Sixth Form News Sixth Form Leavers 2016 It is an exci<ng <me in the Sixth Form. Exams are under way and all learners are working hard in prepara<on for their AS and A2 examina<ons. It will soon be <me to say goodbye to our Year 13 and wish this fantas<c year group well for their next step. Year 13 are all now very much looking forward to their Leavers’ Ball. Induction and Sixth Form Taster Day Congratulations It will then be <me to welcome the next year group of learners to populate the Sixth Form block. On Friday th 24 June we are holding our Year 11 induc<on to Sixth Form day. This will be for current Year 11 learners that have applied to study at our Sixth Form, from both within the Bewdley School and also a record number of learners from other schools. During the day, they will experience a range of A level subjects and will have the opportunity to discuss Sixth Form life with current students, along with iden<fying the enrichment experiences they can have outside of the curriculum, whilst studying at the Bewdley Sixth Form Centre. th We will also be holding a taster day, on Wednesday 7 July, for Year 10 learners from our school and other local schools, who feel studying A levels will be the next step for them to take. On the day those learners who feel they would prefer to study a voca<onal course when they finish Year 11, will have the opportunity to visit Kidderminster College to experience college life. This is a fantas<c opportunity for learners to start thinking about the next step in their educa<on and set targets to achieve in the future. Bewdley Open Studio Congratula<ons to Jemma Pos<ngs, whose fine art pain<ng was recently selected to be exhibited at the Bewdley Open Studio event at the Bewdley Museum. Jemma exhibited her pain<ng alongside professional ar<sts from across the Wyre Forest. Farewell Can I take this opportunity to once again wish Year 13 all the very best for the future from all of the staff at the Bewdley School; they have been a great year group to work with and have brought a fantas<c work ethic to the Sixth Form, that I know will serve them well in appren<ceships, university courses and employment.

Sixth Form News Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) A group of Year 13 students have been working par<cularly hard in recent weeks pudng the finishing touches to their Extended Project Qualifica<ons. The Extended Project, equivalent to half an A level, involves students carrying out independent research and producing a 5000 word report and presenta<on. The qualifica<on is highly valued by Universi<es, who see it as the most effec<ve way to demonstrate university style independent working and research skills while s<ll at sixth form. Geoff Parks, Director of Admissions at Cambridge University, said: “The poten<al benefits are enormous. Opportuni<es to get deeply involved in a subject that interests you, to develop research skills, to pull together different areas of the other subjects you are studying and to develop extended wri<ng skills will all be enormously valuable prepara<on for going to university. I would strongly encourage students to do an extended project, whichever university they want to go to.” This year the projects have been par<cularly broad in scope, ranging from the controversial topic of the impact of social media on adolescents, the impact of the new smoking ban, and whether athletes who have been found to use drugs to enhance performance should be allowed to compete in sport. Miss Mistry, the Extended Projects Coordinator at The Bewdley School said: 'This year the quality of work provided by learners has been outstanding and is a true testament to their hard work and efforts put in throughout the process. All learners have enjoyed the process of pudng together a formal research proposal and would highly recommend the extended project to other students who wish to study at university level.” Miss Mistry - Extended Project Co-ordinator/Pyschology Teacher 5

Ski Trip 2016 “It was enjoyable, but tough! ” During the first week of the Easter holidays, fiKy-six learners and eight members of staff made the exci<ng trip to Courmayeuer, Italy. The whole group had six fantas<c days of skiing and snowboarding plus a range of après ski ac<vi<es. Learners were put into ski or snowboarding groups depending on their abili<es, and sent off all over the mountain to get working on their skills! All learners enjoyed being on the mountain, with the fantas<c picturesque views and crisp white snow (and yummy hot chocolate!) They all worked extremely hard and the whole group improved their skills. By the end of the week, all first-<mers managed red runs and the more advanced skiers and boarders completed the most difficult black runs! AKer skiing, learners and staff went back to the hotel to freshen up for the après ski ac<vi<es; shopping, pizza night, quiz night with prizes, crêpes, ice cream and even a disco! On the final night we had a rewards evening where everyone received a cer<ficate and badge for their efforts and where many of the group instructors said what a wonderful fun-filled week they had teaching Bewdley learners - some even said they were their best group of the season! It is true to say that everyone had a fantas<c week filled with fun and laughter, which will be remembered for a long <me. One Year 11 learner said it was “the best holiday ever! I have never laughed so much in my life!” and another student said: 'You feel like a big family by the end of the trip - it was amazing!' There are limited spaces leK for next year's trip. If you are interested, please see Mr Baxter or Mrs Kent for a leWer. Great News! The Interski scholarship program has been running for fourteen years, and this allows ten excep<onal students per year to train and become BASI instructors. Several thousand students go to Italy over the season and one of our learners has been selected as one of thirty to aWend the Inters Scholarship Selec<on Day in Manchester at the end of June. This is a once in a life<me opportunity and our Bewdley learner, James Roper, should be very proud! Congratula<ons James! Mrs A Sahota and Mrs S Kent - Ski Trip Staff Reporters 8

French Spelling Bee Competition held at Aston University th On the 13 of April, a group of KS3 learners went to Aston University to par<cipate in the French Spelling Bee Compe<<on 2016. The journey to Birmingham was a liWle tense as none of us knew what lay ahead, and who we would be up against, and how good they would be! When we arrived at Aston University we had a picnic lunch beside a small waterfall. AKer finishing, we went into a large auditorium where an introduc<on was made and we were told which rooms we were going to. All of us fran<cally prac<sed our spellings gedng fourteen words right in a minute! The actual compe<<on was nerve-wracking; each contestant was called up and every <me someone went back to their seats you wondered whether you would be next. Emily Miles was selected first from The Bewdley High School & Sixth Form Centre, and she was literally shaking! However, she did extremely well and spelt twelve words correctly in the minute even though she was under pressure. Everyone else did extremely well too! We were all relieved when it was over! The event was an amazing experience and one we will never forget. It boosted our confidence tremendously, and some<mes we find that we now naturally spell English words using the French alphabet. All of us have made lots of progress in French , as the French Spelling Bee Compe<<on really helped us develop our understanding of French, and made us love the language too!

Mock Trial Competition Regional Finals - Wolverhampton Crown Court th On the 14 May 2016, our school’s Mock Trial team went to the Wolverhampton Crown Court to take part in the Regional Final of the Magistrates Mock Trial Compe<<on. For many weeks beforehand, we had been preparing for the trial, with prac<ces every Wednesday aKer school, with the help of Mr Erbin and Mrs Ranford and Abby Holden, in order for us to develop our skills in how the law works. The case we were given, was for online harassment, in which a fake profile was set up in the name of the vic<m. We had to both sympathise and scru<nise the defendant and injured party. At the court, we went up against two schools, one ac<ng as defence and another as prosecu<on. We all had two different roles, one for each court trial. The lawyers had to ques<on the witnesses, pudng doubt into the magistrates’ minds. The witnesses had to learn their statements by heart, the legal advisor had to sum up the law and help the magistrates understand the case. The usher had to lead all the witnesses to the stand, and follow the procedure of the court. Finally, magistrates had to re<re to a room aKerwards to debate the verdict of the case. All in all, this experience was very interes<ng and we all learnt a lot about the law and the court procedure. Although we did not win, it has helped us with our understanding regarding Bri<sh Values and Bri<sh law. We would all like to thank all the staff and helpers for offering us this amazing experience!

Science Future Medics Programme With Medical Mavericks rd On 23 March Thomas Blyth, Joshua Harry, Saskia Judd, Ben Rumley and Rosie Young took part in their first ac<vity as part of the ‘Future Medics Programme’. This programme was launched back in December in partnership with the StreWon Trust and its aim is to provide our learners, along with 30 pupils from the other six Con<nU Trust schools, with experiences which will help prepare them for university applica<ons to medicine-related courses and give them the edge over other applicants. During the fun-packed day, led by Tom Warrender from the ‘Medical Mavericks’ team, our learners were able to experience what life could be like as doctors. Amongst the many ac<vi<es, they were able to record and print their own ECG and EMG traces; scan their re<nas with an iPhone; use an ultrasound scanner to observe their hearts; take blood samples from a dummy and use the same equipment used to train surgeons for keyhole surgery. The event was a success and the learners are looking forward to the next event in the programme. Mr G Lowrie -Faculty Head for Science 12

English Year 9 English – Studying ‘Of Mice and Men’ 9B3 English group were set an ambi<ous homework project of designing and building the prominent sedng of the bunkhouse within the John Steinbeck novella: ‘Of Mice and Men’. They needed to show an understanding of selec<ng the key specific details presented at the beginning of Chapter Two. Published in 1937, ‘Of Mice and Men’ tells the story of George Milton and Lennie Small, two displaced migrant ranch workers, who move from place to place in California in search of new job opportuni<es during the Great Depression. These bunkhouses represent the first descrip<on given by Steinbeck of George and Lennie’s accommoda<on at the main ranch in the story. Their pieces were a delight and were indica<ve of the hard work and enthusiasm of the group. They should be as proud of their achievements, as I was! Miss L Roberts - English Teacher 14

MFL Barcelona Trip “¡Buen viaje!” Year 9 visited Barcelona over the Easter break, along with Señor Erbin, Señor Houillon, Señora Painter and Señora Wilmot, who all enjoyed discovering the Spanish culture. On the first day, the group visited the Spanish theme park, Port Aventura, where many of the group went on the tallest rollercoaster in Europe, Shambala and could s<ll stand aKerwards! On the second day, the group took a trip into Barcelona to visit some iconic features of the city such as La Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and Camp Nou, and in the evening went on a walk on the beach. The next day (Easter Sunday) everyone took advantage of the Spanish sunshine by relaxing on the beach in Tossa de Mar and shopping for souvenirs. Later on, a few braved the pool, even though it was absolutely freezing! On the last day in Spain, everyone took part in a two-hour language lesson, which was great fun. Back to the hotel , everyone got ready to leave. AKer a <ring flight home, everyone arrived back in England at 2 o’clock in the morning. This was a brilliant trip and everyone involved would all like to thank the teachers that made it possible. The MFL department will be running the Year 7 Boulogne Trip from June 21st - 23rd.

Inclusion Bewdley Speed Stacking Champion This spring the Inclusion Suite has been filled with the sound of cup stacking. Speed Stacking is a sport that is gaining in popularity. It requires technique and skill to be able to stack the cups into sequences in the fastest possible <mes. Tournaments are held worldwide and the speed stacking bug is spreading fast! We held our own Speed Stack Championship over break and lunch <mes. Many students entered across the year groups and even a few of the teaching assistants tried their hand to see who could get the best <me. We were very impressed by the <mes that people were achieving, but nobody could beat Harvey Wright in Year 7, who has been named the Bewdley Speed Stack Champion for 2016.

Drama The Drama department have been extremely busy with a Year 12/13 trip to London theatres, and the forthcoming KS3 production of Bugsy Malone, which will be performed on June 13th and 14th. Also, Creative Arts B Band performed the Lost World which was written for, devised for and presented to Bewdley Primary learners. It was a fantastic success - the KS2 learners sat in the middle of the activity studio and watched the performance taking place around them. They were very impressed by the flying Pterodactyl, and gave the performers very good feedback! Drama 20

KS3 Geography Worcester Wildlife Trip th On the 18-19 April, Year 8 headed off to inves<gate soil! With the help of staff at Worcestershire Wildlife Trust, they were able to have some hands-on fieldwork experience. One of the ac<vi<es was to put rocks and soil into their geological context, and gave learners the chance to be detec<ves, and try to work out what type of rock they were given. In the second ac<vity, learners had to try to make their own soil. They discussed the main components of soil, and then went foraging to find the right ingredients. They then had to try to re-create 1000s of years of weathering and erosion, and see if they could make something that resembled soil. Understandably, despite some very vigorous hammering from some groups, they failed. It allowed learners to see how difficult and complex the forma<on of soil is, and what a precious resource it is. Finally, learners really got their hands dirty, as they used soil augers to dig into the soil and remove samples; they then recorded the characteris<cs of the soil, including the pH and nitrate levels, as well as the presence of any mini-beasts! In our geography lessons we have been using the data that they recorded to compare the soil quality and characteris<cs across the three sites at WWT. Overall, it was a really enjoyable day in which learners got to experience some ‘real’ geography fieldwork. The geography department would like to thank Year 8 for their maturity during the day, and thank those staff that supported the trip, both in school and during the visit.
