Dear Parents and Carers,

Leadership has been our focus for the week and Ms Saul and Ms Ramsay have launched our Leadership Award which

we hope will encourage students in all year groups to take the initiative to lead an event, a part of a lesson, an activity

at a club or contribute to a #RoseberyProud school initiative and as a result improve their organisational skills, develop

their confidence and to have a definitive impact on the way in which our school runs. It was a pleasure to meet with

the Junior Leadership Team and hear their ideas for the year ahead. This group have been trained as lesson

co‐planners and have been working very meaningfully with staff to help shape lessons which reflect the students’

learning styles and preferences. In addition they have lots of ideas for community projects and ways in which the

student body can help to improve the school environment. We have restructured our House system to give greater

opportunity for student leadership and I was delighted to see the immediate impact of this, with a fantastic House

picnic lead by our House Captains. It was brilliant to see students from all age groups sitting together, competing in

tug of war and dancing in the sunshine! (Photos on page 4).

I am grateful to all Year 11 parents who joined us for that year group’s Information Evening this week. A reminder

that there are Information Evenings for Years 12, 13, 7, 8 and 9 next week and that all the information from these is

posted on our website. I apologise that I am not able to attend all of these next week, because of clashing governor

and county meeting commitments.

As you may be aware the government provides additional funding for students who receive Free School Meals. We

know that there are many families that are eligible for these, but who do not claim for them, sometimes because they

don’t realise that they could receive this benefit. If you would like us to confirm whether you are eligible, please contact

us with your National Insurance number and we should be able to put this in place for you.

Finally huge thanks to the PSA team and Year 7 students and parents for demonstrating great resilience in attending

the picnic on Saturday on the only autumnal day of the last two weeks! Our staff link to the PSA is our Senior Teacher

Ms Saul and she goes on maternity leave today. We all wish her the very best for the next few months and look

forward to meeting the new addition to the Rosebery family!

Have a lovely weekend

Ros Allen @Rosebery HT

Glyn Surrey SCITT

September marked the exciting launch of the Glyn Surrey SCITT Programme (School‐Centred Initial Teacher Training),

which this year will be led by Rosebery in‐conjunction with SCITT partnership schools. SCITTs provide trainees with an

integrated training programme which includes: classroom experience, professional studies and subject knowledge

enhancement. SCITTs offer an alternative route into teaching and educational research suggests that school‐based

training is highly effective. Many of the trainees will be appointed as qualified teachers within SCITT partnership

schools and so the programme provides significant recruitment opportunities at a time when appointing teachers is

proving exceptionally challenging.

For 2016‐17, we have 26 trainees studying across

9 subject specialisms. Each trainee is supported by a

highly‐skilled network of experienced trainers, mentors

and assessors from across the SCITT partnership,

providing comprehensive support and guidance, as

trainees make their first steps into the profession.

During the course of the year, the SCITT hosts a number

of Get into Teaching events and the first to take place

this year is on: 18th October, 6.00pm‐8.00pm at Glyn

School. Anyone who is interested in either primary or

secondary teaching is warmly invited to attend.

If you would like further information about Initial

Teacher Training, please contact Sheena Gordon on:

[email protected].

BBC News School Report

If you are in years 7‐11 and are interested in honing your journalism skills, with a chance to work with the BBC, come to an initial meeting

on Tuesday 20th September in C12 at 1.15pm.
