Dear Parents
We have had an incredible start to the term. I have
been absolutely delighted with how pupils have
responded to the new uniform. I am sure you agree
they look incredibly smart and this is already having
a huge impact on behaviour, attitude and
motivation. As with all times of change there are a
few tiny points to iron out but we are determined to
ensure pupils are following our new guidance. I
thought I would share with you the comments of a
number of members of our local community – “I
would like to congratulate you on Toynbee Schools
new uniform. I think your students look incredibly
smart and do the school proud”. “My granddaughter
looks extremely smart in her uniform. It is lovely to
see pupils walking out of the school grounds with
pride with the way they look”.
The school has recently undergone a two day local
authority inspection. A significant number of lessons
were observed and the Hampshire County Council
inspectors found that 85% of lessons in the school
were good or better.
The Leadership team jointly observed with the
county representatives. We were delighted with
the depth and pace of learning and the exemplary
behaviour shown by our pupils.
I would like to thank all the staff and our wonderful
pupils for all the hard work that went into open
mornings and evenings. The school was busier than
ever and I received many positive comments about
the vibrancy of the school, the smartness of the
pupils and how impressed future parents were of
the facilities and learning. We are particularly
delighted that the County Council refurbishment of
all our Science labs is now complete and that we
have first class facilities for a department which got
the best exam results in
its history last year.
I look forward to seeing
you all at coming events
and I am extremely
excited about the PTA
Christmas Fayre on 22nd
December and the Carol
Service on 05th

Important School Information
Parent Portal
Lost Property
An apology about the Parent Portal. Whilst this is
still functioning for parents in years 8 to 11, a
planned upgrade has prevented us from rolling use
out to our Year 7 parents.
We seem to have attracted more lost property than
ever in the first month of term! Whilst we will
always return named items to their owners, an
incredible amount of new and quite valuable items
are handed in without any form of labelling.
Please help us to help you by naming as many items
of school uniform and equipment as possible.
Payments To School
When making a payment to school by cheque,
please write your child’s name, tutor group and the
activity on the reverse of the cheque. Thank you.
Alternatively, why not pay online – if you haven’t
registered your child’s pupil link code yet (or have
lost it and need a re-advice or help), please ring our
Network Manager, Steve Smith, on 02380 269026
Ext 111.
Free School Meals
May we take this opportunity to remind all parents
whose children are not currently in receipt of free
schools meals that you are now able to very simply
check your eligibility by visiting the web site:
www3.hants.gov.uk/hc3s/freeschoolmeals.htm
and then following the links that lead you to
entering your details into the online form that
appears. Your application will be given an immediate
response and if successful, the school are advised
straightaway. This is a good scheme that carries
additional benefits such as uniform grants and
concessions for Toynbee School activities.
If you would like to know more, please phone Mrs
Reeves on 02380 269026 Ext 109 who will deal with
matters confidentially with you.
A fix is being constructed and we hope to launch just
after half-term. If year 8 to 11 parents have
forgotten or lost log in details, please ring our
Network Manager, Steve Smith, on 02380 269026
Ext 111.
Voluntary Support Fund (VSF)
A huge thank-you to everyone who has made
donations to the VSF (especially parents of our new
Year 7’s who have contributed over £800 so far).
This fund receives entirely voluntary donations to
the school from any source and for any amount and
the money received helps to pay for special one-off
projects that inevitably occur during the course of a
school year.
The current fund will be used to replace two big
mirrors in the Dance Studio very shortly. If you
would like to make a donation of any amount to the
VSF (and we would stress that there is absolutely no
obligation to do so), please put a cheque payable to
Toynbee School in an envelope addressed to our
Bursar (Bob Dyer) and hand in to Reception.
Please write pupil name, tutor group and ‘VSF’ on
the back of the cheque. Unfortunately we cannot
offer online payment for this. Thank you.
Contact Details
Have you moved house, changed email address or
got a new mobile number over the summer? If so,
have you let us have the new details?
It is important that we have up to date details for
every parent / guardian in case we need to
contact you urgently. If you need to give us a
change of information or if simply wish to check
that we are holding the right details either email
[email protected] or ring Mrs Theresa
Morris on 02380 269026 Ext 110

Toynbee Achieves Silver Sporting
Kitemark.
Toynbee's excellent sporting provision across the
community, curriculum, after school clubs and
sports leadership skills development programme
has rewarded the school with a Silver Kitemark. The
Sainsbury’s School Games Kitemark is owned and
created by the Department of Culture, Media and
Sport (DCMS) and is implemented and developed by
the Youth Sport Trust.
The Kitemark rewards school for their commitment
too and the development of school sport and
competition. It was first launched in June 2012 via
the Sainsbury’s School Games website and the
Kitemark is graded gold, silver or bronze. Only a few
schools nationally have received a Gold award.
The Great Toynbee
Bake Off!
Students in Year 7, 8 and 9 have been battling it out
to see who can be ‘star baker’ in Toynbee’s version
of the very popular TV series; The Great British Bake
Off. A variety of skills and techniques will need to be
mastered in order to achieve the perfect bake! Who
will the judges pick??......

Year 7 PDL Day a great success!
On 30th September, Year 7 had their first PDL day.
PDL stands for Personal and Developmental
Learning and it allows students to both study learn
in a different way.
This year’s theme was Fair Trade and the year group
spent the morning learning about the history of the
slave trade, Human Rights, how Fair Trade works
and its importance to society.
They were then set challenges to create a mascot
and an advert that could promote the work of Fair
Trade and encourage other people to buy Fair Trade
products. Each group then had to present to their
tutor group and a winner from each tutor group
presented to a judging panel and the whole of
year 7!
The judges said that they were overwhelmed by the
work produced and the professionalism of the
presentations, but in the end the winners were Katie
Cobbett, Megan Lines, Sam Naylor and Max Haslam
from 7HW. Congratulations to them – they won
some Fair Trade products and the opportunity to
have lunch with the Senior Leadership Team to
discuss their ideas and how the school can move
forward.
Congratulations to all year 7 who were exemplary on
the day and clearly demonstrated their brilliance,
enthusiasm and creative side. Well done
Year 10 Photography Students visit
Barton Peveril’s College darkroom.
On Tuesday 25th June thirteen Year 10 Photography
students visited the darkroom at Barton Peveril 6th
Form College.
Students prepared for the trip by selecting some of
their best portrait images inverting them into
Photoshop to create paper negatives. They also
collected small personal items which reflected their
personality so they could create their own
photograms on the day. The group had already
researched Man Ray and Laszlo Moholy-Nagy in class
so were familiar with the concept of Photograms.
Students were trusted to use the tanks of chemicals
themselves and moved their work between the
developer, stop, fixer and wash. They also had the
opportunity to make some more experimental work
by spraying on developer. This was a particular
technique the students really enjoyed.
All students came away with some fantastic results
to add to their ‘Portraits, People and Personalities’
GCSE project and were able to see examples of A
Level work and ask the staff questions about
studying Photography at college.
A huge thank you to Dee and Dave at Barton Peveril
College.
Geography News!
On Monday 7th October 18 Geographers went to
the Berry Theatre to see the Hampshire premier of
TRASHED. This film highlighted the effects of our
waste on the environment and people around the
world. There were shocking examples of birth
defects in Vietnam, uncontrolled waste dumping in
Lebanon and water pollution in Indonesia
Year 7 Geographers had a visit from Giles Gooding
from Eastleigh Borough Council during the first
week of October. He talked to them about
sustainability in the local area and how the council is
commited to making Eastleigh more sustainable.
Pupils made a climate cloud pledge stating what
they will do to reduce their carbon footprint
Literacy is big news in Toynbee
Reading for pleasure
School this year!
Every week, students will be introduced to a
specific literacy focus during registration time. The
same focus will then be revisited and reinforced in
every lesson that week, right across the curriculum,
through ‘literacy moments’.
With a renewed focus on grammatical and spelling
skills in all GCSE examinations, it is more important
than ever to perfect these skills. Please discuss the
literacy focus with your child each week and test
their knowledge and skills in this area. This term we
will cover the topics detailed below, and you will find
resources linked to these areas on our website.
Autumn Half Term 1.
Back to basics – the
most common
spelling and
punctuation errors.
Autumn Half Term 2.
Understanding
sentences.
The benefits of reading for
pleasure are well
documented. Children who
read for pleasure in their
spare time perform significantly
better at school than other pupils, according to a
recent major study into children’s reading habits.
As well as the academic benefits, reading takes
children to new worlds and fires their imagination
and creativity. We are passionate about reading at
Toynbee!
All students in Years 7 and 8, as well as targeted
students in Year 9, will be enrolled onto our
Accelerated Reader scheme that

My school is an Island
On Tuesday 23rd September, four Year 9 pupils had
a fantastic day at Sea. This was their prize for
winning the Go4Set “My School is an Island”
project last term.
The ship, HMS SMITER, sailed from Portsmouth Navy
Dockyard and onto the Solent and all the way to the
Needles before heading back to Portsmouth Docks
again.
Our pupils had a go at steering the Royal Navy boat,
while having a chat with the Commanding Officer
Lieutenant, Hugo Foyer. They also witnessed a Mock
“man over board” exercise where the crew
performed a rescue of the ship’s dummy. In amongst
many Navy Protocols pupils also witnessed a war
ship salute.
Our pupils spent over four hours at sea and had a
complete tour of the ship, including the engine
room. They worked out that the whole journey used
about 700 litres of diesel which cost in excess of
£1000!
Here is part of the letter sent by the Commander, Lt
Hugo Foyer to the parents:
“Dear Sirs and Ma’ams,
Congratulations on your children winning the Best
Overall Project at the Sea Vision education awards.
I’m writing to introduce myself as the Commanding
Officer of HMS SMITER, as I’m very happy to say that
my Ship has been nominated by the First Sea Lord’s
staff to take your children to sea for the day on
Tuesday 24 September as part of their prize.
HMS SMITER is a 50 ton displacement, 20 metre long
patrol vessel based at Portsmouth Naval Base. The
Ship’s main role is to provide navigation and
seamanship training to University students from
Oxford University Royal Naval Unit. If you aren’t
aware of these units, there are 14 University Royal
Naval Units (known as ‘URNUs’) around the country,
which provide naval, leadership, and management
experiences to undergraduates at some of the
country’s most eminent universities; as well as
Oxford my Unit also counts students from the
Universities of Reading and Oxford Brookes among
its members.
Toynbee School will be in touch with the finer
logistical details, but broadly speaking my plan for
the day at sea is to greet the party on arrival at the
Naval Base in the morning and take them to the
Ship. My Executive Officer and second in command
will give the party a safety brief about what to do in
an emergency, and we’ll then sail for a tour of the
Naval Base at 10.00 am before leaving harbour and
heading west through the Solent. We’ll turn around
in time to be back in port for 3.00 pm. During the
day the party will tour the Ship and have the
opportunity to steer, act as lookout, and lots of other
things. Rest assured that we’re well used to looking
after young adults at sea, but if you do have any
questions please do not hesitate to get in touch with
me.”
Numeracy in Toynbee
This year we are looking to raise the skills of all of
our students when working with numbers.
Complementing the Literacy drive started last year,
we have a number of events and activities taking
place this year that we hope will dramatically
improve everyone’s skills in using numbers.
The big innovation this term has been the Numeracy
Challenge – 12 times tables! Every student and
member of staff has been invited to complete a 12
times table grid in as little time as possible. The only
thing is the numbers have been swapped around!
Some feedback from our pupils:
Tarran Gurtran: “It was once in a lifetime
opportunity unless I was to join the Royal Navy. This
was a great experience and it was worth the effort
we put into the My School Is an Island Project”

Patrycja Bialecka: “We learnt how experienced you
have to be to operate a Patrol Ship like that. We had
the opportunity to look around the Ship and steer it.
It is all about precision and concentration”.
‘’On our way into the Solent we passed the Spinnaker
Tower and we also managed to travel as far as the
Needles.
This trip was fun and I would do it again and again if
I could. It has totally changed my perspective of
travelling by sea.”

Students have 10 minutes to complete the grid. The
fastest three in each year group will receive a prize
after the October half term holiday. We are also
setting tutor group challenges.
Why focus on the 12 times table? One of the key
skills in working with numbers is to be able to
multiply quickly. If we can do this, dividing numbers
becomes a much easier task. This is a key life skill
and we need to improve everyone’s ability to
multiply numbers quickly.
There is a new link on the school website for Literacy
and Numeracy. Please click on this and look at the
advice, guidance, hints and tips on how you can
support your child to improve these basic life skills.
More details on presentation evenings regarding
Literacy and Numeracywill be availale soon.
T Sing
On Thursday 10 October, 25 Singers represented
Toynbee at the annual T Sing Workshop at
Thornden School. Our student joined youngsters
from Thornden, Mountbatten, Perins and Kings Fair
Oak schools. Toynbee students looked fantastic in
the new school uniform. It was also really positive
that Toynbee had so many boys at the event.
T Sing is led by Dominic Peckham, who himself, grew
up in Chandlers Ford. Dominic, studied singing at the
Royal Academy of Music, and has an established
career with the Royal Opera House. He is also a
fantastic musical educator, and is one of the four
directors of the National Youth Choir of Great
Britain.
The day started with engaging and exciting warm
ups. Dominic then spent some time speaking to the
youngsters about striving for excellence in life. This
is a key part of the way Dominic engages with young
people. After that, the music began!
We learned five songs from scratch, from a variety of
genres, including opera. Small solo parts were given
to students chosen by Dominic. For the Purcell
operatic aria, the small chamber ensemble included
Jake Arnold and Della Darvill – Year 8 pupils from
Toynbee – well done to these two.
The song of the day however was ‘Leave Me Alone’,
from The Thriller album by Michael Jackson. Matt
and Mike Gilham’s singing talents, were soon
spotted by Dominic, and these two led the whole
song with solo performances. At the afternoon
performance, this pair of superstars received
rapturous applause, and the song had to be reperformed for the encore.
There was admiration from all the other schools
about the quality of singing from Toynbee students.
Jessica Orber, who is our singing teacher, was also
there for the day, and we are indebted to her, for
the amazing job she is doing. Attending Show Chorus
each week, and, if invited – Show Case, also enables
our students to develop first class singing skills.
Dominic spoke to all the young people about the
importance of group singing, and, about how much
better it is to sing in groups than to sing individually.
If your child is not already coming to Show Chorus,
it’s not too late to join. We sing each Friday morning
starting at 8.20. We finish in time for lessons at 9.00.
Sport Awards Report
This summer saw Toynbee PE department host the
inaugural Sports Awards evening. On a sunny July
Friday evening over 250 students and parents joined
staff for an evening of celebration and recognition of
the Toynbee pupils’ sporting year.
The evening started with a BBQ put on by the
Toynbee PTA, who worked tirelessly to feed the
excited guests.
Thanks to the interior decoration skills of Miss

U16 Netball Report
The under 16 girls proved a force to be reckoned
with at the recent Hampshire County Tournament.
The girls faced some tough opposition with over 21
schools from across Hampshire attending.
It was the last tournament that this fantastic team
would attend and it was filled with excitement and
sadness that they may not play in a tournament
together again, it was this that inspired the girls to
achieve their personal best.
The girls came 2nd in their morning group stage
narrowly missing out to a very strong Bay House
side. This put them in the top group for the
afternoon stage and the team put in a valiant
performance, unfortunately the team suffered with
a number of injuries and were not able to build on
their 4th place spot last year and came in at 7th place.
The team should be congratulated on their
achievements whilst at Toynbee school they have
been league winners for the last 4 years and have
come in the top 7 at all Hampshire County
Tournaments. Not only are they loyal team mates
but great friends and a testament to how sport can
positively influence your Toynbee life. When this
team goes they will certainly be missed.
Boys Football
Girls Football
The boy’s football teams have had a very successful
start to the season. Our training night for Years 7, 8
and 9 regularly sees 80 students attending. This has
led onto some very pleasing results.
The Under 13 Girls team were in action in the
Hampshire Cup and performed superbly, defeating
Bittern Park 10-0!! Star performers were Poppy
Vallance, Chloe Perry, Lauren Mees, Anna Mees, Emily
Tucker, Lisa Gillham and Paige Morton! The girls are
looking forward to putting a strong run together in this
competition.
Having been promoted to the premier division last
year, Year 8 has won both league games to date. There
was a 7-1 destruction of Perins followed by an
excellent 2-1 win over a very strong Kings Winchester
team. This puts them top of the league as things
currently stand. Year 8 has also progressed in the
County Cup defeating Sholing 4-2 playing some
excellent football.
Year 9, under the stewardship of Mr Collins has hit the
ground running. They have defeated Perins 3-1 in the
league and Test Valley 2-1 in the Hampshire Cup.
Lewis Eades (Year 9) has been selected for the
Eastleigh and Winchester football team and played the
full game in the opening 1-1 draw against Andover.
The Under 14 and Under 16 Girls team are in action
later in the month.
Cricket
The league results are in and I am pleased to
announce that both the Under 14 and Year 7 teams
finished top of their leagues. This is a fantastic
achievement and just rewards for a lot of hard work
and some top performances! The next task for the
boys is to join a local sports club.
Girls Rugby
Toynbee are currently Hampshire under 13
champions for girl’s rugby. It has been amazing to
see over 30 girls attend training this year. Toynbee
hosted the first round of the Hampshire Central
League and entered three teams into this! For many
girls this was their first experience of competitive
rugby and Toynbee finished 1st, 3rd and 5th in the
competition. There is real talent in this team
especially from the New Year 7s. We look forward to
watching them progress this year.
Netball
The Under 13 team have been entered into the
National Cup this year. This is following their
successful season last year where they won the
District Cup and League and finished second in
Hampshire.
The girls travelled to Odiham to play a strong Robert
Mays side. I am pleased to say Toynbee triumphed
24-18 to book a second round date with St Swithuns
School.
Parent and Teacher Association (PTA)
The PTA would like to highlight the Christmas
Market which is taking place on Friday 22

PTA Projects
The PTA is currently working towards raising funds to
acquire curtains for the top part of the sports hall. One
single wall will cost between £4,500 – 5,500 making
the cost of the whole hall between £15,000 – 20,000!
That is several years of work.
Any cash donations are very welcome, payable to
Toynbee PTA to put towards this project. The PTA
would also welcome any offers of help with this
project, particularly with help with running our
fundraising events. Please don’t hesitate to contact
Bijal or Penny on the contact details provided.

Facilities To Hire
Dance Studio
There are a wide range of facilities that are available to
hire here at Toynbee.
3G Pitch
Our state of the art Floodlit 3G rubber crumb all
weather pitch looks like grass, feels like grass and plays
like grass. It is suitable for football, full contact rugby
and other multi-sport activities and is available to hire
from 17.45 till 21.45 weekdays and 09.00 till 16.00 on
Saturdays.
The pitch can be hired as a full or half pitch per hour
with removable net. Each half pitch provides groups
with 2 x 5-a-side football markings. Equipment
available on the pitch as standard includes 1 x set of
full size goals and 4 x sets of 5-a-side goals.
Half term bookings are available between 09.00 and
16.00 which is ideal for football and rugby camps,
coaching as well as birthday parties.
Sports Hall
The Main Sports Hall is marked out with Badminton
Courts, full size Netball Court, Volleyball Court, and
full size Basketball Court (with additional practise
rings) plus two cricket practise nets are available.
Tennis and Outdoor Courts
Toynbee has six newly re-surfaced tennis courts and
five netball courts which are available to hire
throughout the year. There are no floodlights
therefore facilities are only available throughout
daylight hours after 17.00 on weeknights and
between 09.00 and 16.00 on Saturdays.
The dance studio provides a smaller area than the
New Hall but still offers a great venue for Pilates and
Yoga activities. It has a fully sprung wooden floor,
wall mirrors and full length curtains, meaning that
your session can be kept confidential.

The Toynbee Theatre can seat approximately 150
people and provides an ideal location for
performances, award presentations, training and
community activities. It has a stage area, lighting
and presentation system and offers a friendly and
intimate area.
Library
Recently refurbished the Library provides a perfect
location for meetings, training and small workshops.
With Internet access at the new Interactive Zone this
is a great space for personalised learning and
teaching.
Classroom / IT Suites
Toynbee School can offer a range of classrooms for
training and learning. They are equipped with
interactive whiteboards and additional equipment
such as televisions, video and DVD players,
projectors and computers can be accessed. It is also
possible to hire the IT suites and food technology
area.
Classrooms can also be hired in conjunction with
our sports facilities for training when lectures
and practical lessons are combined.

The New Hall is a perfect location for Dance, Gym
and Martial Arts activities. It has a fully sprung
wooden floor, air conditioning, has a full mirror wall
and loads of natural light. No food or drink is
