PRINCIPAL’SMessageDear Parents & Guardians,

All members of the college community have been working hard to consider how best to restructure the internal timetable of the college day to maximise the opportunities and curriculum developments for all students. The change to a consistent start and finish to the day – 8-40am to 3-25pm – means that there is more time available in the middle of the day to offer a variety of extra-curricular activities that are currently restricted to after school events. That does not mean that these will no longer continue but that there will be more that students can do at lunchtime. I have been very impressed this year by the extremely responsible way that the Year 11 students have grown into their role as senior students and they have taken a significant lead in a number of areas. I would hope that this could be replicated throughout the school and students could run their own societies and clubs. I look forward to hearing from them with their suggestions. If any parents/guardians would also like to offer an hour a week to run a club of some kind I would love to hear from you.

However I continue to be amazed by the number of activities our students do get involved with and this term is no exception as you will see from the accounts contained in this bulletin.

Harington School is now accepting applications for September 2015 and places are filling up quickly. If you know Year 11 students from out of county who are considering applying can I suggest they do this as soon as possible to be sure of a place. The site will definitely be in Oakham, close to the Catmose College site, and we are currently working on transport routes to maximise all options. This site was selected by the DfE as it has the added bonus of a train station. There is a very large housing development programme planned for Oakham and already a services infrastructure in place in the new build. New courses have been added to the curriculum offer and the information is available on the college website.

Finally, may I offer my thanks to all those who sent kind words and thoughts to the college and also to the family of Jack Thompson who sadly passed away 2 weeks ago. It has been a sad time for us all and members of the college community have supported each other in the sensitive and caring manner that I would expect of them.

Yours sincerely,

Jan Turner

WISEPAYWe are aiming to get as many parents using this method of payment as possible - it reduces the risk of pupils carrying cash and the risk to our staff of having large amounts of cash in College. If you have not received or cannot remember your details to sign in to Wisepay please e-mail finance@ucc.rutland.sch.uk to request this and it will be e-mailed direct to you from Wisepay. Fewer of our activities will accept cash or cheque payments as we progress and payment by Wisepay will mean, if a trip is on a ‘first come’ basis then your payment is time stamped. You can also refer back to Wisepay to see what recent payments you have made.

FREE SCHOOL MEALSPlease apply for free school meals if you may be eligible. This can be done on our website and appears under the Parent Links section. This increases our funding levels and a pupil taking free lunches cannot be identified with the cashless system as pupils no longer need to bring cash into College for lunches. Everyone ‘pays’ on a fingerprint whether they have cash in their account or a free school meal credit.

POTENTIAL DISCOUNTSFOR THE COLLEGEIf any parents know their employers give discounts to schools linked to their

children being pupils at the College, could they please let us know the details by e-mailing finance@ucc.rutland.sch.uk. We know that one such employer is Oxford University Press who give generous discounts on book purchases, etc so if you are employed by them we would appreciate you letting us know. As employees, you may know of other opportunities we may be able to take advantage of as a result of your relationship with us. Please let us know if this is the case. FINANCIAL SUPPORTThe College has limited funds to support pupils in certain circumstances. If you are finding it difficult to pay for trips, etc please fill in an application for financial support which appears on our website under News and Events >Letters & Downloads. It is entitled ‘Financial Support Request Form’. Each application is given due consideration with regard to the particular circumstances experienced at the time.

CASUAL EXAMINATIONINVIGILATORS

The college is seeking to appoint Casual Examination Invigilators. The role will involve working in a team of invigilators with the Exams Office Staff to supervise the exams and support the effective operation of the examinations process during this period. The hours will be based upon the timetable of the exam sessions we operate throughout the year and full training will be provided.

If you are interested in applying for the post, please complete the Support Staff Application Form on the college website and send to Janice Amor, Exams Officer.

UCC1A, UCC1B AND UCC2

All parents/guardians who live on the route served by the UCC1a, UCC1b and UCC2 bus services will receive an amended timetable and a letter at the end of May. This letter requires an immediate response as places will be issued on a first come, first served basis. In order for your application to be processed any outstanding balances owed to the College need to be cleared by Tuesday 30th June. If you have not received a letter by Friday 12th June please email finance@ucc.rutland.sch.uk and a further copy will be sent to you.

SCHOOL UNIFORMWe are pleased to announce that our uniform will be available from 2 local stockists from April 2015.

Following their success at the East Midland Regional Big Bang Lucy Boyd, Ella Bennett and

Ellie Dunk were very excited about presenting their project at the National Big Bang.

The Big Bang Fair is the UK’s biggest single celebration of science & engineering for young people. Students get the opportunity to meet some of the country’s leading scientists and engineers. There are theatre shows and exhibits showing the students the latest in digital design, food technology, travel and transport, space exploration, physics, microbiology and much more. The Fair is designed to help them understand where their chosen subjects can take them. Below is a summary of their time at the Big Bang Science Fair.

ELLIE DUNK, LUCY BOYD & ELLA BENNETT - We got through to the finals of the Big Bang Fair which took place at the NEC in Birmingham from Tuesday the 10th March until Thursday the 12th March. Our project was called ‘Which cut flower food keeps flowers looking fresher for longer’. There were many different projects in three different categories junior, intermediate and senior. We had to display our work and the first day was about the judging. We were very nervous the first time we had to present our project to the judges but

the second and third time was much better.

Day two was all about exploring the Big Bang Fair exhibits. We did a range of activities from making lip gloss at the L’Oriel stand to printing 3D key chains at the BBC pod. We were also invited to meet some of the celebrity judges; Dallas who presented Bang goes the Theory and Jason Bradbury from The Gadget Show. Ellie asked a question and Dallas answered. He also had his photo taken with us.

Later that day we went to the national awards ceremony and it was not what we expected, there were three screens above a massive stage and a very entertaining ceremony that we thoroughly enjoyed.

SPANISH EXCHANGE26 Year 10 GCSE Spanish students once again continued our tradition of developing friendships and cultural understanding, by taking part in the recent Exchange. Our partner students and staff in I.E.S. Alba Longa in Armilla, on the outskirts of Granada, gave us their usual warm welcome and made us feel very much at home. We can all be very proud of our students, taking such a big step of independence; I can honestly say everyone of our UCC representatives threw themselves whole-heartedly into the experience. Well done, and thank you to them all! Here is what some of them said...

LUCY CRANE 10KR - The whole experience of living with a Spanish family and meeting lots of people was amazing. I especially liked the trip to Sierra Nevada, as it was something I had never done before.

LEAH JOYCE 10KR - The Spanish Exchange was a great experience to meet new people and learn about a new culture. My favourite memory was when we all went out as a family at the weekend, for a night out in Granada. The city life was spectacular.

BENJI BRINDLE 10JL - The Spanish Exchange was truly the best exchange. Visiting all the different places around Granada gave a great insight into the Spanish culture. Making new friends gave us the opportunity to be more confident when speaking Spanish. Above all, the Spanish Exchange will not be forgotten.

TOBY REES 10LR - The Spanish Exchange was an amazing experience, meeting new people in a new environment was great fun. The trips were fantastic, especially going to Sierra Nevada, the mountains in the province of Granada. I also felt it helped me improve my Spanish.

HARRY BINLEY-HURST - I really enjoyed meeting new people from Spain and eating traditional Spanish foods. I thought it was a great experience and would jump at the chance to go back. I

also feel as though I learnt the language better. My favourite day was when we went to Sierra Nevada.

BY LARA MORTIMER 10CH - The Spanish Exchange is an incredible experience that I would recommend to anyone doing Spanish GCSE. The trips we went on were brilliant, such as visiting the Alhambra and the Sierra Nevada. The evenings were also exciting, going out and meeting so many new people. You pick up the language very easily so you make friends with your penfriend on day one.

ELLE WARD-BRADSHAW 10JUM - The Spanish Exchange was an amazing trip. I enjoyed all of the activities we got to do, including what I did with my Spanish family. I think my favourite day was when we went to Sierra Nevada because it was very different and the mountains were beautiful. We also got to know all the Spanish pen pals really well as it was our second day.

ALICE MCCORMACK 10CH - During the Spanish Exchange I enjoyed pretty much everything that we got to do. It was the most amazing experience and I would recommend it to everyone. My favourite trip was to the Sierra Nevada. It was incredible. That night, one of the Spanish students hosted a party. It was such a good way of getting to know everyone, as it was only our second full day in Spain.

NATALIE KEELAN 10JUM - During the Spanish Exchange. I really enjoyed meeting different people and staying with a Spanish family.

My favourite part of the Exchange was, without a doubt, going to the Sierra Nevada. I loved going sledging and being able to play in the snow, as the amount of snow we get in England is pathetic!

OLLY BERRIDGE 10CH AND TOM COCKING 10JUM - The best thing about the Spanish Exchange was the 9-3 victory over the Spanish at football. We came away with the 3 points in the bag – ready for the return leg in England!

ABI HADDEN 10JL - The Spanish Exchange was one of the best experiences ever. The people I met were amazing and the trips were really fun. The best thing was experiencing a completely new and different culture. I can’t wait for the Spanish to come to England!

MILLIE CARTER 10KR - My favourite time in Spain was in Sierra Nevada because the experiences we had there we couldn’t have here in England. Not only were the activities fun, but the views and scenery were also lovely.

LACEY HOLBROOK 10KR - The Spanish Exchange was a really good experience. I enjoyed learning about

how different everyday life is in Spain compared with life in England. The trips were really fun, especially the trip to Sierra Nevada, where we went sledging and raquet walking. Overall, it’s an amazing and enjoyable trip.

BEN HUBBARD 10KR - The Spanish Exchange, in one word, was amazing. I was nervous about meeting my hosts for the week, but they were so nice and always willing to help and willing to offer to do things for me. As well as this, the excursions were fantastic. However, the best thing was that it completely changed my opinion of Spain, having spent a week completely immersed in the culture.

BETH RAINE 10JUM - My favourite thing about the Exchange was the trips. It was really fun to see Spain with my friends and our Spanish partners.

CHARLEY RAWLINS 10WW - I loved the whole experience of the Spanish Exchange. I liked meeting new people, going to new places, and having fun. The Spanish were so welcoming and I had a great time.

CHLOE TANCOCK 10JL - The Spanish Exchange was such an amazing experience. The people were welcoming and gave us all an incredible trip. I can’t wait to do the same for them!

WHIPSNADEZOO

SOPHIE BEATY 7WA - “I have many highlights which makes it very hard to pick just one but one that sticks in my mind was the giraffes; with their towering bodies you can’t help but marvel at their beauty. Individually marked and with long black tongues these animals stood out from the crowd.

The zoo had sorted the animals according to the continent they were from. Africa was my favourite.

While we were at the zoo we had an insightful talk about fighting for endangered animals. We had to come up with a campaign to save an animal with a budget of £50 000. My group were focused on saving the ring tailed lemurs, we got to handle a lemur’s skull.

We visited the discovery centre which housed reptiles and other animals. The tarantulas made my skin crawl but I was dazzled by all the creatures from tiny crickets to the big crocodiles.

After meeting the photogenic meerkats we met the lions, lazing like big kittens! After the lions we visited the flamingos and with only a few battery percentage left we snapped some pictures of these

pink, elegant birds.”

TOM GRANT 7TF - “We saw a variety of animals which had many similarities and differences. We visited the black-footed penguins, they are endangered because of climate change. They can swim at 20mph.

The elephants were out of their enclosure, they were following each other in line, holding each others tails. They were very well trained and were being guided by the zookeepers. We didn’t expect to see them and they surprised us as we were walking.

In the reptile walkway we saw many different species of animals including a very large snake. There were frogs, crocodiles and turtles as well as a number of insects.

There were so many animals to look at, I think my favourite were the tigers.The tigers were very pretty, we watched them being fed by the zoo keepers. They were very interesting to watch and came right to the edge of their enclosure. We all loved the tigers and want to see them again.”

MOLLY HALLUM 7TF - “On the 4th of March 2015 Year 7 students at UCC went to Whipsnade zoo. “All the students were very excited” said Mrs Williams a science teacher at the school. She went on to say “some of the students have never been to this zoo and are looking forward to seeing the animals”. Year 7 did not just go to the zoo to look at animals they had to find out how some

of the animals were being affected by climate change. We interviewed a few students and teachers asking them , which were their favourite animals. Mrs Foster liked the otters, Molly liked the elephants and rhinoceros and Gracie the tigers. The students in Year 7 had a great time at the zoo.”

TILLY CROWLE 7BM - “Something new I learnt during my visit to the zoo was climate change effects green and black poisonous frogs because the disease, that spreads onto their skin and kills them, can spread faster.

The animals were split into three continents: Africa, Asia and Europe. We saw tigers, penguins, bison, chimpanzees, red pandas, brown bears and wolves. My favourite animal was the penguin. I was very fortunate to see them being fed. All of the penguins lined up ready to jump into the water to catch the fish, unfortunately there were also seagulls trying to catch them as well.”

IZZY 7BM - “During our trip to the zoo we learnt many things. Climate change effects ring tailed lemurs because they need water to make milk to feed their young and their habitat is getting drier. We discussed many ways that we could help in our daily lives like using the car less and walking more.

My favourite animals that I saw were the giraffes. It is only when you see them that you realize how big they are, they were so beautiful.

YEAR 9 EXPERIENCE THE NEW FIRST WORLD WAR EXHIBITION AT THE IMPERIAL WAR MUSEUM

HISTORY TRIPTO THE IMPERIALWAR MUSEUM

BY FELICIA HYNARD

Friday 13th February was an extremely positive day for sixty of our Year 9 History students. We spent the day touring the impressive refurbished Imperial War Museum in London. The museum displays engaging artefacts, as well as an array of stimulating exhibits from every war in which Britain has been involved. A personal favourite of mine was the simulation of the trenches in World War One. The scene was truly thought-provoking with artificial mud and rock towering either side, moving shadows of soldiers projected down and voices of the men. The trip

has been of significant value in bringing the syllabus to life and was thoroughly inspiring. I would recommend a visit to everyone visiting London.

WORLD OSPREY WEEK

World Osprey Week (WOW) is celebrated from 23rd to 29th March 2015. To celebrate this occasion Ken Davies (Education Officer) and Anya Wicikowski (ex-UCC student) came to talk to two Geography classes on Wednesday 18th March. Their talk included many pictures and videos describing these spectacular birds and their return to Rutland Water each spring and summer. The live migration map and description of the perils of flights each year from the east African coast to Rutland provided a fascinating insight into the lives of migratory birds.

Each session ended with the catchy Osprey Song and it was so popular that it was played through twice; by which time the Year 9 group joined in (fairly!) tunefully.

GEOLOGIST ENTERTAINS

OUR STUDENTSGeologist Natalie Pearson paid UCC a visit on the 4th February, delivering a talk to KS4 students. In a well-received address she highlighted all the rewarding careers that can stem from a degree in Geology. Students were able to ask her questions about the topic. It was really pleasing to see so many students express an interest in this field which ties in Science to Geography and I hope it will have inspired them to look at doing A levels in the relevant subjects.

GIRLS FOOTBALLAND WHEELCHAIRBASKETBALLThis term saw the girl’s football teams compete in the varsity fixtures. The standard of girls football was one of the highest seen in this competition for many years. This year we saw the year 7 girls claim the title of Rutland champions and will go on to represent the area in the county stage of the tournament. The year 8 and 9 and KS4 teams finished mid table in the competition.

On Friday 13th March, Miss Hodgson took six UCC students to a Wheelchair Basketball training session and competition. The team went on to win the event and will now represent the college at the Leicestershire school games finals at Loughborough University next term. Well done team.

INDOOR CRICKET SEASON

This season our standout team was the U15 Boys who won their Rutland Competition after comfortably beating Catmose and CBEC. This meant qualification to the School Games Leicestershire and Rutland Finals. These finals took place at Crown Hills Cricket Academy with nine schools competing. The UCC team was drawn in a tough group but started strongly defeating Ivanhoe in the first match. They followed this up with narrow wins over Market Bosworth and Crown Hills.

In the final game they set a competitive score but Beauchamp chased it down with an over to spare. This meant the group was a three way tie and with only group winners qualifying for the final a bowl off proved the only way to split the teams. In tense circumstances the UCC bowlers held their nerve and qualified for the final against Babington. Unfortunately the final had

to be shortened game due to time restrictions and Babington narrowly ran out winners scoring the winning runs with just 1 ball to spare. Congratulations to the UCC team who as well as being runners up also collected the Spirit of the Games trophy for the sporting way they conducted themselves throughout the competition.

YEAR 8 RUGBY TEAM

Congratulations to the Year 8 Rugby Team who made it to the final of the U13 County Plate competition. The match was played at Loughborough Rugby Club against Mount Grace who ran out 22 v 12 winners. Despite the loss the Year 8 team showed themselves to be a talented squad who we have high hopes for in future years.
