LS200210y3 Cit­i­zen­ship class invited Sir Roger Gale MP to watch its dodge­ball match and dance work­shop they organ­ised on 20th January.

The project was to pro­mote sport and a healthy lifestyle to the younger stu­dents. There was a great turn out with over 50 Year 7 and 8 stu­dents giv­ing up their lunchtime to play dodge­ball or dance. Mr Gale then spent time with 10y3 in their les­son talk­ing to them about the work he does and the impor­tance of work­ing as a team to achieve results.

I am really proud of what the stu­dents were able to organ­ise and put together, they should be con­grat­u­lated on a very suc­cess­ful project which con­tributes to their final cit­i­zen­ship con­trolled assessment.

Year 11 stu­dents at King Ethel­bert School in Birch­ing­ton are cel­e­brat­ing a record num­ber of GCSE passes already this year, 6 months before the final exam­i­na­tions are taken in June. Many stu­dents were entered early for maths and Eng­lish GCSE and the results were out­stand­ing. 74% of all stu­dents in year 11 have a C or above in Eng­lish and 54% have a C or above in maths. What is even more impres­sive is the num­ber of stu­dents who have made at least expected progress 6 months before the dead­line to meet that tar­get. The stu­dents have already beaten the national aver­ages for expected and above expected progress in Eng­lish and the final results for the sum­mer already look very good indeed. The school made the deci­sion to enter stu­dents in Novem­ber despite gov­ern­ment pres­sure not to. The stu­dents use the bench­mark from early entries to improve on their suc­cess and inspire them on to even bet­ter grades in the sum­mer. Head­teacher Kate Greig said “our stu­dents worked so hard to have excel­lent speak­ing and lis­ten­ing grades in Eng­lish and despite gov­ern­ment changes in Sep­tem­ber, I wanted this work to be recog­nised in their grades. I am also adamant that stu­dents should be entered for exam­i­na­tions when they are ready to find suc­cess; this then raises aspi­ra­tions and moti­vates stu­dents in the most pos­i­tive and rel­e­vant way.”

King Ethel­bert School enjoyed a VIP visit from the Edu­ca­tion and Child­care Min­is­ter, Eliz­a­beth Truss and local MPs Roger Gale and Laura Sandys, who went to dis­cover the impact that the IBcc Study Pro­gramme has had on their students.
The school runs the Inter­na­tional Bac­calau­re­ate Careers Related Cer­tifi­cate (IBcc) in the 6th form which com­bines aca­d­e­mic and voca­tional qual­i­fi­ca­tions within an inno­v­a­tive frame­work. Ms Truss, Ms Sandys and Mr Gale spoke to both cur­rent and past stu­dents about the life chang­ing impact that study­ing the IBcc has had on their aspi­ra­tions, des­ti­na­tions and careers related life skills.

jacob200Con­grat­u­la­tions to our Year 8 top project prizewin­ners:
Gold: Jacob Mid­dle­ton; Sil­ver: Jor­don Brody; Bronze: Kyra Sykes.

Pupils in Year 8 have just com­pleted “Where Eng­lish and PE Col­lide”, the home­work project for terms 1 and 2. They worked in teams in PE lessons, com­plet­ing a Sports Lead­er­ship course. They had to take on var­i­ous roles as sports lead­ers, includ­ing man­agers, media reporters, ref­er­ees and other roles. They also had to organ­ise var­i­ous sport­ing events. For the Eng­lish part, they had to carry out research on their cho­sen roles, then write to inform an audi­ence what the roles entailed. They also have to write to review their per­for­mance in two roles, and then write a sports report about one of the events they took part in.

There were some excel­lent responses. Well done Year 8!
