethel­bert School for over 38 years, was the man who cap­tured the judges hearts.
Pat has been rais­ing money through the Enjewel India project at King Ethel­bert for over 10 years. Every two years a num­ber of stu­dents from the Enjewel team which heads up the school’s fundrais­ing in order to gather together as much money as they can for the Aids Orphan­age in Goa, India. This year the stu­dents, all year 10 pupils from King Ethel­bert, have raised a stag­ger­ing £30,000 to present to the orphan­age in India to try to give these chil­dren some­thing to make their lives hap­pier and more ful­filled. Over the years Pat has raised nearly £200,000 and has taken over 50 stu­dents from King Ethel­bert to visit these chil­dren and to make a dif­fer­ence to their lives. It is thanks to Pat’s fundrais­ing activ­i­ties that there is now an exten­sion on the orphan­age which bears the plaque ‘With thanks to our friends at King Ethel­bert, Birch­ing­ton, Thanet, Eng­land.’ Pat and his Enjewel teams raise the money by car­ry­ing out a whole range of fundrais­ing activ­i­ties includ­ing zoomba classes, bike rides, jum­ble sales, raf­fles, spon­sored events and any other event that brings the peo­ple of Thanet together to raise money for this wor­thy cause.

gcse results photo200

For the sec­ond year run­ning, King Ethel­bert School are cel­e­brat­ing extra­or­di­nary GCSE results. 62% of their Year 11 stu­dents gained five GCSEs at C grade or above includ­ing Maths and Eng­lish (74% of stu­dents gained a C or above in Eng­lish and 67% of stu­dents gained a C or above in maths). Last year, the school was the most improved in Kent and the best non selec­tive in Thanet on 54%. This year, the value of voca­tional sub­jects has changed and it has been much harder for stu­dents to gain five good passes. There­fore, King Ethelbert’s suc­cess is even more remark­able given this context.
Stu­dents who achieved par­tic­u­lar suc­cess were:
Georgina Ander­son – 2 x A*, 7 x A, 2 x B, 1 x C
Megan Cather­all – 4 x A*, 2 x A, 5 x B
Kieran Duck­worth – 4 x A, 5 x B, 4 x C
Chanelle Last – 1 x A*, 7 x A, 5 x B,
Emily Last – 3 x A*, 3 x A, 5 x B, 2 x C
Reece Mab­ber­ley – 2 x A, 6 x B, 1 x C
Charli Nichol­son – 2 x A*, 2 x A, 6 x B, 1 x C
Gre­gory Nocen­tini – 2 x A*, 1 x A, 4 x B, 5 x C
Han­nah Scott – 2 x A*, 3 x A, 4 x B, 3 x C
Ellyn Seely – 2 x A*, 2 x A, 8 x B
Reece Ward – 3 x A*, 4 x A, 6 x B
