November 2022 Heather Hale and Ellie McCann from EDF energy came to St Peter's to educate
our A-level physicists about the past, current and future state of Nuclear
Power and its context within energy generation for the United Kingdom.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">They are both
currently working on the Hinkley Point C project and explained the needs and
challenges of the project, the massive effect it will have on the power
generation in our country, and how it will change the landscape in terms of
green power generation.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">They started with how energy in the UK has been produced in the past, how it is produced and
how it will be produced in future. They then discussed the details of how nuclear
generation works in fission and fusion processes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">They finished by
discussing their careers and answering student questions. Ellie is
a recent graduate, so was able to answer questions about her time at university
and what brought her into the nuclear industry.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9s5I8OvrGB3EmWxxHJdFgoR9vQUgHaik9HjcrnFZxrrHvAbNzXsPNXE_7yRX8EgAgze5WB6iXIvY-d3QHggt0zQn_RNx8ZFc9tUXEsDGcIc-BWNDd3BZ7NL8b1ujjaLcwThRxZblM867BZPfcJb5yaqWGKoZRe2hbDdFRHsDMoZwDgSIyecQmjnKp/s4032/20221128_110635.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2268" data-original-width="4032" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9s5I8OvrGB3EmWxxHJdFgoR9vQUgHaik9HjcrnFZxrrHvAbNzXsPNXE_7yRX8EgAgze5WB6iXIvY-d3QHggt0zQn_RNx8ZFc9tUXEsDGcIc-BWNDd3BZ7NL8b1ujjaLcwThRxZblM867BZPfcJb5yaqWGKoZRe2hbDdFRHsDMoZwDgSIyecQmjnKp/s320/20221128_110635.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Cambria, serif;">University of Gloucestershire Business Challenge</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: #0e101a; font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: left;">It has been a busy term for year 13 Business and Economics students as they have been competing in the University of Gloucestershire's Business School Challenge in which students were tasked with creating a new sustainable business idea for Gloucester.

Under 18s on the 15th November in the FA Cup. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">Kofi's performance was noted by Sky Sports and the Daily Mail and, writing for ‘Bristol Live,’ Sam Frost said: <span style="color: #141414;">“After a relatively quiet first half, the playmaker – aged just 16 –
gradually grew into the game until exploding into life and sparking
Rovers' comeback… Shaw flipped the game on its head with one moment of
incredible quality.</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color: #141414; font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">With 18 minutes to play, Shaw lined up a free-kick
25 yards from goal and he produced a stunning, swerving, dipping strike that
left goalkeeper Noah Phillips with no chance. It was a tremendous display of
technique, executing a high-tariff knuckleball strike to perfection.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="background: white; color: #141414; font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">If Shaw's first goal was a display
of technique, his second showed a nose for the goal. A few minutes after
agonisingly watching a cross pass just out of the reach of his head inside the
six-yard box, Shaw positioned himself perfectly again and this time he was able
to convert, tucking away Charlie White's low cross in stoppage time to force
the extra 30 minutes.”</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Turing Sports Programme<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">

Roadshow for Year 8 Students <o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">BAE Systems, the
Royal Airforce and the Royal Navy came together again this year for the Schools
Roadshow. The aim of the Roadshow is to
inform students about the broad and diverse range of career opportunities that
can be pursued by studying STEM Subjects (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">With a continued
shortage of engineering skills in the UK and lack of diversity across the
engineering sector, the roadshow aimed to inspire our year 8 students,
highlighting exciting career opportunities on offer and how these relate to
STEM subjects.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">This year’s show
focussed on “magnetism” and how magnets are used in a wide range of engineering
processes in aircraft and aeronautical equipment. A series of interactive demonstrations helped
to showcase various applications and bring the subject of magnetism to life
for pupils.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">BAE are proud of
the role they play to help address the UK skills gap and, by working alongside
government, the education sector and industry partners, they are committed to
developing a highly skilled workforce of the future. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">BAE employ more
than 34,000 people in the UK and are one of the country’s largest employers of
engineers, with around 66% of staff employed in engineering or engineering
related roles.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLcgAoM7_tf2aixJp8Njril6sqBwEyH5dYCNAc2dBof04LnZu3MEDBmtjz8y67t0C7sd3NrrF5oTZGb8DPBzlL_CW2lrZk7LkABSINwG8gFnFpWq0AWn7C5wEqSWPUvuvhhYWxJqgKrsCAk7WzOnVPQIRel5UIpMjrcx-mlIBtrq1_g4cdL7qAx7I/s1296/BAE.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="968" data-original-width="1296" height="239" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFLcgAoM7_tf2aixJp8Njril6sqBwEyH5dYCNAc2dBof04LnZu3MEDBmtjz8y67t0C7sd3NrrF5oTZGb8DPBzlL_CW2lrZk7LkABSINwG8gFnFpWq0AWn7C5wEqSWPUvuvhhYWxJqgKrsCAk7WzOnVPQIRel5UIpMjrcx-mlIBtrq1_g4cdL7qAx7I/s320/BAE.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><b>Chelsea's Story</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">On 11th November Year 8 students attended a performance of<b> </b></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif;">Chelsea’s Story,<b> </b></span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: Cambria, serif;">an internationally renowned,

Whether as members of the band, the ensemble or in one of the main roles, our students showed off their talents and both entertained and educated audiences about the industrial action taken by women at the Ford factory, Dagenham in 1968. The plot was uplifting and informative in conveying important themes about equal pay and women's rights in an often humorous way. And with a great soundtrack.</p><p>Thank you to the band, the cast, the crew and to Mrs Skyrme, Mrs Perfect, Mrs Greenow and Mrs Smith for this energetic, intelligent and enlightening production!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It was also lovely to see a huge number of prospective pupils and parents during open week and open evening. Our current students have been working hard in lessons and in a wide variety of extra curricular activities, some of which are reflected in this blogpost.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b>St. Peter’s celebrates the first term of 2022-23</b><o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Thursday 20<sup>th</sup> October saw the first of our termly
celebration assemblies where we reflected on and applauded a variety of endeavours and successes. Students spoke on a range of topics. Peace, a year 11 mentor, talked about the role
of a year 7 mentor; Charlie in year
12 talked about what it’s like to be a buddy to an overseas student as part of
our overseas students programme; Jennie in year 10 talked about her bronze ROCK
tie and what she had done to achieve it; Josh in year 10 talked about his
bronze DofE certificate and what he had done to achieve the bronze award. </p><p class="MsoNormal">As
well as hearing from student speakers we awarded ten year 10 students and one year 11 student with their bronze Duke of Edinburgh certificates and gave the attendance award to 7E. We
also had two interviews, the first with Salim who is a first team
football captain; he talked about some of our incredible cup success last
year and how this season has begun. The second interview was with Jess and Ruby in year 10
who were in character to give us a glimpse of the brilliant Made in
Dagenham school production taking place this week.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">It was an excellent morning and we look forward to celebrating more
success next term. Thank you to Mr Lax for coordinating this.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Ethos</span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Masses for the
start of the academic year were celebrated by Father Liam Slattery on Friday 30th September. As always, the atmosphere was wonderful with students focused and respectful and lots of student participation including readers, altar servers, newly commissioned Eucharistic Ministers (pictured below) and, of course, our fantastic singers and musicians. Both Masses ended with the enthusiastic singing of Sing it in the Valleys which has become the school's anthem.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxNr5yYHsnhVgjQGB417xIAVKsdkHo0ICiJkWZ3JtnDsTMoXzIHOo7xVEWLood7HPFRCJFePsXXLSKs5htLV868kUVZa09tJGjbPn-Eec-GP4MHHjrKoP3hpwtaIgl1ggHsceZARmMzsQX9Zt6NY_J9hJi7IDx3v0sAIr8ozJPSrooKCGfIruVOG7I/s6673/DSC_5665.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3741" data-original-width="6673" height="179" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxNr5yYHsnhVgjQGB417xIAVKsdkHo0ICiJkWZ3JtnDsTMoXzIHOo7xVEWLood7HPFRCJFePsXXLSKs5htLV868kUVZa09tJGjbPn-Eec-GP4MHHjrKoP3hpwtaIgl1ggHsceZARmMzsQX9Zt6NY_J9hJi7IDx3v0sAIr8ozJPSrooKCGfIruVOG7I/s320/DSC_5665.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"><br /></span></p>Year 7 and 12

Mrs Gittins, Ms Baker, Mr Newman, clerk to the governors, former governors and I represented the school community at his Requiem Mass on Friday 14th September at St Augustine's Catholic Church, Matson. We are extremely grateful to John for his unstinting commitment to the school.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Mrs Rosemary Steele who died last Friday 14th September at the age of 90 also served the school as a foundation governor for many years. She was equally dedicated to ensuring that our young people received the best education possible.</span></p>John and Rosemary remain in our prayers and we send our condolences to their families and friends.<p></p>

This programme began in 2018 but stopped soon after due to the pandemic. The programme involves students from overseas schools coming to St. Peter’s for a short period of time, usually 1 or 2 weeks. During the visit they 'buddy up' with a St. Peter’s student of a similar age and follow their timetable. The programme allows our students to meet young people from other parts of the world, make friends and, of course, they can keep in touch via social media.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">So far this year we have hosted a group from Italy for four days and two schools from Spain for two weeks each. Over fifty St. Peter’s students have been buddies with dozens more having put in a request to become one. As always, our students have been welcoming </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">hosts</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">; if their buddies have limited English, they try and help explain what’s going on in their lessons. The whole programme has been superb for educating our students about other cultures whilst also showing that, no matter where they are from, young people are the same with similar ambitions, challenges and dreams!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Thanks to Mr Lax for organising these visits.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><b>Double Gold ju-Jitsu Champion</b></span></p>

Eoin recently competed in his first triathlon in Falmouth. He had to complete all three elements: a 600m swim, a 20km bike ride and a 5km run.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Eoin finished the
triathlon in 1 hour and 19 minutes. He was eighth out of the water and
came nineteenth in his category which included the 15-39 year age group, a

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Congratulations to
Tyrese Olaniyan on achieving a gold medal in his first karate competition at
the regional karate competition held in Cannock in September. Tyrese, a
beginner, said, ‘As a yellow belt this was my first competition. When I got
there, we all bowed and then we were set into our categories. I went against my
opponent and did my kata (a series of moves) I was delighted to win gold in this
event!’ Well done Tyrese and good luck for the future!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Every Friday during morning study period a group of sixth form students volunteer to read with
younger students from year 7 and year 8 in the newly refurbished Sixth
Form Learning Centre. The younger students enjoy reading to the sixth form
volunteers who encourage them and chat to them about the book. Some weeks
they read together one to one while some students prefer reading the same book
in small groups. The younger students are developing their confidence while the
sixth formers enjoy their mentoring role with some bringing in their own books
from home to read with the students. Keep up the good work everyone.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">We have created an
alumni association to reconnect our community with those who have left. Our
vision is that assemblies, careers events, masses and open evenings can be
attended and supported by former students who can share their memories of St.
Peter’s as well as the incredible things they have gone on to do with their
lives. We know former students have a major role to play in inspiring the next
generation and sharing positivity and optimism amongst the whole school
community. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">If you are a
former student, please complete the <a href="https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=DQSIkWdsW0yxEjajBLZtrQAAAAAAAAAAAAFLULL_mG5UQ1pKTFVXVUVXUkpLRENTTU0wVE5ONlRFMC4u" target="_blank">Green Army registration form </a>and feel free
to share it as far and widely as possible. By completing the form, you are not
committing to anything but you may be happy to support our students in future
events such as careers days and sixth form open evenings.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></p>
We hope our students enjoy the half term break and look forward to seeing them again on Monday 31st October (week 2).<br />

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">We are equally
proud of students who have secured apprenticeships including those who chose
this route rather than going to university.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">The last two years
have been extremely testing for all these students, with long periods of remote
education and many students having to self-isolate at various times during the
previous academic year. Our Year 13 students are well-rounded young people who
exemplify our St Peter’s values of respect, optimism, community and kindness.
We are proud of their achievements and wish them all the very best for the next
stage of their education or employment.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt;">It was
wonderful to once again celebrate our Patron’s Mass for the feast of St Peter
and St Paul together on 29<sup>th</sup> June. It was a truly joyous occasion!
During the Mass celebrated by our Chair of Governors, Monsignor Liam, we had
the first unveiling of our St Peter’s Beacon. The Beacon, skilfully made by Mr
Green and Mr Lyne from the DT department, reminded us that we have an important
legacy, a flame of faith passed to us from Jesus to St Peter and throughout our
long history from our tiny beginnings in 1835.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt;">The beacon
was lit by candles which were presented at the Offertory. Each candle
represented the people who contribute to our ethos: our year saints, our
current and past members of staff and students, our families and our Diocesan
family.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We have
learned through the challenges of the last couple of years to truly ‘sing it in
the valleys and shout it from the mountain tops!’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt;">In June we
welcomed Dr Veronica Sawicki, a local GP who co-founded the Help Madina charity
in Sierra Leone. Dr Veronica spoke to several of the students in their RE
lessons about the rich culture of Sierra Leone and shared the valuable work of
the charity in providing medical care and support for the children and adults
in the town of Madina. One of the recent projects was providing water wells and
toilets – something we can often take for granted but which are vital for good
health. Our students presented Dr Veronica with a cheque for £1000 that we
raised through selling ice pops in school. You can find out more about the work
of this wonderful charity at </span><a href="http://www.helpmadina.org.uk/"><span style="color: #0563c1; font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; mso-themecolor: hyperlink;">http://www.helpmadina.org.uk/</span></a><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt;"> <o:p></o:p></span></p>

zones, perilous weather and uncomfortable closeness to bears in Canada were
also inspiring because of the kindness of strangers who tended his wounds after
a nasty bicycle accident en route, to paying for food and a hotel room and even
a Canadian ‘Mama bear group’ of 30 women who ensured his safety from town to
town across blizzard conditions in the Rocky Mountains.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;">Year 10
recently investigated a live crime scene in English. A mysterious tent appeared
on the field (police had already removed the dead body!) and students closely
explored all of the clues to solve the crime. They used this to consider
character, setting, plot and describing a brief moment of action. It was a great
exercise for the imagination. Thanks to Mrs Cawley.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The students gave a big round of applause to Mrs Adams in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Certificates were also presented to the three Year 8 students

The Year 11s joined the younger cohort for the first expedition, as Covid had interrupted their original assessed expedition. They set a great example and all passed. Most seemed keen to carry on with Gold next year, so watch this space.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">Y9 and Y10 did both expeditions just a few weeks apart, exploring the countryside of Wiltshire and Oxfordshire. They navigated on and around The Ridgeway, ventured into ancient hill forts and did some amazing expedition projects. The students are working hard towards the other sections of the qualification, so we should have a good crop of certificate holders very soon!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Thanks to Mr McAteer, Ms McAteer, Ms Deacon and Mr Newman for all their work with</span><span style="font-size: 12pt; mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">our Duke of Edinburgh students.</span> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCqfk8VyqmFeif39Vv391Pm8Jso8WW7APUNTqR_wjKE8r-6w2ZJpiRDiZPxi2-F8lZM7X7R5b-yOv_EPpxSC-L75XqFKFvGiJr8EAMdEweV46drOdpdyxG-87iTkTiBoomZ9TFuIslk0_FsCZwk81Dbb9xJRJ5HsjoeV6a1nSLbm1hAird73QUwYx8/s1037/bronze%202.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="560" data-original-width="1037" height="173" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCqfk8VyqmFeif39Vv391Pm8Jso8WW7APUNTqR_wjKE8r-6w2ZJpiRDiZPxi2-F8lZM7X7R5b-yOv_EPpxSC-L75XqFKFvGiJr8EAMdEweV46drOdpdyxG-87iTkTiBoomZ9TFuIslk0_FsCZwk81Dbb9xJRJ5HsjoeV6a1nSLbm1hAird73QUwYx8/s320/bronze%202.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbOESDYZogpe5HRIVbPoO52GfyxBhQ9kaPEm3BdUfHRCES5lxJ0g5KoN7kl71qdR-RVuwWZ0q3wV4Ej1cSE0aH29D_IXXvTwP4VpWkkoHL9GzW1KO6x2zw0BTwb3MW0d6uHrKLpgMjZzAFH11rB2H3XJEiE-qaAjfI41AEHaB9hd_334JDiaYAFWLh/s696/bronze%203.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="368" data-original-width="696" height="169" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbOESDYZogpe5HRIVbPoO52GfyxBhQ9kaPEm3BdUfHRCES5lxJ0g5KoN7kl71qdR-RVuwWZ0q3wV4Ej1cSE0aH29D_IXXvTwP4VpWkkoHL9GzW1KO6x2zw0BTwb3MW0d6uHrKLpgMjZzAFH11rB2H3XJEiE-qaAjfI41AEHaB9hd_334JDiaYAFWLh/s320/bronze%203.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMfKtz6dQMN_Z6TRDXtnQ867ss4JTifF4ptwKm8ZptU13i-lJGtEp2EXtVRMwX24lmK-2q09DRkFxEMs4neZ1pQoldGUdhsMLlHzdQkXz89LhcjgXkOUqAeNGHHXtg8eiQfxRYrWm9-JJbV3UBv1oLfKdzGbNfLqPUlAyhPvzdKkX6d2GEIN1-3MpJ/s503/Bronze%201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="378" data-original-width="503" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMfKtz6dQMN_Z6TRDXtnQ867ss4JTifF4ptwKm8ZptU13i-lJGtEp2EXtVRMwX24lmK-2q09DRkFxEMs4neZ1pQoldGUdhsMLlHzdQkXz89LhcjgXkOUqAeNGHHXtg8eiQfxRYrWm9-JJbV3UBv1oLfKdzGbNfLqPUlAyhPvzdKkX6d2GEIN1-3MpJ/s320/Bronze%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT5cG4zkpN1EKWaPPlxVMUYpoPFjuHdItYlJhENN7sSBK3okHMWwb036gWZax-0qvL6UMSy4TVDVOuQVm6kRRLK2TGTEk-LNVvg4meqTlHRtvw1xMnoKLSddhrQrBAmdNOjTQy1P3sHu11DA_ls3rxcJRxVoVy2sNnWKIg5MR1bRvqpkeRJQYM4Sf7/s626/bronze4.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="385" data-original-width="626" height="197" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT5cG4zkpN1EKWaPPlxVMUYpoPFjuHdItYlJhENN7sSBK3okHMWwb036gWZax-0qvL6UMSy4TVDVOuQVm6kRRLK2TGTEk-LNVvg4meqTlHRtvw1xMnoKLSddhrQrBAmdNOjTQy1P3sHu11DA_ls3rxcJRxVoVy2sNnWKIg5MR1bRvqpkeRJQYM4Sf7/s320/bronze4.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Duke of Edinburgh - Gold expedition<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

themselves and the school proud.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

conducted a sponsored walk to raise money, held a no printing day, learnt about
COP26, launched a campaign to turn off the lights (Timmy the Turtle became our
mascot for this!), created a termly newsletter to share our knowledge and
achievements with the school community (check out our previous editions on the
school website), we have created a wildlife pond with one of our members who secured
a bursary for this task, we have installed bird boxes and hedgehog boxes around
the school site, created display boards in science, as well as lots of other
fun activities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">However, we also want to make more of a difference to our

connections with local primary schools, work towards reducing single use
plastic and increase awareness in our school community. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

about other world faiths as it forms an important part of Religious Education
at St Peter's. As the Church says, “The love for all men and women is
necessarily also a love for their culture. Catholic schools are, by their very
vocation, intercultural.” <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Year 7 have spent homework time producing and then presenting
an outstanding array of creative, and thought-provoking project work. We have
seen carefully crafted and detailed models, media videos, paintings, posters,
textile work, PPT presentations and a quite a number of delicious cakes and
other foods, all of which were connected with the religion of Judaism. It has
been our pleasure to see the creative nature of our children come to life and
see the fruits of their work. Below are some images of what has been produced,
but they really are just a small sample of what our students created. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Return of Geography Fieldwork<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Summer 2022 has seen the return of a
full complement of fieldwork provided by the Geography department.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">It started in June with two days of
fieldwork for our Year 10 GCSE Geography students, who spent a day in the
Forest of Dean examining the changing nature of river meanders at Blackpool
Brook near Blakeney.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The weather was
fair and students enjoyed getting into the river to collect primary data about
width, depth and velocity of the river.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The following day, the students travelled to Gloucester Quays to
investigate the regeneration of the dock area, and to collect human primary
data, which included questionnaires for the public as well as measuring the
environmental quality. The Year 10
students represented the school wonderfully and really took the opportunity to develop key fieldwork skills that are required for their unit 3 exam
in Year 11.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiO3Lk0d5CyDxFQIUKH6syCfk2O8XHva1xIX-anjmze4BDbfB3D0Cpa05UTPB4xNIV-yriG8MG47ZXwxvXv_hWgjAKmdvbui1__94KgMXe_qveNYZ7FFfrKWtKLXPTBMNVUEtStVCxaMNTb__tUKO_Na6gqmpp4D8EWKeivOKGDrLjLm0cbvNloFF_/s552/Quays.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="552" data-original-width="414" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiO3Lk0d5CyDxFQIUKH6syCfk2O8XHva1xIX-anjmze4BDbfB3D0Cpa05UTPB4xNIV-yriG8MG47ZXwxvXv_hWgjAKmdvbui1__94KgMXe_qveNYZ7FFfrKWtKLXPTBMNVUEtStVCxaMNTb__tUKO_Na6gqmpp4D8EWKeivOKGDrLjLm0cbvNloFF_/s320/Quays.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The following week, 240 year 7
students descended on Westonbirt Arboretum for our annual trip (the first since
2019). The year 7 students were split
into two separate groups and one half were taken around the old arboretum to
collect information about the quality of environment in relation to Westonbirt
as a tourism destination.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This
experience introduced the students to the basic concepts of fieldwork, and
allowed them to develop their knowledge and understanding about tourist
attractions which is part of their Year 7 Geography curriculum.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The other half were taken to the Silk Wood
where they took part in an orienteering experience, where they had to put their
map reading skills to the test and find a range of locations within the
woods.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students enjoyed both
experiences, and it was a fabulous experience for all of them, and simply
wonderful to be able to get the students out into the field after the
disruptions due to the pandemic.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJH9P0kFqbtHrocOshuluEfv_4C04Nfw1WbY1rnwRLVCrqmgGE3m8NySn8_lckbzyBFtzsiMUwkvEhF2sdtKzPPdB2KPJzHkZWK8KquL_cbL7sy9tnwMpGO12KlXDcCW5RBuiiTrGIKo2T-cbu_L9byORQ0OcKwOVhWybkLPBVshj2WbcKyMqPW7U/s651/Wesstonbirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="651" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgJH9P0kFqbtHrocOshuluEfv_4C04Nfw1WbY1rnwRLVCrqmgGE3m8NySn8_lckbzyBFtzsiMUwkvEhF2sdtKzPPdB2KPJzHkZWK8KquL_cbL7sy9tnwMpGO12KlXDcCW5RBuiiTrGIKo2T-cbu_L9byORQ0OcKwOVhWybkLPBVshj2WbcKyMqPW7U/s320/Wesstonbirt.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><br /></span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Finally, our Year 12 students took
part in four days of fieldwork experience, both locally and further afield.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students collected data along a transect across
the Gloucester Quays, collecting a range of data such as air quality,
environmental quality and noise pollution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Students investigated a range of sampling techniques, and put this into
action when collecting the data during busy times of the day.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Year 12 also were able to travel outside of
Gloucestershire, firstly to the Quantock Hills to investigate the differing
rates of infiltration on a hill slope in an upland area, and then to the Brecon
Beacons to investigate the glacial landforms left behind after the last ice
age.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students really valued this
experience of getting to areas that are not local.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Our final day of fieldwork took us to the
University of Gloucestershire in Cheltenham to work with the outreach team to
help students with their NEA project.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Our A-Level Geography students were privileged to be able to experience
a lecture from Professor Kenny Lynch about the skills involved in finding
relevant literature for their NEA, as well as a lecture on using GIS
(Geographical Information Systems) with Dr Lucy Clarke.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The day then finished with a tour of the FCH
campus in Cheltenham, before a Q&A with current students.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was a wonderful experience for all involved.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZy892r-uXm8p2O-IpTLD2WghtJWd6sdf76EvYRGgloySNn32FXDnl7k-oVbnGQuLm1WSuHjO82Zgs1P_uBDBvV740puqGcOM3t-Y0O8x5yJ1GmjvfQhzezjsbs65yEgjxEuL4uQLvLSZkEsn2ni4FE56NJt78B-tKbOx4UnrbaeMN5ROzMmFXSTE/s600/Brecon.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="549" data-original-width="600" height="293" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjZy892r-uXm8p2O-IpTLD2WghtJWd6sdf76EvYRGgloySNn32FXDnl7k-oVbnGQuLm1WSuHjO82Zgs1P_uBDBvV740puqGcOM3t-Y0O8x5yJ1GmjvfQhzezjsbs65yEgjxEuL4uQLvLSZkEsn2ni4FE56NJt78B-tKbOx4UnrbaeMN5ROzMmFXSTE/s320/Brecon.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrybHUCL6cB66hloSLd00Fq9nXjow9LX1h838DHq38gGOIC0-7eNMhIaNzIjTCHvBr0OLQSxcNoNmiNd7ytJv1FUbHDm1gAPhNSwtSsZQ9B6Pcr-XtQDrNtvfTSi5AIX0COg-qe_3m9JjBq82Bke614wu4JRXF4fOc98czneRqOe_o_WiAFzQHWNGG/s498/Glos%20uni.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="498" data-original-width="374" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrybHUCL6cB66hloSLd00Fq9nXjow9LX1h838DHq38gGOIC0-7eNMhIaNzIjTCHvBr0OLQSxcNoNmiNd7ytJv1FUbHDm1gAPhNSwtSsZQ9B6Pcr-XtQDrNtvfTSi5AIX0COg-qe_3m9JjBq82Bke614wu4JRXF4fOc98czneRqOe_o_WiAFzQHWNGG/s320/Glos%20uni.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Thank you to Mr Williams and all the geography staff for this year's field trips.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">On Thursday 26<sup>th</sup> Mary our Under
14 boys travelled to The Hawthorns for the final of the National Cup. They
played a team from the Horizons Community College team from Barnsley. The green army
travelled en masse with just under 500 of our students vocally supporting the team
who were, unusually, wearing yellow! The boys played really well and did brilliantly to come back from
0:2 down to make it 2:2 at full time. It was tough that the game was then settled
on penalties - such a harsh way to lose - but we are all incredibly proud of the
boys, of our supporters and, of course, of Mr McDermott who has led the
football teams to amazing success this season. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoFfeDiWefwVT_oMbxSrqmqI5IhCEBKc7kY_aKp5Ym8NrWZluxaUrldVpNr_PA0lxDpJr4P9ImMPhEOYPCpXpbmvrEIAPFuTtecr-cmZPRtdNAvrqhEjKu_js4XLNTiB39BnBzknXGV9SZR0TyUtRo9y1Fh9H89eBRTeqKY7Cn5go9KuQnhhx78_y/s680/U14%20football.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="680" data-original-width="510" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguoFfeDiWefwVT_oMbxSrqmqI5IhCEBKc7kY_aKp5Ym8NrWZluxaUrldVpNr_PA0lxDpJr4P9ImMPhEOYPCpXpbmvrEIAPFuTtecr-cmZPRtdNAvrqhEjKu_js4XLNTiB39BnBzknXGV9SZR0TyUtRo9y1Fh9H89eBRTeqKY7Cn5go9KuQnhhx78_y/s320/U14%20football.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">You can read more about this in

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Following the call of Pope Francis in his
letter Laudato Si’ (to Care for the Earth our Common Home) we welcomed primary chaplaincy
teams from The Little Way Catholic Partnership at the beginning of this term.
During our day together we explored the theme of ‘God’s Wonderful Creation’.
Pupils enjoyed the opportunity to meet and work with one another in three
workshops: a lovely art workshop producing beautiful pictures of our favourite
animals; the CAFOD Climate game where we<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>learned about our responsibilities to care for God’s Creation; and
Esther, one of our Year 10 students, led a nature walk workshop exploring our
bird boxes and bug hotel. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">We shared prayer, partnership and positive actions
for the future. Everyone went home happy with an environmentally friendly

the team have been caring for our Magnificat Memorial Garden planting bee
friendly lavender and sunflowers. Our new water butt has arrived and is
situated in the garden to make the watering task easier and more
environmentally friendly. Soon we will have a beautiful statue of Our Lady to

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">During the last week of half term, Year 10 and Year
12 Drama students enjoyed a workshop delivered by
the acclaimed theatre company Frantic Assembly. Students thoroughly enjoyed
working with the world renowned practitioners in preparation for their devised
performances next term and were excellent ambassadors for the school. Thank you to Mrs Skyrme for organising this beneficial workshop.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Year 10 students
recently competed in a school ‘Poetry by Heart’ competition. Finalists
performed from memory poems from the GCSE anthology and were excitedly cheered
on by their peers. We even had a musical rendition of Carol Ann Duffy’s ‘Before
You Were Mine’ accompanied by electric guitar! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Staff were really
impressed by the performances. Many students overcame a lot of nervousness to
stand up publicly and perform and all had put a great deal of time and energy
into memorising poems in their entirety. We had some really heartfelt
performances, many of which provoked an emotional response from the audience.
It was particularly fantastic to see the enthusiasm of the audience. Year 10
classmates were active in helping finalists to rehearse and perfect their
performances and were very vocally supportive during the finals. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

Shop<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Last term we opened St. Peter’s school shop
‘St Pick n’ Mix’. The shop has been set up and run by students who have taken
ownership for ordering and managing stock, alongside marketing and serving
customers. The shop is open every Friday in BS2 and sells a variety of school
equipment including revision cards, pens and highlighters. Students have
decided that any profits made will be used to contribute to an outdoor ping
pong table for students that can be used during break and lunch.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Asdan

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Mrs Turner writes:
‘Members of the ASDAN group who were at the end of their course cooked a roast
dinner from scratch. I demonstrated and the students while followed
instructions and did everything themselves. Wendy from year 11 joined us and
made a great partnership with Freya to cook a cauliflower cheese. They were all
brilliant and enjoyed everything they made, Needless to say there was nothing
left over and we ate it as a group as a final farewell.’<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">This was a great
way for them to conclude the course. Thank you to Mrs Turner for this and for
all her work with our students.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"><br /></span></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvOvCkMSPkuUhxZqmCFm3CLoQ1gZNGRVhhavoZ0-oSKTGKfdlCpvXiLR0doSsH2bNy7sjquC9s2Gi0Fm9XPthmo32s58feYKIIl8tsVb9Gb98o9nKq3xmugZoeecK7KkDZSvfIYSznXJkpQdQD-ecsyHZuz_LjmnCHhOYAN-7IZA2q8VW5YJFWRT3l/s320/asdan%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvOvCkMSPkuUhxZqmCFm3CLoQ1gZNGRVhhavoZ0-oSKTGKfdlCpvXiLR0doSsH2bNy7sjquC9s2Gi0Fm9XPthmo32s58feYKIIl8tsVb9Gb98o9nKq3xmugZoeecK7KkDZSvfIYSznXJkpQdQD-ecsyHZuz_LjmnCHhOYAN-7IZA2q8VW5YJFWRT3l/s1600/asdan%202.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6jOBT1fXqxLySeI25v28wSPlolHe0czWlai4AmHs6k4Dka2_pnrgtzU-vdQBU-4fxVNzTq9fo43KJLqC7gTWdGZRWLINZ1nANf4Y45uqzdhJHWfPgksekynFy9KB0IrN-SsdOZY6PgM4I15SSJh9Nea9o5poSJAsQDpEwwObi9DEKng5MUFO_RTcj/s320/ASDAN%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6jOBT1fXqxLySeI25v28wSPlolHe0czWlai4AmHs6k4Dka2_pnrgtzU-vdQBU-4fxVNzTq9fo43KJLqC7gTWdGZRWLINZ1nANf4Y45uqzdhJHWfPgksekynFy9KB0IrN-SsdOZY6PgM4I15SSJh9Nea9o5poSJAsQDpEwwObi9DEKng5MUFO_RTcj/s1600/ASDAN%201.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg40c0zib0KF6IAXDYCtbwFt7FI9tmjNJVYv5zT0I9sU93yb8eoDIobursf8aHcOwOuin6C93g-pQQQS0wFTYNUmB52yga7cSCiQcygGxd7AIirAhwGJyfwk7zRHSNBsLdPayT-n0iYzoCOnVSo2M0INpIZUY-lpVReemmR3tvDOWUbVS7-vvqR9MHq/s320/asdan%203.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg40c0zib0KF6IAXDYCtbwFt7FI9tmjNJVYv5zT0I9sU93yb8eoDIobursf8aHcOwOuin6C93g-pQQQS0wFTYNUmB52yga7cSCiQcygGxd7AIirAhwGJyfwk7zRHSNBsLdPayT-n0iYzoCOnVSo2M0INpIZUY-lpVReemmR3tvDOWUbVS7-vvqR9MHq/s1600/asdan%203.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Year 13 student Asia
recently visited her former primary school, Tredworth Primary, and delivered an
assembly on the theme of ‘Local Heroes’. She is currently taking her A level
examinations and has been offered a place at the University of Cambridge to
study Psychology. She spoke to the primary school students about aiming high
and overcoming challenges. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">This year Asia has
also been mentored by an Oxbridge graduate through the Zero Gravity scheme
which supports state school students through the challenging application
process to Russell Group institutions. We are immensely proud of her
achievements and wish her the very best of luck as she continues her external
examinations.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Sunday 1 May, the Jazz Band once again took to the stage at the Cheltenham Jazz
Festival. The pandemic meant that they had not had the opportunity to perform
on such a prestigious platform since 2018 and therefore all but two students
are new to the band! Understandably beforehand, the students were nervous;
however, as soon as they started playing to the large and enthusiastic crowd,
musicality, confidence and pure enjoyment took over. During the fantastic
30-minute set, the band was talent-spotted and has been booked for a gig in
Cheltenham Town Hall in December. Congratulations all!<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Ofsted
Inspection: Good in all areas<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We are delighted that the Ofsted report on the January 2022 inspection
graded St Peter’s R.C. High School as Good in all categories, including: The
Quality of Education, Leadership and Management, Personal development,
Behaviour and attitudes, and Sixth-form provision.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">During the two day visit, a team of inspectors observed
lessons and free time, spoke to staff, and gained the views of parents and of
students of all ages. </span><span style="background: white; font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; letter-spacing: .4pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial;">Pupils told inspectors that they enjoy school and feel
well-supported by staff.</span><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"> Sixth form students said they were ‘proud to
attend the school and value the education they receive’. Inspectors noted that the young people can
engage in the ‘many extra-curricular opportunities’ offered in the school and
that ‘pupils develop a breadth of knowledge and skills in many subjects.’ Students also spoke about actively
participating in year councils and in the student council which, the inspectors
noted, ‘has a strong voice that is listened to by school leaders’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Leaders were found to have ‘established strong systems for
managing students’ behaviour’ and the team stated that in lessons there was ‘a
calm, harmonious learning environment’.
Inspectors noticed ‘students are punctual to lessons and attend school
well’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I have the pleasure of working with a hugely talented team of
teaching and support staff and it is an honour to work with our students who
every day demonstrate the values we aim to instil in them and which we know
will stand them in good stead in the future. They demonstrated this throughout
the inspection and I am delighted that the work of staff, students and
governors has been recognised by Ofsted. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The governing body work extremely hard to support and
challenge school staff and their work was also recognised. They were found to
be ‘knowledgeable about the school, to monitor safeguarding arrangement well’
and are ‘mindful of the well-being of staff’. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We were especially pleased that ‘overwhelmingly, staff stated
that they are proud to work at the school.’<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Thank you to our staff and students!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimXqODxgxh8bAbgxGLq2hr6-hU4Kms1F9EemMV9uQwz2AKfzXVWeBBsdpUZj_l7Bvjityxbu2cDbGlLoOAV_9RvY1zo0QTA09pyPC5JbZInV-rqlapXbahX6zHxq_VrBnmAY_MixfSF_exu4VQqKG-TIsmrsUjWYVpOH9ntAOAQ0Fa9htDTDrCa90N/s1375/Ofsted.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="692" data-original-width="1375" height="161" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimXqODxgxh8bAbgxGLq2hr6-hU4Kms1F9EemMV9uQwz2AKfzXVWeBBsdpUZj_l7Bvjityxbu2cDbGlLoOAV_9RvY1zo0QTA09pyPC5JbZInV-rqlapXbahX6zHxq_VrBnmAY_MixfSF_exu4VQqKG-TIsmrsUjWYVpOH9ntAOAQ0Fa9htDTDrCa90N/s320/Ofsted.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Chaplaincy

very busy time in the Chaplaincy this term with four Liturgies to celebrate the
lives of our year group patron saints: Year 7 (St Angela Merici), Year 8 (St
John Bosco), Year 12 (St Josephine Bakhita), and Year 13 (St Oscar Romero). Our
year saints inspire and remind us of the importance of Catholic social justice
teaching. Each one worked tirelessly for the education of the young, the grace
of mercy and the need to be actively engaged in the mission of the church
against human trafficking and to support the rights of the poor.</span></p>

with The Good Shepherd Ukrainian Catholic Church in Gloucester launched an
appeal in school for donations in aid of the people of Ukraine. People feel the

our news reports.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm; mso-hyphenate: none; text-autospace: ideograph-other; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Within a few days we were inundated with
donations from our parents and students of tinned and dried food, batteries,
nappies, toiletries, money donations and much more. Our chapel was filled to
the brim thanks to the generosity and kindness of the community. A team of
students worked hard for two days sorting and boxing the donations. The
students helped to fill our large minibus to the brim and they and our

YES FLEETWOOD. We took on the mammoth 4 and half hour journey, departing school at 7.15am.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">We arrived at Rossall school on the Lancashire coast to be greeted by a fantastic breeze and very tough conditions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">The team we faced included 3 England and Manchester City academy players and a host of international students that follow a full-time football programme.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">The first 20 minutes were scrappy and both teams struggled to get to grips with conditions. Playing with the wind behind us we were having to battle hard to keep possession and playing forward the wind was taking everything through to the keeper directly. Following a deflected shot, we had a passage of play from a corner that resulted in a scrappy goal that was calmly slotted home by Martha Riglar. Immediately after this we won possession high up the pitch and another resulting corner was picked up on the edge of box and fired into the top corner by Isobel Kinsella. In the space of a couple of minutes we found ourselves 2-0 up and we were pushing for more. Half time came luckily for Rossall as were on the front foot.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">The second half began and we knew we had a tough job to defend our lead against some cracking players and the almighty breeze coming down the middle of the pitch. We defended heroically during the first 20 minutes of the second half with Abbie Carter in the St Peter's goal having the game of her life and Martha Riglar having to take more goal kicks than she ever has. In the 24<sup>th</sup> minute Rossall got the breakthrough as they scored with a thunderous header from a corner. At this point it was one way traffic and what happened next changed the game for St Peter's. We had a spell of 5 minutes where we managed to keep the ball higher up the pitch and Kinsella managed to pick the pocket of the Rossall centre half and scored our third goal. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">3-1 up with 15 minutes to play and we continued to defend and clear the ball. A couple of dubious offside decisions and some serious added time were not enough for Rossall - they scored again late on but it didn’t affect the final result as the girls WON 3-2 and progressed to the national finals! (Date and venue to be confirmed.)<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 17.12px;">It was an incredible performance and the result made the return journey very manageable indeed!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Under 14s

ourselves 2-0 down in the first 15 minutes and the occasion appeared to be
getting the better of us. On the stroke of half time a 40 yard free kick from
Woody Burgess found the roof of the net and the half time team talk changed. We
started the second half on the front foot and pushed hard for an equaliser, we
had to wait until deep in the second half for it to come. It came from the
penalty spot as Sopruchucko Obieri scored
and we took this directly into extra time.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-no-proof: yes;"> During extra time we pushed

off a fantastic move. This was a turning point in the game and our opponents
suddenly stepped up their game; they began playing like a side that had ten category 1 academy players in it. To put this in context, our side boasts one category 2 player and three category 3 academy players. We have done incredibly
well to get to this point. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Gradually the home side got on top all over the

Friday 18</span><sup style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"> March the Politics department welcomed Lord Balfe (remotely but live) to our
classroom to talk to our politics students. The event was part of the </span><b style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Learn
with the Lords</b><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"> outreach programme and it proved to be a fascinating and
engaging 45 minutes. Lord Balfe spoke for 10 minutes about his role within the
Lords as well as the role of the Lords within our political system. After his
opening lecture we had a Q&A session where students took turns to come up
to the camera and ask Lord Balfe questions. These ranged from straightforward
questions about his daily tasks to topical issues such as Covid, Brexit and the
Ukraine conflict. Mr Lax's personal favourite was Callum asking who Lord Balfe felt
was the most effective Prime Minister from the past 20 years only for the answer to be a PM
from longer ago – ever the politician!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: right;">The
whole event was a superb addition to our classroom learning and provided some
wonderfully forthright answers from Lord Balfe who was not afraid to be
critical of government action when necessary (he has been a member of both the Labour
and the Conservative parties over his long career). Afterwards the students fed back
on the experience and it’s clear this was a great programme and one we will
re-visit every year. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; text-align: right;">Thank you to Mr Lax.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv5g7PLESJH9d3qXDaSDXrzM2z1Vh4dZbI5nnnTrgbvQuTA-pX7JI-bnF3kmLKaVq6rKxkPFONUziUZifu4Iwf2RwuvBXpxWxFNy8zEtqP6Ze2s2ZUe0cSo-N9euUOCeEdx-rewcwyRdYMLaooMLpxASiImqUtNQL-Ta4ae078Rw1Mz-yzYicyqKCE/s320/Politics.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="240" data-original-width="320" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhv5g7PLESJH9d3qXDaSDXrzM2z1Vh4dZbI5nnnTrgbvQuTA-pX7JI-bnF3kmLKaVq6rKxkPFONUziUZifu4Iwf2RwuvBXpxWxFNy8zEtqP6Ze2s2ZUe0cSo-N9euUOCeEdx-rewcwyRdYMLaooMLpxASiImqUtNQL-Ta4ae078Rw1Mz-yzYicyqKCE/s1600/Politics.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12.0pt;">We hope that you and your families have a safe and peaceful Easter holiday and look forward to seeing our students in school on Monday 25th April (week 2 books and equipment).<br /><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="border: none; mso-border-bottom-alt: solid windowtext 1.5pt; mso-padding-alt: 0cm 0cm 1.0pt 0cm; padding: 0cm;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></p></div>St Peter's R.C.

Thursday 16</span><sup style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">th</sup><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 12pt;"> we were delighted that we were able to have a live
streamed Christmas liturgy from St Peter’s Church, Gloucester, with some of our
students reprising pieces from Carols by Candlelight. Ms Baker, our Chaplain,
introduced the theme of the liturgy: ‘How silently, how silently, the wondrous
gift is given.’ Mrs Donovan, who is leaving St Peter’s at the end of term, read from the
gospel of St Luke. We are grateful to Monsignor Liam Slattery for the use of
the Church and, of course, for his prayers and homily.</span></p>

City Mission is a charity that supports the homeless, those living in temporary
accommodation, sofa surfers and those in need of support with clothing,
toiletries, food or advice. They run purely on donations in order that they can
offer food, drinks, clothes, toiletries and advice to people when they are at
their lowest point. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">Our pupils collected warm clothes from all members of staff
at St Peter’s and deposited the clothes to Revive Coffee House.</span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">All pupils thoroughly enjoyed helping others

celebrated our start of the year Masses (in two halves) with Monsignor Liam Slattery
on Friday 24th September. This was the first time we had been able to join

Rock’ and both Masses were wonderful occasions with brilliant attentiveness and
respect demonstrated by students. Our four head students read the prayers of the
faithful and, as usual, our students - led by the music department - contributed
magnificently to the occasion through their beautiful playing and singing. Of
course, we finished with our unofficial school hymn, Sing it in the Valleys!</span></p>

<p class="MsoListParagraph" style="margin-left: 0cm; mso-add-space: auto;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">The team started the academic year with a
brand-new venture: Music Champions. After months of virtual performances, the
staff wanted to kickstart live music again and were delighted by the response. Five
weeks of auditions took place with over 60 students taking part, some in
several different categories. After much deliberation, the team settled on 20
finalists and the Grand Final took place on Thursday 21st October in the Main
Hall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Again, this was the first time we
had been able to gather together in the hall in person since the whole school production
in October 2019. We were delighted to welcome back two former music students,
Hannah Thomas and Avygayle Smith to be our adjudicators alongside the Creative
Director of The Music Works, Ben O’Sullivan. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Every student
performed wonderfully in a wide range of genres which made the adjudication extremely
difficult. Thank you also to members of FOSPA, the Friends of St Peter’s
Association, who provided refreshments.</span></p>

Peter’s A level mathematicians entered the UKMT Senior Maths Challenge which is
a highly regarded national competition. A large group of sixth formers tackled
the tricky maths problems (all to be solved without a calculator), enhancing
their thinking skills as the questions are often ‘outside the box’.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">We are delighted that St Peter's gained 5 UKMT Bronze certificates and
that the Best in School and Silver certificates went to Amelia King for a
superb effort. Well done Amelia!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All
participating pupils are commended with positive SIMS and a UKMT certificate
which will be presented soon. Edward Cutting won the Best in Year 12 Title,
only missing a Silver Certificate by 2 points. Bronze certificate scores were
also achieved by Jamie Fulford, Samarth Khurana, Patrick Riggall and Steven
Smith. Well done all!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></p>

November<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">In the first week
back after October half term, St. Peter’s students experienced a range of
events relating to Parliament Week. The week was designed to introduce all
students to the concept of Parliament, democracy and the role of MPs. They
undertook various activities such as a 360 degree tour of the House of Commons,
being MP for a week, a Parliament Quiz, running debates on topical issues in
the manner of Parliament, and reading diary excerpts from former MP Chris Mullins.
The week finished with a visit by County Councillor Andrew Miller (pictured below) who spoke to
our Key Stage 5 politics students plus a select number of year 11 pupils. The
week has enhanced students’ understanding of fundamental British values and our system of government. Thanks to Mr Lax for
his lead on this very useful series of activities.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">St. Peter’s hosted
our latest and most ambitious Careers Fair on Friday 26<sup>th</sup> November. 36
employers and providers attended to speak to our year 13, 12, 11 and 10 students during
the morning. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Our exhibitors ranged from engineering companies to construction,
the armed forces, hospitality providers and others whilst we had a range of universities
and other HE institutions covering courses such as drama, law, music and sport
and, finally, colleges offering post-16 courses. As well as attending the fair,
students were able to listen to one of 7 careers talks delivered by the experts
in their field. Talks ranged from careers in the civil service and army to
apprenticeships and T levels and all students attended at least one of these. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Local MP, Richard Graham, visited the school for the fourth time, spoke to many
of our students and even offered the chance of work experience in his office
for interested students.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">The morning was a huge
success with feedback from the exhibitors telling us what we already know –
that our students are amazing! They said our students were very well prepared, proactive,
had done their research, were attentive and polite. Speaking to several
students since, it’s clear that some now have firm ideas on their careers path
whilst others now have more questions and ideas to research. This was a wonderful

The students and staff have been remarkably resilient in spite of the numerous changes to our usual practices and the impact of lockdowns and self-isolation. We have become accustomed to teaching remotely, to virtual meetings and parents evenings and, of course, to all the systems put in place to mitigate against Covid-19.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-size: 15pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Chaplaincy

students have met in their year groups and reflected on the Sacrament of Reconciliation
and the Eucharist. Due to Covid-19 restrictions we had to celebrate two

calendar and each year saints' feast days through virtual liturgies. For the
feast of our Patron Saint Peter on 29<sup>th</sup> June we returned to our
roots with a live streamed Mass with Monsignor Liam Slattery at St Peter’s Church in Gloucester. A small number of our choir and musicians gathered for the Mass which was live streamed back to
school and was accessible globally on line in the true spirit of the
evangelising ministry of St Peter. </span></span></p><p class="xmsonormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It was lovely to see M</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">rs Beamish who led us in our prayers and

Liam preached on the Gospel of the ‘Calming of the Storm’ and, taking Pope
Francis’s words, he reminded us that </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">faith is like a lamp which guides our way. The lamp of faith does
not take fear away but shows us a path to follow that can guide us through fear
and difficult times. Whilst we have certainly experienced some storms this year, we have also seen much to be thankful for in our school community.</span></span></p><p class="xmsonormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRQ9Eva2xy-Yf84g0-evoJ9K9zeUVSTbE5uxsDZEm0NJEjRPY0PGqIZkniPbwZZiWHRW31F3MeVoRsDLvu2M-FujRrnDfvHCE7_HMqPhvSOkH6FbIvVXsoricu49K61RmwF-mNkMjaWQ/s640/Mass+for+SS+Peter+%2526+Paul.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhmRQ9Eva2xy-Yf84g0-evoJ9K9zeUVSTbE5uxsDZEm0NJEjRPY0PGqIZkniPbwZZiWHRW31F3MeVoRsDLvu2M-FujRrnDfvHCE7_HMqPhvSOkH6FbIvVXsoricu49K61RmwF-mNkMjaWQ/s320/Mass+for+SS+Peter+%2526+Paul.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><div style="text-align: center;">(screenshot of the live streamed Mass)</div><span><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></span></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 16pt; line-height: 107%;">Mass for St Peter’s staff<o:p></o:p></span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal">

youngest award winner this year is <b>Esther
Rumsey</b>. Esther applied for money to “re-wild” the school environment to
create more animal and insect friendly areas around the school site. Her
application was detailed and thoughtfully written. It is wonderful to see a
pupil who has the interests of others in mind. We cannot wait to see the benefits
for the whole school community.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpj8HmD7Kl4RWaW4Y1TKlzPOjQ5pAh6jMNzHVv6LJV8plEz35Zfyqz4RL5RVkQLbyFlIFe2D68k02ok4-_CGxbABixO7EEARxG6qk3Z8lo2YrTAp_wShegxU4RDlRSZN0OWmgYXzDPvm0/s640/Anna+McGurk+bursary+winners.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><img border="0" data-original-height="480" data-original-width="640" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpj8HmD7Kl4RWaW4Y1TKlzPOjQ5pAh6jMNzHVv6LJV8plEz35Zfyqz4RL5RVkQLbyFlIFe2D68k02ok4-_CGxbABixO7EEARxG6qk3Z8lo2YrTAp_wShegxU4RDlRSZN0OWmgYXzDPvm0/w400-h300/Anna+McGurk+bursary+winners.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: georgia;"><br /><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Thank you to all

</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Girls' Sport and Wellbeing Week brought a wide range of
sporting stars to St Peter’s to give our female students a broad and enriching
programme focussed around improving the girls’ physical and mental wellbeing. Every day every girl from year 7-10 got to experience an activity of their choice from. We were incredibly lucky to have such a high
calibre of athlete and coaches is an understatement! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Day One- Rugby and Zumba: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">On Monday our very own Ms Tatyana Heard ran a series of
fantastic rugby sessions focussing on basic ball handling skills and movement
right through to some touch rugby games. Tatyana currently plays for Gloucester
Hartpury RFC and has received 4 caps playing for England. The highlight of the
day was every student putting herself into a new environment and working
with each other collaboratively in different game situations. Zumba saw our
girls getting in their groove, working through a variety of routines to Latin
music. Zumba focusses on mixing dance steps with fitness exercises to get a
really high intensity routine. The girls greatly enjoyed this and it was great to
see all of the students work through some complicated footwork and trying
something new and outside their comfort zone. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Day Two- Basketball
& Clubbercise: <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">On Tuesday we were very
lucky to have Molly James at school who has been offered to play Basketball in
the USA in Division 2 of the NCAA Basketball league. As a local girl from
Bristol Molly was an Acro Gymnast till the age of 14 where she then gave up
Gymnastics to take up Basketball.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>At the
age of 16 Molly was recruited to play for Riders Basketball Club in Charnwood
before most recently gaining her scholarship to the United States. Molly ran a
series of fantastic sessions focussed around dribbling and passing before
getting into some small games.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQxH0QrQnEptInkE2JioaLJAIj1n0KnUoeLLfib-fXVCenpPJKtBeEcQhvBCAOmX83dk_lSsPCl7givTSFu18MKNy8yAwPMOLlGhuHdhyy5IK7HpD32VXjTLDJ5K7q-PQzfD2cq4KuPE/s2048/IMG_2313.jpg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgqQxH0QrQnEptInkE2JioaLJAIj1n0KnUoeLLfib-fXVCenpPJKtBeEcQhvBCAOmX83dk_lSsPCl7givTSFu18MKNy8yAwPMOLlGhuHdhyy5IK7HpD32VXjTLDJ5K7q-PQzfD2cq4KuPE/s320/IMG_2313.jpg" width="320" /></a></span></p>

delivered a series of Clubbercise classes to our pupils. The girls loved
performing a variety of routines with disco lights and glow sticks at the
ready.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Day Three- Netball and Self Defence:</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">On Wednesday we were again fortunate enough to have two amazing
athletes come into school to give our students a great sporting experience.
Chloe Carchrie who is a Severn Stars Superleague Netball player came to school
to give the girls some amazing netball workshops. All of the girls were put
through their paces in the glorious sunshine focussing on their passing,
footwork and speed on court all through fun team-based practices. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Paul Sutherland from Trojan Fighters also visited the school
on Wednesday to give the girls a self-defence workshop. Supported by Year 7
pupil Aaron Sutherland (European Champion in his age group), Paul has over 30
yeas of martial arts experience, and is also a former professional MMA fighter.
The girls learnt three different self-defence manoeuvres throughout the session
and I think it was safe to say that no one will be messing with the #greenarmy
any time soon!</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpISo1cFIEqeBN7kM00wLqilv2Z3zx93YePT_eD3HIcuDeeWPJBcWemGvH94CdZsVUb9UWryBk1SQ_r5ZffTBK08XWRmUt-sd8aN-NEaVk5cBCZdF1kDLAngBclkCPpt8PG5b_XH5bHEc/s2048/IMG_2418.jpg" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpISo1cFIEqeBN7kM00wLqilv2Z3zx93YePT_eD3HIcuDeeWPJBcWemGvH94CdZsVUb9UWryBk1SQ_r5ZffTBK08XWRmUt-sd8aN-NEaVk5cBCZdF1kDLAngBclkCPpt8PG5b_XH5bHEc/s320/IMG_2418.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Day Four- Football and Gymnastics: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">As part of our
exciting new partnership with Gloucester Sport, Gloucester City players Jade
Powell and Lucie Cummings came to run a series of football sessions for the
students. With girls’ football becoming increasingly popular here at St Peter’s
it was wonderful to see so many students taking part in the sessions across
year 7-10. With lots of prizes to be won, the girls definitely brought their competitive side to the pitch. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Sheer Velocity and Severn Valley Gymnastics Club also
visited, running a series of amazing acrobatic and tumbling practices. All of the
students has a go at working on their tumbling, building towards somersaults and flicks
as well as performing acrobatics lifts as part of a trio.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvsVWl4SoUogbeetJEaQ4FK-MPKIFSLSdCwUc2A5eAEhl-X3Ta0ou33qszt4oHVWnIflVMCoLstRvPc3VTQp5k0PLqH1XDMCj37qWC-jnEyVG2NM4Db20pvl96ywlj_wBfqk3dmi4BsVw/s1792/IMG_2468.PNG" style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1792" data-original-width="828" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvsVWl4SoUogbeetJEaQ4FK-MPKIFSLSdCwUc2A5eAEhl-X3Ta0ou33qszt4oHVWnIflVMCoLstRvPc3VTQp5k0PLqH1XDMCj37qWC-jnEyVG2NM4Db20pvl96ywlj_wBfqk3dmi4BsVw/s320/IMG_2468.PNG" /></a></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">Day Five- The Finale<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">After an amazing first ever girls’ sports and wellbeing week, there seemed to be only one way to wrap up the week: with a tug of war!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">The girls were split into teams of 8-10 before taking
to the rope. It was a glorious sunny day and the atmosphere was amazing. The

has taken up an enormous amount of time. Every single member of school staff worked hard firstly to ensure that we could reopen safely in September 2020 and, since then, to
adapt to constantly changing guidance.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 12pt;">Here are some highlights from this term.</span></p><p><b><span style="font-family: georgia; line-height: 107%;">Chaplaincy

interviewing some of our students in Year 8 and Year 13 about the amazing
charity work they had been involved in pre-lockdown and during the summer
holidays. This video interview was shared with all schools in the Clifton
Diocese for our virtual Diocesan Education Mass. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">It
is wonderful to see our young people participating in the ethos of St Peter’s
and the tradition of giving support in love and outreach to people in need. </span><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="font-size: 12pt;">The encouragement we have received from the school community and the
overwhelming generous support from past students means that we look forward
to creating a Memorial Garden for deceased members of staff and students at the

term. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">More news to come on this!</span></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-family: georgia; font-size: 12pt;">We

Kids' ‘Keep Fit Thru Lockdown’ campaign.</span><b><span><o:p></o:p></span></b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The P.E. department won the Marathon Kids' ‘Keep Fit Thru Lockdown’
challenge, being awarded £1,000 of Nike sporting equipment but, as the campaign
finished, </span><span>the P.E. department and Miss Baker, our school chaplain,
motivated students to run the full 3,131 miles in order (virtually) to reach
the birthplace of Jesus Christ. All of this was, of course, completed in line
with Covid-19 restrictions.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Mr Green, who is in charge of athletic development, said that staff ‘kept students motivated by giving them little competitions along the way and gave them
targets every few days. It was about changing motivation and tailoring the
targets for each child, which only happens when you have great relationships.
In a six-minute period, for instance, some pupils might be able to run 1500m, some
might only be able to run 300m, but as long as they were keeping their
individual level up, that’s what we wanted.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">‘We did some relays, they did over-taking challenges, we asked them to
sprint a length or width of the track, little time trials, they could earn rest
time by completing a distance in a certain time – all sorts of ideas just to
keep them motivated on the journey. They absolutely thrived in that
environment. We were surprised at the start because we do have students who
think of running as the last thing they want to do, but as soon as we did get
them going and they got excited about the challenge - and also getting to
Bethlehem - it was about us as a group keeping the fire in them burning,’ he
added.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The students who participated were predominantly Year 7 and 8 pupils (the
challenge started when Covid-19 meant Year 10 and 11 were at home), but younger students went down in their breaks, unprompted, to help get to
Bethlehem.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Martine Verweij, CEO and founder of Marathon Kids UK, was thrilled that
the challenge was used as a further catalyst to get children running despite
the difficulties presented by the various Covid-19 restrictions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">‘It’s examples like the one set by St Peter’s that make us so happy to do
what we do. We know that running and being fit are so important for kids who
not only want to compete at running various distances, but also who want to be
the best they can at other sports such as football, hockey or rugby,’ she said.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Of course, there are also huge mental and emotional benefits that sport
and the lockdown challenge provide.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing">
</p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;"><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Well done to all the students who participated, many of whom are pictured

Music staff have missed gathering to provide the music for our usual Masses and it has not been possible to bring together our usual choir
of more than sixty students from year 7 to year 13. It is also the first
time in thirteen years that we have not had the excitement of a whole school
musical. In addition, Jazz Band and all other normal extra-curricular rehearsals
ceased. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">However, restrictions have given the department a chance to try different approaches to engage students in practical music making. Students have
been meeting in year bubbles each week and we have been delighted to see the
following groups develop: Year 7 Choir, Year 7 Band, Year 8 Choir, Year 10
Girls’ Choir, Sixth Form Chamber Choir and Sixth Form Jazz Band. Most of these,
as well as Year 9 & Year 11 solos and duets, were featured in the recent beautiful <i>Virtual
Carols by Candlelight</i>. </span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: georgia;">If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet, you can

B <o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On
Friday 15<sup>th</sup> November we had the wonderful privilege of welcoming
double MOBO award winning urban music star and author Guvna B to our IGNITE
event at St. Peter’s RC High school. Guvna B has appeared at the last two Flame
conferences, the largest gathering of Catholic youth in the country, at Wembley
Arena. He has also played many times at the Big Church Day Out and Soul
Survivor. Taking a leap of faith, our chaplain, Mandy Baker, sent an invitation
on social media last March which was picked up by Guvna B’s booking team and
the rest, as they say, is history! <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Ignite
follows the pattern of Flame and uses amazing Christian speakers and performers
to inspire the faith of young people. Guvna B was a truly inspirational artist
who shared his faith story as part of the performance of his songs. His
performance was a wonderful tapestry of high tempo and reflective songs. Guvna
B took a real interest in the school and in the Ignite event, saying, ‘You have
a really good thing going on here!’ He was supported by some of our own
students - Avygayle Smith and Point Naught who shared their musical talent
providing inspiration for our younger students to allow their gifts to be used
in the community. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">It
was wonderful to see young people from Swindon, Trowbridge and local Christian
youth groups joining our young people in praising God through Guvna B’s music.
Guvna B is an inspirational role model for all young people and his book
‘Un-Popular Culture’ has a positive message encouraging young people to be a
light and shine wherever they go. Catholic education seeks to educate the whole
person, to give young people hope and bring people into community with people
of all faiths and none. We hope that Ignite will continue to do this with
prayer and much needed financial support. Also, don’t forget to check our Guvna
B’s new single ‘Mazza’!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

your students; guiding them on their path to university; inspiring them to
aim high; offering pastoral care to support their well-being and of course
nurturing their talents by providing them with exceptional learning opportunities.
Thank you for what you do, day in day out, not just from us but from them, your
students themselves!” <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">October half term
seems like a long time ago now but lots of memories were created by 59 year 8
and 9 students who took part in the bi-annual cross-curricular trip to
Normandy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Students stayed at an old
converted château, and enjoyed the culinary delights of frogs’ legs and snails
amongst the more usual fare of croissants and fresh bread. Visits included the
Normandy Landing Beaches at Arromanches, where the students were impressed with
the 360 Cinema which gave them an insight into the D-Day Landings. Respects
were paid at the British War Graves, and although it was a wet rainy afternoon,
everyone was impressed by the splendour of the American Cemetery, where we
listened to the Last Post as the flag was respectfully lowered.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Equally poignant was the German Cemetery,
giving a different perspective to this time in history.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The visit to the Mont St Michel was quite an
adventure – crossing the causeway by shuttle bus and trying not to get blown
over by the blustery wind; everyone was impressed with the Cathedral and the
narrow, cobbled streets. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Although it is hard to pick a favourite (the Bayeux
Tapestry? Bayeux Cathedral? Shopping??) many of the students said they really
enjoyed practising their French when they undertook the Lunch Challenge – going
to the local market to buy fresh produce to create a healthy lunch back at the
château.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>All in all it was a great trip,
made even better by a wonderful email from the château staff complimenting us
on our students’ behaviour and manners. Thank you to Mrs Beamish for organising
the visit and to the staff who accompanied the students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Year 9 students
were recently treated to an afternoon of educational fun in the Drama Theatre
when we welcomed the Onnatti Theatre Company to St Peter’s to perform their
Spanish play, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Primera Cita </i>(First
Date). The 2 actors captivated the students with their funny antics and
slapstick-style comedy, ensuring the Spanish was clear and accessible for all
students – even for some invited Year 10 students who had never previously
learned Spanish! We hope that students will be motivated to consider Spanish as
one of their future GCSE options, as well as realising the importance of having
a second language.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">On Wednesday 27<sup>th</sup>
November 6<sup>th</sup> Form students studying A Levels in Modern Languages
attended a lecture at Stroud High School. The lectures, delivered in
conjunction with the Association for Language Learning and the University of
the West of England, are designed to give students an idea of what studying languages
at undergraduate level might be like. The French lecture, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Le Bénévolat</i> (Charity Work), the Spanish lecture, <em><span style="background: white; border: none 1.0pt; font-family: "cambria" , serif; padding: 0cm;">Monarquias y Dictaduras</span></em> (Monarchy and
Dictatorship) and the German lecture, <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Bayern</i>
(Bavaria) allowed students to hone their comprehension skills, whilst also
giving them some ideas for their Independent Research Project for their A Level
examination. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Congratulations
to Joanna Fajkowska who became the first St. Peter’s student to become the
chair of the G15 student body. The G15 is a council of young people (aged 14 –
19) from the 15 secondary schools in Gloucester. They meet six times a year to
focus on issues that are important to young people in the area including
charity initiatives, visions and plans for Gloucester in the future and social as
well as emotional issues.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

had to deliver a 3 minute speech and was voted in by her peers. My informer

meetings. This is a great achievement for Joanna and it’s wonderful to see St.

In the most recent meeting members of the school council from year 7 to year 13

school mission statement. Brilliant contributions were made by students of

Climate Strike<br />
</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Friday 29<sup>th</sup>
November 2019 was a day of Global Climate Strike which saw many people and
especially young students striking in order to get the attention of those in
authority so that policies are changed to help us reach net zero emissions. Our
Green Teams felt very strongly about these strikes and wanted to do something
to show their support but without missing valuable lesson time. They produced
campaign boards which were displayed on the fence outside St Peters so that
anyone passing by can see that the students of the school supported the action
and want to make a difference to the climate change movement. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The boards were made using cardboard from
delivery boxes which had come into the school and will be kept safe until the
next global strike day. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">We began our
academic year officially with our start of year Masses celebrated by Monsignor
Liam Slattery. Our theme was ‘Rock Solid,’ providing a link between our ethos
and our ROCK values and award scheme (respect, optimism, community and
kindness). Both Masses were uplifting with a lovely prayerful atmosphere and excellent
student involvement including new altar servers and youth Eucharistic
ministers. Our head students read the prayers of the faithful and Year 7 pupils
- with their year 11 mentors - led the offertory procession.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">St. Peter's has
been giving our students a chance to experience two very different cultures
this half term through our buddying scheme with foreign students. Early in
September, four of our year 11 students spent a week 'buddied' to a Japanese
student of a similar age. The visitors followed the timetables of our buddy students
for the whole week as well as spending break times trying to understand each
other and teaching each other different things about their respective cultures.
It was a great opportunity to learn about another part of the world and to see
how young people are similar, no matter where they are from.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoPlainText">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">In October we
welcomed fourteen KS3 Russian students to St. Peter's. Again, they were buddied
up with our students, this time from KS3, and again they went to all of their
lessons. Although this particular exchange was only for two days, once again it
enabled our students to learn about other countries and how other young people
are educated. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">Both of these
visits were very successful. Thank you to Mr Lax for arranging them. He was pleased
and overwhelmed by the number of volunteers who wanted to be buddies. We hope
to have more exchanges over the year and we look forward to giving more students
the chance to be pair up with a visiting student. Every buddy has also gained
credit towards their Community ROCK Award badge.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">On Saturday 5<sup>th</sup> October, students

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">David Cameron
spoke to the BBC’s Sophie Raworth about his memoir ‘For the Record’ on the
first day of The Times and The Sunday Times Cheltenham Literature Festival. In
one of just two interviews ahead of his appearance, students from the
university’s Journalism BA course, and local schools and colleges were given
the opportunity to hold the former Prime Minister to account with questions on
the EU referendum, Brexit and climate change. </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Students from St.
Peter’s were invited to enter a competition for places by letter, including the
question that they would like to pose to the former Prime Minister. Ruby
Macklin’s winning question was “What led to your interest in dementia research
and how will your support help to improve patient outcomes?” Mr Cameron was
delighted to be asked a question on this topic as he is very passionate about
this public health issue. He explained that he is very proud of helping to
drive dementia research up the international agenda, having used the UK’s
presidency of the G8 to shine a light on the devastating impact of the disease.
He hopes that we can find a cure through further fundraising and investment and
he is donating proceeds from his memoir to this cause. Ruby’s thoughtful
question certainly provided some respite from the inevitable questions on
Brexit! Ruby was thrilled to meet him and commented that he was funny and made
the students feel welcome and comfortable. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

interview, students from schools and colleges across the South West and the

session included how to ask the right questions, how to get the best out of an
interviewee and what to look out for in those all-important answers. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

audience at The Centaur to hear David Cameron’s perspective on his time in
Downing Street, his personal life and, with just weeks to go till October 31st
deadline, his decision to call a referendum on Britain’s membership of the
European Union. Each student also received a copy of “For the Record” signed by
David Cameron himself. It was a memorable afternoon. </span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; mso-bidi-font-family: Arial; mso-fareast-font-family: Arial;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Our students and staff are more than ready for a break after an extremely busy half term. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><b>Chaplaincy and Charity</b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">The Mass and
awards ceremony for the feast of Saints Peter and Paul was an uplifting
occasion and one when the whole school joins together to give thanks and to
celebrate. A special thank you must go to Monsignor Liam Slattery for saying
Mass and to a host of people who contributed to making the day so special, in
particular Miss Baker, our chaplain, and the music department.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Year 9 students
have recently had retreat days. Thank you to Miss Baker, the RE team and year 9
tutors for their contribution to these.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><o:p><br /></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">A group of pupils
in Mr Chambers’ form (9E) raised over £200 and used this money to provide books
for the Born Sleeping Appeal at Hereford County Hospital to help support
families and children affected by baby loss. This money was raised through a
raffle where pupils showed great ambition by writing to local businesses asking
for support, collecting prizes and selling tickets at school. Mrs Williamson and
Mrs Skyrme took these items to Hereford Hospital along with a cheque from funds
raised by the staff throughout the year. After the sad loss of her newborn baby last year, Mrs Williamson would like to say a big
thank you to all pupils involved for the compassion and maturity they have
shown as well as to staff for their support throughout the year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

a mile and walk to Paris!</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Cambria, serif;">A climate change sponsored walk was organised to raise awareness of the effects it is having on our
planet. Years 7-10 took part in the activity while also donating a small sum of
money to CAFOD in their efforts to save the environment. We counted
the distance everyone who took part in the activity walked and worked out that
together we walked further than Gloucester to Paris (421.5 miles) while raising
an approximately £420.</span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Students decided to do this because they saw that people were doing climate change protests and they wanted to join in
without missing school, leading them to think of this idea. They wanted to show the
other students how easy it is to walk to places without using transport that
relies on fossil fuels. Each student walked an average of 2 miles which is a
fantastic effort in highlighting such an important issue. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Mr Lax says, “the
girls came to me with this idea and have run every walking
session themselves. They have shown all the aspects of the ROCK award and are a
true credit to St. Peter’s. Well done girls!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Dominic Thomas,
Joshua Jensley with the support from Mr Jones-Parry (Head of Physics) and
Engineers Alice Roizer and Aaron Townsend worked on building, from concept, a
device to count the number of people or objects passing a place. The team
decided to focus on the counting of people through a doorway so it can be used
to measure footfall in a shop, or refined to be used to count the number of
people within a building during an evacuation. The team moved from concept, to
research and then testing at Bath University on the 28<sup>th</sup> and 29<sup>th</sup>
of January. This gave time for the students and engineers to build and revise
their device to work more smoothly. The team then moved onto writing a report
and creating a presentation for the recent graduation day. These two
tasks, with the report breaking the 50 page barrier, where no easy tasks, but
with their hard efforts it is these two things, along with their displays to
the public and question from the judges which gave them the Award. Each student
also achieved the Gold Standard Industrial Cadet award for their completion of
the project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;">This
year the Art Department are working with the support of Gloucester Rotary Club
to run a “Fab 5 Competition”. One hardworking pupil from each class in
KS3 will took part in the competition entitled “Under the Sea”, this Wednesday 17</span><sup style="text-align: justify;">th</sup><span style="font-size: 11pt; text-align: justify;"> July. This theme was been chosen to raise
awareness of the need to protect our oceans. The pupils spent the
day investigating and taking inspiration from artists who use their artwork to
promote ocean conservation. In teams pupils used a variety
of materials, from traditional pencils and paint to clay and various textural
materials. They created work that shows either the beauty of animals and vegetation within the ocean or highlights the effects of human
impact, such as the high level of plastic waste. At the end of the
competition each team’s work was judged by members of the Rotary Club and
the Art Department with a prize to the winning team. In order to judge
the competition, we looked at pupils' artwork but also
incorporated the St Peter’s ROCK Award Values of Respect, Optimism, Community
and Kindness. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Many thanks to the
Gloucester Rotary Club who commented: “Thanks to the pupils who worked so hard
and show dedication to the Arts. The event, sponsored by
rotary@kingsholm, was organised and supported by Clare Robinson, Bob Coles and
Brian Collier, from rotary, and by Jude Williams, Head of Art, and Sue
Williams, Art Technician, from St Peter’s. The arts competition at St
Peter’s High School was seen as a great success by all concerned. The eight
mixed-age teams were drawn from different classes across Years 7, 8 and 9 so
most pupils didn’t know each other and had to work in teams. In one team it was
the youngest member who emerged as the leader. Pupils came up with some
brilliant ideas and a number of teams were ambitious in their vision, creative
in its realisation and produced work of outstanding quality. Equally impressive
was the focus and concentration pupils maintained for the whole day, including
some who apparently had difficulties in doing so in other contexts. We Rotarians
were struck by the support offered by many other school staff and pupils who
popped in to see how things were going. While words can never capture
experience, we ended the day with the sense of having taken part in something
very worthwhile and look forward to repeating the experience next year.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
The winning team
was made up of Chloe Bevan (yr 7), Ronan Hirons (yr 8) and Niamh Hannis (Yr 9).
Isobel Kinsella won a special prize for being so enthusiastic and really
putting her all into the day’s activities! The winners all received an Art Pack
(sketchbook, brushes, pencils and watercolour paints) presented by Glos Rotary
Club.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We are well into the external exam season and the staff have worked extremely hard with and for our students and I am sure they have too.The half term should not be a holiday for students in year 11 and 13 who need to use their time wisely to ensure they have the best chance of fulfilling their potential. Students in year 10 and 12 also have internal examinations shortly after the break so will need to balance their time next week.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Prior to the
Easter break year 8 pupils Ciara Mahon and Bethany Barnes, and year 9 pupils Chris
Thomas and Ivy Wang represented the school at the area final of the UKMT Maths
team challenge. They spent the day working together on a range of maths
problems including a relay race and a cross number where each pair only got
half the clues! They were up against stiff competition, acquitted themselves
well and represented the school admirably.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Over 100 students
from years 9 and 10 also took part in the UKMT intermediate challenge.
This is a competition for individuals who all complete a multiple choice test
of 1 hour. The questions are designed to challenge, fascinate and
intrigue students. All our students did well, with some excellent
individual performances, resulting in1 student achieving Gold, 8 students achieving
Silver and 15 students achieving Bronze. Particular congratulations go to
Chris Thomas, who, in addition to his Gold award and Best in school
certificate, also qualified for the Cayley test, the Intermediate Mathematical
Olympiad paper for his year group. Only 500 students nationally qualify
for this, so this is a stunning achievement. Chris did exceptionally well
in this additional task, achieving a Certificate of Merit. Well done,
Chris!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Congratulations to
our year 11 mentors who all received their Community badges last week. The
mentor system pairs two year 11 students with each year 7 form at the start of
the academic year. The mentors act as a role model, guide, friend and helper to
all the new students in year 7 and it has been a very successful and useful
resource for many years at St. Peter’s. The current year 11 mentors have been
outstanding and are a real credit to themselves, their parents and the school.
They have acted with maturity and intelligence in helping the year 7 students
settle into school, they have helped resolve friendship issues and they have
regularly helped students with reading, current affairs and other tasks. Well
done year 11 mentors!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Ten students in 9E
received the Kindness badge for outstanding charity work this term. The form
ran a raffle with excellent prizes that they manage to secure. They were tireless
in selling tickets during their break times and in total raised £285 for
charity. This really is the ROCK award in action and it was great to see that
two students in the form were receiving their second Kindness badge in two
years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Congratulations
again to our year 7 boys, year 8 girls and year 8 boys football teams for
getting to the national semi and quarter finals in the football competitions.
In recognition of such superb achievement, all players in the teams will receive
their Optimism badge which is well deserved for a hard-working set of students.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Catholic schools are, by their very vocation, intercultural.”</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Years
7, 8 and 9 have spent homework time producing and then presenting an
outstanding array of creative, and thought provoking project work. We have seen
carefully crafted and detailed models, videos, paintings, posters, textile
work, powerpoint presentations and quite a number of delicious cakes and other
cultural foods, all of which were connected with the religions of Judaism,
Hinduism and Islam. It has been our pleasure to see the creativity of our
students and to see the fruits of their work. Below are some images of what has
been produced, but this is just a small sample of what our students created. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

welcomed five local businesswomen to participate in the Economics and Business
Studies’ “Women into Business” event. The guests moved between the groups of
students, explaining a bit about their lives and career so that the session worked
like speed networking. The event was aimed at year 9 but a team of sixth form
girls ran an activity and helped to organise the event. They were a credit to
the school and one of the guests mentioned Pippa Brogden in particular, commenting
on how impressive she was. We hope the event has given our year 9 students a lot
to think about in terms of future subject choices and careers in the business
sector. The department has developed some excellent links with local businesses
and we intend to use them for further events and as a focus for some of their
students’ vocational coursework assignments. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Prior to the
Easter break year nine geographers enjoyed a visit to the Royal Geographical
Society (RGS) in London. The day involved a series of sessions with geography
undergraduates and the team at the RGS based on a series of different topics within
the subject. Many of the topics frequently feature in the news currently such
as palm oil, deforestation and climate change. The students also had an
opportunity to ask two Cambridge students about their degree, undergraduate
application and life at Cambridge university as well as other undergraduates
about GCSE’s, A Levels and higher education in general. All the students were
fully involved in the activities during the day and represented the school well.

and sixth form recently<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>played in their
seventh annual charity football match, The Dench Cup in loving memory
of our student Kamil Ciemniewski. Over £550 was raised for the Superhero
foundation, supporting the courageous efforts of our own local ‘superhero’ and recent world record holder, former student, Jamie McDonald. The match was played with
an air of great community and competition. The match ended with a last minute
equaliser for the staff, courtesy of two goals from Mr Figliola, forcing
penalties. Mr Williams for the staff became the hero between the posts and
saved several penalties to give the staff the victory. The series now stands at
4-3 to the sixth form. Thanks to all who organised the event, played, spectated
and contributed to the collection.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Scheme<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Six of our students
have been taking part in the Engineering Education Scheme (EES) run by the
Engineering Development Trust. The aim of the EES is to give students a chance
to have first-hand experience in an engineering project. Engineers and students
meet once a week during term time. This year the students have been partnered
with L3TRL Technology based in Tewksbury. The students involved are Josie Poole-Jones,
Dominic Thomas, David Charzewski, Paul Kodenkandekath, Joshua Hensley and Kamil
Krzyszkowski.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">The project brief
from L3TRL was to build a device that could count people entering
and exiting a doorway and possibly identify individuals. The students spent the
Autumn term designing and planning the project. They then presented their work
in progress to management at L3TRL at Tewksbury in January.
They had a great day and the engineers were impressed. We also had a chance to find out more about the work of L2TRL.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">The students also attended a two day workshop at Bath University in January when they built their device and tested it. The two days went
very well as the students productively in a team to build their device. They
tested various functions using a model door with some successful and some
unsuccessful signals. They are now in the middle of writing up the project report to hand in for the competition aspect of the EES with an awards day to
be confirmed near the end of the year. Thank you to Mr Jones-Parry for working
with the students on this scheme.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Congratulations to the eleven Year 13 students who completed
their Extended Project Qualification this term. The qualification is highly regarded by universities and is worth half an A-level. The students worked
exceptionally hard researching a topic of their choice at university level of challenge. We
had an afternoon of presentations where the students each delivered an
inspiring presentation to a group of staff and students explaining their
research process and their research findings. Topics chosen included using
placebos in healthcare, the Partition of India, whether animals have personhood
and whether a student could successfully forge a specific painting to name just
a few (the forgery - not the original - can be seen below). Students spent over 90 hours conducting their research and have all
achieved a great deal throughout their projects. Thanks to Mrs Frampton for her work with these students. </div>

The level of enthusiasm and commitment was fantastic, and the department has
discovered some serious computer science talent for the future. Well done
girls. Watch this space for news of a forthcoming St Peter’s Cyber-club.

submitted two pieces of work and were both successful in having their pieces
chosen for the exhibition ‘Odyssey’ which ran until the 12<sup>th</sup>
February at Gloucester Cathedral. We are really proud of their

</span></b><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Over sixty students from
year 7 right through to year 13 are taking part in the annual school ski trip
to Austria in February half term. Students are of varying abilities, and
are hoping either to learn, improve or perfect their skills. The ski trip
is a great way to get to know people in other year groups, as well as an
opportunity to challenge yourself and to keep active during half term. This is a popular trip and 40 students have already signed up to go in
February 2020 so if your son/daughter would like to take part, please contact

reality! It is not my usual cup of tea but I read it in one day and thoroughly enjoyed
it. The book can be purchased at all good bookshops or online retailers and the
school library currently has copies of the book at the reduced price of £5.60.
We look forward to the next instalment!<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><o:p></o:p></b></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">All year groups
have participated in a Christmas liturgy led by our chaplain, Mandy Baker. It
was lovely to see so many students participating by reading. The theme this year was a reflection on the Christmas story and God's call to trust him as trapeze flyers must trust the catcher. God invites us to place our trust in Him: do not be afraid. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">This year we collected 86 Christmas shoeboxes which were delivered to children in Romania.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Thank you to everyone who contributed. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Chaplaincy Team Commissioning The ten students on our Chaplaincy team were commissioned at Clifton Cathedral on Friday 30th November. Each member of the Chaplaincy team is also a member of another Chaplaincy group such as the year 10 and 12 CAFOD teams, altar servers, Eucharistic ministers, year 7 and 8 teams and the Christian Union group.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "cambria" , serif;">During
this season of Advent, form 12CMD organised a ‘Festive Friday’ raising £107 for
CAFOD World Gifts by selling hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows. All
money raised went towards buying an emergency shelter that could make a
life-saving difference to a family in urgent need. They also bought water for a
family. This will provide families with a supply of safe water in their homes
for drinking and cooking. Finally, they raised enough money to buy a goat to
provide a family with milk which they can drink or sell; it will also produce
free fertiliser that can be used to help grow crops. Many thanks to all who
supported this event!<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 11pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;"></span></span></span></span><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: small;"> </span></span><br />

Assembly</span></b><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">The Mass and awards
assembly on the feast of Saints Peter and Paul went extremely well. A huge
number of people contributed to its success but particular thanks go to the
music department and, of course, to our chaplain, Mandy Baker, and to Monsignor
Liam Slattery.</span><br />
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Natasha Burch, year 12, performed her A Level composition at both the Mass and the year 6 welcome liturgy. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">Sofia Hensley and Bethan Brito, year 7, sang ‘A
Million Dreams’ from 'The Greatest Showman' in the awards ceremony. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">The year 9 band (Seb Rowe, David Copestake,
Cyril Carvajal, Keyan Littleton, Josh Riches) performed ‘Some Might Say’ by
Oasis during the awards ceremony. </span><span style="text-indent: -18pt;">The music department collaborated with the PE
Department to perform Stormzy’s ‘Blinded by your Grace’ featuring soloist Harry
Matthews, rappers Hansen Castaneda and Pearse O’Neill alongside Mrs Donovan’s gymnasts during the awards ceremony.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 12pt;">All students in Year 8 spent 6
weeks designing and creating banners for the Mass and awards assembly. </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">Each class made one banner
using a quotation from the parable of the Sheep and the Goats.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">

The Silver DofE groups made a fantastic effort on their qualifying expedition in the Brecons, despite very hot weather and insect attacks. They showed great resilience
and teamwork. We were delighted that their assessor said they were one of the most impressive
groups he had assessed.<br />
<br />
The
Gold group completed their practice expedition in style at the same time and
are well-prepared for the qualifying expedition, which they will do in
Snowdonia next summer, when they return to school as Year 12 students. As always, a huge thank you to the staff who give up their weekends for the expeditions.<br />

On Tuesday 10<sup>th</sup> July
2018, the EAL COPE class planted a tree as part of their environment module of
their qualification. They have been working on a variety of topics within the
module and this week moved on to look at trees. Mrs Lange kindly donated the
cherry tree to the class. The group had a lot of fun digging the hole and
planting the tree into the ground. They have set up a rota between themselves
and have been watering it daily. <o:p></o:p></div>

The system will continue to use the new numerical GCSE system with final gradings from 9 (high) to 1 (low). Staff will be assessing whether students have the age appropriate skills to progress to the GCSE grade range suggested by their KS2 results. The target grade range is based on performance at primary school and is used to suggest the potential GCSE grade your son or daughter may attain. We will be able to discuss this in more details at the September information evenings.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">The Junior Concert took place on Wednesday 13 June. It
featured a fantastic range of quality performances from our very talented KS3
musicians. One of the performers, Edward Cutting (Year 8), described the
concert as <span style="mso-bidi-font-style: italic;">‘…<span style="background: white;">an amazing event to perform in. It was an opportunity for any student
from Year 7, 8 or 9 to perform a solo on their musical instrument, or as part
of a larger ensemble. Before I began to play I was very nervous, but when I got
up on stage and played my first note, I felt very relaxed and enjoyed every
second of it! It was great to see all of the musical talent that we have at St
Peter's showcased in one evening of entertainment. I can't wait until next
year!</span></span></span><br />

<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Last week fifteen Year
10 mathematicians were entertained by two lectures from leading academics and
then participated in an exciting maths team challenge with students from 12
different schools.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">The lecturers
were: Dr Jennifer Roger of Oxford University, who took great pleasure in
de-bunking alarmist statistics quoted in the press, and Dr Katie Steckles of
Manchester University, who taught them how to square root cube numbers in their
heads as a party trick and delved into the hidden maths of technology. Thank you
to the maths department for organising this.</span><br />

<strong>The Brilliant Club update</strong><br />
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Our twelve Year 8 students who are part of the Brilliant Club have all achieved a 2:1 or higher on their final assignment, an excellent achievement. They have worked extremely hard on this challenging extra-curricular assignment and have impressed the PhD tutor they worked with. They will be “graduating” at the University of Bristol on 4<sup><span style="font-size: x-small;">th</span></sup> July and photos will follow. Thanks to Mrs Barker for her work with this group of students.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;"><span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">As part of the GROWS project, some of our Year 10 pupils made the most of their half term by taking part in a 4 day STEM and Cyber Experience delivered by The Gloucester Aspiration Programme (GROWS). Activities included programming a robot to carry out a challenge and a technology teardown – stripping apart common household technology to explore and discover its components and breaking into an iPad to decipher cryptic messages. All this culminated in a trip to the Cheltenham Science festival to listen to industry experts talk about careers in STEM, followed by time in the Discovery Zone getting ‘hands on’ with virtual reality, aeronautical engineering and much more! <o:p></o:p></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">Year 10 pupils (with others from the county) also took part in a 3 day Sports Science Experience delivered by The Gloucestershire Aspiration Programme (GAP). Human performance and nutrition was delivered at Hartpury College’s sports laboratories. Here students got their hands on and investigated their own lung function, muscular systems and exhausted themselves through the Wingate test. Biometric investigations at the University of Gloucestershire saw students compare the difference in forces produced by bare footed runners versus those wearing trainers and measure their own speed using Brower gates. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 8pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">All this culminated in at trip the home of English rugby, Twickenham, where students took part in a session exploring the use of technology in today’s game, identifying different player positions by their GPS track, as well as viewing the pitch from the royal box!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

June the EAL department held the Annual Strawberry Tea Party and EAL Award
ceremony to celebrate the success of the students whose second language is
English. The ASDAN course students made about 100 scones and cream teas in
school that day as part of their course and then we invited all to join in, lower
school and sixth form students alike.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Cambria",serif;">For some students
it marked the end of their time at St Peters before they move on to college
courses next year. It gave them a chance to say thank you to their teachers and
friends for all their help. Everyone enjoyed the sun soaked, warm hearted
event, marking the real successes and progress of these hard working and
enthusiastic students from all corners of the world. Thank you to the EAL
staff for organising the event and for all they do with our students.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

June, a group of year 9 students ran 126.6km in nine hours, the equivalent of
running from Gloucester to the outskirts of Swansea. There were representatives
from all eight year 9 forms and, on a hot day, they showed each lots of respect
and support, were constantly upbeat and optimistic about the challenge, felt
the enjoyment of coming together as a community and displayed their kindness by
raising over £1500 for CAFOD. Thank you to head of year 9, Mr Hudson, for
organising this challenge.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

This Friday, 29th June, is the feast of Saints Peter and Paul and we will celebrate with a whole school Mass to which parents and friends are invited. In the afternoon will be our awards presentations followed by an early finish at 2.30. All buses other than the John Dix ones are able to collect students at 2.30. Students on the John Dix buses - and students whose parents wish them to remain in school until normal time - will of course be supervised. We are looking forward to another memorable day.<br />

men and women is necessarily also a love for their culture. Catholic schools
are, by their very vocation, intercultural.” <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 105%;">Years 7, 8 and 9 have spent
homework time producing and then presenting an outstanding array of creative,
and thought provoking project work. We have seen carefully crafted and detailed
models, media videos, paintings, posters, textile work, powerpoint presentations and
quite a number of delicious cakes and other foods, all of which were connected
with the religions of Judaism, Hinduism and Islam. It has been our pleasure to
see the creative nature of our children come to life and see the fruits of
their work. Below are some images of what has been produced, but they really
are just a small sample of what our students created. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

and Business Faculty Focus week <span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">60 students from
Year 9 were invited to take part in an earthquake science seminar. During the seminar,
students learned about the impacts of the earthquake in Christchurch, New
Zealand and witnessed CCTV footage of buildings collapsing and some miraculous
stories of survival. The students were then tasked with creating their
own earthquake building, made from straws, sticky tape and blu-tac. In
small groups, students had to design, build and eventually test their buildings'
structure on the specially made shaker table. Of the 14 different
models, only 4 managed to survive 20 seconds of shaking, most crumbling or
toppling over. All students who took part were a credit to
Year 9 and the school and through great communication and teamwork managed to
create some exceptional designs.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Under the
leadership of Adam Scott in Year 12 the sixth form boys’ basketball team have
done extremely well in the county league. They have won most of their fixtures
and finished as runners up overall. The success of the team is the result
of the effort of sixth form students, with a minimum of support from teaching
staff. Practices and fitness training have been organised by the boys
themselves. They are an excellent example to others.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;"><o:p><strong>Exam classes and revision</strong></o:p></span></div>
Staff have been extremely generous with their time and have put on lots of extra revision sessions. There are also several revision sessions taking place during the holidays for which staff have volunteered their own time. All of this needs to be supported by students' private revision. Students in exam years should spend a good proportion of the Easter break revising but will need to balance this with regular breaks for relaxation and exercise. It is a good idea for them to check that they have all the necessary notes and materials and to work backwards from their exam timetable to ensure all topics will be covered. A quiet indoor space without distraction, including music, is important too.<br />
<br />
Research has found that 'spaced learning' (when students revise one subject for a period of time followed by a completely different subject and then a third etc) helps rather than hinders the recall of information. Ebbinghaus's 'Curve of Forgetting' is also interesting as it shows that we need to revise things several times before information is fully retained. He found that memory decays the most rapidly in the first hour after learning and then continues to decline until it levels off after one month. Therefore, through regular revision, forgetting will decline and more information will be retained.<br />

part in the Scholars’ Programme organised by the Brilliant Club. The launch was
at Warwick University. It is a unique chance for them to work with a PhD tutor on
some university style scientific research. Pupils are exploring the evolution
of species with the help of technology to help their PhD tutor answer the
question “what would Charles Darwin do with a computer?” Pupils have now almost
completed their work which will be graded with university style marks (first
class, 2:1, 2:2) prior to attending a graduation event at another university.
Thank you to Mrs Barker for her work with the Brilliant Club.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

to Geneva and CERN went well although the weather conditions were very
challenging with daytime temperatures falling as low as -9C. The students
conducted themselves excellently throughout. Prior to the visit to CERN, Mr
Jones Parry gave a well-received lecture to students on the work at the site
and the physics behind the concepts. Staff were pleased by the challenging questions
from the students. The visit to CERN was extremely interesting and students from
all year groups again asked lots of valid questions. The group passed into
France via a CERN coach to visit the cryogenic facility, the AMS experiment and
the control centre. This followed a one-hour lecture and film on the history,
current work and future plans for the site. Students and staff also visited two
permanent exhibitions - Microcosm (about the setting up of the LHC) and the
Globe (about the universe). Afterwards the group went into the old town which
was followed by a quiz from Mr Parry Jones on CERN, Switzerland as well as on some
general knowledge. The trip also included a visit to the botanical gardens which
was shorter than previously because of the cold weather and instead more time was
spent inside at the science museum. A visit to the Red Cross Museum ended the science
trip to Geneva and CERN. Thank you to Dr Taylor, Mr Jones Parry, Miss Holliday
and Mr De Young for taking the students on this excellent educational visit.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">48 students accompanied by six staff took part in the annual
school ski trip to Austria during the February half term. After a long (25
hour) journey by coach. The party again went to St Michael im Lungau, stayed
again in the delightful family-owned hotel Zum Weissen Stein. Students skied
with their instructors according to their ability, and the superb snow
conditions meant that most rose to the challenge of making two levels of
progress during the week. Several students even enjoyed skiing with their teachers
at the end of the day. Evening entertainment involved a trip to the Therme
Amade indoor water park but extreme weather conditions meant that the planned
bowling trip at Oberlungau had to be abandoned. The best evening was the awards
evening when staff and students were joined by the ski instructors who awarded
medals and trophies to students who had completed the slalom race earlier that
day. Our students displayed their ROCK values all week, and proof of this
came from very favourable comments from the two coach drivers who were
delighted with how tidy the coach was after the long journey, and also the ski
school head instructor, who said that we were the most polite and respectful
school they had worked with all winter! Thanks to Mrs Beamish for organising
the trip and to <span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 107%;">Miss
Beachus, Mr Figliola, Mr Potter, Mr Rumsey and Mr Versaci </span>who also went.<o:p></o:p></span></span></span><br />

Next Tuesday 20th March at 18:00 we will be joined by
ex-Olympic gold medallist and author Ben Hunt-Davis. Part of the Redgrave,
Cracknell and Pincent era, Ben won gold in the men’s eight in Sydney 2000. Team
GB had not 'medalled' since 1912 in this event. Ben and his peers broke this 88
year old record when they not only got on the podium, but won gold. <br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
Ben has since shared his story in a bestselling book he
co-wrote, Will It Make The Boat Go Faster?
Among other things, Ben has become a world class business consultant and
keynote speaker. <o:p></o:p></div>

Students and parents are invited to this special
evening. Tickets are £5 per head and can be purchased in reception. Thank you to Mr Pinnell for organising this event. Profits will be split between Prostate Cancer and the rugby tour to Canada.<br />

the students who took part in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Twas the

<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">Congratulations to
Harry Matthews who was selected for the prestigious National Youth Choir. Harry
and lots of other students took part in Carols by Candlelight at the Church of
the Immaculate Conception, Stroud, last Friday which was as beautiful an
occasion as always. It was lovely to hear former students sing with our current
students. A huge thank you to the music department led by Catherine Perfect, to
the students and staff and to parents and friends for being such a supportive
congregation. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>£200 was raised for the
church and £200 was donated to the British Heart Foundation. On Sunday the
girls’ choir also supported former student Mary-Jess Leaverland at a concert at
St George’s Church, Tuffley.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<strong>Science news</strong><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "cambria" , serif;">The science
department has set up ‘Lab Rats’ club for students in year 9 and 10 who are
particularly enthusiastic about science or very able. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The first session started with a brief talk on
the history of anatomy and dissection followed by dissection when students
learned about respiratory and digestive systems. They developed skills from how
to set up an animal for dissection to using scalpels and the careful disinfecting
of work areas. Focus and concentration were needed due to the nature of the
equipment being used and the complexity of the task. The practical work was
guided by biology teacher Dr Piercy and supported by Mrs McNeill, Miss Brookes,
Mr Brookin and Dr Taylor. Two further sessions are planned: a planetarium will
be set up in school and students will dabble in the world of pharmaceuticals by
making aspirin.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
