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.

Exam Preparation

As we are now entering the busy exam season, we would advise that students should now be spending at least an hour each day to revise and prepare for this very important time.

Students should come to each examination with the correct equipment which is 2 black pens, a pencil, eraser, ruler and calculator for Maths and Science.

We are offering revision sessions across subject areas and would recommend that, alongside the revision, students eat and drink healthily (ensuring they have breakfast) and make sure of getting plenty of sleep.

We wish all our students the very best at this crucial time.

Student takes on the Ten Tors

10tors

Ten Tors is a hard, challenging event that requires a lot of time, effort and enthusiasm.  Alex Merrett has spent many weekends since last October training on Dartmoor.  Ten Tors consists of 3 different routes – 35 mile, 45 mile and 55 mile.  This year was Alex’s second year of the 35 mile route and he was selected to be Team Leader which was a huge role for him.  Well done to Alex.

Moonwalk Marathon

On Saturday 11th May Mrs Hughes, Miss Jacklin and Miss Cornish took part in the London MoonWalk Marathon in aid of Breast Cancer Research.  17,000 people power walked their way across London overnight to raise awareness and raise money for this very good cause.

Our girls crossed the line in just over 8 hours and raised just over £600 for the charity.  Mrs Hughes said “It was a very emotional experience and an event I certainly hope to support again in the future.”

Year 6 enjoy Maths Workshop

Year6_Maths_WorkshopOver the past couple of weeks, 14 Year 6 students have been visiting Stanchester to work on their problem solving skills in Maths.

Each student was paired with a Year 8 Gifted & Talented Maths student to act as a teacher and mentor. Both the Year 6′s and 8′s had lots of fun working through different tasks and then designing their own Theme Parks.

A massive thank-you to the students and staff of Martock Primary and Castle Primary, as well as our wonderful Year 8 students who were great teachers and role models for our September students.

Students plant a tree in memory of Georgie Googan

Mr Kirk, Year 7 tutor and friends of Georgie planted a tree on 18 April (Georgie’s birthday) in her memory.  As purple was Georgie’s favourite colour, our Green Enterpise group also planted beautiful purple pansies around the base of the tree.

We hope this will provide a place for Georgie’s friends to spend time and remember her.
