Newport Girls' High School Academy

newport girls' high school academy

Shropshire

From the Headteacher, Michael Scott May I extend a warm welcome to our website. Newport Girls’ High School offers an all-round education with considerable strengths both inside and beyond the classroom. We support students academically to achieve their potential, whilst also developing resilience and promoting emotional wellbeing. As a relatively small school, there is a real family-feel to NGHS and our house system affords students the chance to meet peers in other year groups and to participate in healthy competition in a wide range of disciplines. There is an extra-curricular activity to suit all tastes at NGHS and staff work exceptionally hard to provide these opportunities for our students. We also organise a number of key open events during the academic year and welcome visitors to see all that NGHS has to offer. Our curriculum is academically rigorous with all students studying two modern languages in KS3 and separate sciences at GCSE. Some students also study Further Maths as an additional equivalent GCSE. At A-level we offer a full range of subjects to enable progression to university, apprenticeship or employment. Significant support with UCAS applications is available to all. Our pastoral team, comprising both teaching Heads of Year, SENDCO and non-teaching support staff ensure that our students’ individual needs are met and we work closely with families and primary schools to ensure a smooth transfer from Year 6. Newport Girls’ High School was visited by Ofsted in October 2019 for a section 8 inspection. We are delighted to have retained our outstanding status as a result of this visit under the revised Ofsted framework.

Xaverian College

xaverian college

Manchester

Jesus Christ taught that God is at the centre of our lives and that the love of truth and concern for the needs of others must be fundamental to our way of living. Inspired by Jesus Christ and by the missionary zeal of their founder, Theodore James Ryken, the Xaverian Brothers are dedicated to the creation of schools and colleges as communities in which these truths are the guiding principles and in which the spiritual, moral and intellectual talents of their students are nurtured. A Xaverian college must provide opportunities for growth in the knowledge and practice of the Roman Catholic religion through prayer, worship, study and service to others in and beyond the college community. The obligation to help students to develop all their talents calls for a commitment on our part to good teaching, dedicated pastoral care and a readiness to relate to students both inside and outside the classroom. Through this commitment, the students will experience and respond to the good will and concern of their teachers. The cause of justice is an essential theme in the message of Christianity. In a Xaverian college, staff and students will be conscious of the demands of social justice in local, national and international issues and will seek to discover ways in which they can most appropriately respond as individuals and as a community. Our students are living in a secular society where persuasive forces influence them away from a spiritual view of life. In the same spirit of faith and hope which inspired our founder, we wish to commend to our students a way of life which is rooted in the love of God and our neighbour.

Tettenhall College

I am delighted to welcome you to Tettenhall College, as both Headmaster and as a parent. Our thriving day and boarding school educates girls and boys aged 2 to 18 years old within a wonderful campus offering superb facilities in the heart of our local community. The aim of our school, at every stage of a student’s life, is to develop their gifts and talents within the classroom and beyond. Nurturing confident learners who are ambitious for themselves while being attentive to the needs of others is a cornerstone of my philosophy. I believe the best education is a personalised one. One that gives every child the opportunity to explore their creativity, participate in their community, build their characters and achieve their true potential. We are ambitious, not only for our students to achieve the highest academic standards, but to be the best versions of themselves possible. At Tettenhall College, fostering the skills of leadership and teamwork in all our young learners is the key to realising their potential and aspirations. I passionately believe in encouraging a progressive, global outlook in all our students. The values and traditions of Tettenhall College serve our mission to produce young men and women who are ready for the challenges of the twenty-first century. Tettenhall College is a school community that has extended the warmest welcome to myself, my wife Victoria and our children. I warmly invite you to come and see Tettenhall College for yourself, whether this is during one of our regular Open Events or for a personal tour and meeting. I can assure you of a warm and genuine welcome and I look forward to meeting you.

Snowflake Education

London

Snowflake Education is dedicated to help universities, schools and organizations with integrating sustainability in their training and education activities. We have developed a completely new and innovative concept for teaching this complex and challenging topic: a combination of online based pre-exercises and active learning board game seminars – put together in a flipped-classroom setting. This method is now used in dozens of schools in several countries, and every year thousands of students learn sustainability with the help of Snowflake Education’s game-based approach. See method for a more in-depth description of our pedagogical method. Mission Every student should get the training and teaching they need to be able to contribute to a better world. We believe that sustainability is not only important to integrate in all education, but that sustainability is in fact the reason for why we conduct education in the first place. At the core of the concept of sustainability lies to work for a better world. And helping their students to achieve the tools to be able to do exactly that – is probably what motivates every teacher and every professor in the world to go to work every day. Therefore, finding a straightforward and effective way to integrate a sustainability perspective in any subject course should be the obvious choice for all educators. The Snowflake Education method is tailored for doing just that. Team Snowflake Education is a small start-up based in Stockholm, Sweden – but with a world-wide reach. Our small but dedicated team believes that what we do can actually play a huge role for what will happen with the world.

As Christmas approaches, many of us find ourselves wondering how best to balance our budget and sustainability consciousness with the consumerist expectations promoted through the media. And this Christmas those concerns feel as real as ever. In the wake of Covid, and with the huge challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, young people across Devon are suffering from more mental health issues than ever before. “In the last three years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%. Now, five children in a classroom of 30 are likely to have a mental health problem.” The Children’s Society Meanwhile, schools have their purse strings tightened weekly. Access to the arts is often one of the first priorities to be cut in school, even while children are known to benefit from it now, as much as ever. “I had a parent nearly in tears the next morning, as she spoke about how much her child had loved it and how it had boosted her confidence. This makes a huge difference to our families.” Assistant Head, Exeter Your donation supports Daisi’s continuing work with young people in schools and communities across Devon. From workshops in schools which offer children a practical experience with an artform they may never have previously tried, to longer projects that make a real difference to children’s lives, your contribution will help us to bring creative and inspirational experiences to children who need it. To receive your (pdf) certificate by email and sign up to Daisi’s mailing list, please complete the form below after making your donation, and before Tuesday 20 December.

Our Lady's Catholic College

We hope you find the content useful and interesting and that it gives you a flavour of the ambitious, forward-thinking, successful and happy community that is Our Lady’s. We are very proud to be a Catholic school and to be described as an outstanding one by Diocese of Lancaster. At Our Lady’s we use Blessed Oscar Romero’s quote ‘Aspire not to have more but to be more’ to encourage our students to be the best that they can be. This to me epitomises what we want for the young people of Our Lady’s. They are not just encouraged to achieve in their learning but to reach out to those less fortunate than themselves and to develop their God given gifts and talents to benefit others, as we are called to do by Christ. I am delighted that our school community is wonderfully diverse with pupils of different faiths, nationalities and abilities. We are proud to be an inclusive school and equally proud that we have been recognised as a Lancashire School of Sanctuary for our work in welcoming and caring for all our students. If you would like to come and see Our Lady's for yourself, I would be delighted to take you on a tour of the school during the working day. You would have the opportunity to see our happy, confident students and their talented and dedicated teachers in the classroom as well as hear about how our school is going from strength to strength. Please telephone Catherine Rowlands on 01524 66689 or email c.rowlands@olcc.lancs.sch.uk and we will be happy to make you an appointment.
