Friday 23rd September

Dear Parents / Carers and Friends of Bolingbroke,

On Friday 23rd September, the school community welcomed parents, governors & special guests to a packed

Speech Day at St. Michael’s Church. In all, 111 pupils had their achievements recognised at an event which is

one of the highlights of the Bolingbroke Academy calendar. In the morning, the Senior School received their

prizes and the guest speaker was Michael Crick who gave an inspiring speech about his life as a journalist and the

value of getting an education in today’s ever changing world.

After lunch, at the Junior Prize Giving, the guest speaker was actor David Gyasi who kindly shared his personal

journey facing seemingly insurmountable obstacles and challenges on his path to success.

On the next page is a transcript of the Principal’s review 2015-16.

The audience was treated to a stirring

performance of ‘Seasons of Love’ from

Rent by the Senior Choir and ’America’

from West Side Story by Dill Shepherd

and Betty Smith on trumpet, sounding

superb in our beautiful St. Michael’s

church. This was followed by the pupils

being presented with the prizes for their

achievements.

What was your highlight of the academ-

ic year 2015-16?

For me there were so many. It is the year we

went from 360 to 480 pupils. I returned from

maternity leave to welcome the Class of 2022 on

their first day – every year since 2012 the start

of a new academic year has been a privilege and

a highlight for me. After the first day Mr Speight

commenced the year at the helm and I would

like to take this opportunity to formally thank

him for looking after you all and ensuring that

our 4th academic year got off to a flying start.

When I think about all the achievements of

480 pupils it amazes me. Our pupils grow and

develop beyond our expectations and our staff

continue to do whatever it takes to ensure the

building blocks of success are taught to enable

every child to look back on the past year with a

sense of pride.

Every year we produce a new film for prospec-tive pupils and parents. This year is no excep-

tion for the Class of 2024 to come. I would like

to say a special thank you to Shannon Clark,

Charlie Coulson, Iyari Orlebar-Earle & Roberta

Stilgoe who have made this film possible. This

year we created the film with the theme “A day

in the life of…”

Academically our pupils in English, Maths &

Science achieved significantly above average

results in national GL assessments. These as-

sessments have enabled us to bench-mark their

success and put our pupils on track for spectacu-

lar results in the future. Their achievements are echoed in our English enriched curriculum Jack

Petchy Shout Out competition for which I was

honoured to be a member of the judging panel.

In Maths our first UK Intermediate Maths

Challenge Gold went to Alexa Scutt-Thomson

along with10 Silver and 25 Bronze awards.

Sadly we said farewell to Ms Donaldson, who

has moved to Bristol, who brought passion and

resilience to ensure lasting foundations are built

for the new era of Maths GCSE. Pupils made us

all proud when they won the Ark Maths Chal-

lenge Shield for the second time in 3 years.

In Science pupils success was reflected in our

high energy Science Week lead by Ms Pinner.

Highlights included- I should add for pupils, to

dissect a sheep’s head and make indoor fire-

works! Speakers came from Cambridge and

Southampton Universities to inspire our children

to consider going into careers in Science.

Last summer term 12 pupils sat their first

GCSE’s – pupils in Year 9 & 10. Officially their

results put us on the academic pathways of

success achieving no less than 100% A*-A – no

excuses. In total 13 Community Language

GCSE examinations were sat in French, German,

Italian and Spanish. This is no easy task to

manage with the additional workload whilst

studying for the language curriculum and for

many being involved in Shakespeare Schools

Festival, Sporting leagues and Musical perfor-

mances. Congratulations to all those pupils.

Last year discussions began with a German

Partner School, Philipp Melanchthon Gymnasium

in Meine. After a short visit in June Ms Sher-

man arranged for two pupils to live and work in

Germany for two weeks. To steal a few words

from Eugenie ““The trip to PMG and Germa-

ny was very interesting and I would recommend

other Bolingbroke pupils to get involved they will

have memories and make friends to last a life

time. I lived in a village and like many others

one had to take the bus to school if parents

could not drive one there. At the bus stop, the

students line up their bags in the order they have

arrived and that is the order in which you enter

the bus. The school day starts at 8 and ends at 2

or 3 so that the afternoon is for relaxing or doing

sport. During my work experience, I followed

teachers around, but my favourite part was inter-

acting with the fünften Klasse (Year 6), yes,

secondary school starts at Year 6 - as they were

very sweet and not shy to ask me questions...in

English!” Eugenie & Moniece we are so proud

of the Courage you demonstrated to live with a

family you didn’t know & work in a new environ-

ment so unfamiliar to you. It’s an experience

you will both never forget.

Moving from languages to Humanities the

Humanities team clocked up 8 curriculum trips

across years 9 & 10 locally and abroad including

GCSE Geography fieldwork at Kew, a visit to the

Battlefields and St. Paul’s Cathedral.

I hope you feel that the film I have shown

earlier just gives you a flavour of the talents and

achievements of all our children. Our performing

arts achievements across all academic years are

astonishing. Early in the autumn term our

Shakespeare School Festival cast of 19 took to

the stage. The cast dazzled the audience with

their performance of Twelfth Night at the pres-

tigious RADA theatre in London. The quality of

performance was set so high that every future

year has a hard act to follow. Thank you to Ms

Khan & Ms Nobes who enabled the cast to

achieve so much in their performance.

Next to hit our Bolingbroke stage was the cast

of Bugsy Malone – the 1920s Chicago gangsters

production. It was our first musical produced by

Mr Kalorkoti, musically directed by Ms Breckon

& choreographed by Ms Tibbetts. The Cast of

55 took our breath away as they brought each

character to life. This highly praised production

ran for 3 nights and we witnessed parents, staff

and children frequently return for a second view-

ing to absorb the atmosphere and admire the

cast’s musical talents.

We closed the academic year with our Sumer

Splash Music Concert – an evening of sheer

musical delight and entertainment. The 20th

Century Fox Fun Fair arrangements of Star

Wars, Jurassic Park, Rocky & a personal favour-

ite Mr Blue Sky. The second half opened with a

staff flash mob of “A Lion Sleeps Tonight” – the

high notes were exceptional! The event, which

was first performed at the Barbican Centre, drew

to a close with a performance by Arthur Kergall

& Moniece Mullings, our Music Scholars, with

our orchestra who raised the roof with their

performance of Phantom of the Opera – It was

sensational.

In Sport many of boys & girls were selected to

represent Wandworth Borough in Football, Hock-

ey, Basketball & Athletics. We won the Hand-

ball U15 Wandsworth league, U13 Football 6-a-

side Wandsworth Competition and pupils won

the Wandsworth Cross-country Championships.

Our sporting achievements go from strength to

strength and our 4th Sports Day was no excep-

tion. This year, won by Erskine, the atmosphere

and support for each athlete was fantastic.

Thank you to Mr Jones & his team for coordinat-

ing an impressive day. However I am still not

sure pupils standing in for the parents’ annual

tug of war with a 5:1 pupil to staff member ratio

was quite what we anticipated!

Bolingbroke Academy isn not just about aca-

demic success. It is about the whole child. It is

about ensuring that every child has the chance to

participate, innovate and enjoy new activities.

Last year over 100 clubs from forensic science to

fencing enthused and fostered pupils’ interests.

House competitions, Charity fundraising of nearly

£2,000 for local and national charities, Master-

chef & Bake Off, Sports and additional lan-

guages all contribute to daily life at Bolingbroke

academy. Friday afternoons are the ‘icing on the

cake’ for many pupils and staff. After 4 years of

Duke of Edinburgh programming record num-

bers are taking part in the Duke of Edinburgh

Bronze Award this year. 88 pupils are ready to

go on their Bronze expedition & four pupils have

been signed off to achieve our first Bronze

Awards.

A successful school such as ours is only as

good as the exceptional staff who work in it. We

are incredibly fortunate here at Bolingbroke

Academy to recruit talented, passionate and

caring staff. Their commitment to our school is

astonishing and it is something parents and

pupils praise again and again.

I believe it is important to have a school where

traditions matter; tradition is to value the hand-

ing down from year group to year group and in

years to come generation to generation. Today

is an important tradition to value which recognis-

es the hard work of our pupils, parents & staff.

When you look at the trophies and prizes to be

given out today they are testimony to the aca-

demic excellence and diverse range of talents our

children bring to academy life.

Bolingbroke Academy is an exciting, innovating

and successful environment in which the best

staff want to work and develop and I believe that

this is what we are and must continue to strive

to be.

Lastly to our parents & carers for your contin-

ued support and feedback. The Parent Council

has fundraised nearly £12,000 profit through

Sponsorship, Parent Quiz Night and the Spring

Fair just to mention a few events. Your involve-

ment matters however small or large – thank

you.

As I come to the end of my review of 2015-

2016 I reflect back on how each year we needed

to tweak and develop our practice. When we do

this we go from strength to strength. Everyone in this room - parents, pupils and staff have set

remarkable foundations for our young people to

thrive and excel in this academic year. It is a big

year ahead; opening a sixth form and of course

our Class of 2019’s first set of academic results.

Every year we believe in greater achievements

for each of you - this year will be no exception.

WOW TALKS - WOMEN IN TECH

By Ms Robinson

We were very lucky to be invited to a WOW Talks flagship event -

WOW Talks // Women in Tech on Tuesday 20th Septem-

ber. Ms Robinson, Ms Coyte and 20 year 9-11 girls enjoyed the

thought-provoking talks given by the female speakers who left the girls

feeling inspired about potential career paths and about all the excit-

ing possibilities world of technology offers.

Over 400 girls from different schools spent the day at the Royal Geographical society listening to inspiring women

talk about their careers, our pupils got the opportunity to take part in a speed mentoring event meeting women en-

trepreneurs from all over London. They also tried out different tech inventions, including virtual reality head sets.

We were really inspired by Laura Haynes, Chairman of UN Women NC UK's inspiring talk on gender diversity and

the HeForShe campaign which we explored on our phones. You should all sign up now http://www.heforshe.org/en

We also thought about our wishes and how to help other people fulfil their wishes using Wisher. http://

www.wisher.com/

The girls left with renewed energy to pursue their own dreams and I am sure it shifted the girls' pre-conceived

perceptions about what technology is and who it is for.

Some of the amazing women we met:

Priya Lakhani OBE started her career as a barrister, specialising in libel, privacy and reporting restrictions for the

press including representing a newspaper in the House of Lords at the age of 25. In 2008, Priya successfully launched

a FMCG business and launched products into nationwide supermarket chains and independent retailers. Passionate

about CSR and incorporating a ONE=ONE model, the company’s charitable arm provided millions of meals and

35,000 vaccinations to the underprivileged.

Genevieve Smith-Nunes is the founder of readysaltedcode CIC which is a not for profit organisation providing inno-

vative digital computer science STEAM focused education & curriculum opportunities.They provide workshops,

training and produce data driven dance performance to highlight, engage and encourage people into loving computer

science education.

MATHS CORNER 1

News from Maths this fortnight

A warm welcome back to Maths Corner for this new academic year. We have lots of new and exciting

talent in Team Maths. Mr Noy, our Key Stage 5 Co-ordinator, is making great plans for an exciting and

fulfilling A-level curriculum. Ms Hill will be maintaining our success with Times Table Rockstars, Mr Iles

will be bringing Maths alive with the Maths Fun club and Mr Simpson our in house IT guru will be help-

ing students access the world of programming. Mr Ali, our new Head of Maths, comes with a wealth of

experience to contribute giving our students the very best outcomes.

The new term has kicked off with Year 7’s being introduced to our Maths Mastery programme where

students experience depth before breadth, Year 8’s are learning the importance and relevance of

prime numbers and prime factor decompositions. Year 9’s are exploring the world of co-ordinate ge-

ometry, Year 10’s are appreciating the challenges of the Index Laws and Year 11’s are getting stuck

into all things Circles.

We have been delighted with the way our students have begun this term and we are looking forward

to seeing some fabulous work.

Hegarty Maths is a new and improved version of the revision website set up by Colin Hegarty (who, this year, was

a finalist in the Global Teacher Prize). His website is designed to support pupils to be independent. Every task

has a video explanation and links to other “building block” tasks to support pupils to be successful. We launched

this with year 11 last year and we’ve been really impressed with their response so far. With the improvements

made to the web site over the summer we have decided that all our students will be set an online piece of home-

work on the Hegarty Maths platform on top of their written homework. We think that this will be a particularly

useful tool for us as it is designed by teachers so all of the feedback we get about the pupils’ work helps us to help

them. Watch this space for password and access details.

All Year 10 pupils should log in to www.hegartymaths.com (using their school, name and date of birth) for weekly

revision and practice. There are useful videos and the opportunity to comment to their teacher as well if they find any task

challenging.

Parent Puzzle 1

How can you get the answer 24 by only using all the

numbers from the following list: 8,8,3,3. You can

use add, subtract, multiply, divide, and use brackets.

Bonus rules: also allowed are logarithms, factorials

and roots.

Email entries with the title “Parent Puzzle 1” to

s.ali@arkbolingbrokeacademy.org. Correct entries, as

ever, are placed into a termly prize draw to win Maths

equipment for your child – and a treat for you!

TT Rockstars

All our year 7s will be starting our

Times Table Rockstars pro-

gramme. The programme encour-

ages students to become more

efficient with their recall of the

times tables.

Don’t forget that your child can log into www.ttrockstars.com

to do lots of practise and build their rock star status. Our

subscription means that they can also download the app for

their phone or tablet.
