Hound Dear Parents/Carers and Friends of Bolingbroke,

Welcome to the second Courageous Hound of the year. Speech Day was a really special day in two very different

but equally enjoyable parts. It was a real honour to welcome Ian Hislop to the academy to speak to the older

pupils and present the awards in the morning session. Before the event I spoke to him about his school days at

the prestigious Ardingly College and how at Bolingbroke we were seeking to ensure that every pupil has access

to the same range of opportunities as pupils at the top private schools. Having spoken to a number of our staff

and pupils while touring the academy and enjoying family dining with Year 7, he was certainly impressed. The

afternoon event was also very successful with the visit of our local MP and the exceptional efforts of our younger

pupils recognised. Congratulations to Smyth for their victory in the House Cup competition. Thank you to all

parents, carers, governors and friends who attended these events.

Thank you also to the parents of our Class of 2022 pupils who attended Wednesday’s Parent Information

Evening. I am sorry we did not quite calculate the time it would take to deliver all the information we wanted to

as well as answering all the excellent questions that parents had, so the event did overrun somewhat! The slides

from the event are on the website and please do not hesitate to get in touch if there are any questions that you

still have, whether about curriculum, ethos, uniform, sports fixtures or enrichment.

Kind Regards,

Mr Speight

ANNUAL SPEECH DAY & PRIZE GIVING 2015

Congratulations to all our pupils who were nominated or won prizes at our Annual Speech Day & Prize Giving on

Friday 18th September 2015. As the school grows in size and stature this year we held two events at St Michael’s

Church to celebrate the success of our pupils (full list of winners & nominees on page 3).

At the morning senior school event we were honoured to welcome Mr Ian Hislop, writer, journalist and

broadcaster as our guest speaker. The event began as any Bolingbroke event does with a rousing recital of the

school mantra and then we were ready for the celebrations to begin. Mr Hislop gave a fantastic speech with the

unifying theme of embracing challenge. We were given anecdotes of Mr Hislop’s own education and how the pupils

at Bolingbroke Academy have the potential and opportunities to go on and achieve even more. After an interesting

question and answer session we were ready for the prize winners to be revealed. A special mention must go out to

Erskine House who won this year’s Quizzitch Cup and Smyth House who won the highly sought after House

Shield.

In the afternoon we were ready for the junior school event. This gave us an

opportunity to celebrate the achievements of the Class of 2021 during the

academic year 2014-15. Once again we were privileged to have another very

special guest. For the afternoon event we welcomed Jane Ellison, MP for

Battersea. The theme of embracing challenge was also at the centre of this occa-

sion. Our speaker provided us with a motivating speech about how Bolingbroke

and its own history is an inspiring story of challenge. Jane Ellison was also able to

share with us the stories of inspirational men and women she meets through her

role as the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Public Health. This year

the Ever Courageous Cup, donated by the Neighbourhood Schools Campaign

Group, was won by a pupil from the Class of 2021 who thoroughly deserved this

accolade.

Thank you to all the Governors, Parents and Carers who were able to attend and

support this very special event.

YEAR 10 GCSE PRODUCT DESIGN TRIP TO THE SCIENCE MUSEUM

By Ms Houghton It has been a great start to the academic year by taking our budding year 10 Product Designers to the Science Mu-

seum. Firstly, they explored the Engineer your Future exhibition, an interactive experience for teens thinking about

their futures. Pupils played Rugged Rovers and Futureville; tested their brains’ ability to think about the big picture

and watched a short film. It was really impressive that Jack Jenkin, Nick Whyte and Harry Ward designed the top

Rover of the Day!

After a picnic lunch, our group was booked into Launchpad, the most popular gallery at the museum. It is packed

with over 50 interactive exhibits for them to explore, plus a lucky opportunity to watch the Rocket Show in which

Nick Whyte and Rhiannon Fuller volunteered to take part in a lively demo.

It was a fantastic opportunity for pupils to see Design and Technology in action; particularly from an applied maths

and physics perspective. They learnt a lot while having a very enjoyable day.

BOLINGBROKE NEW STAFF

FIVE MINUTES WITH……...MR MURPHY (SCIENCE TEACH-

ER - ERSKINE HOUSE)

Tell us a bit about yourself?

My name is Mr Murphy and I am originally from Dublin in the Republic of

Ireland. I went to an all Irish speaking secondary school and graduated

from Dublin City University.

Why teach?

I always wanted to work with young people and I love Science so being a Science teacher is the perfect job

for me. My Mum is a teacher so it must be in the blood!

And Finally…..What's your favourite Film?

Forrest Gump

FIVE MINUTES WITH……...MS AUSTIN

(PHILOSOPHY & ETHICS LEAD TEACHER - ERSKINE HOUSE)

Tell us a bit about yourself?

I graduated from the University of Leeds in 2009, with a degree in

Theology and Religious Studies. I really enjoyed learning about other peo-

ple and how they make choices, and that led me to working with young

people. I worked for the Prince’s Trust, but decided that I wanted to share

my enthusiasm for Philosophy and Ethics… and here we are!

Why teach?

Because every day, every hour is different. That’s what makes it fun.

What are your hopes for Philosophy and Ethics?

I want to create a department that challenges and engages students in the big ethical and philosophical ques-

tions that affect us every day. Philosophy and Ethics promotes community cohesion by helping pupils to learn

to understand others and value diversity whilst also promoting shared values and an awareness of human

rights

And Finally…..What's your favourite Film?

The Freedom Writers- sums up why I went into teaching!

FIVE MINUTES WITH……MS GANN (FOOD TECHNOLOGY TEACHER - KLEIN HOUSE)

Tell us a bit about yourself?

My name is Ms Gann and I studied Human Nutrition at the University of

Chester. I am from Gloucestershire which is in the West of England and

have always had an interest on the effect that food has on the body.

Why teach?

Learning how to cook is a skill for life and it can be easy to cook

nutritious meals. I think it is great when pupils start the lesson with the

raw ingredients and end the lesson with a product that they can take

home and be proud of making.

What are your hopes for the Food Science department?

To create a strong department that allows for pupils to show confidence, leadership and teamwork. As well

as the skills needed to cook, the scientific knowledge behind each practical is also essential. I also hope to get

pupils to take part in the local young chef competitions.

And Finally…..What's your favourite Food?

Anything Italian! Pizza and pasta dishes are amongst many of my favourites.

THIS WEEK IN THE LIBRARY

By Ms Jones

This week we have been looking at the topic of Refugees, Migrants and Asylum Seekers. Thinking beyond the

headlines, using fiction, poetry quotes and photographs.

Free bird,

Free bird.

What good luck,

you have.

What good chance,

that it is your right

to fly freely,

with no document,

with no passport,

to pass through

all continents,

beach of Australia to Ivory Coast.

From ‘Free Bird’ - A poem by Amasu Girma

Just some of the books we have in the library around this topic:

Hidden by Miriam Halahmy

The Other Side of Truth by Beverley Naidoo

When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit by Judith Kerr

Abela by Berlie Doherty

The Weight of Water by Sarah Crossan

Where I belong by Gillian Cross

Now is the Time for Running by Michael Williams

Close to the Wind by Jon Williams

The Unforgotten Coat by Frank Cottrell-Boyce

Refugee Boy by Benjamin Zephaniah

Looking at the Stars by Jo Cotterill

We can all be refugees

Sometimes it only takes a day,

Sometimes it only takes a handshake

Or a paper that is signed.

We all came from refugees

Nobody simply just appeared,

Nobody's here without a struggle,

And why should we live in fear

Of the weather or the troubles?

We all came here from somewhere.

From ‘We Refugees’ – A poem by Benjamin

Zephaniah

Coming soon:

“Goth Girl and the Wuthering Fright”

Chris Riddell’s latest book is jam packed with brilliant drawings and funny

characters. Ada Goth sets off on another adventure with new characters,

new friends and new conundrums to be solved. A ‘Literary Dog Show’

brings all sorts of odd characters, with their equally odd dogs to Ghastly

Hall and madness ensues. Dogs, word play and drawings galore!

I would recommend this book to all pupils who like quirky, crazy and

unpredictable stories – this is definitely for you!

MATHS CORNER

NEWS FROM MATHS THIS FORTNIGHT

The Maths Team have really enjoyed getting stuck into lessons in the first few weeks of term. Years 7 and 8 are

both focussing on number topics, with year 7 getting to grips with place value and Year 8 starting to look at num-

ber properties. Year 9 have had their first introduction to linear graphs, which is a key concept for lots of future

learning at GCSE and beyond. Year 10 have risen to the challenge interpreting indices in their first few weeks of

GCSE

We really appreciate the hard work that goes on at home to support pupils’ learning in Mathematics. Practising

topics away classroom is a key routine to embed learning. ALL pupils will have one written and one online

homework task per week. Some classes will also have daily practice: Times Table Rockstars booklets for years 7

and 8, and GCSE Workbook questions for year 10.

It’s not too late to sign up for the Parent Workshop on Tuesday 29th September, 6-7pm. This will be a

hands-on workshop, looking particularly at some of the websites that we use to support learning in Maths. It will

also be a great opportunity to ask any questions that you may have. Email

[email protected] to book in.

Manga High – star performers

We’re currently 83rd in the UK September competition,

Parent Puzzle 1: solution?

Thank you for your entries for the first parent puzzle, which asked: how many four digit numbers are there that

contain the number 5? We have enjoyed your suggestions – but at the time of going to print, there were no correct

answers! As we always say to the pupils, we love mistakes and think that wrong answers can teach us as much as right

answers. So, rather than publishing a solution this week, here is a clue:

Imagine the 5 is in the thousands column. How many possible numbers are there?

Now imagine the 5 is in the hundreds column. How many possible numbers are there? How many of those numbers have you

already counted? Keep going for the tens and ones columns…
