SCHOOL UNIFORM - INFORMATION FOR PARENTS
We remind parents at this me of year of school uniform requirements, so that expensive mistakes can be avoided when replacing
items for the new term. Full details of correct uniform can be found in the School Prospectus, and in your child's Student Planner.
The following is a reminder only of main points.
Boys' shirts should be tucked in, and es worn smartly.
In response to concerns about availability, please note that from September, black school skirts will be the
acceptable, as well as navy. Girls' skirts however should be of a style and material appropriate for the school
environment. Length should be on or just above the knee. Stretch fashion skirts are not acceptable.
Girls' blouses should fit appropriately. Tightly fied fashion blouses are not acceptable, camisoles or vest tops should not
be visible.
Shoes, which should be black, also need to be sensibly chosen. Fashion shoes, high heels and pointed toes are not
allowed. Trainers or canvas shoes of any kind are not acceptable, but should be kept for sports
acvies only.
Makeup may not be worn in Years 8 and 9; only very discreet makeup is acceptable on senior girls, and students may be
asked to remove any excess.
Jewellery beyond the minimum of a signet ring and single stud earrings may be confiscated.
Fashion belts are not appropriate.
Students are aware that mobile phones and MP3 players should not be seen in school, and school will not be responsible for loss or
damage. If a student uses any of these inappropriately, the item may be confiscated. Persistent defiance will result in the item
being kept securely in school unl a parent can collect.
You should be aware that students who arrive at school in breach of uniform rules will be reported to the Head of Year, and if the
problem persists, you may be asked not to return your child to school unl the uniform is amended.
I trust that we may count on your support in ensuring that your child appreciates our insistence on high
standards in appearance

Corbett’s Column
Examinations
By the me that you read these words just 18
days will remain before Year 11 students begin
their GCSE examinaons. For Year 12 and 13
students following 'A' Levels, this date will come
one week earlier and later respecvely. It goes
without saying that these youngsters need to
use the short me remaining as producvely as
possible if they are to succeed. I have high hopes
for them and would like to wish them all well.
Amazing commitment
I never cease to be amazed by the extraordinary
range of acvies in which our students become
involved. Whether it be sport, music, debang,
public speaking, business, radio challenge,
overseas visits, environmental, science,
engineering, technology, drama, mock trial, art,
food or charity, Pershore youngsters excel and,
more oen that not, put those from other schools
to shame. Thank you so much also to the staff
who give so generously of their me to support
these endeavours.
Vertical Tutoring
Just to remind everyone that the new vercal
tutoring system will come into effect on 15th
June for current Year 8, 9, 10 and 12 students.
It is also important to remember that changes
to uniform do not take effect though unl
September and the beginning of the new
academic year.
Uniform changes
Girls and Boys:
House clip on e, provided for current Years
8 to 10.
Girls:
Light blue plain school shirt in long or short
sleeve (no three‐quarter length sleeves).
It must do up to the top to allow a e to be
worn and it must be worn tucked in.
Royal Wedding
Please note: the school is closed for the
Royal Wedding on Friday, 29th April.
Budget 2011/12
I am pleased to report that although we have
suffered the expected reducon in our budget
for the new financial year, this can be managed
in a way that will not affect the educaon of our
students. This is quite an achievement at a me
when some Worcestershire schools are having
to come to terms with six figure deficits. It is
important for everyone to appreciate that
whatever central government claims about
educaonal funding, it has and will connue to
be cut. I can only hope that they honour their
pledge to create a more equitable system of
naonal funding very soon in the future.
Academy
On 17th March the Governing Body passed
a formal resoluon to further pursue the
advantages and disadvantages of Academy
Status for the school. We have since held two
consultaon meengs for parents on 29th
March and on 4th April.
Below is a list of quesons which may be accessed

Pershore High School
80 th Anniversary Appeal

in January 2012.
I would welcome contact from students, staff and friends of all
ages to share their memories, along with any photographs or
memorabilia.
The school will be holding special events and also hopes to
update the booklet which was produced on the school's 70 th
anniversary.

Have your say on Pershore Library re-location
A public meeng is being held in Pershore later this month to give residents another
chance to have their say on the future of the Library.
An online and hard copy quesonnaire and weekly surgeries have been set up since a
consultaon into the possible re‐locaon of the library started in January. Although
no decision has been taken, the council's preferred opon is to move the library to the
town's Civic Centre, which is partly due to the high costs of repairing and maintaining
its current building in Church Street, but mainly because it would provide us with the
opportunity to join the library with other services and reduce annual running costs
which is key in sustaining future library services.
The public meeng will take place at St Andrew's Parish Centre on Thursday, March 31
from 6.30pm and will be aended by officers from the council's Libraries and Learning
Service, Property Services, Cllr Philip Greon, who is the County Council's Cabinet
Member for Adult and Community Services, and local County Councillor Liz Tucker.
Cllr Greon said: "We understand that the potenal re‐locaon of a library which has
been in its current spot for 35 years is causing some concern within the community,
parcularly those who use the service regularly. This public meeng will be a chance
for residents to hear in more detail the thinking behind the preferred opon which is
to keep a library in the town in the Civic Centre.
"We don't believe the current building is a viable long‐term opon for us. Apart from
the costs of repairing and then maintaining it, we don't believe the building itself is
appropriate. For example it is poorly insulated and has no disabled access to higher
floors and we think a move to the Civic Centre would help us share the library with
other services which people can access under the same roof. However I re‐state that
no decision has been taken and we want to hear the views of local people before the
consultaon ends on April 22."
Weekly surgeries are running every Monday on a drop‐in basis at the library and the
quesonnaire, which is available from the library, the Civic Centre and Town Hall can
also be accessed online ‐ www.worcestershire.gov.uk/pershorelibrary.
Kathy Kirk, the County Council's Strategic Libraries and Learning Manager, added:
"We know that Pershore Library is an important and valued service and we want to
connue to provide a library in the town which is accessible and convenient, as well
as cost effecve. The thoughts and opinions of local people, expressed through the
quesonnaire, the surgeries or at this public meeng, will help us achieve this."
A copy of the quesonnaire is aached to this newsleer for students and their
families. It may also be accessed online ‐ hp://www.pershore.worcs.sch.uk/

Proposed Changes to
Post 16 School Transport
Worcestershire County Council propose to
remove the transport subsidy for 16‐18
year olds. Each student will have to pay
£847 per year, an increase of almost £300,
to travel on the same chartered school
bus provided free up to the age of 16.
The average across other rural counes in
England is just £328. These proposals
come on top of the abolion of the
educaon maintenance allowance and
cuts to child benefit at a me when the
government is making educaon for 16‐18
year olds compulsory. Of course it is
reasonable to pay a fair amount,
especially in these mes of belt ghtening.
However, these proposals are frightening
and beyond the reach of many families.
These proposals will make the opon of
aending sixth form beyond the reach for
some, will affect students’ choice, cause
further financial hardship to families
and worst of all damage the economic
well‐being of the next generaon of young
workers at me when Britain is perilously
close to seeing one million young people
struggling to find work.
All this conflicts with Worcestershire
County Council’s Corporate Plan
2009‐13 which lists among its seven
corporate priories promises
“an effecve, affordable, accessible,
safe, environmentally‐sustainable and
integrated transport network….”
as well as priorising “educaonal
achievement and skills”.
The Department for Educaon 2010
Post‐16 Transport Guidance states the
local authority has a duty to facilitate the
aendance of all persons of sixth form age
receiving educaon or training and ensure
that learners of sixth form age are able to
access the educaon and training of their
choice. For many the prospect of paying
£847 per year takes their “choice” away.
At the same me plans are afoot to cut
rural bus services which will affect the
young and elderly alike. Locally the 382
services to Pershore could offer a viable
alternave, provided the route can be
changed to stop at Pershore High School.
Worcestershire County Council is
currently undertaking consultaon on
Post 16 transport and rural bus services.
Please make your opinions count.
Beth Goode (far le) and fellow Year 11 students who, like many others, will have to start
paying £842.00 for a seat on this same bus in September 2011 if proposals go ahead.

War Memorial Garden in Abbey Park, Pershore
Generaons came together when PHS
students joined local dignitaries at a
ceremony for a new memorial garden in
the Abbey Park where RNA Chairman Ted
Annis, with his daughter Trudy Burge, cut
the first sod.
The garden, which has been designed by
Lynn Stevens, Wychavon Parks Officer, is
the result of a collaboraon between the
District Council and Pershore Royal Naval
Associaon (RNA) and it will take pride of
place at the entrance to the park. Fundraising
events have been held to raise
£10,000 and the garden will open on
Sunday, 8th May.
The exisng war memorial for those who
laid down their lives in World War One
and Two is inside the Abbey, and as it
only lists those who died prior to 1945 it
was felt it would be fing that another
memorial should be created to remember
those who made the ulmate sacrifice.
Wychavon District Council chairman,
Linda Robinson said: "The council is
very proud to be able to facilitate this
memorial garden. At a me when we all
need to remember our armed forces it is
a wonderful tribute to them."
Advanced Diploma of
School Business
Management
PHS Business Manager, Russell Dalton,
was one of only 45 people across the
country to be awarded the Advanced
Diploma of School Business
Management.
The qualificaon means that Mr Dalton
has achieved skills that he can employ to
get more from the school’s budget.
Clive Corbe said that Russell is a
tremendous colleague and a great
asset to the school and offered his
congratulaons on this outstanding
achievement.
Business Studies
High School Radio Challenge
A group of six Year 9 Gied and Talented
students recently took part in the High
School Radio Challenge at King Charles 1st
High School in Kidderminster.
Young Enterprise Company
Competition 2011
A Young Enterprise Team from Pershore High School have been
selected to go forward to the next stage of the Young Enterprise
Company Compeon 2011, the South Worcestershire Final on
30th March, 2011. The TEDZ Team was one of only eight in South
Worcestershire to have been selected and the top four from this
final will go through to the Herefordshire and Worcestershire
finals at County Hall in Worcester on 4th May.
As an enrichment subject in Sixth Form students opt to take the
subject. They set up in September and come up with a business
idea as a group, appoint people into roles and start trading.
They have to sell at as many places as possible, such as events
taking place at school and at the Christmas Trade Fair at
Worcester Cathedral. They then had to aend a Spring Trade
Fair, organised by Young Enterprise, and submit a ten page report
on their company including the highs and lows of the year and
their finances, both of which are judged and points awarded.
The top eight teams then go through to the finals of which TEDZ
is one of them.
The trip was arranged by Mrs Rachel Seaborne, Head of Business
Educaon. She said: "It was a fantasc day and extremely well
organised by IJM Media and professional radio presenters JK and
Al Booth. The students enjoyed the day and it gave them a chance
to enhance their skills in preparaon for the world of work using
full professional recording equipment. The students produced a
one minute promoonal recording for the school and a two minute
live radio programme. The students did fantascally well and were
awarded joint first place for their efforts.

Student success at BASE
Business Game
Two groups of six students, one from Year
12 and one from Year 13, aended the
Herefordshire and Worcestershire heat
of the Business, Accounng and Skills
Educaon (BASE) Business Game
on Tuesday 22 nd March 2011 at
Worcester Rugby Club. BASE is run by
the ICAEW and is their naonal business
game compeon.
Its a fun, interacve and educaonal
experience for sixth form students.
It takes individuals out of the classroom
and in teams they address acvies and
provide recommendaons on a business
scenario. Assuming the role of an ACA
chartered accountant they analyse,
debate, conclude and present their case
to a panel of highly regarded judges.
Regional heats have been run around the
UK and the winning team from each heat
goes on to compete in the presgious
naonal final.
Both of our teams represented the school
fantascally well, with the Year 13 team
of Emma Hall, Amreetha Ojalae, Kae
Sexton, Tom Neal, Will Hill and Mike Bluck
beang 40 other teams to win the Central
Worcestershire category. They now
progress to the Naonal Final of the
compeon where they will compete
against 29 other teams from around the
country.
The final will be held on 30 th June at the
Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham.
The students were supported in the task
by a business advisor, Peter Hearnshaw
from Peter J Hearnshaw & Co, a local
accountants. Peter described the students
as hardworking and enthusiasc and he
commented on how impressed he was
with their knowledge and work ethic.
The students described their win as 'an
interesng day in which we learnt a lot
and we are amazed at beang so many
other schools and really excited about
going on to the finals in Birmingham.'
The Year 12 team of Aneesh Bha,
Robert Ireland, Jaeren Coathup, Oliver
Wakefield, Kate Burman and Lucy Taylor
had very posive feedback from the
judges who commented on their
teamwork and how well they presented
their outcomes.
Comenius
Comenius Trip to Germany
Recently three students and two teachers
from Pershore High School were invited
to aend a meeng in Schleusingen,
Germany for a Comenius project on
water. Whilst on this trip, we were able
to work collaboravely with other people
from within the European Union. Our trip
started at Birmingham airport where we
met with the other school ‐ Ounsdale,
Wolverhampton‐ whom we would be
working with over the next four days.
Aer checking in, our trip really took off.
On arrival in Frankfurt, we were
introduced to our trusty Volkswagen and
we hit the autobahn (aer our teachers
had got to grips with the German car ‐ no
different to English).
Many stories later by Jonathan, we
arrived in Schleusingen. We met our
German families with whom we would
stay with for the visit and made our way
off to our new homes. That evening, we
spent the night geng to know our
families and the tradional food they ate.
We woke up at the crack of dawn; aer
having found out that German schools
start even earlier. On arrival at school we
had a tour around the historic building
that was built over 300 years ago. Aer
our informaon rich tour around the
interesng and very different school we
were able to aend some English lessons
with other students in the school.
We were all happy to aend these lessons
because we were, as expected, top of the
class.
Aer our gripping English lessons we were
sent to eat our second breakfast of the
day, of which many of us were glad to
have. Once we had consumed a large
amount of German food we were split up
into groups entled ‘too lile water’ and
‘too much water’. In these groups we
were required to prepare a presentaon
on are given topic which had to last
approximately fieen minutes. The catch
was that nobody was allowed to speak
their nave language. Altogether there
were four different naonalies in our
groups with people from Sweden, Finland,
Germany and England. So we had to make
a presentaon in an enrely foreign
language.
Many diconary checks, rehearsals and
lunch breaks later, it was me to perform
our presentaons. It was a nerve‐racking
experience given that we were speaking
German in front of over fiy real
Germans. Aer our presentaons it was
me to go home to our host families once
again.
The rest of the trip included a day in
Bamberg and then going out to dinner as
a big group. We had so much fun on the
Comenius trip and are all so grateful for
the experiences we had – they truly are
once in a life me. We also would like to
say a massive thank you to Mr Kemp and
Mrs Herbert who took the me out for
this trip and looked aer us so well.
Presentaon on the Power of water
Visit to Bamberg, Germany
The Comenius trip was amazing and the
chances of using languages which we
learn in an English classroom really
bought the language to life.
We would recommend everybody
possible to parcipate in the Comenius
project as its an experience you will
never get again.

Debating and Public Speaking
Three Counties Debating
On the 9 th March Jack Riley and I spent the
day at Malvern College compeng in the
Three Counes Debang Compeon.
Throughout the day we competed in three
separate debates on banning the sale of
guns, gied children being educated
separately and parents electronically
tagging their children. Each speech had to
be five minutes long and we only had 15
minutes to prepare for each one, so it was
a challenging whilst incredibly interesng
day. Through the day we heard lots of
different points of view as well as meeng
lots of new people. Unfortunately, we did
not get through to the final however it was
a very valuable and enjoyable experience.
Chloe Bitcon
Pictured: Chloe Bitcon and Jack Riley
Chloe Bitcon and Jack Riley also debated
in the regional final of the ESU Mace at
Solihull on Saturday, 5th March. They
did not get through to the Naonal Final
this year but represented the school
admirably again on this occasion.
Can't Wait…….Didn't Wait.
It was five in a row for Pershore High
School when Charloe Redgewell brought
more silverware back to Pershore.
The Rotary Club of Malvern held its annual
Public Speaking Compeon on Monday,
14 th March, when seven teams of young
orators gave professional and polished
performances on a variety of topics.
Pershore High School has collected one of
the three prizes each year for the last five
years ‐ this me that of Best Speaker.
Vincent Jones had the house in convulsions
of laughter as he described the perils of
being "Supersized or Shortchanged" by
large companies, while Gareth Roberts
added to the bizarre stock of informaon
which is Wikileaks in a speech which
showed insight and humour.
The Jim Chance Cup went to Charloe,
who explored the noon; "Can't wait;
won't wait ‐ the curse of modern society."
On the basis of the quality of her
presentaon, she will certainly not be
waing in the shadows of others.
Head of CEIAG; John Rees, said, "We are
proud of our young people. Charloe
performed with a composure and skill
which belies her years. As a Year 9
student, she out‐performed considerably
older and more experienced rivals in this
compeon. We have a reputaon for
encouraging students to express
themselves in an entertaining and
informed fashion."

Redgewell and Gareth Roberts.
PHS team just misses out on Public
Speaking Final
Pictured with Sonia Chance, Chair of the Midlands Region ESU,
Michael Wheatley, Gareth Roberts and Jared White.
Watched by the Deputy Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Councillor
Michael Wilkes, the Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Birmingham, the
Honorary Consul of Lithuania, and numerous ESU personnel, the
Pershore High School team competed against six other teams in
the Midlands Regional Final of The English‐Speaking Union Public
Speaking Compeon for Schools, held at the Banqueng Suite
of the Council House, Birmingham, on Saturday, 5th March.
The team of Michael Wheatley (Chairman), Gareth Roberts
(Quesoner) and Jared White (Speaker), competed against
students who were largely a year older than them, namely
Blessed Edward Oldcorne (Worcester), the Becket School
(Nongham), King Edward's School (Birmingham), Warwick
School, Radley College (Oxfordshire), and Cheltenham Ladies
College.
Although Cheltenham Ladies’ College progressed to represent
the Midlands in the Naonal Final in London on 7th May, the
Pershore High School team pressed them very close and Michael
won the award for the Outstanding Personality of the day.
The team from Blessed Edward Oldcorne also performed with
great disncon, making it a very proud day for Worcestershire.

Taylor Trophy Debating Competition
Charloe Redgewell has been awarded the prize for best speaker
during the Taylor Trophy Debang Compeon. Charloe
aended the event at Bromsgrove School with fellow debater,
Giles Grainger.
They both went through to the final where they were up against
Warwick School and debated the moon 'This House Would Ban
Cloning'. Despite convincing the audience to defeat the moon
the winners on the night were Hereford Cathedral School, but
Charloe was awarded best speaker prize.
Clive Corbe said that the pair opposed the moon with great
convicon and that Charloe was well deserving of the prize.
The Great Shakespeare Debate 2011
Danny Sanders, Ed Surman and Meg Chiy ‐ three A level English
students were chosen to be part of The Great Shakespeare
Debate. They had to submit a five minute applicaon video
discussing the subject: How relevant is Shakespeare today
They were chosen as one of twelve schools from across the
country, including Eton and Magdalen College, Oxford.
The compeon was held at the Shakespeare Educaon Centre in
Straord‐upon‐Avon and stretched over two days. On the first day
the students were giving some debang training and workshops as
well as having to complete their first debate on their chosen play,
Othello. In the evening the students were treated to a
performance of Romeo and Juliet at the RSC's brand new theatre.
Early Wednesday morning the students were involved in a tutorial
with a Shakespearean expert discussing the previous night's
performance before having the opportunity to queson the actor
who is currently playing Romeo. Then the teachers were ushered
out of the way as the students had to prepare for their second
debate: This house believes that the current producon of Romeo
and Juliet has nothing new to add. Pershore High were proposing
this moon and managed very well to come up with some
convincing arguments. Before the third round debate the students
were encouraged to visit Shakespeare's birthplace which they
found very interesng. The moons for the third round debate
were distributed and again Pershore High were proposing. This
debate went parcularly well and it was clear to members of the
floor that the students on both sides of the house were very much
enjoying the moon: This house believes the current producon
of Romeo and Juliet encourages us to see reckless behaviour as
acceptable. A tense wait for the confirmaon of the finalists was
lessened by a lively talk from the Head of English at Warwick
University.
Magdalen College and Chew Valley School were announced as the
finalists and whilst they prepared their speeches everyone was
treated to sandwiches and cake. The final was very lively indeed
debang whether the methods of teaching Shakespeare in schools
needed to be changed or not and this me points from the floor
were allowed. The eventual winners were Chew Valley School.
Our students threw themselves into every aspect of the two day
event and certainly impressed all they met. They all enjoyed the
experience and have learned a lot about debang and
Shakespeare as well as experiencing what study at university will
be like.
Many thanks to Miss Harper, Mrs Iddon,
Miss Smith and Mrs Durrant for helping
to prepare the students for the event.
Also thanks to Miss Holmes and
Mrs Clasen for transporng and
accompanying the students.

Dear Headteacher
I am wring to you as Head of Public Protecon for WestMercia
Police and Chair of the Worcestershire Internet Safety Sub Group
of the Worcestershire Local Children’s Safeguarding Board.
Protecng children and young people lies at the very heart of
what both you and I do every day, however I need you help.
Last month we officially launched the new and innovave
Internet Safety Website ‘ WES’ – www.wes.networcs.net which
is for children, young people and parents about how to stay
safe on the Internet. It encompasses issues such as social
networking, gaming, mobile phone technology and cyber
bullying. WES contains many excellent resources. However, I
want to highlight one guidance document that will greatly assist
you when dealing with the phenomenon of 'Facebook'.
'Facebook Sengs' is located in the parents secon and is an
excellent praccal guide on customising 'Facebook' to reduce
risks. This will help you reduce incidents both within and outside
school. Addional e‐safety resources can be found in
EduLink/ICT/e‐safety.
Within the site is an Internet survey, accessed through the home
page. Every school in Worcestershire has been invited to take
part. The results will enable our strategy to be informed by
young people and enable you as Head Teacher to understand

Eco Club News
Once again the Eco Club have had a very busy few weeks. Just
before half term and so as to be in me for the nesng season,
students with the help of Mr Evans, made six nesng boxes which
we have sited around the school grounds. Clearly the local birds
were very impressed with our efforts and we now have several
blue and great ts occupying them.
We would like to thank Travis Perkins in Pershore and Branch
Manager Mr Simon Houghton, for kindly supplying us with the
mber to make the boxes and for Mr Evans overseeing our work.
The crocus planng that we did last term has been very successful
and areas around the school, parcularly in front of the Science
block and outside the Humanies mobiles have been made much
more colourful thanks to the many purple crocus which have been
in flower over recent weeks. Several staff and students have
commented on how nice they look and they have certainly
provided a “spring like” feel to school grounds.
Our most recent project had been to plant some hedging kindly
sent to us by the Woodland Trust. So far we have planted elder,
dog rose, holly and hazel. Hedgerows provide very important
habitats and food sources for a variety of birds and wildlife so
hopefully once these become established they will be a welcome
addion to the bio diversity of the school site.
We have lots more excing projects in
the pipeline for the summer term.
Eco Club meets every Wednesday in H6.
Come along if you want to find out more
about what we do and join in our
acvies.

World Book Day
On Thursday, 3rd March,
Pershore High School Sixth
Form students got dressed up
to celebrate World Book Day.
Pupils were encouraged to come
in dressed up as a character from
their favourite book. Among the
array of costumes were The
Three Musketeers, the cast of
The Wizard of Oz, a group from
Alice In Wonderland and many,
many more.
Whether dressed up as a group, or individually, the costumes
definitely caused a sr and everyone enjoyed guessing which
book people were from. The school was visited by two local
newspapers, and everyone had great fun posing for the photos.
A parade and a book sale helped to raise awareness for the
event, and the Bring and Buy Book Sale raised £125.00 which has
been donated to the charity Regain.
In all, the day was a great success, and fun for everyone involved.

Activity Club
A new aer school club has recently been
started at Pershore High School to cater
for students with addional needs,
‘21 st Century Acvies Club’.
The club is run on Wednesday evenings
by Neil Mendham ‐ a specialist coach
from Wychavon District Council’s Sport
Development Department, for an inial
eight week period. Financial backing
has also been secured through “Sport
Unlimited funding”, which will be used
to invest in a ‘new age curling set’ that
will not only benefit the club, but the
whole school. The remaining funds are
being used to provide addional sports
equipment, which is necessary to further
enhance the interest of the students
involved within the club.
The club has been a good addion to
the already thriving extra curricular
programme being run at the school,
with at least eight students aending

his fun and organised sessions which the
pupils have enjoyed and benefited from.

World Ausm
Awareness Day falls every year on the
2 nd April. Both Base pupils and staff
wanted to do something to support this
day, as well as raising funds for “Ausm
West Midlands”, a charity which provide
specialist care and support for people of
all ages on the Ausc Spectrum. Ausm
West Midlands not only work along side
families and carers of those with Ausm,
but also organise events to raise
awareness of Ausm.
History
This work was produced as a response to
student research about the experiences of
children caught up in the Holocaust.
Students were invited to use their research
to create a diary, leer or poem based on
the experiences of the characters they
researched. The prize winning entries
were then presented by their creators
(of which Sarah was one) at the Holocaust
Memorial Day held at the Civic Centre in
January.
The Diary of Eva Beem
17 th February 1944
The fear of being found is ever present.
Dear diary:
Even though Mr and Mrs Wohlfarth are
both very welcoming and the village of
Ermelo is very nice, I would do anything
to be back with my family and to stop this
wretched war forever. One of the things
this experience has taught me is not to
complain but always be thankful for what
I have.
In the Base, staff decided to ask pupils if
they had any ideas of how we could do
some fundraising and raise awareness of
Ausm around the school. Pupils came up
with the idea of staff wearing T‐shirts
promong the event with pyjamas to
school for a day. So that is what we
did…
On the 17 th March, Base staff spent the
enre day in their pyjamas, walking
around school and going to lessons.
We even had a photograph taken for
the paper.
Me and my younger brother Abraham
were sent into hiding by our parents about
two years ago now and although we are
treated much beer now, I am sick and
red of hiding my true identy. Before my
parents sent us away us Jews were treated
worse than animals. We were made to
wear the star of David on our arm which
had to be visible at all mes. Because of
this we were constantly frowned upon
and separated from the rest of society.
My parents lost their jobs because of being
Jews so I have been used to having only the
bare necessies for a while now. Word is
out that when the Jews are taken away
they are forced into a place worse than hell
itself. At the moment I am not too sure
whether it is quite so bad but I am certain
it wont be any fun. At all.
As I write what I fear to be my last entry
for a while, the radio is playing loudly in the
room next door. Abraham is slouched on
the seee listening out for any news.
The doorbell rings and Abraham hurries
to answer it.
There were many smiles
and lots of laughter from
pupils in the Base, seeing
their teachers in their
pyjamas.
We had lots of generous
donaons from staff and pupils, and
raised a sum of £163.36 and got a lot
of aenon from pupils and staff about
why we were wearing our pyjamas.
We would like to thank everyone who
supported us.
by Jennifer Ludlow
Every me the doorbell rings I am filled
from head to toe with opmism ‐ as to
whether or not it was parents‐ though
most of the me I am frightened. It could
be the police come to take Abraham and I
away. I am always worrying about our
safety. Whether I will sll be here
tomorrow, whether I will make it through
to the end of the war, whether the war
will ever end.
Anyway, in hurried Mrs Wohlfarth (who I
have grown to like these past years) with
worry wrien all over her face (not
literally). She says that we should keep
quiet for a while, not draw any aenon
to ourselves. She says it’s because the
police have found out Jewish children in
hiding and are taking special precauons
to eliminate them. But I fear the worst, I
fear that they know about us; and I fear
the future for Abraham and I.
Lets just hope it all ends soon, though I
don’t know I will be so lucky.

Mathematics
GCSE Revision Classes
We are now running Maths revision classes every Wednesday for
Year 11, both at lunchme and aer school ‐ students should come
to one or the other. This is a fantasc opportunity for small group
teaching and individual problem solving. Those who came last
year did really well in their exam. We are running two different
sessions; one for the students doing Higher aiming for grades A*
to B, and one for students working towards a grade C.
Year 10 are now working towards the Unit 2 exam on 21st June,
and revision classes will begin again for these students in May.
MyMaths Website
Did you know we subscribe to www.mymaths.co.uk
The school login is 'pershore' and the password is available from
your teacher.
The website has a huge number of interacve resources to help
with revision. You can raise your KS3 level or GCSE grade by using
the online lessons, and then check your progress with an online
homework. It now has an A level secon too for students in the
Sixth Form. If you haven't already started using this website, start
today.
Mathematics Equipment
We expect students to come to Maths lessons properly equipped
and students can be given detenons if they arrive unprepared.
All equipment can be purchased from the Mathemacs
Department as individual items or as a complete 'Maths Kit'
at quite compeve prices.
It is also vital that students own a calculator and bring it to all
lessons so they can learn how the different features work. There
are many different sorts of calculator but students need a proper
scienfic calculator with a facility to write fracons. Not having
this sort of calculator can put a student at a severe disadvantage
in both lessons and exams. Calculators can be complex and
using an unfamiliar calculator in an exam can be disastrous.
Maths Kits and Calculators are available to order and pay online,
or students can bring the money in to their Maths teacher.
MATHS KIT - £1.50
▪ Clear Plasc Pencil Case
(suitable for examinaons)
▪ 15cm ruler
▪ 180 o protractor
▪ Compass
▪ Pencil
▪ Eraser
▪ Pencil Sharpener
CALCULATORS - £6
We recommend the new version
of the Casio Scienfic Calculator
(fx‐83GTPLUS).

Science and Engineering
Week 2011
During Naonal Science and Engineering
Week (NSEW) pupils at Pershore High
School were invited to come and take
part in various acvies in the Science
department with the theme naonally
of ‘communicaon’.
Year 8 and 9 had a go at fire wring, using
sodium nitrate on sugar paper they were
able to burn out leers they had painted
on. STEM club pupils in Year 9 were up
against Year 10s to design a lighthouse
using limited resources.
The winning team were judged by
Mr Callaghan and produced a lighthouse
with a working light bulb they could turn
on and off and be free‐standing. The
winners were Charlie Bourn, Dan Thomas
and Simon West. The finale of the week
was entled ‘Wow Chemistry’ and
consisted of colourful and explosive
chemistry that certainly le the crowd
with the ‘wow’ factor.
An enjoyable week was had by all who
aended and it was brilliant to see so
many faces taking part.

STEM Club – Science Spring 2011
During the first part of the spring term
the STEM club have been busy with the
theme of ‘Science and Engineering
Challenges’. Every week pupils were
given a challenge to complete by the
end of the session and had to compete
against each other with me restraints
to make the best. We made and tested eco wind turbines that
generate enough electricity to make a LED work, made insulated
houses and built towers out of newspaper and spaghe with jelly
tots. The highlight of the spring term has been to see so many
pupils geng really creave with their ideas and working well as
part of a team.

PESSCO
PHS Family Gym Festival
2011
Pershore High School hosted the South
Worcestershire School Sports Partnership
(SWSSP) Gymnascs fesval on Friday
11 th March welcoming approximately
130 Year 3 children from our feeder first
schools (including Cherry Orchard,
Inkberrow, St. Barnabas, Crowle, Deffordcum‐Besford
and Upton Snodsbury) as
well as young leaders from Year 9 and 10
to take part in the annual event.
The fesval incorporated a developing
potenal perspecve and accommodated
this perspecve by supporng children
of all levels of ability to strive to achieve
their full potenal in gymnascs as well as
encouraging mass sports parcipaon.
The main aim of the fesval was to
enhance each parcipant's sporng
experience and gymnascs skills. These
core skills included jumps, rolls, travelling
movements and balances to form strong
links with the KS2 Naonal Curriculum in
PE. The parcipants then presented a
thoroughly pracsed performance in pairs
to the other schools using various pieces of
equipment to demonstrate the skills they
had learnt during the morning.
These fesvals would not be possible if it
were not for the support of PHS staff, all
the first schools members of staff and the
commitment presented by the young
leaders. Well done to all.

South Worcestershire School Sports
Partnership (SWSSP)
Tag Rugby Festival
Pershore Rugby Club set up a community tag rugby fesval this
month in conjuncon with the South Worcestershire School
Sports Partnership (SWSSP), Worcester Warriors and West Mercia
Police. The fesval was put on to provide further opportunies
for boys and girls in Year 3 and 4, from all the first schools with
the SWSSP, to take part in tag rugby within a community sports
club seng and sustain their interests in the sport.
Alongside the experse of Pershore Rugby Club and Worcester
Warriors representaves, members of the Year 10 Ruby Squad
from Pershore High School (namely, Sco Smith, George Fletcher,
George Manchester, David Oliver, Jack Sealey, Joe Papworth,
Jacob Smith, and Ollie Pike) also assisted in the organisaon of
the event by delivering warm up acvies and refereeing games
throughout the tournament.
These rugby leaders were also lucky enough to play their own tag
rugby match during the lunch break against the 'wiser' generaon
of rugby players who were involved in the organisaon of the
day. This included former Pershore Rugby Club 1 st Team Captain,
and now Worcester Warriors Community Rugby Manager, Steve
Joslin.
SWSSP Celebration of Inclusive Sport
Festival
Four young leaders from Pershore High School took part in the
SWSSP Celebraon for Inclusive Sport fesval on Comic Relief Day
(18 th March 2011) along with addional leaders from the other
high schools within the partnership. This annual fesval runs in
line with the naonal iniave, Playground to Podium, whereby
students with Special Educaonal Needs and physical disabilies
take part at a local level to be recognised to go through to the
county event and possibly beyond to regional and naonal
development centres in a specific sport or acvity, to qualify to
be part of the Paralympic Games set up.
PHS young leaders led acvies such as tag rugby, boccia,
wheelchair basketball, table tennis, rowing and new age curling
at the event, supporng students from the age of 5 to 16. PHS
leaders were once again praised for their efforts and leadership
skills which they demonstrated throughout the day.
The result of which is sll in dispute. The event was also graced
with the appearance of Worcester Warriors Prop, Callum Black.
The leaders were praised by the organisers for their consistent
high quality leadership throughout the day. Thank you to all who
took part.
Miss Chrisan
PE and School Sports Coordinator
This is yet another example of sports leadership involvement in
community sports iniaves which help to develop students’
leadership skills, confidence and overall school experiences here
at PHS. It was a very long day for our young leaders; nevertheless
they gave it their all. Special thanks to Sco Smith, Shannon
Murphy, Harrie Nicholls and Callum Hughes.

The Duke of
Edinburgh
Award
Scheme
On Wednesday 2 nd and Thursday 3rd
March, the Bronze Award students had
their first route planning sessions for
their Pracce Expedion. Most of the
teams completed this task over the two
sessions and I am now in the process of
going through them all checking that all
details are correct. I will be in contact
with teams over the next few weeks
if any correcons need to be made.
It is not long before your pracce
expedion and ideally, by now, those
walking boots should have been worn
and broken in.
Blisters are a really big problem with badly
fied boots or boots that have never been
worn before, so please do not let it be
your feet that suffer.
The next important date on the calendar
is the Bronze Training Day which is taking
place on Friday, 8th April. This is a PDD
day, so you will be the only students in
school. You will need to be at school for
8.45am and the day finishes at 2.30pm,
so it is important that you arrange how to
get to and from school on that day. The
canteen will be open for you to buy a
snack at break me. You should wear
sensible clothing and bring a waterproof in
case it rains during the outdoor training
sessions.
Do not forget you will be cooking a three
course meal at lunchme. This can consist
of a cup‐a‐soup, pasta and sauce and a
pudding. We had some really ingenious
meals cooked last year; all we ask is that
you do not bring raw meats, pot noodles
or glass jars.
We are hoping
that you will
take away with
you helpful
advice, hints
and ps and that
niggling queson
which has been
worrying you,
has been
answered.
Below is a table of acvies you will
be doing during the day, there is also
a copy on display on the DofE noce
board opposite the hall.
Congratulaons go to:
Charloe Hayes, Philippa Cole,
Eleanor Morris, Greg Walton,
Josh Carr, Chloe Bitcon and Alice Howe
who have all successfully gained their
Bronze Award.

£10,000 target for Zambia
PHS students have launched a fundraising campaign so that they can visit an African school for the second year running.
Students plan to travel again to Lubuto High School in Zambia as part of a two‐year student exchange but need to raise
£10,000.
The Pershore‐Ndola Link project aims to enhance young people’s understanding of life and culture in a different country.
Students can share their experiences of life in each others environment and work together to find out more about life in each
others countries. The Prom Fayre was held as part of the fundraising, and has previously provided resources for schools and
hospitals in Zambia’s Copperbelt region.

Technology in the news
Students pictured during the tour of the Mazak factory.
On 1 st March, a group of Year 10 students went to an inducon
morning to learn about the WGTA (Worcester Group Training
Associaon) Manufacturing Programme 2011 at Worcester.
To take part in the scheme, Carol Ridings Technology TA, organised
visits to Worcestershire based companies Sencon, Mazak and
Worcester Bosch. The visits are designed to give an overview of
the different manufacturing sectors including:‐ Engineering,
Polymers, Food and Drink, Construcon, the funcons of people
within a manufacturing company and how they are trained.
On the inducon day the students met Rosie, the leader at WGTA,
who gave them an insight into the programme’s events. They did
workshops, team building, presentaons and a quiz at the end
with prizes.
Tuesday, 8 th March was the first visit on the programme to Sencon
in Droitwich, where the students found out about the various
manufacturing processes within their company.
Tuesday, 22 nd March they visited Mazak and got to see the many
different products and machinery that they are involved with and
how they are made. Some of the ‘best bits’ so far………
“Meeng Rosie at WGTA and having a great Lunch” Sco Smith
“I didn’t know we were going to get prizes” Jacob Smith
“Tesng the coke cans at Sencon to measure the thickness of the
protecve coang inside” Ryan Branfield
“Seeing how the cans are tested by machines and when they get
rejected” Alex Clasen
“The tour of the Technology Centre at Mazak” Ollie Knight
“I liked looking around the Soluons Gallery at the products on
display” Josh Faulkner
“We liked the factory tour and seeing the machinery at work,
especially the CNC Lathes” Dan Rushton, Sco Holden and
Jonathan Drinkwater.
Our visit to Worcester Bosch is on the 31 st March and we are
going to Birmingham University in June to learn more about
Higher Educaon Careers in Manufacturing/Engineering through
Higher Educaon. The final ‘Wind up’ day is in July where we
hope to bring all our newly gained informaon and knowledge to
create a design and present it to the judges. The students will be
compeng with other school teams and challenging them for the
prize for ‘Best Design’

Chess Club
Revolution is sweeping through the ever popular Chess
Club. After years of tyrannical rule, the Chess dictator,
Mr Segar was toppled from the top of the Chess Ladder.
After an all out assault, one of the rebels, Rachel Day,
from the eastern province of 8C, beat Mr Segar, a feat
no-one has managed in living memory. The elderly
despot was forced to open his treasury and issue a gold
referral to the victor.
Unfortunately for the proponents of change, forces loyal
to Mr Segar regained the championship and the dictator
is now top of the ladder again.
Anyone can join in the Chess Ladder struggle, with
spoils to the victors, cash prizes at the end of the year.
Rebels and loyalists alike can challenge anyone up to
three rungs above them. If they win, they take their
vanquished opponents place.
Chess Club – with other games too – with Mr Segar in the
M4 demilitarised zone, Tuesday and Friday lunchtimes.

Year News
Year 8
Rocket Science for
Year 8 Gifted and Talented
Students
14 students from Year 8 went to a
fantasc Rocket Science workshop at the
University of Birmingham on Wednesday,
March 9 th . Aer an introductory talk
about the history of space exploraon,
the group were given a demonstraon to
help them understand the huge distances
involved in space.
The session really livened up when each
student made a mini rocket out of a film
canister, water and an Alka‐Seltzer tablet.
The fizz from the reacon built up the
pressure in the sealed pot, unl it all
went pop – with the water going
everywhere.
Next it was on to building a rocket out
of paper, scky tape and blue‐tak. The
course leader gave a few hints about
design, but the students had to work out
for themselves what would work best.
The rocket launcher was set up outside
and the students took it in turns to launch
their rockets in the middle of a very busy
campus. The rockets which went the
furthest won an Easter egg for their
designers. Unfortunately, none of
Pershore's came in the top three but
special menon must be made of James
Foster's remarkable achievement of
managing to send his backwards and
Shaun Cawkells's rocket which exploded
without moving at all.
It was a really great day out, and the

Flourishing
Fivers
We are coming to the
end of the Flourishing Fivers Scheme for
this year, raising money for St Richard's
Hospice. Over the last few weeks, there
has been a magnificent effort to
complete all the fundraising acvies by
the Year 8 students, and the money has
been rolling in.
Special menon must be made of the
following, for working so hard for this
very worthy cause.
Bethan Fletcher and Kae‐May Lambert
raised £94.50 selling a quiz; George
Creese held a sale bringing in £30.50,
while car washing by Nick Rawlings raised
£20.00. Georgie Poer held a cake sale
and raised £20.00, general help around
the house by Billy Amor and Ma
Williams brought in £21.00, and Lauren
Whitehead raised £13.35 doing chores
at home. Dog walking was very lucrave,
bringing in £96.00 for Taylor Caldwell
and £60.50 for Megan Brown.
Any last minute contribuons will be very
welcome, but a huge thank you to all the
students who have raised so much
money, so far. Well done Year 8.
Mrs Higginbotham and Mrs Taylor
Year 9 News
It is a very important me for Year 9
students at the moment. Opons forms
are in and the process of allocang
subjects has begun. Students will hear
about their choices over the coming
weeks, somemes with extra help from
senior staff to finalise their subjects.
Keep up the good work Year 9 and
remember that even if you are not
taking a subject next year maximum
effort now is essenal.
Year 10
Zoe Budding
Vercal Tutoring is fast approaching
and although we have yet to determine
the new House names, by now all
students should be aware of which
house they are in by colour.
With the new Tutoring system will come
new opportunies and I would urge all
students to approach it with an open
mind, you never know, you just might
find it beer than what you have now.
It will not be long before the current Year
10 students become the role models for
the whole of the school as well as their
new Tutor groups. Standards of uniform
and behaviour depend very much on
individual responsibility and as long as
each person takes care to do the right
thing, collecvely we will be looking and
acng smart.
Enjoy the Easter
break when it comes
and make sure you
come back safe and
ready to get the most
out of the final term
of Year 10.

Vicky Trotman and I went every Friday to
Holy Redeemer Roman Catholic Primary
School to help them with their netball
skills.
Throughout the spring term we have
made their netball skills beer and
every week there were more and more
children that came along.
They recently had a netball match which
they unfortunately lost but they were
definitely more skilled than the other
team.
We enjoyed taking on this opportunity
and recommend it to everyone who
likes sporty things and interacng with
younger children.

I look forward to seeing your many

I would like to thank all of those involved
for all their hard work and commitment at
such a busy me of year.
Finally, I would
like to say good
luck and goodbye
(for a lile while)
to Mrs Durrant

What makes a good lesson
The following is an arcle from the
Worcester News (Tuesday 22 nd February
2011) on Pershore High School’s
‘Learning Ambassadors’ programme.
Pershore High School students have been
undertaking research in lessons taught by
their own teachers and those in other
schools. The idea is for both students and
teachers to gain a different perspecve on
the teaching and learning process.
The student learning ambassadors work
in pairs on their research with one
parcipang in the lesson and the other
observing. They gather evidence on
different aspects of the lesson including
the layout of the classroom, the
proporon of students asking quesons,
the types of resources used and their own
experience of parcipang in the class.
Aerwards they interview class students
of varying abilies and also interview the
teacher and offer their feedback and that
of their students. They later present their
findings, anonymously, to Deputy
Headteacher Andrew Nockton.
He stressed that the students were not
expected to judge their teachers or
evaluate their ability. He said: "It is a
mechanism for us to understand the
students' perspecve and what they can
find out from doing their own research."
The school believes that the students'
opinions are what is currently missing
from the ra of informaon available
about what makes effecve teaching and
learning. Mr Nockton said: "This helps
the teachers in that we listen to the
students' perspecve and we can feed
that into the development work we do
with staff. It helps the students because
they are acvely involved and get a beer
understanding of what the teacher is
trying to do."
For the project, Pershore High School
partnered inially with two other schools
in Coventry and Gloucestershire. The
enre process is student led, with the
students themselves deciding what they
want to research. Staff were asked to
volunteer, and out of a total of 80, 42
teachers have taken part, including
Mr Nockton. He said: "Staff have seen it
as a posive chance of geng some
valuable feedback."
What have the students said
Mr Nockton said: "They like classes that
are structured. They like lessons which
have a number of small acvies rather
than large parts of the same thing, and
they like group work. They like the idea
of being challenged to find things out
rather than being given informaon.
They also like to be clear about what it
was they were going to achieve by the
end of the lesson." Mr Nockton said the
children also want teachers to be firm
but fair.
Among the Year 11s who took part last
year was Jack Riley who said that the
process had helped him understand the
job of teachers beer. He said: "The
best thing was geng the different
perspecve on the lesson, seeing it from
the front of the class. It was different to
what you would expect it to be."
Another learning ambassador, Mahew
Hancock, said he could now recognise a
good learning environment. He said:
"It needed to be small groups and many
liked sing where they wanted to next to
friends. They might talk a bit more but
they found it easier to ask for help from
their peers and they worked in a beer
environment. I think I know now that
when students learn best is when they
are in an environment they like and they
want to learn in, so if you create that
environment that's when they will learn
beer." He also said the process made
him see teachers did not always have a
choice about what they taught and had
to follow the curriculum.
Olivia Harbridge also took part and said
she had realised how much planning
went into lessons even when it did not
feel like it. She also revealed teachers
and students interviewed oen felt the
same about a lesson. She said:
"Teachers knew when the students had
enjoyed the lesson." Many of the youngsters
said the experience had given them
valuable life skills including interview
techniques and diplomacy. Olivia said:
"It helps with revision as well. I realised
acve learning might be beer than
just sing wring notes. I can see I
remember that because it was fun when
we did this."
Last year, the school presented its
findings at the Worcestershire Effecve
Pracce conference at County Hall and
next month will host another conference
for other county schools interested in
adopng the idea. Mr Nockton said the
school will definitely carry on working
closely with the people who know best ‐
the students.

Ambassadors project please contact

on the issues relevant to their constuents. They will also organise
campaigns, projects and events and idenfy common issues of
concern.
There had been 24 candidates aged between 11 and 18, who had
received 9000 votes between them. They spent two months
pung together their manifestos and pledges for the elecons,
which were organised by Worcestershire County Council's support
team.
Councillor Marcus Hart, the council's member for educaon said:
"It's fantasc to see the interest this year's elecons have
generated and I would like to applaud all the candidates who
have put their cases forward for votes over the last couple of
months. Each and every young person who has taken me to
vote has used the chance to help shape future decisions that
affect them and their peers ‐ they very ethos of the UK Youth
Parliament."
Pershore High School student, James Manning, was elected
with students from Prince Henry's and Evesham High School
to represent the Wychavon area. UKYP
was launched at the House of Commons in
July 1999 and first sat in 2001. Each local

Zambia Exchange 2011
On Friday 1 st April, five students and two members of staff, David
Brookes and Jo McKenzie set off for Zambia on the first leg of this
year’s Zambia Student Exchange.
This year’s visit will include a number of educaonal workshops
led by our students and their Zambian partners, involving Art,
Maths, Science, Sport and Music. This event will bring together
over 80 students of all ages, for a day’s acvies at Lubuto High
School.
The students will also hold a sports day at Ulalo Community
School, one of the poorest schools in Ndola. The fun acvies will
include three legged, sack, egg and spoon races and much more.
Students and staff form Pershore High School and Lubuto High
School will also be involved in a project the Ndola Central Hospital.
The hospital has a Day Care Centre which provides educaon for
students with serious learning difficules and disabilies. These
students are normally marginalized in Zambia, so when we visited
the centre last year we were deeply touched by the huge amount
of work, care and support carried out by the teachers and staff,
with very lile resources.
Our project will involve decorang one of the main class rooms
and providing learning aids, music and painng equipment. We
hope to make a difference for the students, with a wide range
of learning difficules.
We are looking forward to the opportunity to connue to support
the community in Ndola with various resources we have gained
A & S Travel
Tour operators are not usually sympathec to parents who
wish to take a family holiday during school holidays and
invariably charge astronomic prices.
It would appear that parents are penalised for adhering to the
school’s wishes in not taking children on holiday during term me.
So with this in mind we are offering a 5% discount off
any package holiday booked through our company to
encourage parents to holiday at the appropriate mes.
This offer is also extended to all staff.

Victoria Shone and Aimee Ogden, and both Alice and Victoria
received Highly Commended cerficates and a £50 cheque.
Alice, the youngest of the three, was praised for her texle
based work about her family history. Vicky Shone gained
recognion for her large scale quartet of self‐portraits produced
in her final year at Pershore. This success for Victoria follows her
successful applicaon for the Ray Steadman Bursary which is

to connue in the Arts at degree level following her foundaon
course at Cheltenham.
Head of Art, David Reid, said: The school is extremely grateful
that awarding bodies such as the Malvern and Evesham
Decorave and Fine Arts Society are providing opportunies for
young arsts to fulfil their ambions, and we hope that this will
connue in the future as there is an abundance of local talent.
George Potham, Angus Evans and Felix Anderson arranged an
Interact fundraiser by pinning an arrow on a heart. They had to
blue tack an arrow, whilst blind‐folded and having been spun

the bigger and beer the prize.
Bredon Hill Rotary Club's candidate for Rotary Youth Leadership
Award, Sixth Form student Andrew English, recently gave an
account at a Rotary meeng of his visit to the Forest of Dean ‐
team‐building consisng of orienteering, canoe building and
rock climbing. He explained that this experience made him
understand himself a bit more, his strengths and weaknesses and
those of other people, and how he could use his findings to help
others on the course. He answered quesons from Rotarians and
visitors with great aplomb and confidence and had a wonderful
reacon from the listeners.
The Chairman of Worcestershire County Council made the
following comments on the presentaon that Year 12 student,
Rob Ireland, gave to the full Council, in opposion to the
proposed changes to transport. “”He was arculate, clear and set

Important information about term time absence
Changes have been made to the
guidelines provided by
Worcestershire County Council
relang to the authorisaon of term
me absence for holidays.
The naonal regulaons governing
student aendance make it clear
that parents do not have any right
or entlement to take a child out of
school for the purposes of a term‐me
holiday. Holidays during term me
should be seen as an excepon to the
norm and term me absence should
not be authorised unless there are
exceponal circumstances.
The Headteacher will be responsible for
deciding what constutes exceponal
circumstances and each request for term‐
me absence will be considered on an
individual basis.
An exceponal circumstance is likely to be:
a one‐off, unique situaon such as a
parent, grandparent or other close
relave is seriously ill and the holiday
proposed is likely to be the last such
holiday;
there may have been a significant
trauma in the family recently and the
Headteacher might consider that an
immediate holiday might enable the
child concerned to beer deal with
the situaon;
the holiday might be a unique,
one‐off never‐to‐be‐repeated
occasion which can only take place at
the me requested.
The cheaper cost of holidays in term
me will not be accepted as an
exceponal circumstance.
Any queries relang to term me
absence requests should be directed
to Mrs Julie Hyde, Aendance Officer
(ext 323).
School Uniform Vouchers
An allowance may be available for
essenal school uniform. In the most
recent financial year, the essenal
uniform allowance was available only
for a limited range of items.
Grants are considered only for children
from the date they would start school
under the County Council’s standard
admissions policy and later when they
move on to each stage of schooling.
The second part of the acceptance
criteria is that the child/children named
have to be starng or transferring to a
new school. A maximum of two vouchers
per child will be supplied. The value of the
vouchers varies slightly depending on
what the voucher is for and the age of the
child/children concerned. The vouchers
can be exchanged for school uniform in
approved stores. A list of the relevant
names is supplied with the vouchers.
The scheme is subject to revision each
year.
Applicaons for assistance should be
addressed to:
The Educaon Welfare Service,
Worcestershire County Council, County
Buildings, Bewdley Road, Kidderminster,
DY11 6RQ.
