THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 1 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE Dear Parents/Carers and Students, Once again, I would like to start by congratulating the vast majority of TRS students for their engagement, endeavor, attitude and approach towards their schooling as lockdown restrictions continue. I am very confident that, because of this, when they return to school, they will have placed themselves in an excellent position to achieve and/or exceed their academic potential. Please pass on my appreciation, praise and respect. Whist I cannot answer the most important question as to when exactly all students will be returning to school I can assure you that as soon as we hear anything we will communicate with you and work very hard to ensure we deliver the high level of education you would want and should expect. In the meantime, I would like to update you on a couple of matters; reporting to parents and parents evenings. REPORTING TO PARENTS We are constantly looking at ways to support parents (and students) both in regular times and now and whilst I regularly acknowledge how well the students are engaging I appreciate, as parents, you may not have a full grasp on how hard they are working during their lessons and exactly what they are learning. With this in mind, we have decided to send every student a ‘lockdown report’ for you and your child/children to sit down with and discuss. We have also organised parent consultation evenings for all year groups (Y7-Y12) • Every student will receive a report on Friday 12th February (via insight) • The report will include an Attitude to Learning (AtL) grade (1-5) for each subject, the AtL grades awarded last term (so you can compare) and an attendance % for each subject (the % of live lessons they have engaged with this term) • Reports will also include an overall attendance (from January to February) and the year group average overall attendance, both in percentages • If this report reveals something you were not aware of and/or that concerns you please contact your child’s DOY/HOY Continues over...

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 2 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS VIRTUAL PARENTS EVENINGS Linked to the previous paragraph, we will be hosting virtual parents evenings for all year groups this academic year. To do this successfully we have invested in a new online platform (SchoolCloud) which enables parents to book 5-minute appointments with the subject teachers they wish to speak with. As a school, we are moving away from PED (parent engagement days) where parents previously met with tutors to discuss subject progress and attainment and moving to a more traditional approach of subject specific meetings, for all year groups. Details of how to book will be shared in the next edition of The Regis News and sent via email to all relevant year groups. • Year 11 Parents Evening – Thursday 25th February 11.30am to 5.00pm • Year 7 Parents Evening – Thursday 18th March 11.30am to 5.00pm (unless the students are back in school when we will revert to after school bookings) • Year 10 Parents Evening – Thursday 25th March 11.30am to 5.00pm (unless the students are back in school when we will revert to after school bookings) • Year 8 and Year 9 Parents Evenings – these will be in the Summer term (dates TBC) • Year 12 Parents Evening – Thursday 22nd April 3.30pm to 6.30pm Finally, thank you once again for all the lovely email messages I continue to receive thanking staff for all their hard work. I am very proud of the skill, determination and professionalism our teachers continue to show and that our ambition of offering 100% live lessons continues to be tenaciously delivered.

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 5 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS YEAR 7 NEWS DIRECTOR OF YEAR & HEAD OF YEAR MESSAGE As we come to the end of our third full week of remote learning, we continue to be impressed by the high levels of engagement across the year group. So many of our students are not currently with us in the building but are continuing to display the values of our Regis 10 including but of course not limited to R8 Independence, R5 Determination, R4 Positivity and of course R6 Resilience. As we continue towards half term it is important that we continue to display these high standards and ensure that we are accessing all of our live learning. We, as ever understand the challenges that many of our families are experiencing in balancing family life, jobs and now home schooling – once again we thank all of our parents and carers for their hard work, dedication and fantastic communication skills in making all of this possible. Please remember that we are still here to support our Y7 community so please do get in touch if you have and questions or concerns. Stay safe and take care Mr Jewell and Miss Buckingham [email protected] and [email protected] YEAR GROUP FOCUS Positive Mindset During difficult times it is important that we look ahead to when things are better. We call this having a positive mindset. As we are well into lockdown life and remote learning a positive mindset has never been more important. Here are a few tips to develop a positive mindset: Make a record of your WOW moments at home. Keeping a record of things that you have achieved to make you feel proud will help you reflect on the positives when things seem particularly tough. Setting yourself small achievable goals will allow you to tackle what seems like a big problem into smaller more manageable and achievable pieces. Next time you feel like you have too much to do, try breaking each bit down into small targets! Sharing positivity is a great way to develop a positive mindset! Have you noticed someone at home has done something great? Why not tell them! Did you have a particularly good lesson today? Why not email the teacher to let them know!

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 6 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS YEAR 8 NEWS DIRECTOR OF YEAR & HEAD OF YEAR MESSAGE Although we are learning in a very different way to what we are used to, attendance and achievement is still very important. We are monitoring your attendance to lessons daily, your teachers are registering you, as they would be if you were in school. We are delighted to say that Year 8’s attendance is the highest in the school. Our best attending tutor groups for last week were 8A and 8B. Congratulation to Miss Dudman’s and Mrs Lovelock’s tutor groups, both over 95% which is incredible. You have set the bar Year 8, we now need to continue to achieve the highest results. Last Friday your parents received emails advising how many achievements you had received this week. It was so lovely to see so many of you being recognised for your hard work. As a year team we are super proud to see that the top 7 students were all from Year 8. Congratulations to the following students for this amazing achievement. Indi Purdy 8E - 44, Millie Wells 8E - 36, Olly Osborne 8D - 36, Chelsea Cooke 8C - 36, Zoe Wingate 8F - 33, Massimo Molica-Franco 8H - 32, Ashley Wightwick-Hotston 8E - 31. Congratulations also to Owen Page 8F who is the winner of the fortnightly Silver Ticket Award. Well done Owen, your voucher will be ready to collect when we return to school. YEAR GROUP FOCUS Your teachers have been blown away by the attitude to learning of the majority of those in their online lessons. It is fantastic to see so many of you discovering a newfound confidence in communicating the chat, being brave and putting your ‘virtual’ hands up, and taking part in quizzes, votes and assignments. We are so proud to see students that may struggle with expressing themselves in front of a class becoming much more confident over the chat and microphone. Just a reminder that your teachers are continuously monitoring your engagement and will expect to see you completing ALL of the tasks that they set. Your teachers can see the names of everyone who has completed a quiz or an assignment, which means it is very important to ensure you are not only IN the lesson, but you are INVOLVED in the lesson itself. Those who participate in every activity set will fly during this period, and when they return to school, they will be in a fantastic position to continue excelling in their learning. This week please make sure you focus on your readiness for lessons. It is expected that all students are prepared for lesson with: ✓ Subject specific notebook ✓ Your pencil case with green pens, writing pens, highlighters ✓ Rulers ✓ Subject specific equipment e.g. calculator If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact us on the email addresses below: [email protected] [email protected] Stay safe, keep washing your hands Ms Johns and Mrs Hack THE BEST IN EVERYONE CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO CONTENTS PAGE 29/01/2021

We will be talking about these excellent examples of the Regis Ten values in our learning next week, to provide a goal for all to maintain or reach. We would also like to remind students that it is vital that they attend and engage with all lessons and if there are any issues that they contact Mr Manvell or Miss Smith, as well as their class teacher.

Gorman has an auditory processing disorder; is hypersensitive to sound and had a speech impediment during childhood. Gorman participated in speech therapy where she viewed her speech impediment “as a gift and a strength” rather than seeing how it hindered her. Her poem emphasizes the opportunity that the future holds; a “When day comes, we step out of message key to young people right now who may well feel anxious about the uncertainty of the future, and especially significant given the shade, aflame and unafraid. her own experience.

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 9 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS YEAR 11 NEWS DIRECTOR OF YEAR & HEAD OF YEAR MESSAGE Dear Year 11, We have been so impressed with the dedication that most of you are displaying with your online learning and the submission of work teachers are being sent. Please keep this up! With the Government announcement that you won’t be returning to school in February now, it is vital that we continue to achieve excellent attendance and engagement Y11! Please remember we are monitoring your attendance for each lesson and we will be contacting parents and students who aren’t attending their online lessons. Your attitude to learning also plays an important factor, just as it would in school, so please make sure you are always on time to your lessons (do email teachers if you are struggling to get into a lesson!) remember to respond positively and contribute wherever you can. And don’t forget to incorporate your Regis values throughout your day and in your learning. Remember we want to reward you too! Reward points will be distributed as they would be in school, and you will be able to spend them when we come back to school. Congratulations to Megan Bryant-Lawson for winning this fortnight’s Silver ticket – we will make sure you get this Take care, Mrs Walker and Miss McMann YEAR GROUP FOCUS This week’s focus by Mrs Wyles, Year 11 Wellbeing and Progress Mentor If you are getting overwhelmed… • Talk with somebody you trust, a family member, friend, tutor, Head of year, teacher, support line (Miss McMann, Mrs Walker, or myself - [email protected] are all here to support you) • It’s ok to have a good moan and rant about how difficult this time may be, yes, we are lucky we are not at war physically; however, it is still tough and hard for each of us in different ways…it is making a lot of people uptight so look after each other and respect each other’s feelings. • It may help writing down how you are feeling whether these are good or not so good feelings, you can keep this or rip it up (it’s proven to be good for you to express what is difficult for you. Not bottling it all up inside, expressing it and getting it out can help.) • Make a list of things you feel will help you, work through these one at a time as you feel ready to. • Make a list of the things you need to do and work through this, question yourself what really needs doing, and what does not, crossing out what does not, and then work through each, and as you get it done cross it off, every time you do one thing from your list it gets smaller and more manageable.

This was in lieu of the normal Saturday morning training session that has been held each year for the past decade. This session was the next step in the process to becoming a YSL at The Regis School and all pupils who submitted an application form before Christmas were invited to attend. From the 80 pupils invited we had 67 attend the session, which we were thrilled with, as it clearly demonstrated their passion and enthusiasm for this opportunity! We have been able to give them the best possible start on this journey and have left them with tasks to complete over the next month in order for them to move forward, even in these strange times. We are looking forward seeing some fantastic work and feedback from the applicants and have every confidence that when we return to school we will have a new cohort of determined, resilient and confident YSL’s. Well done to them all. THE BEST IN EVERYONE CLICK HERE TO RETURN TO CONTENTS PAGE 29/01/2021

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 16 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS Examples of Great Student Work During Lockdown In School Key worker Provision - Great work! Was it really there? I stumbled back, immediately retracting my arm away from the round handle that was attached to the door. My attention was taken away from opening the handle, it focusing on the object that had momentarily appeared into my free hand. Deafening silence of the halls only affected my thinking pattern more deeply as I brought both of my hands up to my face. Oozing blood dripped on the side of the weapon, falling onto the floor only to not make a smudge on the wood whatsoever. It was as if the blood had disappeared into thin air as soon as the substance contacted the floor. Out of small panic, I brought both of my hands up to my face, the dagger deciding to slowly fade out of my grip. The top of my brow quirked, forming into a slight crease as I tried to make sense of if it was there or not. Fear had started to consume my body as I pivoted on my heel, putting my left foot behind me and taking another step away from the door. I turned my body away from the room, placing my hands on the back of my head as if to grip on the ends of my hair. A deep sigh had escaped my lips as I attempted to contain myself. I had to focus on the positives if the plan had gone through, rather than the negatives that I would be faced with if the plan had failed. With a composed posture, my hand would detach from my hair and instead clutch the dagger that had been sat in my pocket this whole time. I steadied it in my hands, edging forward to the door with barely any regrets. I deeply breathed in, my hand extending over to the door handle as It came into my grip.

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 24 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS Inclusion Relaxation Corner Breathing and relaxation tips When things get a little too much for you or your child, try using this tip either with them or on their own. Breathe slowly and deeply together. You can count slowly to five as you breathe in, and then five as you breathe out. If this is too much, try starting with shorter counts. If it works for them, gradually encourage your child to breathe out for one or two counts longer than they breathe in, as this can help their body relax. Or Try using all five senses together. Connecting with what they can see, touch, hear, smell and taste can bring them closer to the present moment and reduce the intensity of their anxiety. You might think together about five things they can see, four things they can touch, three things they can hear, two things they can smell and one thing they can taste.

THE REGIS NEWS VOLUME 4 ISSUE 10 PAGE 26 THE REGIS SCHOOL - NO LIMITS What Careers can I get if I study Maths? Why is the study of Maths so important? Studying Maths will develop your ability to think critically about what happened in the past, and how this shapes the lives of people around the world.

Students develop a critical understanding of the impact of design and technology on daily life and the wider world.
