Our 11-16 plans continue to move forwards and since the October
bulletin, Key Stage 4 curricula continue to be developed; current Year
9 pupils have been allocated into provisional option groups; building
plans are nearing the point of being submitted for planning
permission and we are close to completing a bid to the Government
for funding.
I will share further 11-16 details with parents at the Parent Forum
meeting on Tuesday 2 December, 7.00 pm to 8.00 pm. You will also
be able to hear from Mrs McKenzie, Head of Religious Studies and a
member of our Extended Senior Leadership Team, regarding how
GCSE RS is being delivered to current Year 9 pupils.
We recently provided the opportunity for members of the governing
body to undertake ‘Learning Walks’ on three separate occasions.
Governors visited lessons across several curriculum areas and made
the following comments:- “Impressed with pupils enthusiasm for
learning”, “very peaceful air with all keen to expand knowledge”,
“pupils happy to see Principal and Governors”, “pupils engaged in all
lessons”, “staff very enthusiastic in their delivery”, “classrooms were a
positive working environment, enhanced by wall displays”, “infectious
enthusiasm and passion from teachers”.
Brockington Bulletin | November 2014 Edition
Welcome to the First Edition of our new style bulletin, which we hope will
make for a more engaging and colourful review of life at Brockington College.
If you have any comments about the new bulletin, your feedback to
[email protected] would be most welcome.
In order to recognise the significance of this year’s Remembrance Day, we
held a very special service at 11.00 am on Tuesday 11 November. You can
read about this event in the bulletin, but I wanted to thank those parents that
attended and to praise all our pupils for an outstanding tribute during the
two minute silence.
Congratulations also to Mrs Clark and her team of Eco-Warriors for achieving
re-designation of our ‘Green Flag’ Award for the fourth occasion. The flag
flies proudly at the front of the College.

Introduction from the Principal News
Brockington Eco-Schools Programme- Another Success!
Brockington Remembers This year, being the centenary of the start of The Great War, 1914-
1918, we decided to create a display of poppies in our central
courtyard area. The staff and pupils worked together on the project
to make one poppy to represent each of the 5,293 lives lost in World
War 1 by Leicestershire citizens.
The display was helped on its way by almost every member of the
school community in a superb team effort, from designing and
building to making and displaying each poppy. The resulting display
is quite stunning and was the focal point of our act of Remembrance,
which took place on Tuesday 11 November 2014.
We were privileged to be joined on this day by World War II veterans,
Eric Lockley and Peter Winkless (Governor at the college), and post-
World War II veterans, Roger Palmer and Dale Richardson, (Site
Manager at the college).
Every pupil, member of staff and visitor to the college gathered in the
courtyard area at 10.30 am. The brass ensemble played a fanfare,
then Mr Southall, Principal, welcomed all guests and visitors, and
spoke about just one of the lives represented by the poppies in the
display, that of Private Frank Timson from Enderby. A full account of
the life of Private Timson can be found on the following page.
Phoebe Howe (8I) read a WW1 poem, The Solider, by Rupert Brooke
and a college governor, Fran Speake, gave an address about the
Gospel of Saint John which was printed and given to all servicemen in
WW1 as a source of comfort. More information about the Gospel of
Saint John is also provided later in this bulletin.
Just before 11.00 am, The Last Post was performed by Jessica
Lapworth (9N) and a two minute silence followed, which was
impeccably observed by all. The veterans laid their wreaths on the
poppy display, and Yvonne Doores (Staff Governor), Samantha
Parsons (9O), Laura Hall (8I) and Joe Matthews (7G) were joined by
invited parents and grandparents in scattering the remaining poppies
in the display to bring the total to 5,293. This poignant act of
Remembrance was brought to a close by Sue Williamson (School
Health Coordinator) as she sounded the Reveille.
Please remember that vehicles should only be driven
through the barrier to the main college entrance if absolutely
necessary.
Drivers should be mindful of the 5mph speed restriction and
proceed with caution, especially just before and after
school , to ensure the safety of our pupils as they walk along
the drive way.
Thank you.
Eco-Schools is an international award programme that guides schools on their
sustainable journey, providing a framework to help embed these principles into the
heart of school life. There are 46 countries around the world that run the Eco-Schools
programme, linking more than 40,000 schools – from the UK to France, from Morocco
to South Africa. Eco-Schools is administered in England by Keep Britain Tidy.
Pupils at Brockington College are the driving force behind Eco-Schools – they lead the
Eco-Committee and help carry out an audit to assess the environmental performance of
their school. Through consultation with the rest of the school and the wider community
it is our pupils that decide which environmental themes they want to address and how
they are going to do it. Brockington College has been awarded its 4th prestigious Green
Flag award in early November, which symbolises excellence in the field of
environmental activity.
Our main long–term environmental projects concentrate on recycling of paper, plastic
and cans, waste reduction, healthy eating and green travel. We have participated in a 2
year SCoRE programme on reducing our energy consumption. The project was a great
success with huge savings of over £12,000 on our energy bill for electricity and heating.
Now, we are looking into starting new projects on biodiversity and creating links with
local, as well as international, schools to share and improve our eco-schools work.
If you care about Brockington College being more eco- friendly then take part! You can
become an Eco–warrior and represent your form or you can take an even more active
part by becoming a member of our Eco–Committee.
New Year 7 pupils - Brockington Eco –Schools need you! Come along and take part in
exciting projects and activities. Come along and make a difference! Mrs I Clark.

Maths Update - Trips,
Challenges and Speakers Welcome to the first in a series of maths updates in the Brockington
Bulletin. The Intermediate and Junior Maths Challenges will continue
this academic year, where students get to apply their mathematical
skills to solving challenging questions.
In addition, in March 2015, Brockington College will be taking a team
from Year 8 and 9 to compete against other schools within the East
Midlands Region in a day of problem solving and participation in
creative challenges. We will keep you updated as to the progress and
success of Brockington College in the above challenges!
The Maths Department will be hosting STEM external speakers on
November 28th to talk about the application of Mathematics in day to
day jobs and how developing their Mathematical knowledge beyond
KS3 can help them in the discipline of Engineering. Guest speakers
from industry will talk about their career paths and how a secure and
solid understanding of maths has led to their success.
In the Easter term, a trip to Bletchley Park, the scene of the code
breakers in the Second World War will be organised for pupils to
witness the use of mathematics in breaking down codes and forms of
communication by the Germans. This trip will involve both mathematics
and humanities staff and students visiting the site of an integral part of
England’s history in combating the German’s aerial strikes during the
war.
We are also looking into students attending the famous ‘Christmas
Lectures’ in December 2015 where students will get to participate in
workshops showing real life and fun applications of mathematics to
every day life. We will keep you posted about dates and availability of
this popular event as more information becomes available.
Finally, please remember that the maths Moodle site, available through the pupil links on the Brockington website, has worksheets with answers given to help pupils enhance their learning. In addition, mock tests are available for students to practice before their end of topic tests. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to contact
your child’s teacher.

Staying safe online Brockington College appreciates that, along with the wide range of useful resources that the
internet brings, come a number of inherent dangers.
We take our responsibilities with regards child e-safety extremely seriously and all students are
actively taught how to use the web in a safe and responsible manner throughout their time at
the college.
In addition to working with students we are also trying to help parents/carers make the internet
safer for their children. Last half-term Mr Patel, ICT Co-ordinator at the college, facilitated an
E-Safety event at the college run by members of the Police Child Exploitation team and Youth
Offending Services, and attended by over 40 parents.
For more information on E-Safety please visit our e-safety blog at
http://goo.gl/a1FDg4 (or scan the QR code) where we will be regularly
posting updated guidance tips and advice which we feel may be useful.
Please do get in touch via the IT Support Team on
[email protected] if you have any concerns or
questions.
Anti-Bullying Week
A group of four students at Brockington decided to
spread a bit of cheer around Brockington this week in
the spirit of ‘Anti-Bullying Week’. They selected 60
students at random across Year 7, 8 and 9 and left an
anonymous note and gift in their morning registers for
them. The notes included positive phrases such as
‘You are beautiful, no matter what they say’. The idea
behind it was to ‘make somebody’s day’, and create a
bit of care and cheer around the building. The group
did not want to be identified as they felt that would
detract from the point of it, but instead wanted to
enjoy seeing the impact without any credit being
assigned to them. A true act of kindness which
strengthens our ethos of Koinonia!
We offer a variety of daytime and evening classes for adults in
the following curriculum areas: Living for Wellbeing, Arts,
Languages, Skills for Life, ICT and ESOL.
The term of office for one of our four parent governors, Mr Paul Johnson, is due to come to an end at the start of 2015. Mr Johnson would ideally like to serve another term of office, however we need to check if there are any other eligible parents/carers who would like to be nominated, in which case we would have to hold a ballot.
Parent governors contribute to the work of the governing body in ensuring high standards of achievement for all children and young people by:
> setting the school’s vision, ethos and strategic direction > holding the principal to account for the educational performance of the school and its pupils > overseeing the financial performance of the school and making sure its money is well spent
Parent governors must have good interpersonal skills, effective levels of literacy and numeracy and a strong commitment to im-proving outcomes for children and young people.
For further information, please contact Mrs L Nixon, Clerk to the Governors, on 0116 2863722 or at [email protected] by Friday 5 December 2014.

Trips
For the 100th commemoration of the start of World War I, Jake Summers,
James Kumagai and Mr Carr went to the First World War battlefields to
research soldier’s lives, visit the military graveyards and former battlefields
and to soak up the incredible atmosphere that exists in the area of northern
France and southern Belgium, where during the three and a half years of The
Great War, millions of men gave their lives.
They travelled with students and teachers from over 20 other schools from
Leicestershire and spent the first night at the Kingswood Activity Centre in
Kent, where they completed some preliminary research on soldiers from
Leicestershire and where those soldiers may be buried.
Jake recorded: “The trip was very engaging from the beginning. When we got
off the coach at Kingswood we literally just threw down our bags in our
rooms and began using the many facilities. These were “outdoor pursuits”
such as high ropes and obstacle courses. Later we were taken into a rock
climbing area where we could climb, play basketball or football. Later on we
researched the lives of some soldiers and found there were lots of local
connections.”
James recalled: “We made friends with the people that we shared a
dormitory with and we got to know the others on trip better and better as the
trip went on. In the morning of the second day we went on the Eurotunnel,
which was my first time and quite strange.
When we got to France, we immediately went on to the Langemark cemetery.
It was an experience like no other. Seeing thousands of almost identical
graves lined up. It was unforgettable. We visited a museum next and saw
many things such as a replica trench and many artefacts. Even though it was
very serious, the day was fun and quite an adventure.”
Jake: “In the evening we went on a very thought provoking trip was to the
famous Menin Gate in Ypres,
Belgium. A ceremony is held
there every single night and
has been since 1928. The Last
Post is played and there is a
two minute silence, a silence
all of those on our trip took
part in. During our visit to Ypres, we had a chance to look around the town
and even buy some tasty Belgian chocolates and souvenirs to take home!”
The trip involved a great deal of travelling which in itself was an education-
James recalled: “Just on the coach through Belgium, the amount of war
cemeteries was staggering; the scale only hits you when you see it in real life.
We visited cemeteries such as Tyne Cot, the largest Commonwealth cemetery
for any war in history with almost 12,000 graves”.
Jake: “The next day, after a good sleep we went to the Somme and to many
different memorials. It was a day of really interesting and different learning.
We then returned to the hotel to eat and see 3 British soldiers talk us through
their equipment and compare it to what the World War I Tommies used. We
went to bed tired and woke up bright and early for the next day’s activities.”
James: “We visited Ypres twice; the second time was on the last day when we
went to an incredible museum filled with really interesting displays and
videos. After that we went to a pottery workshop where we had the privilege
of making one of the thousands of soldier sculptures which will be included
in a memorial by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission. Each one will
represent the 800,000 soldiers who died in and around Ypres. They will be
placed in a field which will show just how many lost their lives.
I really enjoyed the trip. It was even more interesting than I thought before
going. The cemeteries I will never forget. This trip really was a once in a
lifetime opportunity.”
Jake: “We headed home in the afternoon. I felt really glad that I had seen the
battlefields. I will never forget them. They were awe inspiring. It was a very
long journey back from Belgium to Leicester in one day and when I did get
home it felt so rewarding to just lie down in my own bed! It was a great trip.”

A message from Zama Montessori, South Africa
Dear Brockington
It has been 4 months since your group visited our school, and
our children have not stopped talking about your visit.
First, I want to thank you for the 2 weeks you spent with us.
Please convey our thanks to every teacher and every child who
came. Especially thank them for the work they did under difficult
conditions, without complaining. It was not the best time for the
school too, I hope some of you will get an opportunity to visit
when our circumstances are more normal; it might help you
understand our struggle during an abnormal period. Your
children are great, I hope they remain like that and never
change. Zama children learned so much from them about
commitment and caring about others! These are just some of the
things that come up in their conversations. Thank you for the
bags of gifts, we still have to move them to the school because
they will be put to use when we begin the new year in January.
What has been put to good use are the soccer kits! Our teams
have not lost a single match since they began turning out in their
smart kits, even against teams that used to beat them
consistently.
Kash4Kenya
Recycle and raise funds for the Kash4Kenya meal aid scheme!
Don’t send your unwanted textiles to land fill, recycle them
using the textile bank at Brockington.
The Salvation Army will give us 50% of the proceeds made
from donated textiles.
So please bring in good quality clean textiles, including
curtains, bed linen, clothing accessories and paired shoes.
The textile bank is situated in the main car park.
Recycle
We entered 10 children in the spelling bee, 4 went on to the
provincial leg, and Nomvula will be competing in the
nationals on the 29th. Please tell Jo that Mahlatse got up to
provincials in the spelling bee, won a trophy for guitar duet
( using the guitar she bought her) as well as for vocal duet at
eisteddfod, and got provincial colours for
tumbling.
We moved back to the school building last month. It is not
quite done yet, some things like floors will be done later
when we have raised enough funds. We are very pleased
with the result, it is beautiful, spacious and bright. The
playground is also taking shape. The children do a bit of
work every week. We have planted many flowers and shrubs
and have started creating a log stair. I'm sending you some
photos now, but I shall keep you informed about
developments. I hope you did not have too many regrets
about not being able to go to Kenya. Your visit was definitely
the highlight of our school year. The photos are not good
quality, but they will convey the growth to which your group
contributed so much.
Warmest regards,
Bukelwa Selema (Zama Montessori Centre)

Here at Brockington College, we recognise the importance that learning to play a musical instrument can have on a
young adult. It can help to promote a sense of self-discipline, self-esteem and enhance self-expression/creativity. We,
therefore, encourage as many pupils as possible to start and learn a musical instrument. If you are interested in booking
lessons for your child, then please contact the teacher of the instrument you are interested in . They will then send out
their information and contracts in order to start lessons with them.
If you have any questions, please contact Miss Styles at the school on 0116 286 3722 or via email
