Concerns and rumours

grow as the sixth form

leader continued absence

Lauren Wyatt reports.

Miss Myford,

Head of the Sixth Form,

seems to have disap-

peared over the last cou-

ple of weeks. Day to day

management has been

handled effectively by the

resident sixth form office staff and an invisible

email force called J. Myford. But as the days pass

concerns are mounting because of the many is-

sues that she is responsible for taking care of.

Like all leaders, Miss Myford is the sub-

ject of rumour and speculation. While there are

more wild reports of that she has run away and is

not coming back, or that that she has got en-

gaged to her child hood sweet-heart. One sixth

form student claims I was minding my own busi-

ness when I saw the shadow of a smallish lady,

over heaped with bags and a small backpack,

something Miss Myford, is well known for, the

student continued When I looked around, no

one was there but a common squirrel Has Miss

Myford been living the luscious life of the Secret

Squirrel? Or could this creature simply be a mere

minion in her grasp, sent to keep an eye on us

while shes on her road trip of a lifetime?

There has also been a rumour that our

beloved head of Sixth Form has stepped

down from her thrown and is letting Mr.

Rowlands and take over as head of year.

However, sources say the occupant of

Room One has sent an invitation to outer

beings to abduct Miss Myford, thus ar-

ranging his own rise the throne.

Without Miss Myford, Mr Row-

lands will take over and there is little to

stop his rule. Does this mean that Mr.

Rowlands is responsible for changing our

Sixth Form and disrupting the students?

Has the power he has been given has

gone to his head? Will the sixth form be

powerless to stop him?

MISSING MISS MYFORD??

Heres my ID

Wheres

Yours?!By Jermaine Lynch

Calamity has recently emerged in the

study rooms, classrooms and corridors

after the new ID law was enforced. Stu-

dents have been sent back to their

houses, or even labelled as idiots for

forgetting there student IDs.

(Continued on Page 2)

Head Boy Tolga. Leader or Loser?Tolga Kuyucuoglu has ambitious plans for the future of our sixth form, but will he overcome the major hurdles that he approaches?

The CHFS senior student put his leadership skills to the test, when he organised his first event, Valentines Week, for all the school sweet

hearts. The week consisted of smaller events such as Cake selling, Rose Selling and a Leg waxing event for the 6th form. His commitment

for the sixth form definitely showed as 130 was raised, which is planned to be shared between the sixth form and for our end of year

prom.

The plans for prom, represents the biggest shake-up in CHFS prom history, as the Head boy has ideas of moving away from Wool-

ston manor, the place where prom has taken place for years, to somewhere in central London, specifically The Venue Constellation. He

still has several obstacles to clear before he can sign his decision into the Sixth form books.Tolga continues to plan a better sixth form, as he has also been gathering ideas to change the common room-to provide a more

comfortable environment with the money raised and continue raising. He tackles a prime situation which many have tried and failed, but

we shall see the outcomes by midsummer.

So, is the new senior student a leader or loser? You be the judge.

Jennifer Francis reflects on how

the current Sixth Form does not

reflect the freedom for students

that it once did.

Sixth-form, the last two years of your high

school experience, older siblings fill your

head with tales of mischief that happen

during one of their many free periods,

whilst you sit in a classroom all day. Every-

one in the school envies you: No uniform,free periods, unlimited canteen access its

what you spend the first five years working

towards. You just cant wait for that sense

of freedom that comes with the title

Sixth-Former, you even get a badge to

finalise the title.

Well thats how it used to be be-

fore the class of 2008 took up residence in

the sixth-forms hallowed halls, so the ques-

tion here is why did it all changed?

I asked a few former students

from Chadwell Heath sixth form, what their

year group was like. My year was jokes,

we werent the best students and always

turned up late, nobody seemed to mind

Past student Deborah Francis commented.They were alright with us, and on rare

occasions moaned about the printer or

eating food Davina David said after I

asked her what the sixth-form secretaries

were like during her time here.

After informing both alumnis

about the current sixth form situation, they

thought it was strange and couldnt say

why it all changed, as both of their two

years in the sixth form was everything they

had been told it was and more. Perhaps

the school had been planning to comedown hard on the sixth form and the class

of 2008 drew the short straw.

Smarten up theStudy Rooms

The Chadwell Heath Sixth Form has been re-

designed in the last three years with 2 study

rooms available for the sixth formers. Study

rooms are available for students to use at all

times. However, the issue is that not all stu-

dents happy with the current atmosphere

and environment of the study rooms.

There are over 200 students

in the sixth form and its important that all

sixth formers need a more comfortable and

welcoming place to study. Yet many feel that

this is not currently the case.With the big study room changing to

the silent study room for compulsory stu-

dents, it has given the students the initiative

to get their work done in peace. However,

most students have criticised it being a

Prison. Even students who are not on com-

pulsory study, who want to get a little work

done feel as they are being treated unfairly as

they are shouted at for leaving the room. It is

a common mistake for the supervisor of this

quiet study area to make, though not at the

expense of innocent students self-

confidence.Current sixth form student Ben Rob-

erts stated that the big study rooms feels

like youre in trouble but the small one is

okay. With all the expense spent on the

study rooms, it seems as though our sixth

formers want a study room that perhaps is a

little cosier. With the choice of sitting on the

hard chairs in the relaxed study room or theeven harder chairs of the canteen, its not

just raging hormones making current sixth-

formers feel irritable.

Student call for staff ID Badges (Continued from Page 1)

Although this implementation of the ID badges is in the best interests of the students,

and their safety, many pupils are not satisfied with the fact in one respect teachers

themselves dont wear any form of ID. Are random adults too not a threat to ones

safety? With the number of student teachers working in the school, and builders work-

ing in multiple areas around the school, clear identification is a bigger issue than just

the sixth form.

6th

form tutor Vicki Edwards says I think everyone should wear them as it pro-

motes, and gives a sense of belonging, encouraging students to wear them also. It

would be a good idea to introduce them lower down the school and that it will stop

teacher student conflict.

6th

form receptionist Mrs Gough said I dont know everybody and when I see

some people I am not rude to them, but I say who are you? Redbridge college security

guards will not let anyone in at all if they do not present ID even teachers! Mrs Leem-

ing said when I go to my sons opening evening every teacher has an ID badge saying,

who they are and what they teach. Although this approach will cost a little bit of

money, this could

Student Peace Oseyenum says We always wait until something bad happens

before enforcing rules. For example we are currently made to wear ID badges because

of an incident that took place in lower school a couple of weeks ago. Therefore teach-

ers should be made to wear ID badges now to prevent any future incidents.

Big Changes In the Sixth form Study Room

P A G E 3V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

Sandeep Singh Reports on the Sixth

Forms recent redesign

There have been big changes

in Chadwell heath study rooms withthe introduction of cubicles and the

restrictions on the internet blocking

YouTube and Facebook.

Management staffs in the

sixth form have no stopped students

having access to YouTube and Face-

book in the school, apart from the

Media Department who have special

privileges to use unrestricted internet.

Many students are not happy

with this as YouTube is widely used for

entertainment and for work. Last year,face book was used by both students

and teachers, it was something to do

in the free time that we had. Initially

the restrictions on the internet was

thought to be done to stop students

being distracted however after speak-

ing to Mr Rowlands (head of IT) the

internet was to increase bandwidth

for the rest for the rest of the school

The rest of the school has benefited

from the increase in bandwidth The

restrictions on the internet have only

been done to increase the speed of

the internet for the rest of the school.

As we all know the studyrooms have been split in two. One is

for working, and is monitored by

teachers. The other is for students to

spend there times when not working.

Cubicles have now been put

in place, it has been done to help stu-

dents focus on the work and stop

them from being distracted, and also

more computers are being put in the

study rooms.

Whether this will help will be

seen over the coming months. This

has been done in many schools and

has worked effectively said Mr Row-

lands.

me from doing my work. Could the

restriction on the use of internet have a

negative effect on educational attain-

ment?

Gurbash Panse also stated I

understand why the school may see this

as a potential problem since the stu-

dents would use their study time to go

on these websites and waste valuable

learning time however he said, Yet I

still believe A-level students are inde-

pendent and should be allowed to make

their own decisions.

An anonymous source stated,

The school is doing this for their own

personal use, it is only urging students

to find ways of unblocking it They also

talked about issues regarding the server.

The school should get a better server,

since we have a right to internet, if they

can spend money on buying unneces-

sary things around the school then they

can buy a decent server.

Statistics show 90% of stu-

dents states it was a drawback, with

only 10% thinking it was beneficial. So is

this in favour of the schools internet

server, or the students?

Devpal Semi reports on the ongoing prob-

lems with internet censorship in the Sixth

From

Is restricting access of the internet

likely to benefit students? This appears to

be the motive of the Chadwell Heath Foun-

dation School. The issues regarding the

internet and the block on many websites

such as, Facebook and Youtube seem to be

an ongoing issue. Like other concerns

around the school, there seems to be an

upstaging battle between teachers and

students.

This problem started in December prior to

the A-Level exams. It was seen as a good

idea considering the importance of the ex-

ams. The concern has expanded since the

restriction of internet has continued de-

spite exams being over.

John Rowlands, the head of the ict

department said, The restriction is based

mostly on the band width with the schools

internet server, it is only able to handle so

many people using the internet.

Upper Sixth form student Vanisha

Patel stated, I think it is absolutely terrible,

because I feel sites such as Youtube, Face-

book and other websites can be educa-

tional as well as for our own pleasure she

continued to say the blockage of websites

limits our social life.

Sandeep Talafair a lower sixth

form student shared the same opinion, but

from the perspective of his school work. He

said When Im doing my P.E coursework, I

click on a link and it is blocked so it stops

From the Editor Mr Shakhovskoy

The Sheufuess is the product of an A2 Media Studies class as part of their prepa-

ration for their final exams contemporary issues in modern media. Students

have been studying the changes in Journalistic values and were challenged to

try and produce news stories that were in the Public Interest of their sixth form

community. They had one week to research, interview and write up their re-

ports making sure that their facts were straight and their quotes accurate. They

faced the difficult prospect of creating a newspaper for an audience who dont

usually read them and managed to combine serious news reporting with a voice

that appealed to their audience. What has been produced reflects the interests,

concerns, attitudes and sense of humour of the current sixth form and is a

credit to their curious and questioning minds, their courage, tenacity and occa-

sionally their creative writing skills.

Fear Strikes University Applicants

Worry hits CHFS year 13

UCAS applicants this year

with the fear of getting re-

jected from their chosen

universities

2010 has been a stress-

ful time for university appli-

cants as they doubt that they

will get into university this year,

resulting in them taking a gap

year, and having to get a job.

Students all over the world

want to further their education

and expand their knowledge

but are afraid they will not get

a chance to do this. Not only do

students want to go to univer-

sity to broaden their knowledge

they also want to go for the life

experience that university has

to offer.

I have asked a few stu-

dents if they are planning on

going to university this year and

why. Zaynah aged 17 re-

sponded Yes I have chosen to

go university this year because I

want to increase my chances of

getting a better paid job and

because I know soon A level

qualifications wont mean

much - like the way GCSE's

have become and having a de-

gree will provide me with more

value.

Nadine aged 18 said,

Yes Im looking forward to go-

ing to university to study more

but mostly to experience uni-

versity life, and meet lots of

different people, and to hope-

fully help me become more

independent as I want to live

away from home.

Last year in 2009 up to

135,000 candidates were still

battling to secure a place in

their chosen university and

nearly 30,000 more than the

same point in 2008. But the

numbers available in clearing,

the system used to allocateleftover places, is estimated to

have halved to 22,000.

Figures out today show

almost an 8% increase (about

42,000) in applications for full-

time study at university, the

biggest in eight years. The re-

cession and rising unemploy-

ment have been blamed for the

increase.

The high number of

applications will mean that pu-

pils who are offered places on

popular courses who do not

attain their predicted grades

will have less room for ma-

noeuvre.

I asked students if they

felt the chances to get into uni-

versity were limited and Mat-thew W said yes it is harder

because students all around

the world want to go to univer-

sity to get a successful educa-

tion and places are limited.

Zeenat aged 17 said,

yes there is because there are

more international students

wanting to go to university and

get a better education rather

than just work.

Dont Panic, Its Just

More Classrooms

After months of planning and building it has finally

come to light what is actually being built above the

art department. So break off your deals with the Sun

and fire your Private Investigators because Im about

to reveal the inside scoop that will blow your mind.

Well, it wont actually blow your mind but I can an-

swer the question that has been eating away at your

soul for the past few months.

There has been much speculation as to what

was being built on the left wing of the school. It

seemed to be such a secretive project, no one had

any idea what was actually being built there. Some

had suspicions it was going to be food tech class-

rooms, whilst others suspected a secretive spy train-

ing centre Its just so weird, no one seems to know a

thing thats happening. I only noticed a couple of

weeks in to building that there was actually scaffold-

ing around the art department says a student in

lower sixth.Now that there is a second structure forming

there seems to be more word on the project. Raji

Kaur Singh, a year 13 studying art A level in-

formed me that I think theyre going to be

made into more art classrooms and rooms 12

and 13 are going to be turned into ICT class-

rooms. The teachers seem to be informed of

the project also Essentially there is going to

be another level of classrooms said Ms Joh-nan. So it seems the secrecy of the new build-

ing work is revealed.

To get the actual intel on the project I

spoke with Ms Bargetto, the head of the art

department. She informed me that There is

going to be two large art classrooms, a textiles

classroom and a graphics classroom. Theyre

going to be really big and have brand new fa-

cilities such as new computers and a better

printing machine. I asked her whether there

were going to be food technology classrooms

and she said Thats just a rumour goingaround; it has not been confirmed yet. Hope-

fully the new facilities will encourage more

students to take art subjects for GCSE and A

level. It all sounds pretty exciting and is going

to be finished for the new school year in Sep-

tember, so unfortunately those in the upper

sixth wont get to see it. However if there are

food technology classrooms next year at least

we can rejoice in the fact that because of the

healthy eating schemes, they wont be making

anything good such as cookies.

No Common Room

P A G E 2V O L U M E 1 , I S S U E 1

By Stephanie Skinner

With the changes that have been

made to the sixth form block in the

past couple of years, it has left the

students with two study rooms and an

old, cold canteen, but where is our

common room that most schools seem

to have?

Common rooms should be a place

where students can socialise, feel

comfortable and relax during their free

periods. I know teachers would say

that it would distract students from

work that they should be doing but

maybe if we had this place to go we

would concentrate more in classes and

put more effort into the work that we

do do in free periods. At the mo-

ment, there are two study rooms,

one silent, and the other a

common room. Both include

computers, books and hard chairs!

A place that current student Jeyda

Plummer refers to as an o.k place

to work but not to rest the mind

after a heavy lesson. Other stu-dents agree that having a more

comfy common room would make

Where have the chocolate donuts gone?By Jeyda Plummer and Charlotte

Heath

Over the past three years the Chadwell

Heath canteen has dramatically

changed. Thanks to Jamie Oliverschools all over the country are trying

to make their canteen food healthier.

Since then, the Chadwell Heath canteen

have gotten rid of their vending ma-

chines, fizzy drinks and their very much

loved chocolate donuts.

However the response has

been very positive, students and teach-

ers seem to think its better for the

school as a whole.

One student 'Sharika Bukhory'

says "i like it, because its introducing

healthier food for children and its giv-

ing them the option to widen their un-

derstanding of food".

Although the food is a lot

healthier, every so often it would be

nice to have treats, like the old deli-

cious chocolate doughnuts, which the

canteen used to sell.

The pupils at Chadwell Heath

Foundation School, work extremely

hard, and perhaps it could be consid-

ered by the school, to occasionallybring back much loved treats, which

the canteen used to offer, another stu-

dent Stephanie Skinner said that The

food is healthier and nice to eat, but it

would be nice to occasionally see some

treats in the canteen.

It is appreciated that the canteen has

made a conscious effort in making the

food healthier, however there are not

many tasty treats, like chocolate bars

and doughnuts not that we expect

these to be in the canteen everyday,but it would be much appreciated by

pupils if these treats could be on offer

in our canteen, every so often.

Automatic doors? I

think NOT!Steven Brown investigates the auto-

matic in`s and out`s of the Chadwell

Heath Sixth Form

Over the last 4 months, students at

CHFS have found themselves endlessly

waiting for automatic doors to open. At

the beginning of September, the sixth

form block decided to not use their

automatic doors due to a bitter draft

making me cold says Miss Gough, sixth

form secretary.

At certain times during the

school day, a continuous flow of eager,

young students rush in and out of the

doors that are supposed to be auto-

matic, making access to the sixth form

block tricky and painful. A student, Mat-

thew Burcombe says Its ridiculous!

The canteen now only stocks healthy eating options.

Sometimes I am late for lesson, because

some idiot is blocking the doorway! Mat-

thew then went on and informed us of

the fact that only one door actually opens

fully, making the one failure even bigger.

The main concern of this issue is

the worry that new, external students will

end up waiting hours on end for the lying,

non-automatic doors to open when we all

know they actually wont. Statistics byCDC (playground injuries) support Tins-

worth`s (2001) report on 45% of play-

ground injuries being knocks and bruises.

A student, who wished to con-

ceal his/her identity quoted All of our

luxuries are being taken away from us bit

by bit [] and now, we have to pull open

a door which 4 months ago, always

opened for me!! [] to be honest, its

outrageous!

As the summer season ap-

proaches, interviews are being processed

with several members of staff. The hopes

of the students now remain with Terry

the caretaker who could chose to either

save us from the heavy, energy-

consuming doors, thus, boosting our

grades. What do we want? We want

automatic doors that actually do what

they say on the tin! Its useless, false ad-

vertisement having doors which lie and

dont open automatically for us. Justice

can be found by either removing the

sticker claiming the doors are automatic,

or of course, making the doors open for

us, each and every time someone wants

access to the sixth form block.

The food is health-

ier and nice to eat,

but it would be nice

to occasionally see

some treats in the

canteen.
