Education for life in all its fullness

Duke of Edinburgh Award - Bronze. On 21st and 22nd March a

group of Year 10 students took part in their assessed Bronze Duke of

Edinburgh Award, hiking through the Kent countryside in the glorious

sunshine and camping overnight. They put into practice their navigation

and camp craft skills as well as working as a team. We would like to

thank all the students that took part. We were extremely impressed by

their determination, commitment and exemplary behaviour. A huge well done to everyone that took

part. Mr Holvey, Ms Loveridge and Mrs Sullivan.

“Our D of E team worked really well together

and everyone contributed towards the day. We

checked the map every time we thought we

were going wrong which prevented us from

getting seriously lost. The weather was really

good and we all had fun. It was a good chance

to socialise with people we don’t usually talk to”

Izzy.

“It was a good trip with friends and nice weather. I

feel like I have improved my map skills over the

weekend” Leon.

“I learnt how to keep going no matter who much my brain was telling me to stop. I also put lots of effort

into each step I took to avoid being at the back. Our group was very good at keeping our spirits high. At

one point we were even singing!” Ruby.

“D of E was quite fun, we were very organised

and we always knew where we were, even if we

took a wrong turn. It was quite challenging to

carry so much for that distance but it felt very

rewarding to complete” Ross.

“During the weekend of D of E even though

it was tiring, you did learn new skills such as

teamwork, making the weekend more fun”

Gabriella.

“I found the D of E expedition a bit tiring but

great fun also. It was great for building

independence (we navigated, cooked and put up

our own tents), whilst also teamwork - we had to

agree on a route, organise food together,

encourage each other” Josh.

Duke of Edinburgh Award - Silver. During the weekend of 13th-

15th April, this group of Year 11 students successfully completed their

qualifying expedition for the Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Award at the

Ashdown Forest. They walked over 50 km over 3 days through very muddy

conditions, I was particularly impressed with the groups teamwork and

positive attitude throughout. Miss Howard.

Chaplaincy

“But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it… so that the body of Christ may be built up

until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the

whole measure of the fullness of Christ.”

Ephesians 4:7, 12-13

This week we had a fantastic talk from Dr Lattimer about humility in worship. He shared his own

experience of transformation and gave his tips for how (and why) to live a humble life, including (much to

the dismay of some of our students!) obeying your parents!

Giving thanks for:

More sunshine and opportunities to be outside

The hardworking teachers preparing students for their GCSE oral and practical exams, as well as all

the students taking them

Praying for:

Year 11 students preparing for their exams

All preparation for our sixth form opening in September

Many thanks and God bless, Alice

Lizzy Yarnold Victory Parade 2018. On Wednesday 18th

April we welcomed Lizzy Yarnold on her open bus Victory Parade,

where students from Year 7 and our Sports Ambassadors were lucky

enough to meet Lizzy and listen to her words of advice.

Congratulations to Sally Palmer and Harry Fulcher for their maturity

and enthusiasm in presenting Lizzy with a gorgeous bouquet of flowers.

The students and PE department were overwhelmed at the

opportunity of being able to hold Lizzy’s

two gold medals. Lizzy went on to explain;

“for some of you this will be a once in a

lifetime opportunity, but for those who

have passion and desire this is only the

beginning of your journey.”

Wilberforce Charity Day. Congratulations to all of Wilberforce who pulled

together for another successful house charity day, raising money for Cancer Research

UK. During a very hectic 40 minutes Wilberforce students managed to raise an

outstanding amount of just over £1,200. We would like to thank everyone who took

part or supported us for this very worthwhile cause.

Year 11 Leavers Awards Evening. Year 11 students are invited to a Leavers Awards Evening on

Thursday 12th July. To secure your child's place for the Awards evening please make payment of

£35.00 via ParentPay as soon as possible.

Notes requesting to miss PE. We have recently had an increase of requests to miss PE due to

injury or illness and would like to stress the importance to all parents that they must provide a letter

signed and dated by themselves, not the student. Students are still expected to bring their PE kit and be

fully involved with the lesson in a different capacity. Failure to do so will result in students receiving a

kit mark.
