Brockington Bulletin December 2015 Edition
Happy Christmas and best wishes for the new year to all our parents/carers and pupils.
This has been an historic term for the college, given our move to become an 11-16 school and I am very proud of the work undertaken across the
college to get us to this point in time. Working in a dynamic secondary school is exciting, but challenging and to add 11-16 preparation to everyone’s
workload has examined our resilience individually and as a college. The response from members of staff has met the high expectations of our
governors and I would like to thank them all on behalf of yourselves and your children. They certainly deserve to have a restful festive period.
Mr Chris Southall ,
Principal
I am also delighted with the response from the vast majority of our pupils. Our Year 10 cohort has made a very encouraging start to GCSE study and
pupils are responding to the high targets set for them. Where this is not the case, we have been in communication with parents/carers and have
discussed how we can work together to create a bright future for all our pupils. I would also like to congratulate all other year groups for their hard
work this term and particularly Year 7 pupils who have made a good start to life at Brockington.
On Wednesday and Thursday of the penultimate week of term, we received an inspection conducted by the Church of England. As we were
outstanding at our last inspection, we were given a five year period to the recent inspection. One inspector visited to inspect the quality of Religious
Studies; Collective Worship; Leadership and Management and Christian Distinctiveness. The verbal feedback that we received was extremely positive,
but we have to wait until the official report is received to feedback to everyone. I will forward the actual report to you in January.
Thank you for your support this term. We always appreciate your kind comments and your willingness to work with us when issues do arise.
Have a lovely time together as a family over the festive period.
School Uniform
We have become increasingly concerned about the standard of uniform worn by a minority of pupils. The issues are mainly around extremely tight fitting skirts and are mainly in Year 9 and
Year 10. We have again spoken to all pupils about this matter and we will insist upon our uniform standards being met after the holiday.
Please refer to the school website http://www.brockington.leics.sch.uk/category/parents/school-uniform/ for details of our school uniform and agreed retailers. We would expect correct
uniform items to be purchased during the holidays, for any pupil spoken to about uniform in the last week of term. Thank you in anticipation of your support.

Pupil Safety
It would be a great help to the environment and to child safety, if your
child is able to travel to and from school on foot, by cycle or by bus. If this
is not possible, we would ask you to consider car sharing and lifts by car
on limited occasions.
If you do have to pick up or drop off children, it is essential that you park
in the designated areas only and not on the perimeter of the school car
park, which obstructs others and creates danger for pupils.
Please also be very careful when driving near to or on the school premises
as we all know that children can be very unpredictable.
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 5 mph speed restriction and proceed
with caution, especially just before and after school, to ensure the safety of
our pupils as they walk along the driveway. Thank you.
Voice It
As a result of our ‘Anti-Bullying Survey’ back in 2012 we launched two
new ‘Voice It’ systems to make it easier for pupils to log concerns about
bullying, anti-social behaviour and any other concerns they may have in
and around the college. The systems have proven to be highly successful
and are used on a regular basis. To find out more, or to log a concern,
please visit http://goo.gl/j4Sl4n.

End of Term Arrangements for Pupils
School will close for the Christmas holidays at 12.30 pm on Friday 18 December 2015. The
school buses will arrive for this time and will depart at approximately 12.45 pm. Due to
the earlier finish, only cold ‘grab and go’ lunches will be available on this day. Pupils who
would like a ‘grab and go’ lunch, including those who receive free school meals, must
place their order at break time and collect their lunch as they depart at 12.30 pm.

We appreciate that the early finish may create childcare issues for some parents/carers.
Therefore, there will be the facility for any child to stay in school and be supervised until
3.10 pm, although there will be no school buses at this time. Please read the letter on the
link below and via the website and return the reply slip to the school office if you would
like to make use of this facility. For any pupils staying at school until 3.10 pm, we would
ask that they report to the library immediately after classes are dismissed and that they
order a cold ‘grab and go’ lunch or bring a packed lunch with them.

Lost Property
Items of lost property are taken to the main college reception. Named items can be
returned to the rightful owner. Lost property is now displayed outside the main college
reception at lunch times, giving pupils a daily chance to reclaim any missing items.
Parents/carers who wish to come and view lost property should telephone reception
(0116 2863722) to make arrangements to come and do so after college. Due to the
volume of lost property, anything remaining after two weeks will be donated to charity.
PE KIT
Can pupils remember to bring ALL their equipment and PE kit on the day they need it.
Telephone calls home will not be made for forgotten kits and equipment. The PE
department has some items of sports wear that pupils may borrow. Please make sure all
PE kit is named. Thank you.

Leicester Cathedral - Key Stage 2 Christmas Service
RS News
On Monday 7 December, Daisy, Charlotte, Freya, Ruby, Hallie, Mia, Lucy and myself were chosen to perform some stylised drama and a
scripted piece at Leicester Cathedral in front of school children in the Diocese. The reason for this was to understand the journey that Mary
and Joseph took in order to get to Bethlehem.
Christmas Carol Service
Brockington pupils are to attend a Carol Service at Enderby
Parish Church on Thursday 17 December. A variety of
pupils from different year groups will lead the service
alongside members of Enderby Parish Church. This year
for the first time, our pupils will be leading four services as
we now have Year 10. We will have a vocal group and
orchestra performing as well as pupils giving readings and leading prayers.
First of all, we performed a stylised piece of drama, then had some
congregational singing with Brockington singing the loudest (of course)!
The Bishop then said a few words and we performed another stylised
drama piece. After, all of the children of the Diocese had to put a piece of
paper in the pots as to where they were born, North, South, East or West.
We then performed our scripted piece of the Bethal Inn where we all
worked in an inn and Mary and Joseph visited. When we had finished
that we processioned out and stood at a shed were the manger was laid
and the Bishop said a few more words. Later, we walked to St Martins
House where we ate our lunch. I really liked it because we were doing
something different and were involved a lot in the making of the
production. By George Bryan (9R)
It is a lovely way to end such a great Autumn Term in preparation for the Christmas holidays.

Non-Uniform Day
Friday 18 December
Brockington Christmas Show
On the last day of term, for the second year in a row, there will be a Christmas Jumper NonUniform Day to help raise money for the Charity ‘Save the Children’ (a non profit Christian
humanitarian relief organisation dedicated to help alleviate the suffering of children and their
families around the world). We will split the money raised between this great charity and our
Kash4Kenya and South Africa team to assist them in their fundraising for their visit this summer.
Thank you in anticipation, to all pupils, staff and our community for supporting us on this day
and raising money for such amazing causes.
On Thursday 10 December, the Brockington Christmas show was performed by the students of Brockington College. We
had all spent a lot of time practising for the performance. We were out of lessons Thursday going over everything,
rehearsal after rehearsal. By this time, the teachers were getting VERY stressed and the students were getting tired. I was
singing as part of vocal group and performing in a drama piece. Orchestra were performing also. Periods 4 and 5 were dedicated to a
dress rehearsal. At 6.00 pm, the students arrived to rehearse one last time and then at 7.00 pm, the doors were open to the audience.
Many stalls had been set up in the courtyard to help raise money for Kash4Kenya and South Africa. A group of pupils will be travelling there
in July 2016 to help build a school and help many people. All in all, the Performing Arts Department raised £390.00 which is going towards
a new electric piano and a free standing spotlight. I had a fantastic night performing and loved it!! By George Bryan (9R)

Summer Musical - Auditions
is now available on the Brockington website and the following link
This year’s summer musical will be announced after Christmas with the audition material being released on Monday 11 January. Auditions
will take place throughout the week of Monday 25 January and we will aim to let pupils know the cast list before we break for half term.
Over the past two years we have staged ‘Annie’ and ‘Alice in Wonderland.’ This year we have selected a different musical altogether and I
am sure it will spark the interest of our actors, musicians, vocalists and dancers!

Governor Update
Literacy at Brockington
Literacy Stars for this Term:
It has been a real privilege to serve as Chair of Governors for the previous six years. I want to assure
parents/carers and pupils that the Principal, all staff and the governing body have worked tremendously
hard during this time. I have absolutely no doubt that the school will be very successful as an 11-16 school
and I would like to thank parents/carers for their support in all the changes that have been made over the
years and for their continued confidence in the school. Be assured that the governing body along with Mr
Southall and the teaching staff will work tirelessly to ensure that Brockington pupils receive the best support
to achieve excellent grades at Key Stage 4.
On a recent visit to the college to observe the safe entry of pupils into the building at the start of the school
day, I was very impressed that pupils managed to access their lockers and be in their classrooms within 10
minutes! Everything was done in a safe, controlled and orderly way and pupils waited patiently in corridors
if they could not get to their lockers immediately. This is a real credit to our Christian ethos and values of the
school in action. I am immensely proud of the calm but business like atmosphere within the school every
time I visit.
Finally, I would like to wish all pupils, staff, parents/carers and my fellow school governors a Merry
Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Fifty Book Pledge
Visit from Zoolab
Students and staff are encouraged to take part in Fifty Book Pledge, a challenge to read fifty books over the school year.
House points are awarded for books read and certificates have just been announced for those already at ten books or
more. All students that read fifty or more books by the end of the school year will enter a prize draw for a Kindle Fire.
As part of their studies on adaptation and evolution, Year 10
science students spent time looking in detail at various
animals. A company called Zoolab visited college bringing
with them a variety of invertebrates and mammals. These
included Sophie the snake, Tara the tarantula, Rita
the rat, Gail the gecko and Carla the cockroach!
The information given about how the animals survive
was fascinating and plenty of students took the
opportunity to have a cuddle!

The Clothes Show
Cambridge University
On Monday 30 November thirty Year 9 pupils in the
Most Able group this year, had the opportunity to visit
Cambridge. They spent the morning at Pembroke
College (Leicestershire’s link college). The pupils
experienced a talk and a guided tour with a current
undergraduate. Next, they spent some time exploring
the exhibits at the Whipple Museum (History of Science). The afternoon
session was spent in the Old Library at St John’s. Pupils took part in a
‘Be the Curator’ workshop. They had the chance to learn about Samuel
Butler by looking at the private collection he bequeathed to St John’s.
Pupils had to itemise and label the items before selecting five that they
felt told a story about an aspect of Butler’s life.
Pupils were a credit to themselves and the school throughout the day.
Well done Year 9s.
Mr Green
Oxford University
On Tuesday 8 December, fifteen lucky Year 9 students attended the famous ‘Christmas Lectures’ based in the Natural History Museum at Oxford
University in the company of Mr Higham and Mrs Wright. This event enabled pupils to see Maths and Science in action and the experience of
attending such a profound University.
The first talk by Dr Thomas Wooley took a humorous and energetically delivered interpretation of the mathematics behind zombies invading the
Earth and taking over humans. Despite the bizarre concept, the students were gripped by the mathematical models used to explain the diffusion
of zombies and the speed with which humans needed to travel to escape capture!
The second talk by Dr Nick Tosca examined the mineral make up of the
Martian surface of the planet Mars. The talk looked at NASA’s recent launch of
a Rover module on the planet, which cost in excess of a billion dollars. The
physics behind its launch and travel into space through a restrictive
atmosphere was examined and exclusive footage of the successful landing
was shown. The information on the mineral structure of the surface of some
of its craters and the geological significance of water once being present led
to debate and enthusiastic discussion about the potential for life on Mars.
An excellent day was had by all students who thoroughly enjoyed the
opportunity of visiting this University and experiencing the research prospects
that both Science and Mathematics hold.

How Will You Hear Me? Film Project:
Two talented young actors in Year 9, Daisy Nicholson and Andrew Moran, were
fortunate to be selected to be involved in a film project. The film project called ‘How
Will You Hear Me’ is a collection of young people’s stories, each scene concentrates
on an individual young person and their experience of interaction with a
professional, it gives some context to their life, and then the young person shares the
impact of not being heard, or not being understood, or shares insight to good
practice around youth voice. The film was premiered recently and both students
were able to go along and watch their performance on the big screen.
A huge congratulations to them both and good luck for your future projects.

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 to 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
