From the Principal’s Desk...

Dear  Parents  and  Friends,

I  am  delighted  to  introduce  the  first  newsle8er   of  the  academic   year.   Though  just   approaching  half-­‐term  we  have  been  very  busy   in  all  secBons  of  the  school,  and  can  report  that  everyone  has  begun  the  new  year  with  a  very  posiBve  and  purposeful  spirit.

As  many   of  you  are  already   aware,   SES  students  have  produced   some  excellent   results   in  the  summer  examinaBons  –  this  success  runs  through  all  the  Key  Stages,  into  GCSEs  and  right  up  to  A  Levels.  Each  and  every  one  of  the  students  should  be  congratulated  on  their  achievements,  which  maintain  our  success  rates  at  a  level  well  in  excess  of  UK  expectaBons.  Though  we  can  be  proud  of  our   successes   in   areas   such   as   drama,   music,   sport   and   other   extra-­‐curricular   acBviBes,   we  recognise,   as  a   school,   that   for   parents  and   students  examinaBon   success   is  what   we  will  be  judged  on.   Happily   our   achievements  here  are  enviable  and   improving.   I  thank  all  the  staff   for  their  contribuBon  to  this  success,  and  to  parents  for  their  support  and  engagement.

We   hope   that   the   recent   launch   of   SES   Communicator   is  helping   keep   parents   informed   of  developments  and  news  –   the  take  up  by   parents  has  been  rapid  and  feedback  posiBve.   If  you  have  not   yet   downloaded  the  applicaBon  onto  your   home  computer   or  mobile  device,   I  would  urge   you   to   do   so.   By   customising   your   access,   it   is   possible   to   keep   abreast   of   all   that   is  happening,  without   being   inundated  with   informaBon  that   doesn’t   apply   to  your   children.   Our  target  is  to  have  all  parents  on  board  this  iniBaBve  during  the  coming  weeks.  The  benefits  in  terms  of  ease  of  communicaBon  should  be  very  apparent.

As  the  weather   begins  to  cool,   we  enter  a  very  busy   period  of  sports  acBviBes  and  camps.  We  would  urge  all  parents  to  make  sure  that  the  pupils  take  full  advantage  of  the  range  of  acBviBes  available  to  them.   The  importance  of  offering  a  well-­‐balanced,   all  round  educaBon  is  crucial  to  what  we  offer  –  to  this  end  we  are  always  trying  to  add  and  expand  our  provision.  Parents  are  also  encouraged  to  a8end,  as  regularly  as  they  can,  the  various  parent  meeBngs  and  presentaBons  on  offer;   there   is   no   quesBon   that   a   strong   partnership   of   school   and   parents   is   one   of   the  cornerstones  for  any  school’s  success.    

It  is  with  great  enthusiasm  and  excitement  that  I  look  forward  to  another  exciBng  year  of  success  and  development  at  SES.  

Regards,

John  Nolan

As I start my first year at SES, I would like to thank parents, pupils and staff for making me feel so welcome. SES is a school I have known for many years and it is indeed a pleasure to now be part of the family.

We have started the year with a very positive feel to the school. Many parents have volunteered to help in various ways in the daily life of the school, helping in classes, supporting the PSG and running afternoon clubs, to name but a few. Thanks to everyone involved for their time and efforts. It is greatly appreciated.

This year we will be aiming to improve punctuality. We would ask you to ensure your child arrives at school on time, ready to start school at 7.50. If you do arrive late, please go straight to the office to ensure the register is amended.

We are also encouraging independence with all Primary pupils. For example, Years 3 & 4 are now choosing their own reading books and are responsible for completing the record sheets in their reading diaries.

As you will read in the Primary section, pupils are actively involved in a wide range of activities and fun filled days. Our Read Write INC initiative is now fully underway, we’ve had a hugely successful Maths Day and our after school activity clubs are offering everything from cookery and drama to football and knitting! I too have been clicking knitting needles in an effort to help the enthusiastic girls in Mrs. Kirkup’s club! My Tuesday afternoons will never be the same again. All this and it’s only mid -term.

I look forward to the rest of the term which will no doubt be a busy one as we approach the Christmas season and all the excitement that brings.

My best wishes to you all,

Nan McKeownHead of Primary

Foundation 1 welcome a new student

Foundation 1 have just welcomed a new student called Bertie. Bertie is no ordinary

student. Bertie lives in a cottage with Mama Bear and Papa Bear. His best friend Goldilocks told him all about school. Now

Bertie has turned three and he was accepted in Foundation 1. Bertie is a good bear. He likes to receive cuddles from the children in Foundation. He also enjoys sitting on the mat and listening to Mrs.

Doublesin read a story. Bertie loves to sit with really good children. The thing Bertie

likes best is choosing someone on a Thursday to go home with.

Math  Day  in  FoundationMath  day  was  a  wonderful  experience  for  all  the  classes  in  Foundation.  We  looked  at  Numbers  and  Shape  in  a  totally  new  way.  Although  in  Foundation  Stage  we  learn  mostly  through  activities  and  play,  we  went  a  step  further.  Foundation  Stage  teachers  prepared  three  activities  for  the  children.  They  prepared  games,  songs  and  a  craft  activity.  The  students  jumped  through  numbered  hula  hoops  while  playing  Foxes  and  Rabbits.  They  sang  number  songs  as  they  danced  to  the  music.  Finally  the  students  in  Foundation  made  necklaces  using  coloured  pasta  to  make  patterns.  It  was  a  day  enjoyed  by  all,  students  and  teachers  alike.

life to show the landmarks and special occasions that they remember. Happily,it didn’t take too long to do - after all most of

them are only six!

Victorian TopicYear 5 has been learning about life in Victorian times. We have studied the work of L.S. Lowry and recreated some of his townscapes. We have also researched into how children were treated in the past and decided to create posters to protest against child labour. We discussed ideas and then used an ICT lesson to produce a poster. Year 5 students have developed their research and ICT skills: inserting pictures; changing font size; colour; style and inserting word art.

Primary  Maths  Day

On  Thursday  4th  October,  we  had  Primary  Maths  Day.    All  children   from   Foundation   Stage   to   Year   6   had   an  opportunity  to  discover  Maths  through  different  areas  of  the   curriculum.   The   day   proved   to   be   very   enjoyable,  giving  the  pupils  a  chance   to  link  their  learning  of  Maths  to  everyday  life  and  to  the  ‘real  world’.

Throughout   the   day  children   took   part   in  some   of   the  following  activities:

• Maths  orienteering.• ICT  challenges.• Maths  in  Art.• Puzzles  and  problems.• Mr.  Geometry.• Quizzes.

In   the   afternoon   parents   took   part   in   a   Mental   Maths  workshop,   which   highlighted   the   calculation   strategies  we   use   in   lessons.   Also,   this   session   focused   on   the  expectations   of   each   year   group   and   demonstrated  some  of   the   resources   and   fun  games  we   use   in  class.  Parents   were   provided   with   helpful   hints   and   tips   for  supporting   their   children   to   recall   mental   calculations  quickly.  It  was  a  huge  success  -­‐  many  thanks  to  all  of  the  parents  who  took  the  time  to  come  in.

Emirates  NBD  Compe((onSES  Business  Studies  students  have  scooped  two  of  major  awards  at  a  recent  banking  compe::on.If  you  cast  your  memory  back  to  last  year,  AS  Business  Studies  students  took  part   in  the  Emirates  NBD  ‘Be   a  Banker  for  a  Day’  work  experience  and  compe::on.   This  pres:gious  event  aGracted  38  schools  from  across  the  UAE.  At   the   end  of  September  a  prize-­‐giving  ceremony  was  held  at  the  Emirates  NBD  Headquarters  overlooking  the  Creek  in  Dubai.

Franchise  TalkMrs  Selina  Khan,   the   franchise   owner  from   Subway,  came   in  for  her  now  annual  visit,   to  meet   the  Year  10  Business  Studies  students  and  to  talk  about  franchising  in  the  real  world.  

Insights  from  successful  business  owners  like  Mrs  Khan  are  very  memorable  for  the  students  and  can  be   recalled   and   u:lised   effec:vely   in   examina:ons   –   it’s   always   a  more   concrete   approach   to  learning  than  abstract  theory.  

We   are   always   seeking   people   to  come   and   speak   to  our   students  about   seXng   up   or  running   a  business.   If   you   think   you   can   give   an   insight   into   any   element   of   business   from   which   our   our  students   would   benefit,   then   please   get   in   touch   with   the   Business   Department,(mmcnulty@sharjahenglishschool.org).

Siddhant  Sharma  in  Year  13  came  first  overall  in  the   compe::on,  winning  the  very  enviable  prize  of   10,000AED!   Siddhant   wrote   a   detailed   essay  on  his   insights   into   banking  and   what   he   learnt  from   his   experience   during   a   day   visi:ng   the  various   departments   in   a   bank.   The   ceremony  involved  him   giving   press  and   TV   interviews,   as  well  as  speaking   about   his  experiences  to  many  of  the  bank’s  top  execu:ves.

News  from  Business  Studies

Ayah   Ballout   also   won   the   special   Crea:ve   Award.  Ayah   brought   her   film   making   talent   into   her  response   to   the   banking   experience.   The   crea:ve  execu:ves   at   Emirates   NBD   were   so   impressed   by  her   efforts  that   the   video  was  played  repeatedly   in  the   lobby   for  all   the   bank’s  visitors  and  guests.   For  Ayah,  who  intends  to  pursue  film  studies  at  college,  it  was  a  fabulous  opportunity  to  showcase  her  talents.

Achieving   the   dis:nc:on   of   winning   two   of   the   four   awards  was  a   wonderful  achievement   for   the  school.  Well  done   to  all  the  other  students  who  also  entered  the  compe::on:   Jonathan  Vaughn,  Faisal  Hamza  and  Emmad  Chinnoy.  The   Business  Studies  students  can  add  these  performances  to   the  success  they  achieved  in  the  Heriot  WaG  University  compe::on  earlier   in  the   year.  Both  compe::ons  will  be   running  again  this  year  –  so  we  look  forward  to  repea:ng  our  success!

News from the Secondary SchoolExamination Success at SESIt has been a rewarding summer for SES students taking important examinations.

Our GCSE results have again been very good throughout Years 10 and 11. In Year 11 nearly half of the examination grades awarded were at A*/A. 90% of students gained A-C in at least 5 subjects including English and Maths, which is the measure most frequently used by schools to judge their success, (the UK average in 2011 was 58.3%). Our Year 10s who entered GCSE modular exams also enjoyed considerable success. In a year where results were characterized by some turmoil in the UK and by a slight fall in standards, ours were the best ever at this level.

Particularly noteworthy were the students who entered early for AS examinations. The policy of challenging able students by offering early entry was borne out by these results.

GCE / A level results continued our distinction of having had a 100% pass rate since we started offering these exams. The number of students achieving A*/A grades increased. Crucially, all students gained acceptance on their first choice university or college places.

While we congratulate all the students who sat examinations, a special mention must go to Savva Pronin, who achieved the very rare distinction of getting 5 A* grades at A level.

Maths Problem Of The Month

The  problem  for  this  month  is:Find  the  missing  number:

6  divided  by  8  =  27

Insert  the  same  number  twice  into  the  expression  above  to  make  it  correct.

The answer will appear in the next issue of the newsletter.

Almost  A  Free  Lunch…

We  would  like  to  invite  any  professional  to  lunch  on  us  at  the  Secondary  School.  But,  as  you  know,  there  is  no  such  thing  as  a  free  lunch  in  this  life……  In  return  we  would  like  you  to  give  our  students  a  talk  with  some  insight  into  your  profession  as  part  of  our  careers  provision.  

The  aim  of  the  series  of  talks  is  to  provide  students  with  the  opportunity  to  speak  to  someone  in  a  career  they  may  have  an  interest  in  or  even  one  they  had  not  considered  previously.  It  will  be  a  very  relaxed  and  informal  way  for  students  to  ask  you  ques:ons  and  for  you  to  give  your  perspec:ve  on  your  profession.  So  far  we  have  journalists  and  designers  booked  for  November  but  we  need  to  schedule  a  whole  series  of  such  talks.

If  you  think  you  can  spare  a  lunch  hour  or  know  someone  from  your  company  or  business  that  might  like  to  meet  the  students,    then  please  contact  mmcnulty@sharjahenglishschool.org

News from the Secondary SchoolMastercookThe initiative of providing nutritious and healthy school lunches in Secondary has been very successful during the first half-term. Mastercook has supplied up to 70 meals a day to students and staff. As the programme develops there have also been some additional provisions, such as the inclusion of a vegetarian option.

Though many students opt for the meals each day, they have the option of ordering just for the days they may remain behind for clubs or sports. The flexibility this provides undoubtedly adds to the scheme’s popularity but students need to remember to order in advance.

We hope that the provision of lunches will relieve some pressure and concerns of parents about providing sustenance to their children through the arduous school day.

So, anyone else for Honey Roasted Chicken Breast? Bread and Butter Pudding? Strawberry Cheesecake?

Career Guidance ProgrammeOctober 15th was ISCO Day. The Independent Schools Careers Organisation is the outside consultancy body we use to supplement our own careers / college entry programme. Mr Martin Minshall, of ISCO, spent a day in the school, where he spoke to Years 12 and 13 about university choices and the all-important ‘personal statement’. He also spoke to Year 11 about A-level choices. After school he talked with staff about reference writing and some samples were discussed.

Initial feedback from the students is that it was a very worthwhile activity.

The ISCO initiative, and the associated Futurewise online programme, has run for nearly a year at the school. Opportunities will be available in January for students not already enrolled to sign up for the programme of aptitude testing, analysis and advice which Martin offers on his regular visits to the school.

We are continuing to develop our careers provision, with staff attending training courses on this area and additional careers advice being offered lower down the school as part of PHSE.

Tex:les  has  come  to  Sharjah  English  School  as  a  Design  and  Technology   subject  at  GCSE.  Year  10s   are   already  working  hard   to   design   and   create   many   items   from   cushions   to  bags   and,   for   the   more   ambi:ous,   clothes   design   is   the  challenge.  

Tex:les   Technology   is   an   exci:ng   subject   that  encourages   students   to   consider  technological  advances   in   tex:les   and  materials   as  well   as   building  on   tradi:onal   skills   and  understanding.    Students   learn   about   poten:al   careers   in   this   very   large   successful   industry,   with   fashion,  costume   and   interior   designer   being   some   of   the   possible   routes   which   interested   and  successful   students   can   embark   on.   They   are   also   exposed   to   less   well-­‐known   jobs   in   the  industry,  such   as   that  of  wri:ng,  edi:ng,  and   illustra:ng  fashion  publica:ons.  Other  students  might  be  interested  in  the  scien:fic  disciplines  associated  with  tex:le  technology  and  research.

Year  9  is   star:ng  Tex:les  by  designing  and  making  one  product,  a  sports  bag.    They  will   then  use  this  experience  to  help  them  to  make  their  op:on  choices  early  next  year.  It  has  been  great  to  see   the  whole  class   enjoying  working  on   the  theme  of   the  Olympics,  turning  their  designs  into  a  real  product  in  their  prac:cal  lessons.  You,  as  parents,  will,  I  am  sure,  see  the  results  of  their  enthusias:c  hard  work  soon.  

In  addi:on   to  the  curriculum  lessons,  there   is   also   a  Tex:les  Club  running  on   a  Monday  afer  school  where  all  age  groups  are  welcome  to  come  and  make  tex:le  items.

News from the Secondary SchoolStudent Council Elections

Mitt Romney and Barak Obama may have been debating intensely for the upcoming pres ident ia l elections in November. But neither would have stood much chance in the recent student council elections, where the well-oiled and persuasive campaigns of the candidates made for some thrilling elections.

Those aspiring to lead their f e l l ow s tuden t s made presentations at assembly or in registration, created posters and slogans and promoted their ideas for advancing the school very effectively.

The Student Council is a growing influence on school policy and provides students with the experience of meaningful leadership and responsibility. We are delighted to see so many students keen to participate and have been genuinely impressed by the quality of the manifestos. Representing their peers is a challenge and a service which enhances the students’ persuasive powers, their communication and inter-personal skills.

Well done to all who put themselves forward and to those chosen to lead!

Sports CouncilThis year the SES PE Department, alongside the Key Stage Heads, have introduced a Sports Council. This will be a panel of students, representing each year group, who will offer their input into how sport is provided at SES.

The students in Key Stage Three campaigned for a week to gain votes, including presenting to their peers during assembly. Key Stage Four students were asked to write a letter of application to the Head of PE, Mr Garrett, to be cons idered. The success fu l candidates were Fay Azar, Kopano Chipwayambokoma, Andrew Barabarian, Eloise Hayward, Hind Absnana, Gabriel Doublesin, Tori Whiffen, Ross Hughes, Sam Menzies and Adam Master.

Key  Stage  Three  has  been  motivated  this  term  by  the  introduction  of  the  'Form  Awards'.    At  the  end  of   each  half   term  a  trophy  is   presented  to   the  form  who  has   been  rewarded  the  most  around  the  school.  This  has  encouraged  Key  Stage  Three  teachers  to  be  more  proactive  in  recognising  positive  contributions   in   lessons.   There  has   also   been   a   weekly   general   knowledge   quiz   to   challenge   the  students  which  also  counts  towards  the  overall  award.

This   half   term   the   trophy  was   awarded   to   8SB  during   a  Secondary  School   assembly,  a   consistent  string  of  high  quiz  scores  making  all  the  difference  to  the  points  totals.  Well  done!
