We did it!<br />
<strong>2012</strong> was another record breaking year for our students. With 81% of our Year<br />
11 students gaining at least 5A*-C qualifications, Results Day in August was a<br />
special day and a great celebration of what our students achieved.<br />
To see the culmination of all the hard work, translated into results, was a joy<br />
and students, parents and staff gathered together to witness the opening of<br />
envelopes and the reactions that followed. There were some tears – but those of<br />
joy as students realised they had achieved the qualifications they needed for the<br />
next stage of their education.<br />
Students were rewarded and their achievement recognised in our Achievements<br />
Evening in November. The ceremony involved presentations of subject prizes as<br />
well as those that recognised wider contributions to school life.<br />
The Headteacher’s Award was presented to Matthew Harwood for excellent<br />
academic achievement. Matthew gained 6A* and 3 A grades. Lauren Chandler,<br />
who received the Teachers’ Special Award for personal achievement, also gained<br />
6A* and 3 A grades. The Governors’ Special Award for contribution to whole<br />
school life was presented to Laura Wells by Eric Dawson, Chair of the Governing<br />
Body. Laura was involved in raising awareness of charities and performing<br />
in school productions, as well as making a large contribution to the National<br />
Citizens’ Summer school –for which she received an award and represented<br />
Gloucestershire. Georgina Moore received the progress award for determination<br />
to reach her targets in year 11.<br />
The Humanities Award cup was presented to Amelia Glendinning for outstanding<br />
academic achievement in all three Humanities subjects – geography, history and<br />
religious studies (grades A, A and A*). The Performing<br />
Arts Award recognised Janneke Bax-Pratt’s contribution<br />
to performing arts at <strong>Maidenhill</strong> –from roles in<br />
productions to leading workshops for younger students.<br />
The Tom Moore Trophy for contribution to Extra<br />
Curricular sporting activity was presented to Matthew<br />
Maryon and Kirby Young.<br />
The evening was enjoyed by students, parents and staff.<br />
After the ceremony catering students served delicious<br />
canapés that they had prepared in lessons.<br />

HEADTEACHER’S<br />
UPDATE<br />
In the middle of November we<br />
had our first glimpse of what<br />
the face-lift to the main building<br />
is going to look like and how<br />
different it is going to be, both<br />
externally and internally. We look<br />
forward to having a warm and fresh<br />
environment, when we begin to use<br />
the first three improved classrooms<br />
in January. Phase two will see the<br />
development of our two new ICT<br />
suites, which will be both large<br />
and airy, and provide an excellent<br />
facility for our students.<br />
During the October holiday,<br />
improvements were also made to<br />
the dining room enabling a speedier<br />
and more efficient service. I am<br />
pleased to see students taking<br />
advantage of our new Breakfast<br />
Club which is open to all students,<br />
as it is widely recognised<br />
that breakfast plays an<br />
important part in students’<br />
ability to learn and behave<br />
well in a morning. For this<br />
reason we have made our<br />
breakfast provision free to<br />
students who receive free<br />
school meals.<br />
We were delighted to<br />
welcome back our former<br />
Year 11 students for our<br />
annual Achievements<br />
Evening on 14th November.<br />
The event was a welldeserved<br />
celebration<br />
of their successful time<br />
at <strong>Maidenhill</strong> and their<br />
impressive results in<br />
August. It was a great opportunity<br />
for students to meet up with old<br />
friends and swap stories of where<br />
they are now and what they are<br />
doing as confident and successful<br />
young adults. We look forward<br />
to celebrating with our current<br />
Year 11, a year from now!<br />
We try to keep you informed of<br />
all that is going on via letters,<br />
newsletters, the web-site and<br />
text messages. Please do take a<br />
look at the web-site regularly and<br />
remember to keep us informed<br />
if you change your contact /<br />
mobile details.<br />
I look forward to seeing you<br />
throughout the year at Parents’<br />
Evenings, plays, concerts and<br />
other events.<br />
Mrs P Wilson<br />
From the Chair<br />
of Governors<br />
would like to introduce myself<br />
I to you as the newly elected<br />
Chair of Governors. I have<br />
been on the Governing Body as<br />
a partnership governor since<br />
September 2009. During that<br />
time I have served on Curriculum,<br />
Strategy and the Buildings and<br />
Finance committees. I have<br />
been Vice Chair of Governors<br />
for two years. My background<br />
is in education, having been the<br />
Headteacher of two secondary<br />
schools in Gloucestershire and<br />
Warwickshire. Currently I am a<br />
member of The <strong>School</strong>s Forum<br />
a consultative body that advises<br />
local politicians about education.<br />
As a governor I am very keen that<br />
the young people we serve have<br />
the best opportunities we can<br />
provide and that their aspirations<br />
exceed their wildest dreams.<br />
To this end we collectively govern<br />
the school asking searching<br />
questions of the Headteacher<br />
and Senior Leadership team.<br />
We are here to serve you and<br />
get the best out of everyone who<br />
learns and works at the school.<br />
Our governing team are a fantastic<br />
group of people who give freely of<br />
their time and energy. If you would<br />
like to become involved or know of<br />
someone who could make a good<br />
governor please get in touch.<br />
You can contact me through the<br />
school or by email:<br />

SCHOOL<br />
COUNCIL<br />
Assembly ‘hustings ‘and elections took<br />
place during Term 1 and the results<br />
mean that there are 18 members of the<br />
<strong>School</strong> Council working together to have an<br />
impact on school life at <strong>Maidenhill</strong>.<br />
Approximately 30 students wrote short<br />
speeches to try and persuade their<br />
peers to vote for them on Election Day.<br />
The results were really close but, after<br />
several recounts, 2 members of each<br />
Learning Community were elected to the<br />
<strong>School</strong> Council. In addition, to make sure<br />
as many areas of school life would be<br />
covered, representatives from Sport,<br />
Performing Arts, Learning Support, The<br />
<strong>School</strong> Leader Group and Youth Exploring<br />
Sustainability were also nominated.<br />
The first formal meeting was held in the<br />
last week of term in the Library with a<br />
‘business breakfast’ of croissants and<br />
orange juice for all the new representatives.<br />
After introductions and photographs, the<br />
business of the day was discussed and<br />
plans for the coming year debated. <strong>School</strong><br />
Council badges were also issued to ensure<br />
each representative has a visible presence<br />
around the school.<br />
For more information please see our <strong>School</strong><br />
Council notice board in the main corridor.<br />
Agendas, minutes and other information<br />
will be displayed there so the Council can<br />
help toward improving <strong>Maidenhill</strong> life for<br />
the whole school community.<br />
FAIR<br />
SHARES<br />
We visited the Fair Share shop in Stonehouse<br />
to represent our school. We went there as<br />
members of our <strong>School</strong> Council to see the opening<br />
of the shop, together with other people, including<br />
David Drew. There were others there including<br />
those who had worked in the Fair Share shop<br />
for years.<br />
The man who founded the shop, Martin Simons, was<br />
there too. He brought the idea of time banking to<br />
Stonehouse with Britain’s first ‘Time Bank’ set up<br />
there in 1988. The Gloucestershire charity is based<br />
on the principle of being a good neighbour with<br />
someone getting a helping hand then returning the<br />
favour.<br />
We were proud to represent <strong>Maidenhill</strong>.<br />

Children<br />
in Need<br />
Congratulations to<br />
Mr Taylor and his tutor group<br />
RCT who raised £111.95 for<br />
Children in Need on Friday 16th<br />
November with their cake sale<br />
and collection buckets.<br />
BASKETBALL<br />
The Year 10 & 11 basketball<br />
squad have been training all<br />
year and have finally played their<br />
first game. This was a friendly<br />
against Archway. The first half was<br />
close but through good defensive<br />
play they managed to be ahead<br />
10-6 at half time. In the second<br />
half we stopped Archway from<br />
scoring many points. They got<br />
only 4 in the second half, whilst we<br />
also improved our offense. This<br />
meant that the team pulled away<br />
from Archway with a final score of<br />
33-10 to <strong>Maidenhill</strong>.<br />
Well done to all who played<br />
toward an excellent result - Lance<br />
Rennolds, Lewis Quigley, Josh<br />
Stanton, Dan Tyrell, Curtis Florek,<br />

Mr Emerson<br />
group of our Year 9<br />
A students were selected<br />
to guide parents and their<br />
children around <strong>Maidenhill</strong><br />
during our Open Evening<br />
and Open Mornings during<br />
September. They answered<br />
questions and ensured<br />
all areas of the school<br />
were visited. The positive<br />
comments and feedback<br />
gave credit to the way<br />
they handled themselves, both in conversation and appearance.<br />
They have also guided other visitors around our school during the<br />
last couple of months.<br />
Many people have commented on the guides and one email was received<br />
saying “Harry was a charming young man and a fantastic ambassador for<br />
the school.”<br />
Young Writers<br />
In term one numerous students<br />
from a variety of year groups<br />
produced some exciting stories<br />
to enter the Young Writers’ Phizz-<br />
Whizzing Stories competition.<br />
The competition was set up to<br />
celebrate Roald Dahl’s birthday and<br />
to encourage students to remember the inspiring work he produced<br />
throughout the years. The students planned, drafted and developed their<br />
stories, being encouraged by their English teachers to craft a story based<br />
on imagination, perception, expression and creative use of language.<br />
Sixty four of our students were successful in the competition and received<br />
a letter of success, a bookmark and a certificate of merit. Additionally,<br />
each winning piece will be published in a book, Phizz-Whizzing Stories<br />
– Twizzlepoppers, and will be available in the British Library and further<br />
libraries across the UK and Ireland.It is such a pleasure to see the students<br />
achieve something so special and even more so when they can see their<br />
hard work and efforts displayed for all to see.<br />
Miss Kedward<br />
Dozens of youngsters from a<br />
host of schools from around<br />
the county took part in BANDit 9<br />
this October half term. The show<br />
adopted a ‘Later with Jools Holland’<br />
theme with Keith Allen compering.<br />
On Thursday, after three days of song<br />
writing and other mini workshops, all<br />
students performed to a packed out<br />
audience at the Brunel Goods Shed in<br />
Stroud. For more information please<br />

Motocross<br />
I<br />
have been riding a motocross bike ever since I was 2<br />
years old when my dad bought a Yamaha PW for my<br />
older brother. He didn’t want to ride it so I asked my<br />
dad if I could have a go. I have been competing since I<br />
was 6 years old. Nowadays I ride a 2013 KTM 85 and<br />
I’m lucky enough to have my own track.<br />
In October, I left home at 7pm to travel to Poole for<br />
an International motocross event, and at 5.30 am the<br />
next morning we were up to catch the ferry to Jersey, which is a channel<br />
island near France. It was 3 hours of rough seas. We had another 20<br />
minutes to get to the event, where we set up and waited. It didn’t stop<br />
raining and when we walked to the track it was knee height in mud.<br />
Saturday morning soon came around and we had a rider’s briefing, then<br />
we had a practice to see the track on our bikes. One hour later I had my<br />
first race. I was head to toe in mud but I came first. Later on that day I was<br />
told that the racing was cancelled and my race didn’t count because the<br />
lap scorers couldn’t see our numbers. The next day the track was a lot<br />
drier but it was still slippery and deep in places. I came third in all of my<br />
three races. At 5 o’ clock it was time for the presentation. Nobody knew<br />
their final overall place but after two groups being called out it was our<br />
group and I was called as getting third place. It was an International event<br />
so I was riding against people from France, Germany, Jersey, Guernsey<br />
and England.<br />

CHELTENHAM SCIENCE FESTIVAL<br />
On June 14th my friends and I, and some teachers, travelled to<br />
Cheltenham for the Science Festival. We arrived at around 10 am<br />
and we went over to a marquee to watch a very amusing science show<br />
about hot and cold substances. Once it was finished we made our way<br />
over to an activity tent where you could do loads of fun sport activities.<br />
We even had the chance to see how far behind Usain Bolt we would be in<br />
a 100 metre sprint. After that we explored all the marquees in the park.<br />
We enjoyed making things, doing quizzes and activities.<br />
I had a really enjoyable day. I learned a lot and I even got an autograph<br />
from Jem who is on ‘Bang Goes the Theory’. I would highly recommend it<br />
and I would go again.<br />

Leavers’ Ball <strong>2012</strong><br />
In June, Year 11 students and<br />
staff celebrated their time at<br />
<strong>Maidenhill</strong> with a glamorous<br />
and sophisticated ball in the<br />
Whitminster Inn Marquee.<br />
Students arrived in a manner of<br />
styles– vintage cars, limousines<br />
and a double decker bus.to name<br />
a few. Throughout the evening<br />
students voted on the best mode<br />
of arrival with Lucy Gill’s fire<br />
engine coming out top.<br />
The evening commenced with<br />
a welcome fruit punch followed<br />
by a three course meal, complete<br />
with chocolate fountain.<br />
A <strong>Maidenhill</strong> uniform cake<br />
provided a finale along with<br />
presentations to students and<br />
staff. In the evening sunshine, it<br />
was a glorious end to the students’<br />
final year.<br />

NATURE IN ART TRIP<br />
In September <strong>2012</strong> Year 7 enjoyed a visit to Nature in Art with the<br />
art and maths departments.<br />
I enjoyed the museum as there was a lot to see in there, not<br />
just one type of art. I also enjoyed the sculptures as they were<br />
imaginative!<br />

Year 7 Booklet<br />
As we were approaching Year 8<br />
we thought it would be a good<br />
and helpful idea to design and create<br />
a guidance leaflet for the new Year 7<br />
students who were coming to <strong>Maidenhill</strong><br />
in September. We wanted the leaflet<br />
to include useful information, such<br />
as where to go for break and lunch,<br />
where to go if you had any worries,<br />
news of present and future events<br />
and information on any clubs. We also<br />
wanted them to know where and who to<br />
go too when they needed extra support.<br />
Our main objective when we designed<br />
the leaflet was to help and guide the new<br />
Year 7s throughout their first year.<br />

SUMMER SCHOOL<br />
I enjoyed going and meeting Alison Ingram, the artist, in her<br />
studio. Looking at her paintings and asking her questions was<br />
amazing. Her paintings were mostly of animals and had abstract<br />
backgrounds. She used a lot of bright colours and she also used a<br />
lot of shapes for the background.<br />
Niamh Nicholls – RKF<br />
I enjoyed the life size sculpture of a Siberian tiger, sculptured<br />
by Rembrandt Bugatti. The sculptor’s brother is the founder<br />
and creator of Bugatti cars. The tiger is life size and has been<br />
on loan from the Bugatti Museum in Paris for over ten years.<br />
I also enjoyed the golden eagle from an insurance company in<br />
Cheltenham which was on top of the building.<br />

in July.<br />
Eleven Year 6 students (who have now<br />
joined us in Year 7) came along for one<br />
week to try their hand at a whole range<br />
of activities.<br />
As well as literacy and numeracy<br />
based tasks, students took part in art,<br />
craft, cooking, team games and drama<br />
sessions.<br />
Mrs Roberts, Mr Lee, Mr Gilbury and<br />
myself took it in turns to run individual<br />

STONEHOUSE<br />
YOUTH PROJECT<br />
As a group of young people, working<br />
with the Stonehouse Town Council<br />
to design the new youth building, we<br />
went to visit some other local youth<br />
centres. As we visited we wrote down<br />
the things we thought were good<br />
and bad about each of the premises.<br />
The premises we liked the most was<br />
‘Junction’ in Nailsworth. We particularly<br />
liked the kitchen area where young<br />
people are allowed to cook and learn new<br />
skills. Some of the other good things<br />
were the sofas, pool tables, TVs and<br />
games consoles.<br />
In our new building in Stonehouse we<br />
would suggest a hard wearing and<br />
wipeable floor which costs more but<br />
lasts longer. We would also like to see<br />
recycling bins and notice boards with<br />
posters advertising and informing<br />
young people.<br />

ABM Catering<br />
We are delighted that ABM Catering,<br />
our catering contractor, has<br />
invested in two new hot counters with<br />
heat lamps, a multideck cold food and<br />
drinks servery and remote tills.<br />
These were installed during the half term<br />
break and have significantly improved the<br />
service for students, making it quicker<br />
and more efficient with each queue able<br />
to access both cold and hot meal options<br />
ABM Catering is now serving breakfasts<br />
each morning from 8.00 a.m. until 8.30<br />
a.m. with breakfast costing £1.They are<br />
provided free to students who are eligible<br />
for free school meals.<br />
Martin Christopher, Head Chef at Schlumberger in Stonehouse, visited <strong>Maidenhill</strong> to<br />
demonstrate his skills to Year 10 catering students. He demonstrated his knife skills<br />
and showed them how to make a Thai noodle soup and a sweet chilli vegetable stir fry.<br />
Careers Advice<br />
I<br />
would like to take this opportunity to<br />
formally introduce myself as the new<br />
careers adviser for <strong>Maidenhill</strong> <strong>School</strong>.<br />
I have already had a chance to meet<br />
some parents during the Post 16 and<br />
Year 9 options evening. I provide careers<br />
education and career guidance to pupils<br />
on behalf of the Stroud District <strong>School</strong>s’<br />
Partnership.<br />
Since October, I have worked with Year 9 students, running group<br />
sessions to help them plan for years 10 and 11. Each Year 11<br />
student will receive a careers interview to discuss their personal<br />
plans and options, to receive reliable and useful information<br />
so that they can complete further research. I have already met<br />
with many Year 11 students and I have enjoyed hearing about<br />
their ideas and plans. I am looking forward to working with other<br />
students over the coming months, including Year 10 in the<br />
new year.<br />

YES PROJECT<br />
<strong>Maidenhill</strong> students worked with<br />
Stroud District Council officers<br />
on the launch of their new recycling<br />
scheme.<br />
This was part of the YES project –<br />
Youth Exploring Sustainability- which our students have engaged<br />
enthusiastically with. From mixed age groups, they made short<br />
films to highlight items that can be recycled and those that<br />
cannot. The best three films were chosen for viewing on the<br />
SDC website. This term, all students have been asked to complete<br />
a questionnaire about recycling as part of our Eco Council<br />
initiative.<br />

NCS<br />
During the<br />
summer<br />
holidays I took<br />
part in a 4 week<br />
course called the<br />
National Citizens’<br />
Service (NCS). with Gloucestershire College.<br />
The first week at NCS was a residential trip in Wales.<br />
The week consisted of a feast of activities that helped<br />
us get to know each other, as well as face some of our<br />
demon fears. We took part in an activity every day<br />
which included activities such as orienteering, surfing,<br />
rock climbing, abseiling, quad biking and paintballing.<br />
It turned out that this week was the first amazing<br />
week out of four!<br />
Week two saw our second residential trip to a scout<br />
centre in Cranham. With nothing in sight but the<br />
woods, tents and scouts what was this week going<br />
to bring us? We visited different places and we had a<br />
variety of inspiring guest speakers, including a social<br />
worker and a member of the police force. The aim of<br />
this week was to show us all parts of our communities<br />
and what was really out there; this would also help us<br />
get an idea for what we wanted to do for our social<br />
action project in week four.<br />
The third and fourth weeks were at Gloucestershire<br />
College. Our task was to put on an event or help out<br />
within our communities to bring together the local<br />
people and to make a difference. My team all decided<br />
to do a fun day for children and families in the Forest<br />
of Dean. Towards the end of the third week, my team<br />
had to create a presentation on the whole of our event<br />
right down to the finer details, and present this in front<br />
of a panel of business people, rather much like ‘Dragons<br />
Den’. This was make or break time for my team, as this<br />
presentation would determine if we got any funding, or<br />
if we had to carry on by ourselves fishing for donations.<br />
Unfortunately we didn’t have a strong enough event at<br />
the time of this presentation and won no funding.<br />
‘Forest of Fun’ was the name of our event and was<br />
located in Coleford. The activities and facilities at our<br />
event included a bouncy castle and slide, crafts, face<br />
paint, penalty shoot out, a raffle, a coconut shy, stocks,<br />
mini-olympics, a big sweet stall as well as cafe facilities.<br />
We decided to make this event completely free, apart<br />
from the cafe and raffle, and with only money coming in<br />
from these two areas, quite a bit was raised. The money<br />
raised has gone back into the funding of NCS for<br />
next year.<br />
I couldn’t recommend the National Citizens’ Service<br />
more! It’s open to Year 11s and Year 12s, so if you get<br />
the opportunity, go for it!<br />
