Risedale Review April 2017

A new governing body is being formed at Risedale Sports and Community College as a Federation which helped raise standards comes to an end.

Northallerton College invited Risedale Sports and Community College to join its ranks in 2009. Since then the Northallerton and Catterick Federation has seen Risedale emerge from special measures to be ranked as good by Ofsted last year thanks to the sharing of expertise, ethos and learning culture.

On 1st April 2017 Northallerton School and Sixth Form College, as it is now known, and Risedale went their separate ways to pursue different goals at a time of sweeping changes in education. Colin Scott, Risedale Principal, announced the end of the partnership saying it was with "sadness and regret, but with great excitement for the future".

He added: "The Federation Governors agreed last month that the benefit of the partnership, seeing Risedale go from special measures to good by the support of Northallerton, has now run its course. Over time we have become two very different schools with very different needs for the future success of each establishment. The strong ties and partnerships we have established over the years will not be forgotten or lost. There will still be things we share with each other, as we do with other schools, and we look forward to continuing our partnership working in the positive ways we have always done."

“Five parents and staff of the school have already been elected to form a new board of governors responsible solely for Risedale. They first meeting was held on Monday 3rd April where a further six governors were co-opted to form the full governing body of 11 people”.

He added: "I look forward to our future where our journey will be one of growth and academic success. I know I share with you our wish for Northallerton School and Sixth Form College to also see success in its future, wherever that may take it."

Northallerton School and Sixth Form College head teacher Chris Byrne said: "This is very much part of the natural evolution of both schools. We were delighted to support Risedale in its hour of need but now it is rated good the governors and leadership teams agree the partnership has run it course, though the links we have forged over the years will remain useful."

Mr Byrne added that, “Risedale Sports and Community College was a unique school facing an exciting future serving the needs of a garrison town that was experiencing massive growth. For us this provides the opportunity to explore different collaborations that would better suit the young people of Northallerton and the surrounding villages.”

Plans for a reconfiguration have already been drawn up in Northallerton. From September the bulk of students will move to the 'college site' in Grammar School Lane leaving the former Allertonshire School as a Year 7 centre to aid the transition from primary to secondary education.

This is about improving the quality of our provision and focussing our resources more effectively," said Mr Byrne. "This will provide a more consistent experience for our young people. The dedicated Year 7 team will be able to bridge the gap better between Key Stages 2 and 3 and we are working hard with our feeder primary schools to avoid any stall in children's education and learning experience."

Students and staff at Risedale Sports and Community College have raised an impressive £3,555.52 for charity since the start of this academic year in a bid to help the local community and those less fortunate than themselves with regular charity events, such as supermarket bag packs, cake sales, the delivery of Christmas goodies and non-uniform days.

The good causes Risedale has supported include Macmillan Cancer Support, Jeans for Genes, Children in Need, Save the Children, World Book Day, Comic Relief and a local charity – St John’s Community Centre in Shute Road, Catterick Garrison.

The Student Council has worked in partnership with Assistant Principal Samantha Wood coordinating activities and events for the whole school to take part in.

Mrs Wood said: “Thinking of the needs of others and the practical steps we can take to help them is a really important part of the Risedale culture. Our students learn to value what they have and appreciate that diversity makes our lives richer. This week the school is flying the rainbow flag raising awareness of the LGBTQA community reminding us all of the importance of fair treatment and equal opportunities for all, no matter your sexual orientation, age, culture or social background. We’re already planning our next event, collecting new toothbrushes to support the work of Mercy Ships in countries where medical facilities are not readily available. If you feel this is something you can support us with we would welcome your toothbrush donations”.

Risedale’s Principal Colin Scott said: “It’s absolutely fantastic. Our students have surpassed themselves – I’m so proud of their efforts. Risedale’s outstanding contributions to local and national charities are a testament to the students’ hard work and commitment to others.”

Working Together to Support Local and National Charities

Helping others in our community

Shoppers at Tesco in Catterick Garrison

were given a helping hand by students

and staff from Risedale Sports &

Community College on Saturday 4th

February 2017. By the end of the day the

bag pack had raised an incredible £788

for local charity St John's Community

Centre.

Risedale students eagerly packed bags

and shook their collection buckets in a

bid to raise as much money as possible

for the worthwhile local charity.

Colin Scott, Risedale Principal said: "Our

students thoroughly enjoyed the day and

were a credit to the school! We are all so proud to see them working so hard for their local community,

giving up their own time and thinking of others."

Samantha Wood, Assistant Principal said: "We've had such positive feedback from the public. So many people

commented on how cheerful and well-mannered our students were. We would like to thank everyone at the

store for making us feel so welcome and of course the generous shoppers too."

St John's, in Shute Road, Catterick Garrison, supports members of the local community enabling them to

continue to enjoy an independent life in a professionally supported, caring environment. Jacqueline

Brakenberry of St John's thanked all the staff & children involved saying, “It was a wonderful gesture. WOW!!

Well done everyone you are all superstars, what a magnificent amount of money raised. Being a small local

charity we are always dependent on the generosity of the community. I would like to say a big thank you to

all of you from everyone at St John's Community Centre".

On Wednesday 15th March students from Risedale Sports & Community College visited St John’s Community

Centre to present the cheque for £788. Students were welcomed by Deirdre Edgar, Chair of St John’s, and

Sue Griffiths, Day Service Co-ordinator. They spent time explaining to the students what services and support

were offered at St John’s and how important this facility was for the local residents of Catterick Garrison.

Deirdre accepted the cheque on behalf of

everyone at St John’s. She said: “I can’t thank

you all enough for all your hard work and

giving up your free time to raise money and

help others.”

Samantha Wood said: “It was lovely for the

students that took part in the bag pack to

actually see where the money they raised

would be going & who it would be benefitting.

We are already thinking of ways that Risedale

& St. John’s can work together in

the future to support our

community.”

Catterick news

The Head Boy and Head Girl at Risedale Sports

and Community College greeted Princess Anne as

she visited Catterick Garrison in March.

Year 11 students David Bulmer and Binita Gurung

met the Princess Royal as her Sikorsky S76C

helicopter touched down on Risedale’s Jaffa

playing field at lunchtime.

Risedale’s Principal Colin Scott welcomed Princess

Anne to Catterick and introduced her to David and

Binita before she was whisked away to an

engagement within the garrison.

Head Boy David said: “It was a once in lifetime

opportunity and I was really proud to represent

Risedale today.”

Head Girl Binita added: “I didn’t think that would

ever happen to me. It was such a privilege to meet

Princess Anne”.

Students from Risedale Sports & Community College attended an exhibition at Catterick Garrison Library in

March, as part of the Creative Residencies Project 2016 with artist/photographer Guy Carpenter (Gullwing

Photography).

At the beginning of the project in October, Year 10 Art students took part in a number of street photography

workshops at Catterick Library with Guy Carpenter picking up some fantastic tips for their own photography

work whilst contributing to the community photography project, culminating in a book being published

showcasing their unique work. All the photographs are of local people and places from around the Garrison

and the book is a testament to all the students’ hard work and creative skills.

Military equipment that saved thousands of lives in Iraq

and Afghanistan has been helping North Yorkshire

schoolchildren with their lessons. Pupils from Risedale were

shown how to use the Vallon metal detector by Sergeant

Major Mark Hill, 4th Infantry Brigade's Youth Engagement

Officer. They learnt how to sweep for objects in a large

field in Catterick Garrison turning up a variety of metal bits

and pieces.

The Vallon detectors were used on operations to search for

explosive devices. Now the equipment has proved its versatility by featuring as part of an Army community

engagement initiative with Risedale.

"Learning how to operate a metal detector helps the pupils learn about geography, geology, physics,

electricity and electronics," said Sergeant Major Hill. This S.T.E.M (Science, Technology, Engineering and

Maths) session helps young people become independent, creative and is a great way to get hands-on activity

outside the classroom which is both fun and educational."

Risedale’s Student Support Manager for Learning Years 7 to 11, Helen Porritt, said that the pupils had enjoyed

the metal detecting. "They have been buzzing about this activity all week and have had lots of fun today. As

well as the links to their school work, they have found lots of buried 'treasure'.”

Learning with the Military

Risedale pupils discover the treasure of knowledge

On Wednesday 15th March Year 7 Food Technology students were visited by a Naval Chef, Martin of the

Royal Navy Youth Engagement Programme. He helped the students and together they each made a delicious

vegetable soup to take home. Martin showed the students how to safely peel and chop their vegetables and

also some new preparation and cooking methods.

At the end of the lesson students were given the opportunity to ask Martin questions about his job. They

found out he loves his job because it always keeps him busy and because he loves the camaraderie between

his colleagues. The students even found out that he has had the privilege of cooking for the Queen and he

told them that she eats very small portions!

Martin was very impressed by the level of maturity and positive work ethic between students. He said, “I had a

great time with the students”.

It's fair to say the Year 7’s

had a blast too learning

about Martin, his career

and the fact that he is an

actual serving chef in the

Royal Navy.

Thanks Martin!

Risedale students help to keep our roads safe

On Friday 25th November 10 students from Risedale Sports &

Community College assisted Catterick Garrison Tesco shoppers

in checking their cars as part of Brake National Road Safety week

& 95 Alive Road Wise campaign promoting safer road use in

North Yorkshire.

Students worked alongside North Yorkshire Fire & Rescue

Community Safety Officer Alyson Down & NYCC Road Safety

Officer Marie Brown, checking the tyres, lights and wiper blades

of customers' vehicles & making them aware of any defects that

may have been found.

Alyson Down said, "The Risedale kids were brilliant! Between them they checked 20 cars and gave advice to 4

people who had tyres that needed changing, something they might not otherwise have known. People were

very complimentary about the service the students offered and I was really pleased by how keen and

engaged they were. I was so impressed by the students' interpersonal skills, particularly Natasha Connolly

(Year 9), who was really confident and very engaging. I'm sure the number of cars she checked was directly

related to her confidence in approaching members of the public to offer the checking service and how well

she articulated what the students were doing and why. I am sure we will see her on The Apprentice at some

point in the future!"

Staff & students at Risedale look forward to further projects collaborating with Community Safety Officer

Alyson Down, working together to support our local community.

Student Eryn Williams and Teaching Assistant Yvonne Deighton both

from Risedale Sports and Community College had individual

successes at Crufts 2017 in Birmingham.

Eryn is 11 years old and in Year 7 at Risedale and has been handling

her family dog, Golden Retriever Laci, for just over 2 years trying as

hard as possible to qualify for Crufts. Eryn is a member of the Young

Kennel Club and last year qualified to handle at Crufts 2017. On

Saturday 10th March the pair were awarded fourth place in their

breed class and third place in the YKC Gundog six to 11-year-old handling class.

Mum Mhairi said, “I’m very proud of how far she has come and what she has achieved in the two years she

has been showing. She had an amazing bond with our dog and they work amazingly well together. Eryn also

handles other dogs at shows when called upon.”

Another owner enjoying success at Crufts was Risedale Teaching Assistant Yvonne Deighton who showed her

Hungarian wirehaired vizslas, Lily and Flora. Yvonne said “I had a fantastic day at Crufts this year. Lily won her

limit class and Flora came third in the Junior class. All in all a long but thoroughly enjoyable day.”

Risedale Principal Colin Scott commented, “It’s fantastic to see such talent and achievement from Risedale’s

students and staff. I admire Eryn and Yvonne’s dedication and wish them both every success for their future

endeavours.”

Success at Crufts

Outside the classroom

Working with our local Primary Schools

Carnagill Science Fair: On Tuesday 4th April, 11 of our

most keen and enthusiastic scientists in Years 7-9

visited Carnagill Community Primary School to give

practical demonstrations of science experiments to

engage and inspire a younger audience.

They set up experiments and demonstrations in the hall

and spent the afternoon teaching the children and their

parents about some key scientific ideas.

Ewan Thomson, Teacher of Science said, “As always our

pupils were a credit to themselves and the college”.

Further collaborations are planned for later in the year.

Racing to School

Year 8 students had a great day out at

Catterick Racecourse in November

with ‘Racing to School’, an education

programme offered to schoolchildren,

delivered at racecourses, trainers’

yards and studs across Great Britain.

The programme enriches a range of

National Curriculum subjects, sparks

interest in the sport of horseracing

and opens minds to the many

different career opportunities within

the industry. A great day was had by

all!

Saltmine Theatre Company

The Saltmine Theatre Company visited Risedale in

March working in partnership with North Yorkshire

County Council.

Students in Years 8, 9 and 10 watched a show called

"Stand For It" performed by the cast of Saltmine and

then took part in a workshop about anti-extremism.

Laura Dunphy Head of PSCHEe and Teacher of Science

said, “The staff and students had a great time and it was

a valuable learning experience”.

Students suffering from long term illnesses at Risedale Sports

& Community College have been able to take their lessons

while recovering at home thanks to the internet.

Year 11 students Laura Middleton and Kieran Sinnott are in

their final year at Risedale and have both been able to

successfully take part in lessons from home.

Initially, staff worked with Laura and her mum to set up a

virtual connection using Google Hangouts, a

communications service that allows members to initiate and

participate in text, voice or video chats, either one-on-one or

in a group.

Other students at school were able to help Laura by directing

the laptop camera so she had the best view of what was

happening in the classroom.

Samantha Wood, Assistant Principal and one of Laura’s

teachers, said, “It was amazing to be able to teach Laura along-

side her classmates and know that she wasn’t missing out on her learning at this crucial time. Everyone in the

class was so eager to help, she was able to ask questions of other students and share her ideas. Having her

with us via this new technology really invigorated their learning experience too.”

Louise Penniston, Laura’s Mum, was delighted with the efforts that the school had made, going the extra mile

for her daughter and ensuring the best possible outcome for her upcoming GCSES exams.

“Laura is off school for several weeks, but her school is great and they have taken the time to get their

computers connected so now she can be part of the lessons – it’s amazing.”

Risedale Principal Colin Scott said: “This is a great service that we can offer to students when they are most in

need. Good attendance is of the up-most importance at Risedale, but it is reassuring to know that we are now

able to support our students even when they are unable to be with us in the classroom. Every student matters

at Risedale”.

A friendly welcome at Risedale - by Gabriella Davies

Upon arriving at Risedale, I found that I was quite scared. Being a military child means moving around a lot

and losing friends and it’s not the nicest thing but once I came here, that changed. The staff here are really

kind and supportive and do their best to make you happy as well as making you feel at home. The buddy

system meant that I had someone that could show me around and make sure that I was on time for lessons

as well as making sure that I did not get lost.

Current students are also very welcoming to new students and many will have gone through the same

moving process so they understand how you feel and act how they would want to be treated. Pupils and staff

both make you feel like a part of the Risedale family.

There are many activities to do here like chess club, drama, film and board games that really are fun and

entertaining. This is in addition to the sports clubs such as cheerleading, football and hockey. All of these

events taking place makes it quite easy for a new pupil to find something that they enjoy and meet people of

a similar mind to themselves.

Student thoughts...

Do you have to be Perfect to be a Prefect? - by Joseph Weaver

Being a Prefect is a responsibility that some get

the opportunity to tackle, but what does it take to

be one?

Prefects are the role-models of the school; they

are people that not only younger students can

look to, but people that everyone can look up to.

Some have a high level of skill in their lessons, but

it isn’t always about being the best. Having a

positive attitude to learning is just as important

and is what students should be aiming for, and

this is the kind of attitude that can get you into

being a Prefect.

Some responsibilities that Prefects have to take

on are: helping teachers with sessions such as

assemblies or parents evenings; looking out for

other students and acting as a guide for those

who need it as well as representing the school as

the role-models of the other students. These are

just some things that Prefects do. They also get

insight into other things going on in school and

work along with the Student Council to make the

school a positive learning environment.

So ‘do you have to be Perfect to be a Prefect’?

The answer is no! Effort and a positive attitude

can also get you into the position, and this should

be an aim for all students.

Growth Mindset - by Lydia Almond

Since September there has been a push on ‘Growth Mindset’ with a focus on effort and

determination. This is being positive in your work and how you approach your work. The

opposite of a growth mindset is a fixed mindset. People with a fixed mindset believe that

they cannot improve at a subject or that they cannot do something e.g. “I can’t draw”.

The aim of growth mindset is to be more confident in what you can do. Accept that you

cannot do everything instantly and instead work on improving and understanding how to do

something. This has led to the phrase “I can’t do it…. Yet”.

Confidence is key to all of this. If you believe that it is possible you will often surprise yourself. It’s learning

that making a mistake is not always a bad thing, it will often show you what you need to change to do it right

next time. It is hard to accept that sometimes you will fail, but by building your resilience to failing you will set

yourself up to succeed. At Risedale we now understand that failing is a step on the road to success.

Many students that I have spoken to agree that they now have a more positive attitude towards their learning

and that they feel more confident in trying tasks that they would have thought was beyond them before.

New minibus for Risedale

Girls Football at Risedale - by Cerys Cox

For the past few months, Risedale’s Year 9 and 10 girls have

been a part of a football team representing the school. There

have been ups and downs but overall the team have worked

brilliantly together and always encourage one another to do

their best. We are definitely a team with a growth mindest!

The girls in the team are: Megan Bain, Lauren Differ, Cerys Cox,

Kiti Nacamavuto, Sushana Thapa Magar, Lottie Fegan, Hollie

Upton, Erelia Rakaria, Litia Tuisavura and Emily Beadle.

On Thursday 30th March 2017 the girls team attended a

county football tournament hosted at Risedale and ended up

coming second place overall, with only a three point goal difference between second and first place.

Special credit goes to: Hayley Morgan, Amber Hunniford, Bethany-Anne Creek, Zoe Wharton and Jennifer

Wharton for giving up their time to score in both the under 13’s and 15’s matches.

Mrs Ullyott had this to say about the girls team, “The Risedale girls showed true spirit and played to their best

potential in each role. I am very proud of their attitude to each other and the respect they showed

throughout the tournament”.

Women of the match went to Lauren Differ and Megan Bain. Even though all girls played to their best ability,

Megan and Lauren had both played well throughout the day and succeeded in scoring the winning goals to

secure Risedale’s second place spot.

On the road again

In October students and staff at Risedale were very excited to take delivery of their new school minibus! The

minibus is proving to be a great resource for our students and the wider Catterick community.

Keep an eye out for us around the Garrison! Thank-you to Eyecatching Signs for all their hard work and

Celebrating sporting success

Celebrating sporting success

Elliot Done - Remember the name!

Success continues for Risedale's very own National

Schoolboy Champion Boxer, Elliot Done (9 Walls) the young

Catterick Garrison boxer who finished 2016 unbeaten and

started 2017 with a bang.

Elliot triumphed in his seventh boxing match of 2016 in a

fight held at Windsor before Christmas. His opponent was a

very strong and experienced competitor from the Midlands

but Elliot won with a unanimous points victory finishing off

2016 with an unbeaten record of seven wins from seven

fights. On Saturday 18th March Elliot had his first bout of

2017 in Darlington against an opponent from Selby in

Yorkshire. He got off to a great start by stopping his

opponent with a first round technical knockout win after a

blistering combination of punches that were just too much

for his opponent to take.

Simon Done, Elliot’s father, thanked Risedale students and

staff for their continued support.

In October Elliot had the opportunity to meet professional

boxer Tasif Khan, International Masters Bantam-Weight

Champion, WBU (World Boxing Union) and GBU (Global Boxing Union) World Super-Fly-Weight Champion.

Elliot and Tasif chatted as if they were old friends; talking about their achievements and sharing training tips.

Tasif spoke passionately about his experience in the world of boxing and his words were of great

encouragement and motivation to Elliot.

The two fighters were brought together by Sergeant Major Mark Hill MBE, Army Youth Engagement Officer,

who helps to co-ordinate lots of activities for Risedale students delivering STEM sessions – ‘inspiring youth

and releasing potential’. Mark said, “It was an inspirational meeting of two magnificent sportsmen!”.

Colin Scott, Risedale’s Principal, wished the young fighter every success for the future. He added: ”It’s great to

hear good news of what the Catterick young people are capable of accomplishing. Keep up the good work

Elliot.”

Thinking about the future

Y10 visit to Sage - by Roy McCormack Head of ICT

Sage are an international company that make accounting software. Initially there was a little bit of confusion

amongst the students who thought we were going to the Sage theatre and maybe a tinge of disappointment

that we weren’t going on stage or seeing Adele in concert! However, visiting Sage software company was

inspirational to say the least.

Accountancy software may seem a boring area for teenagers,

especially in a world of XBOX One and PS4 next generation

consoles but how wrong were they. Firstly, the building was

incredible. It was several four story buildings connected by a huge

atrium with a massive glass roof. There was all sorts scattered

throughout the atrium; large multiple screen displays, conference

areas, touch screen displays, a café and a cash machine. Our

students absolutely loved exploring this life beyond school.

Our tour included meeting some of the 200 programmers

employed by Sage to create their accountancy software. As we

were introduced to each group of programmers. Most of the

programmers had been to university but they had studied a range

of courses. They had ended up as programmers because they had

a passion for programming as a hobby that eventually lead them

into applying for a job at Sage because they enjoyed it so much.

Each programmer worked within small teams that produced a small part of the program. Part of each team

included a designer whose sole job was to make the programmers code have attractive graphics when it

came to adding it to the final program. What was so engaging for the students was to hear that all the

programmers have a passion for their work and loved their

job with Sage.

We also got a glimpse into the future. Their next biggest

focus will be on A.I. (Artificial Intelligence). If you keep up with

tech you’ll know that this is one of the big buzz words at the

moment. They want to create accountancy software that will

interact with the user. The idea is that the user will talk to the

software, letting it know what transactions have taken place,

and the software will update the accounts sheet

automatically. The program is in its infancy but it’s incredibly

exciting to see the research in action.

So, what did we learn? Maybe that by teaching computer

science in school we are preparing our students for a future

where technology is going to play a major role in their lives

or maybe that we are creating tomorrow’s programmers who

are going to be programming specialists rather than people

who liked programming and stumbled into a programming

job. There is speculation that the next generation of blue

collar workers will be programmers and not production line

factory workers. Perhaps, in ten years, a job application

question will be “What computer languages are you familiar

with?”

A great start for our DofE students

In February students from Risedale went on

their first DofE practise walk; a 4mile loop

starting and finishing at Mainsgill

Farmshop. They practised navigation skills

and all did brilliantly. The weather was great

and we all had lovely refreshments from the

tea shop after. Well done to all!

The DofE is the world’s leading youth

Girls in Engineering

Y9 visit to Teesside University - by Mark Carter Head of Maths

To celebrate International Women's Day, 11 Year 9 students were invited

to spend the day at Teesside University, exploring the different jobs

undertaken by engineers.

It is shocking to learn that the field of engineering remains a male

dominated profession. One of the aims of the day was to demonstrate

how women could be just as successful in this field.

Later on in the day, the students were able to demonstrate their own

considerable talents, by taking part in practical, engineering tasks.

The highlight of the day was when the groups were asked to create

'bug' robots from scratch, using basic instructions and a lot of soldering!

At the end of the sessions, all students were able to take home a

working 'bug', which followed a light source across any surface. The

students were very grateful to Mrs Hughes for her soldering training

from back in Year 8.
