Chenderit School celebrates DofE success at Buckingham Palace On 16th May 2016, Jane Cartwright, Headteacher, and Chris Davies, Duke of Edinburgh Coordinator, from Chenderit School in Middleton Cheney attended a once in a life time Duke of Edinburgh’s Award (DofE) Gold Award Presentation at Buckingham Palace, London. At the event they were presented with a special plaque from the DofE Charity by celebrity supporter Jo Malone, acknowledging the school’s commitment to running the DofE and thanking it for giving young people the opportunity to transform their lives. The DofE is celebrating its Diamond Anniversary throughout 2016, having supported millions of young people in the UK and across the globe to achieve DofE Awards since it was founded in 1956.The prestigious Gold Award Presentation at Buckingham Palace is one of many memorable events taking place to celebrate 60 years of the Charity. Members of the Royal Family; HRH The Duke of Edinburgh, HRH The Earl of Wessex and HRH The Countess ofWessex, congratulated those that were present including young Gold Award achievers, organisations that deliver the DofE and special guests such as corporate supporters and DofE Diamond Challengers, who have set themselves a personal challenge to raise money for the DofE Charity in its anniversary year. Chenderit School has been delivering the DofE for a number of years and since then, many of its young people have achieved a DofE Award after volunteering in their community, learning a skill, getting fit, going on an expedition and, for Gold, taking part in a week-long residential. Doing a DofE programme significantly impacts young people’s futures, enabling them to develop vital skills for life and work, such as confidence, commitment, resilience and team work. Widely acknowledged as the world’s leading achievement award for young people, Chenderit School holds a licence to deliver DofE programmes to anyone between the ages of 14-24 years old. Chris Davies, DofE Manager at Chenderit School attended the presentation. Speaking proudly about the school’s involvement with the DofE, Chris said: “Chenderit School has held a licence to deliver the DofE for 3 years and I feel honoured to have been invited to Buckingham Palace to receive a commemorative plaque to acknowledge and say thank you for our work with the Charity during its Diamond Anniversary year. Our young people are encouraged to push themselves outside of their comfort zones when doing their DofE and the skills that they develop can be life-changing, so for us to be involved is something very special.” Peter Westgarth, Chief Executive of the DofE Charity said: “Through the DofE, Chenderit School is inspiring the success of its young people; equipping them with the attributes and skills to get a job and build strong relationships whilst opening up their worlds and introducing them to a broad range of interests. We are truly grateful to all of our Licensed Organisations for the work that they do, they are an integral part of the DofE family, and our Diamond Anniversary is a fantastic opportunity to say thank you.” Currently, there are over 300,000 young people doing a DofE programme across the UK through a variety of centres including both state and independent schools, special schools, businesses, prisons, young offender institutions, housing associations and youth groups. To celebrate its 60th year, the Charity has launched the DofE Diamond Challenge.This one-off initiative allows people of all ages to take on a DofE inspired challenge and earn their Diamond Pin. Signing up toThe DofE Diamond Challenge has an amazing double benefit – whilst challenging yourself, pushing your boundaries, you’re also raising money for the DofE Charity so that it can transform the lives of more young people and offer free places and bursary grants to those most in need. Visit www.DofE.org for more information about the DofE, and to find out how you can support the Charity in its Diamond Anniversary year, go to www.DofEDiamondChallenge.org. From the Head I offer all in our community a warm welcome to the new academic year and am especially pleased to be able to welcome our new Y7 and Y12 students and their families to the school. I hope this newsletter gives everyone a flavour of the work and the range of activities we undertake at Chenderit and that the students in particular are inspired by all that is available to them. You may have seen my blogs or the news in the local press about our recent A level and GCSE successes. At A Level, we are again celebrating very many successes, marking another year of strong academic and personal achievements for students at our school. 23% of all results are graded A* or A (improved from the 20% achieved last year) with 48% of all results graded A*, A or B (against an aspirational target of 44%). Of course, there are many tales of personal success that go unreported and so I am thrilled for all of our A level students who, with the support of parents/carers and staff, achieved superb results and secured many excellent post 18 destinations, including places at the University of Oxford and within the very competitive field of medicine. At GCSE we are delighted to report that 68% of the 171Year 11 students achieved 5 or more GCSEs at grades A*-C grades, with 60% of all students achieving 5 GCSEs including English and maths. The new progress 8 measure shows that the school’s students made more than expected progress overall and performed in line with the fabulous achievements of students in 2015. For me, these results mark a year of excellent academic and personal achievements for Key Stage 4 and Post 16 students, demonstrate that our school provides high quality education to students in this area and, very importantly, shows that our students are challenged and supported to achieve their very best. Of course, exam results are only part of the story! This year, once again, we have a range of extra-curricular opportunities on offer which I urge you to explore on our website – please encourage your child(ren) to get involved in activities beyond the classroom if this isn’t something they would usually engage with. Some of the many benefits include: learning time management and prioritising skills; getting involved in diverse interests; learning about long term commitments; making a positive contribution to the school community; raising one’s own self esteem; building solid relationship skills and of course, involvement beyond the classroom always looks good on future applications! I hope this edition of Intouch provides you with a great sense of all that Chenderit is and I look forward to meeting with many of you during this school year but, in the meantime, I extend my very best wishes to all for another successful school year. Jane Cartwright Headteacher SEPTEMBER 2016 “Revolution” is this year’s opening exhibition at The Michael Heseltine Gallery at Chenderit School. The exhibition documents and celebrates responses to Chenderit School’s 2016 Summer Assignment, which challenged students and staff alike to “make the world a better place”. This is a “must-see” exhibition, with an immense “feel good” factor. If ever you have doubted the power of art and education to change lives for the better, this is the exhibition for you.

YMT isa charity based company that helps young performers across the UKand Ireland reach their full potential and showcase their amazing talentat a national level. We asked Kiran a few questions about it:

The whole processtook three hours and took place in the Pegasus Theatre, Oxford – I had tolearn a dance, perform a song and recite part of a script. Many auditionswere held around the UK; over 1000 auditioned with a mere 300 accepted.”

What show are you doing?“The show is called ‘Maelstrøm’; it is about a mannequin with a camera as itrecords its journey down a whirlpool in the ocean. When I am there I will be

working with many professionals and meeting many other young performers like me. The show is performedtwice after a two week long course at Aberdeen College, starting on the 23rd July.”

What will happen after the show?“At the end of the course I will have achieved aTrinity Grade 8 for MusicalTheatre in Production. As well as beingaccepted onto the course, the grade will also look impressive on my CV. After the event, I will have many moreconnections with others that are competing in the industry; this will be beneficial for the future. Overall, this is anamazing opportunity and I hope many more will follow. I am extremely excited to see what the future holds!”

Since September 2003, Chenderit School hasbeen fortunate to be one of only a handful ofschools in the country to have its very ownpurpose built gallery. The gallery was built tocoincide with the school being awarded“Specialist Status” in the visual arts and itsconstruction was sponsored by altruistic localbusinesses as well as a special government grant.

The gallery has hosted some fabulous exhibitions inthat time: internationally renowned artists such asPeter Blake and Eduardo Paolozzi; great British artistssuch as Ian Murphy and P.J. Crook and legendarylocal artists such as Caroline Chappell andThe OxfordPrintmakers. As such, the gallery is a focal point forthe visual arts within the Chenderit community andbeyond, as well as providing inspiration to the artstudents in the school. Our gallery has beendescribed as a hidden gem of Banburyshire –sometimes overlooked because of its rural locationand school setting.

Now that extra funding for specialist status schoolshas been withdrawn by the government, Chenderitis looking to find alternative ideas for the successfulrunning of the school’s gallery. We are hoping torecruit a team of enthusiastic and interestedindividuals to work together to ensure the gallerycontinues to be an inspiration to our students,parents and the wider community and to work withthe Art Department to developthe gallery provision.

If you, or someone you know,would like to be involved, or isinterested enough to find outmore, or would simply like tojoin the mailing list to beinformed of up and comingexhibitions, please contact:Maureen [email protected]

Our Gallery needs your help...

Chenderit welcomed 176Year 6 students for 4 daysThey came from 26 different primary schools.The studentsfolloweda timetable, found theirway around school, used thecanteen and made new friends.

German Exchange to Fallersleben Gymnasium, Wolfsburg

Between Saturday 14th and Saturday 21st May, 33 Year 8 and Year 9 students travelled toFallersleben, near Wolfsburg, Germany for the second leg of the German Exchange.They wereformally welcomed to the school by the Headteacher, Mrs. Akkermann, who spoke passionatelyand proudly about the exchange between Fallersleben and Chenderit which has now beenrunning for three decades.This was also a special occasion for our German partner school whichhas just celebrated its fortieth anniversary.

The students spent the week staying with their German host families and went on a range ofexcursions with Chenderit staff; a highlight of which was a day at the Heidepark theme park with theirexchange partners. Other visits included the Harz Mountains and the historic town of Wernigerodeand its castle, a tour of the former border betweenWest and East Germany at Helmstedt-Marienbron,and a visit to theVolkswagen Auto-Stadt factory which also included a guided tour. The group wasalso invited to meet the mayor of Fallersleben at the town’s castle and the local press was there toreport on the event.

The exchange programme offers students the chance to explore new cultures, practise theirlanguage skills in an authentic environment and hopefully they will now have a new friend for life.Many of the participants have chosen German as a GCSE option and came back feeling inspired andenthusiastic about their future German studies.

A huge thank you to all staff, students and parents for their support of the German exchange this year

Year 9 and 10 French ExchangeAt the end of May, some Chenderit Y9 and 10 students welcomed the return of their French partners following our tripto our Normandy partner school in March. They played host for the week and involved them in a range of activitiesoutside school, for example trips to Stratford, London, Cadbury’sWorld and several trips to the bowling alley.

The French students also visited Oxford, Christ Church, Warwick Castle and Waddesdon Manor.Added to this, they spent one day creating an animation film to represent their imaginary trip toEngland. Thank you to Mr Osborne for leading this!

The French students enjoyed the welcome and kindness showed to them during their trip on whathas been a very successful French Exchange and the English students will hopefully continue theFrench links they have made for some time to come. Mrs Cochran

Year 7 perform French songs for new Year 6In July the school welcomed its newYear 7 students (currentYear 6) for their transition weekto prepare them for starting school, an important part of this week included the Year 6-7Transition Evening for parents. A group of our currentYear 7 students were on hand to performa pop song in French for our new students; they had been chosen for this event due to havingwon theYear 7 Francovision singing contest in the school earlier in the academic year.

The MFL department conducted the project in the autumn term to motivate and inspire students intheir learning of languages and it was very positively received.The performance for our newYear 6-7parents was also very successful and the students were excellent ambassadors for language learningbut also for the school as a whole. Many thanks to: Mrs. Cochran, Mrs. Boothman and Miss. Hunterfor their help with this event.

MFL IN THE NEWS... Year 7BlackCountryMuseumTripAll of Year 7 visited theBlack Country Museumin Dudley at the end ofApril as an introductionto their Year 7 Historycourse in the summer term. Hosted by guides in costume,Year 7 were shown how people lived from the late 19th toearly 20th century.

We put on hard hats to go ‘down the mine’.We received a lessonin timetables and handwriting in the Victorian school. We evenvisited a range of shops and factories from a pharmacy to ananimal trap maker, from a public house to a hardware store. Somechildren had the chance to playVictorian street games or even eat‘dripping fried’ traditional fish and chips. Since returning to schoolthis experience has been an invaluable shared experience toexplain the living conditions of people in the past.

Year 7 CampStaffordshire was the venue forYear 7 camp this year. Weall slept under canvas. Students were given the opportunityto work with others from across the year group, makingnew friends. Many of the activities allowed for teambuilding. All students experienced new activities whichrequired resilience.They included a climbing wall, low ropesand high ropes, raft building and archery. One half day wastaken up by a 5-mile hike which all students completedwhich involved map reading to navigate their way.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good. All students (and staff!)had to develop ways to keep dry and positive. The centre wasproactive and provided us all with a warm hall, hot chocolate anddry water proofs. All the students kept cheerful and with trueBritish spirit just got on with it.They are all to be congratulated.

Year9Camp50% attendanceBetween 20th and 24th June, Year 9s attended HighAdventure Forest Camp within the heart of Cheshire; all ofthe students took part in a wide variety of activities inmixed groups and socialising with others.

Our experience at year nine camp was incredible. The activitiesranged from water sports, orienteering to high ropes andclimbing, as well as the opportunity tomake new friends andmeetnew people. Some of our favourite parts were the team activitieswhich allowed us to interact with each other; one of theseactivities was the raft building where we had to work together tocreate a stable raft. Many of us fell in to the lake pulling others into join us. One of the most memorable things was theindependence which we experienced as well as the responsibility.This all started in the morning when we had to prepare our ownlunch and wash our dishes andmugs, it then went on throughoutthe day where we had to keep our tents clean as well asourselves. We spent our free time socialising and laughing withothers, as well as taking part in the highly entertaining eveningactivities. Lastly we would like to thank the teachers, governors,sixth formers, and parents whomade this experience possible. Aspecial thanks can go to the sixth formers, Megan Button, EmmaWhitehouse, Amy Passey, Ellie Scarlett, as well as the staff, MrDavis, Miss Bruce, Mr Williamson, Mr Scott (school governor),and a special thanks to Mr Fitton who took charge and organisedarrangements and events leading up to the trip. All staff fromChenderit and High Adventure where extremely helpful andprovided twenty four hour care. We highly recommend thisopportunity to others within the school to go!

Thalia Stinton, Jena Hay, AnneYoung (Students)

Years 8/9 Bowling TripOn 12th July Ms Boothman and Mrs Rigby (Head ofYear 9), tutors Mrs Kennedy, Miss Montague, MrsWilden, Mrs Bagga and Miss Ball all accompanied the following students to the MFA Bowl in Banbury:Year 8: Aliza Rahman, Charlie Jay, Alexander Hay, Gemma Howe, Morgan Dennison, Lily-MayWebster, Athina Basio, Caitlin Donohoe, Kelly Newman, MatthewMarsella, Megan Oberholzer, EthanMorgan and Ella ManningYear 9: Luke Sutton, Hannah Prew, Lucia Mullings, Nicole Bulworthy, MegHart, Emily Hudson, Ethan Smith, Jacob Gray, Rebecca Glenn, Max Reeves, Hannah Woodcock,Naomi Dibb, Milly Ayres and Charlie Bracke.

The students were chosen by their tutors for their excellent attendance, SIMS logs or for being aSchool Council representative. A fun time was had by all, bowling and playing on the other games onoffer and even the teachers joined in!We are hoping to run a similar trip next year so students need to focuson achieving as many positive SIMS awards as they can.

Positive SIMSAs we begin a new school year, staff at Chenderit would like to celebrate the successes of those students who achieved particularly high numbers of positiveSIMs and no (or very, very few) negative SIMs during 2015-2016; listed below are the most outstanding students from each year half (7-11). Students achievepositive SIMs in recognition for their good progress, positive attitudes, outstanding work, contributions to both lessons and our school community and formany more reasons than it is possible to list here. I sincerely hope that all students and their families feel a sense of great pride and accomplishment for theseachievements and are commended by all for what is truly praiseworthy.

As we begin a new school year, please be aware that it is our intention to inform parents about how many positive and negative SIMs your child has achieved since 1stSeptember 2016 through the academic reports we shall be sending home during the year.

ExamsFrom 4th July 2016 I took over the role of the Examinations Manager and I would liketo take this opportunity to thankMrsKnight for her support in the handover of the role.

Please note my contact details supplied. If any student, parent or carer has anyquestions or general queries regarding exams then please feel free to contact me.

I will be working closely with all staff in the school to ensure all the exam arrangementsrun as smoothly as possible in the ever changing process.

MicrobitIn July 2016 students in year 7 had the opportunityto program a Micro Bit. They have used aweb-based programming interface to do manythings, including flashing up numbers, letters andscrolling messages on the LEDs. Plus, sincethere’s a built-in accelerometer and compass, itcan detect movement and tell us which way it’spointing.

It has on-board Bluetooth, so it can communicatewith other Bluetooth devices including tablets,cameras and the increasing number of smart homegadgets. There are also five rings which work withcrocodile clips or 4mm banana plugs. Using these,students can attach more sensors includingthermometers, moisture sensors, proximity sensorsand more.

The Micro Bit can also act like a USB flash drive whenconnected to a PC or phone so programs can bedragged and dropped onto it and its power comesfrom two AAA batteries.

This summer many students have set themselvesprojects to develop and build practical solutions toreal life problems. For more information please go tohttps://www.microbit.co.uk/

We have recently installed ‘Impero’ across thewhole school network to allow us to enhance ourprotection of students when they are working andusing the internet. The software empowersteachers to be able to control features for all PC’s,Macs and laptops. It also enables teachers todemonstrate and distribute work and messagesto multiple student computers.

Healthy EatingHealthy EatingWeek is a nationwide initiative run by the British NutritionFoundation and is aimed at students in KS1, 2 and 3. We decided to takethe opportunity to participate in this event this year, primarily toencourage our students to make healthier eating choices, particularlywhen at school.

The school canteen devised a newmenu for the week with some really differentmeals, but also with healthier twists on student favourites such as piling thevegetables on top of pizzas. Our brilliant year 10 Food Technology groupagreed to participate in the week and worked with students in KS3 during some tutor times. We baked somehealthy treats during the week with a vegetable theme (think sweet potato brownies and parsnip and applecake!) and ran a little competition to see if students (and teachers) could identify the mystery ingredients.

A year 8 FoodTechnology group participated in a BNF “cook along” during their lesson and made fruity burgersand coleslaw. It was really encouraging to see students trying new foods at break and lunchtime andmany healthiereating discussions taking place amongst the students.We work throughout the year with students, teaching foodpreparation skills and an awareness of the relationship between food and health.We truly believe that this improveslearning and longer life chances. We look forward to cooking with our students again this year and participatingin Healthy EatingWeek 2017.

Future Olympian!FEVA 2016 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS INWEYMOUTH

Kate Byne (Year 9 student) has been sailing since theage of 8, she sails all year round and took part in thewinter squad training last winter, which helps withfitness levels and techniques.

There are a lot of classroom sessions as well as hours ofsailing. The classroom sessions include food, hydration,exercise and fitness testing, relaxation, team building andtalks from Olympic sailors/coaches on their experiencesgood and bad. The squads consist of 10-15 children from allover the UK. Her most distant sailing friend is in Melbourne,Australia and they regularly keep in touch via e-mail.

Over the May Bank Holiday Kate attendedThe RS Feva National Championships and Euro Cup took placeover 4 days from 28th – 31st May 2016 at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.This event isheld each year at different locations around the country.

Kate did exceedingly well and we are so proud. She (with her team mate) were only 4 places behind theEuropean andWorld Champions, and spent most of the event head to head on points with them. Kate hasproven to be a very good sailor. There was almost no preparation or the event as the team was sailingdifferent classes of boat during the lead up to this event.

DeddingtonWriting CompetitionThe English Department is very proud of four year7 students who were shortlisted in a writingcompetition this term. Charlotte Bowman, RosieGee, Martha Gardiner andYeva Maynard all wrote500 word stories based on the theme ‘A Fork inthe Road’ for the DeddingtonWriting competition.

The stories covered varying themes (from weddingsto post-apocalyptic worlds) and used impressiveimagery and vocabulary. The students were invitedto the awards ceremony and all four stories have beenpublished. Well done!

100%Attendance 2015/16WHY IS GOOD ATTENDANCEIMPORTANT?

Good attendance at school is vital for students toachieve their full educational potential. Students withgood attendance records benefit in the following ways:

� Continuity of learning which makes progresseasier

� Improved performance in classwork andhomework tasks

� Enhanced performance in examinations� Continuity of relationships and friendships� Good references for further and higher

education, apprenticeships or employment� Good habits are formed for later life.

WHAT CONSTITUTES GOODATTENDANCE?

An attendance percentage needs to be in the high ninetiesbefore it can be considered good. Consider the followingexamples over the course of a school year:

10 days absence:95% ATTENDANCE = 50 LESSONS MISSED20 days absence:89% ATTENDANCE = 100 LESSONS MISSED29 days absence:85% ATTENDANCE = 145 LESSONS MISSED38 days absence:80% ATTENDANCE = 190 LESSONS MISSED47 days absence:75% ATTENDANCE = 235 LESSONS MISSED

Research states that having 20 days off school (89%attendance) every year means that a student will probablyobtain a whole grade lower in their exams than they arereally capable of. Students with less than 85% attendanceare unlikely to gain 5 A*-C GCSE qualifications. Missing 19days (90% attendance) every year over 10 years of aschool life = 1 whole year of school.

In order for an attendance record to be good it must be96% or above:100% = EXCELLENT ATTENDANCE98% = VERY GOOD ATTENDANCE96% = GOOD ATTENDANCE

Each year, a large number of students in every year group achieve 100% attendance,showing that this is an achievable target. To the end of summer term, the followingstudents are to be congratulated for having 100% ATTENDANCE:

South Northants & Daventry SchoolSport PartnershipCHENDERIT SCHOOL CLUSTER PRIMARIES

The summer term was a little less busy this year, due to the inclement weather meaning bothrounders and theYear 3 and 4 Quadkids athletics competitions had to be cancelled.

However, we hadYear 5 and 6 Quadkids competitions, which is a team competition with 5 girls and5 boys from each school competing in 4 athletic events (long jump, vortex throw, 600m and 75m).There were many individual winners, but the overall team competition was won by ChippingWarden.

ChippingWarden were also successful in the cricket festival, which took place in glorious sunshineearly on in the summer term.

St. Loys Primary Academy went to the Schools Summer Games representing South Northants andDaventry in the ‘Change4life’ sessions.

“Wide range of well organised clustercompetitions provides friendly, stimulatingopportunity for a wide number of studentsto experience intra school competitions.”

“Wonderful to see older students actingas role models and showing theopportunities younger students can have.”

“The parents at our school have commented on howwonderful it is that children fromYear1 upwards get to take part in PE activities at their local school. It puts Chenderit on themap and keeps it at the forefront of their minds when thinking about choosing secondaryplaces for their children.The sports leaders are a brilliant face for the school as they areso well behaved and approachable to parents and children alike. It is a real strength of.Chenderit which makes it stand out as a super secondary school.”
