Founded 1841
Dear Parents
and Carers,
Once again we have a bumper
edition of our end of term
newsletter! I hope you enjoy
reading about the varied
opportunities that the
different year groups have
been involved in. All these
experiences contribute to
building character and skills
preparing our students to be
adaptable, resilient and to
have a strong sense of justice
as they embark on the world
outside school.

Gumley House School was the
first school in the borough of
Hounslow to teach Mandarin
and nationally we are one
of only 6% of state schools
teaching this language.

I want to thank you for all
your support throughout the
term and wish you and your
loved ones every blessing as
we celebrate the coming of
Christ’s birth.
May the New Year bring you
much joy!
We are delighted to announce
the IOE Confucius Classroom
accreditation in recognition of
our commitment to Mandarin
teaching.
Gumley hosts a conference for 240 6th form students from 4 schools.
Influential speakers debated their positions and views with students.

Extended Project
Qualification (EPQ)
The Electric
Shadow
Company
Student Daria Ansari-Saeid is
keen to enter the film world
post university. Earlier this
year she applied and gained
a course place with the British
Film Institute. More recently,
she was very lucky to be
offered a placement with The
Electric Shadow Company
and here talks about her
experience…..
“I read the script of the
company’s new production,
The Hippopotamus. I assisted
the Director around London
making notes while he chose
and filmed locations and then
I edited images of hippos
using Photoshop so that he
could use them to overlap the
images of the locations.
I also helped to find examples
of location shoots and
researched a film they could
screen as part of their monthly
promotion show reel linked
to the theme ‘Extraordinary
Characters’.
Both the producer and
her assistant talked to me
about the industry and their
university experience which
was really beneficial for me.
I achieved a really good
insight of the industry and it
definitely helped me narrow
down that I’d like to work in
the more practical side of
the business, directly on a
production through camera
work in cinematography
perhaps.”
BSKYB Fast Forward
Internship 2015
Once again BSKYB made
a special visit to 6th form
students to launch this
amazing scheme.
Year 12 students were also all
included in order to help them
begin to plan their future
options too.
BSKYB is offering a limited
number of internships starting
in July 2015. There are six
places available to students
in Hounslow schools offering
them a chance to work in
any one of five areas of the
TV and broadcast business from Sky Production Services,
Entertainment channel
2
portfolio, in-house creative
agency, Sky Creative, Sky News
or Sky Sports.
As BSKYB states…”Our Fast
Forward Placement offers
students a chance to gain
valuable working experience
and turn a passion for media
and entertainment into real
business skills”.
An excellent group of
our Year 13 students
completed this
submitting outstanding
5000 word research
reports. They set
themselves very critical
and interesting tasks. As
part of the assessment
requirements, each
student presented their
research to an audience
comprised of teachers,
students and friends. It
was a great celebration
of their accomplishments
and achievement. Well
done!
Anna Rutowicz said: My
EPQ title was ‘To what
extent is consumer
psychology used to
influence consumer
behaviour and
choices?’. I looked at the
relationship between the
research conducted by
consumer psychologists
and how it is used by
businesses. My research
included how genes and
environmental factors
influence behaviour, how
branding affects beliefs
and values and the
psychology of persuasion.
Chloe Spurling stated:
My title was ‘To what
extent would the
Yellowstone Caldera
pose a greater threat
to the human race
compared to past supereruptions?’ The EPQ
has developed certain
skills, which aren’t always
covered within the A level
syllabus, for example,
it develops research,
self-monitoring and time
management skills. It
also allows you to further
your understanding of
a topic area outside of
your studies that you
are interested in and
may want to study at
university
Amelia Christopher’s
topic was ‘Did the
Local Government
Act 2000 improve
decision-making and
accountability in local
government?’ She says:
I thoroughly enjoyed
the learning process
as I was strengthening
my passion for politics
throughout my journey.
Local government as
opposed to central
government or European
Parliament, forms
the “backbone of our
society”. I wanted to
explore local government
further and build upon
my two-week work
experience within
Hounslow Council.

The purpose of this conference topic was
to develop students’ understanding of the
EU and to extend their ability to debate on
multiple factors from trade to migration. The
subject this year had an additional relevance
as the majority of students will be first time
voters in the next UK election.

6th For m
Global Young Leaders Conference
- New York & Washington
A number of students gain places each year, Here is
Charlotte Gallagher-Squires’ account …
“I gained more experience from my
ten days at the GYLC than I could have
imagined.
The first week I represented the UK at
the UN Security Council. We were given
a crisis in Cyprus and had to draw up a
resolution stating the steps we believed
would be best to take, followed by a
debate. The 2nd week involved a UN
Global Summit in the United Nations
building in New York where I enjoyed
taking part in the Human Rights Council.
We also attended a number of
inspirational talks which included
Student
chooses study
tour in China
Ciara Kavanagh is one sixth form pupil
who lived with a family for two weeks in
the city of Hangzhou, while taking four
hours of one-on-one tuition each day.
She says: “Following exams last year
we were given four weeks where we
could take on work experience. I
was already looking into a degree in
Chinese so I thought that some time in
China would be beneficial. “Realising
that my reading and writing skills
were far stronger than my speaking
and listening, we decided to focus on
the latter. Although it was
hard to communicate in
the beginning I think
my language skills
definitely improved
and I managed to
learn a more natural
style of speaking.
This trip definitely
made me want
to embark on
a degree in
Chinese.”

Kurshida Begum’s experience as a human
trafficking survivor and Dave Butler on
his journey from teaching, to setting
up and running the Safe Haven Project
for young people with HIV/AIDS. His
encouragement not to limit ourselves in
terms of our goals is something that I am
now applying to my own life.”
To compliment all the hard work I had
the opportunity to visit a number of
tourist attractions in both Washington
and New York such as the Martin Luther
King Memorial, the Holocaust Museum
and the Museum of Modern Art.
Nuffield Research Placement at
the Mullard Space Laboratory
in Surrey
Modelling neutral-plasma chemistry in the Io torus at Jupiter
Sixth form student, Christine Thorogood
describes this extraordinary experience:
“Over the summer I took part in a 4
week research placement in association
with the Nuffield Foundation. My
project location was in the planetary
department in the Mullard Space
Science Laboratory in Surrey where
I was supervised by Dr. Christopher
Arridge. We devised and tested a
computer model using data obtained
by NASA’s Voyager and Cassini missions
to compare the relationship between
the volcanic activity of Jupiter’s moon
Io and the ratios of the consequent
sulphur and oxygen ions inside the Io
plasma torus.
At the end of the project I presented my
research to PhD students and Professors
from all departments. I attended
numerous talks and tours of the
laboratories, including Dr. Geraint Jones
who is currently working on the Rosetta
Mission; landing the Philae space probe
on Comet 67P.
I had an amazing time at MSSL and
it really helped confirm my love for
physics and ambition to become a
researcher. I attended a celebration
event in November where I met all the
other Nuffield students in my region
which was great to hear
all the successful and
diverse projects. I
would recommend
the Nuffield research
placements to
anyone hoping to
study science,
mathematics
or engineering
in the future. “
Oxbridge &
Medicine
Interview
Preparation
Day
Students who have applied
to attend highly competitive
universities and courses were
invited to attend an interview
preparation day in London.
The day was hosted by
admissions tutors; graduates
and communication specialists
for sessions which helped them
prepare for and participate
in mock interviews. A very
challenging day!
Students said of their
experience:
Siobhan Cabble: Overall,
I found the day incredibly
challenging but ultimately
invaluable as it provided me
with a starting point for the
skills that I can further develop
on my own in the course up to
my interview.
Gabriella Rutzler: I found
myself being challenged in the
practice interviews to think at
a higher level and also enjoyed
discussing and debating with
other A-Level students about
each other’s areas of interest.
Joanna Lada: I certainly
feel much more confident
now about how to tackle
any interview, the two mock
interviews we had, although
intimidating, showed us what
to expect at an interview and
were a brilliant opportunity to
practice our new skills!
First Aid
Training
When a group of us, sixth formers, entered
the common room to begin our training
in First Aid with St John Ambulance, our
knowledge about incident management,
cardio pulmonary resuscitation and how
to manage bleeding wounds were limited;
however, three hours (and many acronyms
such as DELTA and AMEGA) later, we felt
fully prepared to deal with emergency
situations. We realised that being trained
in First Aid is an essential life skill, that
provides people with the ability to be
effective, safe and prompt in emergencies.
First Aid training offers people the ability
to potentially save lives, as First Aiders are
often the first to attend casualties, before
the paramedics arrive. Following the course,
precisely twenty four hours later, two of
us had already put our skills into practice.
When another sixth former had a nose
bleed, Anna and Sabrina knew exactly how
to assist her. “We immediately remembered
what Mark taught us about the positions
you have to be in when you experience
bleeding in different regions of the body.
We quickly told her to tilt her head down
and we closed the tip of her nose
to form a blood clot. We supplied her with
tissues and soon the nosebleed
stopped. We were glad we knew what to
do, as before the course we would have
just let her tilt her head up, which is
actually the wrong thing to do.”

Nicole Rayment: I also learnt
the admissions tutor is trying
to test our thinking skills when
stripped back from all that we
know, whilst analysing how we
think on the spot.
Mary Gregory: Overall, the
whole experience was highly
helpful and provided us
with a good insight on what
to expect at our very own
interviews.

6th For m
Lourdes 2014: Putting our
FCJ values into action
We are all very proud of our
21 sixth form students who
volunteered to spend a week
on the Westminster diocesan
pilgrimage to Lourdes in order
to care for the sick and elderly
and to make the pilgrimage run
smoothly. Throughout the week
long pilgrimage, the students
and staff from Gumley worked
hard at putting our FCJ values
into action. We all served as
‘Red Caps’ and the people we
looked after and spent time with
are known as ‘malades’. Taking
part on the pilgrimage had a
deep impact on all our students.
Due to limitations in space only
a selection of reflections and
comments from our students
can be included here:
Esme Soiza: “I was very
privileged to be helping a lovely
elderly lady called Christina as
my malade for 3 of the 5 days.
This made our relationship
very special to me as she
was extremely appreciative
of our help and company.
Both Christina and the other
malades were a huge part of
our experience, making it more
rewarding than we had ever
hoped. I particularly enjoyed the
candle light processions in the
Rosary Esplanade because of the
spiritual unity and atmosphere
of people altogether from
different countries and cultures,
all with the same intention: to
pray.
6
Sinead O’Rourke: “In Lourdes
I got an insight into what life
is like for the sick and elderly.
Throughout the week we were
able to build strong bonds and
relationships with these people;
to go from being strangers to
being friends in such a short
space of time was very special.
Knowing that I was making such
a difference to them and helping
them in every way that I could
was a great feeling, and seeing
the happiness they got from
that was truly humbling.”
Helena Smyth: “When I went
to visit the Grotto with a
malade, she became tearful
and revealed that she never
thought that she would make it
to Lourdes. Needless to say, this
profound statement weighed
heavily on my mind; how many
other people never thought
that they would make it there?
The number, I knew, would be
uncountable but the miracle is
that they did make it there.”
Eleanor Godwin: “Going to
Lourdes was one of the most
rewarding, enriching and
challenging experiences of
my life. Spending time with
the malades and getting to
know them as individuals was
probably the best part of the
whole experience for me. Not
only did I get to know many of
the elderly, I also became good
friends with the other Red Caps,
especially those from Gumley, St
Marks and Nicholas Breakspear.”
Summer
Schools - offers
to our students
continue to grow
Student Joanna Lada
Many students attended
summer schools & taster days
across the country. Students
give their views:
Over the summer, 3 of our
sixth form students had the
incredible opportunity to have
an overnight stay at Homerton
College, Cambridge. Their
experience included a campus
tour, lectures and tutorials in
either Arts & Humanities or
Science based subjects and
the opportunity to experience
college life.
Rachel Scott “I enjoyed being
introduced to a wide range
of subjects that I wouldn’t
normally even consider and
the summer school gave me
the opportunity to explore
Cambridge and all its different
colleges which I hadn’t had a
chance to see before.”
Heather Brown commented:
“It was interesting with a range
of subject talks being offered
which allowed me to explore
other subjects as well as my
own. I have a much clearer
picture of what it is like to study
at one of the top universities.”
Anna Rutowicz: Psychology at
London Metropolitan University
said:
“I got a real insight into what
Psychology is like at university
we attended lectures every
day and learned about new
topics which are not covered
at A-Level. On the last day we
had a graduation ceremony we
were certificated and presented
what we learnt throughout the
whole week.”
Sophia Thompson: “I
particularly enjoyed learning
about different jobs,
approaches, experiments,
the developmental stages,
psychopaths in the work
place and addiction. It was a
useful experience and I would
recommend it to everyone”
Imperial Vision Senior
Conference (Medicine) Chiara Vedi: “The Vision
Senior conference’s speakers
were extremely inspirational
and excellent role models. The
mock interviews were initially
a source of apprehension for
me, but I am glad to have had
the opportunity to articulate
answers to key questions and
received constructive criticism,
because the process is no
longer as unknown (nor scary)
to me.”
International Summer School
for Young Physicists at the
Perimeter Institute in Canada
Joanna Lada, currently in
year 13, had an incredible
opportunity to attend the
International Summer School
for Young Physicists in Canada
over the summer. She was
one of only 20 international
students who attended the
conference. Joanna gained
from fascinating lectures in
quantum mechanics, special
and general relativity, and
cosmology, and even ventured
into the compelling world
of quantum field theory. A
highlight was the mentoring
session in which she worked
with four other ISSYP
participants and a PhD student
to derive the force between two
parallel plates in a vacuum (the
Casimir effect), which stretched
into and beyond a physics
degree!
She says of her experience:
“Apart from being an
intellectually stimulating
experience, ISSYP was also
enriching in many other ways.
Getting to meet other students
from all over the globe and
learning about their cultures
was a truly unique experience,
and I have made so many
life-long friends in the space
of two weeks. The physics was
also interspersed with several
outings, including to the
Sudbury Neutrino Observatory
(which involved a trek down
an active mine), the Institute
for Quantum Computing and
Niagara Falls!
ISSYP was truly an incredible
experience that I will never
forget.”
International Day of the Girl
Conference, Southbank Centre
For the 4th year our 6th form
students have been invited to this
amazing Women of the World
conference. The day kicked off with a
London Eye mentoring session with
12 high profile women.
Workshops in the afternoon
addressed discussions and activities
on a range of issues, but now over to
budding journalist Eleanor Duce for
her first-hand experience, edited from
her article for the local Guardian’s
Young Reporter scheme.
‘Girl Power! (EVENT)
Coincidentally, this was the day that the
world received the news that one of the
most influential and inspirational young
women, Malala Yousafzai, had won the
Nobel Peace Prize. Throughout the day there
were many activities with strong emphasis
on empowering women and girls throughout
the world and spreading the important
message that all females should be
encouraged to strive to reach for the stars the main theme of the day being ‘Speak Up’.

Science
GSK Work Experience
GSK offered 5 students across Years 11 &
12 a very exciting 3 day work experience
placement in the autumn half term.
Students had to apply for these positions.
The objective of the Molecule to Market
workshop was to inspire students studying
science to further their knowledge, to
explore a career in science and to look
at the possibilities of working within this
sector.
Additionally, students received a bronze
accreditation as part of the Industrial
Cadet programme.
Maria Gabriel “We had amazing,
informative talks from professionals
working in GSK’s different departments
that ranged from drug discovery to
clinical trials and to marketing. This
helped us further our understanding of
how developing drugs to help patients is
really a team effort”.
Claudia Campo –Rodriguez “The GSK
work experience has been mind opening
to the amount of opportunities and
career options there are out there for
me. Before coming into GSK I wanted to
study and work in chemical engineering
but after hearing presentations from
professionals I realised there were many
other degrees like biochemistry that really
interested me”.
Meredith Webb “I found GSK a
thoroughly enjoyable experience. I knew
I was aiming for a career in science
however after the course I also have
more direction as during the ‘Molecules to
Market’ course I discovered an interest in
clinical trials.”
Evija Romanova “GSK was an extremely
useful 3 day course that revealed
the diversity of the healthcare and
pharmaceutical industry. The talks
helped me to get an insight of each
profession for example the regulatory
affairs work; how information is presented
and analysed which led me afterwards
to research the specific courses at
universities linked to this field”
Imperial College Techno-entrepreneurship Project

Even Hurricane Gonzalo can’t

Geog ra phy
Year 9 Geographers enjoyed their fieldtrip to Selsey, West Sussex in
October just as the tail end of Hurricane Gonzalo was battering the UK
coastline. The aim of the fieldtrip was to investigate how well this stretch
of vulnerable coastline is being protected from the sea so it was really
useful to see the full force of the waves and the wind on the beach. We
were also able to see the newly operational ‘managed retreat’ scheme
behind the Medmerry caravan park. This Environment Agency coastal
defence scheme hopes to prevent erosion in a sustainable way for the next
50 years. Maybe some of the current year 9’s children and grandchildren
will be able to come back and see how successful it is in the long term!

Our school achieves “IOE
Confucius Classroom”
accreditation
Continued from front page
We are delighted to announce the IOE Confucius Classroom
accreditation in recognition of our commitment to Mandarin
teaching.
Confucius Classroom: The Institute of Education Confucius
Institute (IOE CI) is a bilateral project with Peking University
and Peking University High School and supported by the Office
of Chinese Language Council International, Hanban.
Vision and Innovation: We identified early on that our
students needed to be prepared for the global and economic
changes taking place in the world and embedded Chinese
within our curriculum in 2008.
Leading the way: Gumley was the first school in the borough of
Hounslow to teach Mandarin and nationally we are one of only
6% of state schools teaching this language
Extending Innovative Learning: Primary School Partnerships:
One of our key objectives starting in the 2015-2016 academic
year is to provide teaching support to embed Mandarin
learning into local primary schools.
Starting in Year 7 through to A Level our students receive a
committed Chinese academic linguistic and cultural learning
path supported through a range of on-going initiatives from:a
bi-annual educational and cultural trip to Beijing to video
conferences
Students at Gumley House School can learn one of 3
languages in Year 7 and from Year 8 many are able to increase
this to 2 additional languages.
We will keep you updated of our plans & please look on the
front page of our website for recent press coverage too.
Chinese Teachers’

Jasmin Perreira “Learning about the
culture and their different ways of life
was really interesting. Meeting the
Chinese locals, a student’s family in
their home and the new people from
other schools broadened my way of
thinking.” Meredith Webb “It was a great
opportunity to extend our knowledge
of the language by attending Chinese
classes in Yucai High School, Shenyang;
we also enrolled in many other new
and exciting lessons such as traditional
flute playing, calligraphy classes and
tai chi lessons”.
Tofumni Omisore “The China trip is
not only one of the most memorable parts of my time at Gumley but by far
the most beneficial. From attempt to
master the challenges of the Chinese
culture and language, crossing their
roads to climbing the Great Wall.”
Georgia Kellett “It was cool to see the
Chinese culture and how people lived.
It was a really eye-opening experience
and I loved climbing the Great Wall
and visiting so many attractions.”
Welcome to St. Mary’s University’s PGCE Students

Sadly we cannot have all of the 27
students, but we are delighted that
one of them will be

International partnerships St. Andrew’s Junior Colllege, Singapore
For the 5th year we have welcomed the sixth
form students and teaching staff from St.
Andrew’s College in Singapore.
Both St. Andrew’s and Gumley students
collaborated across a very broad range of
subjects to develop joint curriculum learning
with our 6th formers. Staff members worked
incredibly hard to create a
comprehensive programme to
ensure they were fully integrated
in each lesson.
followed by a wonderful poetry recital prepared
by St. Andrew’s, addressing tensions arising
from modernisation and the erosion of culture
and traditions. The cultural workshop enabled
both sets of students to explore the similarities
and differences between our two cultures as
well as further developing their friendships
through working with their Gumley peers.
A key aim for St. Andrew’s
students is that in addition to
gaining an experience in our school
of similar subjects they study such as
English, Physics, History, & Geography for
them to also experience other subjects that do
not form part of their curriculum in Singapore
hence; they gained a real insight into
Government & Politics, Psychology, Sociology,
Photography & Drama also. Our English
Literature students presented a comprehensive

Malaga - Immersion trip July 2014
Year 10 and 11 students enjoyed a taste
of la vida española at the end of the last
summer term spending five days in the
sunshine of Andalucía.
Students stayed in Spanish families in
Benalmadena near Malaga and took part
in lessons at the International School of
Languages Maravillas in Benalmadena.
All lessons and activities were in Spanish
enabling students to develop their
proficiency in understanding the language
in more contextual and authentic situations.
One special lesson was a paella cooking
session where students also stepped in to
help prepare the traditional dish with a
Spanish chef.
Students visited the city of Granada, the
amazing Alcazaba in the old town built
by the Hammudid dynasty as well as an
excursion to the traditional village of Mijas
where our girls enjoyed a donkey ride or just
a relaxing time, we were accompanied by
our Spanish Assistant who joined us for the
day.

In Malaga, one of the highlights
was the beautiful Picasso museum
featuring a display of his life’s work.
This journey represented the culture
and life of Southern Spain and it
certainly helped our students to
extend their linguistic and cultural
knowledge and their personal
development.
It was a pleasure to see the
students grow and mature
throughout the week and also
embrace the Spanish culture
from local fiestas with the
locals to water sports at the
local beach, it was a fantastic
experience.

Thorpe Park: The year started well with last year’s
house group winners the Fs going on their welldeserved trip to Thorpe Park just before the half term
holidays. All girls had a fantastic day really enjoying
all the rollercoasters and the chance to socialise with
their house group. Congratulations again to the Fs.
£562.42 was raised for the Missing Persons charity
on our 1st charity day of the year. Year 7 students
had a cupcake bake off and there were lots of very
good entries but the winners were: Tilly Downes with
her Poppy Cake entries & Amy Wilkinson with her
Missing People cake entry.
All the cakes were then sold to help raise money.
Lots of girls wore a yellow item for the day.
The BIG event was the male teacher leg waxing, over
500 girls came to watch and support a fantastic turn
out!
For the Christmas Charity day, there were lots of
activities. Updates and photos will be publicised in
the New Year.
Christmas Bazaar
Many thanks to all those who attended and gave generously to
our Christmas Bazaar, especially our Gospel choir, who gave a
wonderful performance.
There were a great variety of new ideas this year, from Polish
cuisine, French creperie, to the best selling chocolate tom-bola
& Christmas cracker stalls. Santa was busy and added some
festive cheer to the event. Strong arms were needed to pick up
“The weigh the cake”, which came in at a staggering 4 kilos!
The Bazaar raised a staggering £3,211, and the finale was of
course our grand draw. Many congratulations to the winners,
and a huge thank you to all those who contributed to it. The
efforts of the year 7 pupils & parents were quite spectacular,
and we raised a further £3,841! An all time high.
So our combined total was £7,052!
Heartfelt thanks,

Aim Higher
Speakout Challenge
During November, 24 Year 10
students participated in the Jack
Petchey Speak Out Challenge
aimed at providing the training
and skills needed for successful
public speaking. Throughout
the day, the girls were taught
the necessary skills to help with
giving speeches and were involved
in a number of ‘mini’ speech
competitions and discussions
where they practised their
new skills. It was a thoroughly
enjoyable experience, despite
some nerves, as they worked with
a dynamic trainer. We are looking
forward to the upcoming Speak
Out Finals! Well done girls.
Students who participated said
about the day:
Annabel: “It was probably one
of the greatest opportunities
I’ve been given, I now have the
confidence and skills not to be
afraid of speaking in public. “
Michelle: “A really fun day, full of
activities. It honestly helped me.”
Jordan: “It really helped me to
develop skills I’d never even heard
of before. Very inspiring and
motivating.”

Speakout Challenge
September:
Barbican Trip: The academic year began with a
trip to the Barbican for GCSE students to hear the
London Schools Symphony Orchestra. This was a
great opportunity to hear and see a live orchestra - a
very different experience to hearing one on a CD!
October:
The Chamber Choir impressed parents
in the assembly hall while Year 10 & Year
11 busking groups entertained visitors as
they toured the school on Open Evening.
‘Stomp’ Theatre trip: The Year 8
trip to see the fabulous West End
production of ‘Stomp’ left the girls
inspired to create their own rhythmic
performances in class!
Curriculum Extension Days: These
were led by Gospel Singer Dan Swana.
The girls learned two songs which they performed beautifully at the Black
History Celebration.
Black History Celebration Evening: The Staff Choir also performed at the Black
History Celebration along with the Year 10 GCSE students who had composed
their own African style ensemble piece.
September:
GCSE Showcase Concert:
The overall standard of
performances from Year
10 & Year 11 students was
both impressive and an
invaluable opportunity for
the girls to practise for their
GCSE performance exams.
Charity Concert: A small
group from the Chamber
Choir sang in a Charity
Concert at the beautiful St.
Andrew’s United Reformed
Church in Ealing to raise
money for the Alzheimer’s
Society.
Wicked trip: The Year 9
students had the exciting
experience of seeing
the spectacular musical
‘Wicked’. GCSE students
study the musical as part
of their course therefore
this was a particularly
appropriate trip for those
intending to go on to study
GCSE Music.
December:
included lots of singing from our
Year 7s, there were many examples
of compositions and performances
produced in class and many excellent
performances from Gumley’s
numerous and ever- improving
ensembles!
New…Keyboard Club – Our A level student, Heather Brown, launched the popular Keyboard Club this term, for members
of Key Stage 3, which means girls can practise their favourite tunes with her help.

Round-up
The Hills Were Alive at Gumley!
What a triumphant week we had with
our production of The Sound of Music!
The audience rose to their feet as one
at the end of every show, delighted and
profoundly moved by the creative endeavour
and talent of our company of Year 7 to
11s. The orchestra was outstanding as it
played through the full score. Our costume
makers and set dressers did an exemplary
job of creating the world of Strasbourg
during World War II that added to the
professionalism of the whole production.
It was everything we could have hoped it
would be and more.
Black History Celebration
On 23rd October, we brought the half term
to an end with our annual Black History
celebration evening. The show had 200 girls
performing in a varied programme of song,
18
dance, poetry, speeches and drama.
Our theme for this year was Girls
Arise! Empowering Girls. The show
reflected this theme as girls of all
ages took to the stage with courage,
confidence and verve. Acts were
interspersed with inspiring words of
Malala Yousefzai, Maya Angelou and
Nelson Mandela. Subjects across the
school acknowledged Black History
Month through teaching and learning
in October. Work displayed during
the event included Year 8 poetry and
biographical tapestries inspired by
West African textile artists.
Shakespeare Schools Festival 2014
We were proud to be part of this
year’s Shakespeare Schools Festival
as this national event celebrated the
450th anniversary of Shakespeare’s
birth. Our Senior Drama Club entered
The Winter’s Tale, a beautiful and
sad tale of injustice and young love
overcoming old prejudices. Our
cast of twenty three girls delivered
Shakespeare’s language with clarity
and understanding, captivating the
large audience at The Waterman’s
Theatre. There will be an opportunity
to see this piece again at next term’s
Drama festival on 29th January.
Theatre Trips
As ever, theatre trips are a strong
feature of Drama at Gumley. Our aim,
as a department, is to offer as many
students as possible opportunities to
be inspired by London’s world class
theatre.
In September, Theatre Centre’s
latest production: Muddy Choir by
Jesse Britton, came into school.
This new play for young people was
commissioned to be part of the one
hundred year commemoration of
World War I. Set in the trenches in
Flanders in 1917; it features three
young recruits from Sunderland whose
resilience, loyalty and friendship are
challenged to their limits. Our GCSE
Drama girls were very moved by the
power of this play and gained insight
into the plight and fate of soldiers in
that devastating war.
We took Year 13 to the Almeida to
see Alecky Blythe’s Little Revolution.
This was a verbatim piece set in the
London Riots of 2011 and placed the
playwright and the citizens caught
up in the riots at the heart of this
discursive play, showing divergent
perspectives on the events of those
hot August nights that saw parts
of London on fire and in chaos. It
inspired our Yr13’s own verbatim piece
of theatre.
is remains top secret. Suffice it to say,
costumes are being dusted off, wigs
are being donned and spectacular
transformations will take place. Oh,
yes they will!
Thank you as always for your support
of the creative arts at Gumley, and
in helping us to provide your children
with enriching and life-changing
experiences.
On 14th October, we took fifty Year
10 to 13 students, by tube (!), to see
‘The Scottsboro Boys’, a new musical
by Kander and Ebb of Chicago and
Cabaret fame. This show profoundly
affected the girls. They learnt
about truth, justice and sticking to
your principles. They were by turns
laughing, cheering and weeping as we
watched the true story of nine young
Black men’s lives destroyed by the
(in)justice system of 1930s southern
America. The show is a roller-coaster
ride full of spectacular dances and
songs. It is a must-see production and
at the Garrick until February and it has
just won Best Musical at the Evening
Standard Theatre Awards.
In December, we took Year 10 GCSE
Drama students to an exciting
immersive theatre production of an
adaptation of Phillip Pullman’s Grimm
Tales. Performed over five floor of the
Bargehouse space of the OXO Tower
Warf, this production proved to be an
unforgettable experience.
The English and Drama departments
have also collaborated to take
the whole of year 8 students
out to see the Royal Opera House’s
production of ‘The Wind in the
Willows’ choreographed by Will
Tuckett, in its West End transfer at the
Vaudeville Theatre. This celebrated
production was a wonderful Christmas
treat for our girls.
And finally, Gumley staff will be
treading the boards of our school

The Big Leap
How do you begin to identify your strengths, improve
your communication skills, explore the type of careers
that would best appeal to your interests, better prepare
for interviews and get an insight into what recruiters are
searching for in candidates?
These were some of the career planning challenges all
year 10 students explored as part of the The Big Leap,
a programme created and delivered by recruitment
consultant Charlie Ryan to improve students’ selfawareness, employability skills and competencies.
As a result of this coaching, students stated a big leap
in “feeling more confident and prepared in entering the
world of work”.
The Guardian - Young Reporter Of The Year
Launches in our school for the 6th Year!
Diana Jarvis, journalist for the local Guardian who heads up this
exciting initiative, presented certificates of recognition to last
year’s budding reporters and launched the 2014-2015 scheme
to all students in Years 10-12.
In addition to the written communication skills students hone
research & investigative skills as they identify a local community
news story they wish to investigate and report on.
Experiencing real life employment circumstances as they work
within a clear framework of criteria stipulated by the paper
including meeting regular deadlines, they also get to see their
names in a public domain as each article is uploaded monthly
on to The Guardian’s website.
