Friday 30 September 2016

Dear Parents and Carers, This week we have been marking Black History Month as part of our celebration of diversity. Mrs Garrod has been sharing the fascinating story of Frank Bailey in assemblies this week, who was one of the first black firefighters in Britain and became a much admired trade union representative both in the fire service and, later, as a social worker. He was one of the first black mental welfare officers and psychiatric social workers, and ended his working life as a guardian ad litem, representing children in adoption, custody and divorce proceedings. She emphasised the way in which our multicultural community enhances our school and how much we value the different backgrounds that our students and staff come from. This was also emphasised this week from our celebration of the different languages spoken in our community as European Day of Languages was extended to include taster sessions in Turkish, Mandarin and Arabic as well as Italian, Norwegian and Greek. We were also very proud this week to receive a very positive note of visit from the County who came to look at our inclusive provision, with a particular focus on our work on LGBTQ+ issues. Sarah Lyons met with many students including several members of our LGBTQ+ group to discuss their experiences at Rosebery. She notes that students feel that there is an inclusive, safe and accepting culture where difference is celebrated and where students are allowed to be themselves without fear. The students particularly highlighted the support that they had received when they were finding things difficult and how, as a result, they trusted the work of the staff. We have been recommended as a case study school for others to learn from which is a fantastic testament to our students and staff who work very hard to generate understanding of these complex issues within our community. Finally, we have begun our Year 11 interviews this week, during which students are revising their target grades and expressing their choices for the Sixth Form. It has been a pleasure to meet with such an articulate, focused and dedicated group of students and I am very much looking forward to continuing these over the next few weeks. Mr Waight was also very pleased to report how well his Year 11 Drama students did in their exams, which are worth 30% of the final grade this week. Congratulations to them all! Have a lovely weekend.

European Day of Languages and BALFA Celebrations

On Monday the 26th of September Rosebery celebrated European Day of Languages with a lunchtime languages quest.

Students had the opportunity to participate in taster language sessions led by Rosebery staff and students. The

languages on offer were Bemba (Mr Harvey), Norwegian (Miss Nejad), Mandarin Chinese (Mrs Mills), British Sign

Language (Miss Starr), and Turkish (Rana Ralton) in 9CY. It was a great opportunity to showcase the diversity of

languages spoken by the Rosebery community and to highlight the importance of speaking a foreign language.

This week also saw Rosebery students being presented the British Airways Language Flag Award (BALFA) in French.

They studied for the award over a six-month period during a Friday lunchtime club. To be awarded the BALFA, students

were required to sit a challenging oral exam which included general conversation, role-play, making public

announcements and on-the-spot translation sections. We would like to congratulate the following students for being

successful in completing the award: Ophelia Cornell, Caroline Young, Asia Chudzik, Hannah Khadun, Paige Ferguson,

Jessica Pascal, Catherine Meech, Elise Elger, Charlotte Lacourarie, Celestine Malins and Inès Farrow.
