NEW PRINCIPAL APPOINTED

The Governors are pleased to announce that they have now appointed a successor to our Headteacher Mrs Judy McBlain, who is leaving Stanchester at the end of the summer term.

From 1st September the new Principal (please note the change of title) will be Mr Jason Beardmore, currently Headteacher at Woodfield Academy in Redditch, Worcestershire.  Before moving there he was Vice Principal at Honiton Community College in Devon and has a teaching background in Modern Foreign Languages.

There will be a chance for parents to get to know Mr Beardmore at a “Meet the new Principal” evening early in the autumn term and details will be available nearer the time.

Parking at Stanchester

Having sought legal advice and following discussions with the Regional Manager of 1610 Sports Centres we are now able to confirm that Stanchester parents are allowed to park in the Sports Centre Car Park when visiting the school or collecting students at the end of the school day.

We appreciate your understanding over the past 2 days whilst we have been working to resolve the unfortunate situation that we have been put in.

Thank you

Athletics Stars

On Saturday 8 June, Stanchester athletes were competing in the Somerset Schools Track and Field Championships at Mudford Rec.

Winning performances came from Kris Caines (Inter Boys Pole Vault), Jamie Croucher (Junior Boys High Jump) and Elliott Berryman (Junior Boys Discus). They are now County Champions and achieved the County Standard in their respective events.

Amy D’Arcy also achieved the County Standard time in the Junior Girls 800m, and Sam Sommerville achieved the Entry Standard time in the Inter Boys 800m.

All 5 athletes have all qualified for the South West Championships in their events (Sam Sommerville’s event has changed to the Steeplechase).

Brett Harrison suffered a hamstring injury during his 100m heat but still managed to be placed in the final however in the final, his injury made him pull up and hobble over in 3rd place.  This also meant that he had to pull out of the 200m race. In previous years, Brett has qualified for the South West Championships in both races and had he not received this injury, was sure he would have qualified again for the 3rd year in a row.
