CTC Kingshurst Academy’s Official Termly Magazine

Message from Damon Hewson, Principal

It’s hard to believe that as I write this, my third Inside Out message, we’ve already come to the end of another year. In reflecting on what has been an eventful first year as Principal, what has constantly been evident to me is the breadth and depth of experiences that are not only available at the academy but that our students actively choose to participate in on such a consistent basis; it is in this enthusiasm and willingness to involve themselves in a whole range of activities that our students should be very proud.

Having personally attended the event on the 1st July this year, I am particularly proud of the academy’s role in the 100th commemoration of the Battle of the Somme with Solihull MBC and I look forward to schools and the local community benefitting from our Arthur Vickers VC trench and the OEAC in the future.

I would like to pay tribute to our Year 13 IB students who have achieved considerable success in their course; with a record-beating average IB points score of 31, the highest in the academy’s entire history, the cohort has much themselves to be proud of and I wish them every success in the future. Good luck also to our Year 11 students who await their results in August.

Thanks, as always, to Lee Fletcher and Mark Bragg for their hard work in providing our termly update and thanks to all of you, our students, parents and carers, for your continued efforts and support. I’d like to extend to you all my very best wishes for a happy and relaxing summer break and look forward to seeing you in the autumn term.

ISSUE 43July 2016

Record Breaking Post-16 Results!Wednesday 6th July welcomed IB results day for our Year 13 students; a very nervous but joyous time. This year’s IB students have gone above and beyond with what they have accomplished throughout their two year course, which has certainly helped them achieve very remarkable results. With an average point score of 31 IB points, eclipsing that of any other average IB point score in the Academy’s 26 year history, to say we are proud of our student’s results would be an understatement.This point score is equivalent to some 413 UCAS points, that when equated to traditional A-levels, would be broadly equivalent to achieving just over ‘A*A*A’.Whilst many students broke the 30 IB points barrier, the top achievement in the IB Diploma this year was 39 points, a simply astounding achievement, and one that deservedly receives 589 UCAS points in recognition of strong performance that, again, would equate to approximately four A-levels, with a profile of ‘A*A*A*A*’!A delighted Head of Post-16, John Bowers, said, “The considerable accolade of ‘highest average IB point score’ ever goes to the 2014-2016 cohort. The CTC Kingshurst Academy has proudly run the IB Diploma for more than a quarter of a century, and clearly experience counts! Congratulations to all of our IB students once again for their respective achievements and as ever, I would also like to pay tribute to the considerable time, effort, energy, intervention and support that IB faculty members have committed to students over the course of the last two years.” (continued on page 2)

Tennis Leaders meet Wimbledon hero Marcus Willis to promote launch of CTC Kingshurst Academy Tennis Hub

CTC Kingshurst Academy and the Lawn Tennis Association are working in partnership to bring tennis to the academy and the wider community. The goal is to transform tennis, a non-existent sport in this area, to a sport that is at the heart of the community for all ages and abilities.CTC Kingshurst Academy Tennis Leaders met Wimbledon hero Marcus Willis to help promote the launch of CTC Kingshurst Academy Tennis Hub. The students were all very excited and made sure they took lots of photos with Marcus. (continued on page 3)

2 InsideOut July 2016

(continued from page 1) Laurie-Anne Kinsella, who achieved the incredible feat of 39 points, was ecstatic with her results and stated, “Without the support and guidance from teachers she wouldn’t have excelled and achieved as much as she has in the last two years.” Even her mother said, “I can’t fault the school or what they have done for my daughter over the years. The amount of opportunities the school has given her, from maths challenges in Year 7 to Zambia in Post-16, have allowed her to develop and become the remarkable young woman she is now.”

All the students are immensely proud of their achievements, whether it’s gaining the diploma or being able to continue onto university and their respective apprenticeships. Many have already accepted places for University; some very local such, as Lucy Quirk and Bradley Hemming who have been accepted by The University of Birmingham. Others are as far afield as Bangor University in Wales.

Good Luck to all in your next phase of life!

CTC Media TrainingFor the past six weeks at CTC, six students have attended a Tennis Social Media training course. Our media teacher, Theo Thompson, has taught us all the skills we need to become a top journalist.

For the first two weeks, we learnt how the internet works and how companies make their money. For example, we looked at how Facebook connects with their audiences and focused on the recently new ‘reaction emoji’s’ and how this is efficient.

Over the last four weeks, Theo has taught us how to film and edit videos. We have incorporated our skills into making a documentary on school trips to The Aegon Classic, Wimbledon and most recently the 2016 Solihull School Games.

This has been a great experience for all six of us. It has made us think about the internet in a different light and also rethink our futures. Consequently, I have now changed my option to media for GCSE next year.

I would highly recommend media as a subject as it really does bring out your emotions and definitely your fun side!

Be Safe!When travelling to and from school, please remember the following advice to keep you safe: • Never go off on your own with a stranger, take things from them or get in a car with them. • Make sure you tell your parents where you are.

• If someone scares you or makes you feel uncomfortable, go somewhere safe. This could be your home, your school or a police station.• Remember to tell someone what has happened straight away.• Always dial 999 in an emergency.

Battle of the Somme commemorative event – 1st July 2016

On the 1st July, we welcomed participants in service to a commemorative event honouring those involved in the Battle of the Somme, on the 100th Anniversary of the event. In keeping with ‘Lest We Forget’, it is important to remember those who were lost during the First World War and this beautiful service accomplished this. Many people attended the event, including Deputy Lieutenant of the West Midlands, Tim Watts, The Mayor and Mayoress

of Solihull and The Right Honourable Caroline Spelman MP, among others. Additionally, representatives from the Faiths Forum, Ken Russell from the Royal British Legion, the bugler and standard bearers, and others to the service were present at the ceremony.The service included readings and poems from our own students at CTC Kingshurst Academy, a hymn (‘I Vow to the Thee My Country’) and a performance of the song ‘Keep

the Home Fires Burning’ by Will Odling. Several wreathes were laid by guests and 24 poppies, selected by guests, to commemorate the local men who died on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Members of the Faith Forum read prayers for the fallen and all who attended participated in a minute’s silence as well as the singing of the National Anthem. Afterwards, guests were invited to see the World War I exhibition, including a tour of our replica trenches.


ALUMNI The CTC is a happy and vibrant community which for twenty two years has been helping equip students with the confidence and skills to succeed in adulthood and play a positive role in society. We are an innovative, outward looking school responding to the changing needs of our students in order to help your child enjoy their learning and achieve their potential. Ashleigh

WoodallYears spent at the college:2006-2013

International Baccalaureate

Hello! My name is Ashleigh Woodall and I am an ex-student of the CTC. I started at the CTC in Year 7 and then stayed on to do the International Baccalaureate at Post-16 level. I really enjoyed my time as a student at CTC and found the IB extremely helpful in securing me a place at university. The IB taught me how to manage multiple deadlines efficiently, how to independently organise my work load, how to reference correctly and it also provided me with plenty of opportunities to engage in extra-curricular activities, which universities really like to see on your UCAS application. I also made a great bunch of friends whilst on the IB course and I am still in contact with them all now!After completing the IB, I was accepted into Aston University to study a BSc Honours Degree in Psychology. The IB set me up really well for university and I have just graduated with a First Class Honours Degree, achieving the highest overall mark in three of my modules during my time at Aston University. I am now currently working in my first full time job as an “Onsite Contract Consultant” for Manpower at Jaguar Land Rover. My job role involves spending a lot of time on the shop floor in the factory at Jaguar Land Rover and I manage the people who work for Manpower. The day-to-day tasks I do vary greatly

from conducting a return to work with someone who has been absent, to conducting large scale investigations into various issues with the employees. These issues can be related to things such as misconduct, the quality of their work and grievances that people may raise. I am really enjoying my job as no day is the same and I am always learning something new which keeps the job entertaining!The CTC has really allowed me to progress and develop as an individual and achieve the educational goals I have aspired to. Consequently, I am now in a professional job which I really enjoy and which I can continue to develop in. My advice to any current students would be to really make the most out of your time at CTC. Get involved in as much as you can, study as hard as you can, seek help whenever you are unsure of something, build good relationships with other students and staff and also enjoy what you do. If you are anything like me, I found it really difficult to decide what to do at college and at university, so I chose topics I enjoyed and ended up with a first class degree! Whatever you set your mind to doing, you will be able to achieve if you persevere and commit to it. I remember feeling like the IB was impossible to start with and I remember finding my first year at university difficult to adapt to as well, but I stuck at it and it has all been worth it! I wish every student at the CTC the best of luck in whichever route they decide to take – I am sure you will do great!

CTC Kingshurst Academy is delighted to confirm that we have received Heritage Lottery grant support to enable primary school in north Solihull to experience an authentic World War One day and to run two community events. The first of these events was to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the Battle of the Somme. This event will be the catalyst for increased school visits before the next community event. As an outward looking academy, we are grateful to be working in partnership with the Heritage Lottery Fund in order to maximise the Arthur Vickers VC trench.

Literacy winnersCharlotte Holt is delighted to confirm that Zac Robinson (7 Holt) and Mrs Gaynor Maisey won the Literacy quizzes from the last edition and will received WHSmith vouchers for this.

Year 13 BTEC Art & Design ExhibitionOur Post-16 art students have worked exceptionally hard to create their final pieces for their qualification. On Wednesday 15th June an exhibition was held in the Visual Arts Faculty to present all the Year 13s excellent art work.


British ValuesOn Curriculum Day, several guest speakers came into school to talk to Year 8 students about hate crimes and radicalisation. As a rising issue in today’s society, it is important to educate children about the risks of such problems

and the growing need for harmony within society. Many of the students enjoyed taking part in the day and hearing the stories the speakers had to tell about their own mistakes in the past. What captivated the students the most was the honesty of the speakers and their ability to reflect on what they had done and how they had changed for the better.Inspired by what they had learnt during the talks, students then produced posters on a great number of different topics related to hate crimes, including bullying, whilst learning the importance of listening, understanding and accepting others for who they are.

Ben Gibbins said, “I thought today was really good. I particularly liked how open the speakers were.”Libby Bright commented, “I thought today was wicked. I enjoyed listening to their stories.”

Imperial War Museum - DuxfordOn 27th April 2016, I went on a school trip to the Imperial War Museum, Duxford. I had a great day. I was so very impressed with the displays, particularly being able to walk through one of the smallest aircrafts.

Curriculum Day My friends thoroughly enjoyed exploring and taking a range of different photos of the planes and the buildings. The staff at the museum were friendly and helpful when we asked questions. We were able to take part in different sessions with the museum staff and this gave us the opportunity to see aircrafts used in World War I and War World II.

Challenge 2016

World of FootballDuring the three days of Challenge 2016, 40 of our students were involved in this football infused project. Each day students engaged in various football challenges including skill tests, 5-a-side and 7-a-side games and a trip to the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham to play futsal. The students from years 7 and 8 enjoyed all the activities as they were able to get involved in sporting activities in a fun and exciting way. On the final day, our students hosted primary schools and spent the day teaching the Year 6 students various skills and officiating them in a football game at the end.

Cubs Presentation

Many Cubs and Scouts groups have been using the facilities within the academy, particularly the Outdoor Learning Centre, for sessions over the last few months. One Cubs group has even used the academy for their own Presentation for the Children. According to Chris Curran, “The cubs and scouts are very grateful to CTC Kingshurst Academy for allowing them to use the academy’s outstanding facilities.”

Pallets to ProfitYear 7 and 8 students worked on the ‘Pallets to Profit’ challenge within the Design and Technology department, with Miss Vesey, Mr Amos, Mr Sims, Mr Balnaves and Mr Dale. Students were tasked with stripping down rough pallets and turning the timber into useful, attractive, functional

products. A variety of products were made ranging from a large skull chair with laser etched arms, to bedside tables,to rustic shelves etc. We have several items still up for sale and held a silent auction for students and staff to bid on their products and help support the charity.

The STEM event for girls took place on Friday 29th April, when a group of year 8 and 9 girls went out to ‘Think Tank’ to participate in a day of raising aspirations for girls to take part in STEM based workshops with a view to seeing opportunities available to them to go into STEM careers.The day began with a keynote address from Liz McKenzie, who explained how her engineering background had led her to become the Chief Operating Officer at the Wesleyan Corporation. She gave a very inspiring speech and explained that STEM was a great way to open doors to many different careers.The first challenge of the day was from a national bank. The girls all took to this very well and had to break the code to move on to the next task. As each task came along, the code became more and more difficult. Eventually, after much struggling and great team work, our team won!We then moved to the second challenge of the day where the teams all had to consider different problems in order to build a railway line. There were five teams: four made up of girls from the different schools and a team of teachers. Pride was on the line for the teachers and sadly the bridge that we made collapsed! However, the girls did a great job and the train made it the rest of the way around the tracks, avoiding duck ponds, housing estates and only needing to knock down a few, small, housing estates.The third activity was with the staff from the NHS; this was really interesting with three different

groups in the task. One group heard about medical imaging, one group heard about nuclear physics and the third group heard about the requirements of being in a clean room which allowed some students to get

dressed up in all of the clothes required, including gloves, mask and shoes.Session four was with Birmingham Airport where our girls heard about how to become an air traffic controller

and then took part in a friendly code cracking competition. This contained some hard puzzles to complete but our girls tried really hard and found it really interesting.The final part of the day was a Q&A session, with girls from the audience asking questions to the panel members and a general round up of the activities undertaken throughout the day. The best question asked of the entire day came from one of our girls and totally rocked all of the panel members back on their heels with the level of maturity and deep thinking. I was extraordinarily proud of our group, they were all superb ambassadors for our school and they threw themselves into the tasks with great enthusiasm.

by Sarah Rayment and Dave Evans

“I have learnt that there are equal amounts of opportunity for women as there are for men in the STEM industry”

“You need to be confident and honest with yourself and do what you want to do”

“‘That women can make a difference to the world”

Quotes from the girls about their experience and what they have learnt from the STEM event:

On 20th June 2016 myself, Jamey Leigh, Esther, Charlotte and Jamie started our two days practice expedition for our bronze Duke Of Edinburgh award and had our actual expedition the following two days later.At the beginning, we all didn’t really know each other well, due to Esther, Jamie and Charlotte being Year 11s. However over the duration of 4 days we’ve all become incredibly close, from being complete strangers who

I was given the opportunity to do some volunteering a couple of years ago. To be honest, I was a bit unsure about it. You don’t get paid for it and you could be going out with your mates instead. Finally, you have to get up on a Saturday instead of having a lie in. It seemed to me that there were just negatives and no positives.

However, I was persuaded to give it a go by Mr Fletcher. I’m so glad I did. I have always been interested in sport and I wanted to see if I could find a career path in that area. Mr Fletcher said that I could volunteer to do activities that I was interested in and that this would give me experience which would be beneficial when pursuing a career as a sports coach.

I have taken part in various activities. I have been a referee, goalkeeping coach, coached a girls’ team and run mini kickers. This is a programme of football activities for young children. By doing this, I have worked with a number of coaches, all with different ideas, techniques and philosophies. I have coached a variety of students with mixed abilities. This type of

didn’t talk at all, to good friends who made some incredible memories. During our time, we did face quite a few challenges but that’s what life is about, facing different challenges and overcoming them to become a better person.Participating in the Duke of Edinburgh award expedition is definitely one of the best weeks I’ve had during my 3 years at school. Not only did I experience something completely new but I’ve made some memorable moments with new people and learnt many life skills. For example, whilst completing my expedition, I have learnt how to read a map, how to look after myself and much more. The Duke of Edinburgh Award has helped me gain confidence in myself and allowed me to understand that it’s always OK to make mistakes as long as you learn from them.Now that I have completed my expedition it has made me realise how important it is to try something new, even if you

might think you won’t enjoy it because it’s not your type of thing to do. If you don’t try something you’d never know how much it can benefit you.

Next year, I’d definitely recommend students to try it

Duke of Edinburgh Bronze Award 2016

The impact of volunteering on your futureexperience is something that cannot be achieved in a classroom and has proven invaluable to me in working towards my goals. The more I put in the more I got out and my confidence has grown with every session.

I used to be anxious when I started coaching but now I feel comfortable in front of a group of children. This alone is very rewarding. As a result of my volunteering I have also been able to participate in various coaching courses like my FA Level 1 and mini soccer refereeing course. My C.V. is now looking a lot more interesting and I am starting to get offers of paid work. In the future, I hope to make a career out of sports coaching. There is nothing better than making a living out of something that you enjoy.

If your mindset is similar to mine and you are wondering whether you should do some volunteering, then take it from me, if you don’t go for it you may regret it. There are lots of opportunities so just pick something that really interests you and who knows where it may lead.

by Elliot Rainbird, Post-16

For my CAS hours, I have been attending DJ sessions on a regular basis. This has enabled me to build up a skill and talent for life which has further increased my confidence to allow me to play in front of a large crowd, and bring me paid work. I have played in various clubs and bars such as Nuvo, Geisha and in Malmaison regularly. This work has helped me develop as a person; I have better communication skills when approaching older people, I have gained more experience in playing in clubs and bars and more confidence over time. I can now start to build a network and release regular mixes on sites such as Soundcloud. The skills I have learnt musically range from track formation, mixing, beats per minute, scratching, setting cue points and listening for down beats and drops.

For my CAS hours, I have also helped others who attended DJ sessions when they are unsure or encounter a problem mixing. I try to help them by sharing my experience and knowledge in order to improve theirs. I try to inspire others with certain effects and mixes. Although DJ sessions have been useful for completing my creative hours for CAS, I have gained so much more from participating in them and would encourage others to join in with new things.

“Epico” not only means epic in Italian, it also stands for Everybody Participating in Community Objectives. During Challenge 2016, Epico students were involved in working with Gro-organic (a local community group) to contribute to a community project locally at Babbs Mill.

The students also got involved on campus in the Outdoor Education and Adventure Centre by planting both flowers and vegetables, which when harvested will be donated to Chelmsley Wood Food Bank.

EPICO

We also looked at the links between the senses and gardens and we took part in various activities to support this.

The students ended their Community Caring Challenge project by visiting Shugborough Hall in Staffordshire to see how animals are cared for and what the life of a servant was like. During this visit, we were complimented on the students’ outstanding behaviour.


I heard about the event through the leaflet Mr Fletcher gave to me. It sounded very interesting and I showed it to my mum and dad, but she already knew about it from the school Twitter site. She said it looked really good so all of us went.

When we arrived we went straight to the Outdoor Education and Adventure Centre. We were told to stand in a line and we were given our trench duties. We went into the trench and did some activities. We cleaned a pair of old and muddy boots, we looked through the periscope and we learnt how to put on a bandage. We even marched round the Outdoor Education and Adventure Centre.

Inside we met David Vaux and saw the exhibition of World War One artefacts.

Battle of the Somme Family Day 2nd July

It was incredible! We saw grenades, original barbed wire, medals and learned what happened. There were newspaper articles too from the time of the Great War.

Overall, a great day which all my family enjoyed. We look forward to the next one!

For the past few years, our younger students have been involved in the Children’s University and the many opportunities it provides for them. This year’s Graduation took place on the 5th July and was hosted by The University of Birmingham within the Elgar Music Hall.Many of our students graduated, along with others from Fordbridge Community Primary School and Castle Bromwich Junior School; looking very smart and sophisticated in their caps and gowns. Others in attendance to present the students with their awards were the Mayor and Mayoress of Solihull, a Children’s

University representative and Professor Carl Chinn.There were fantastic performances from all schools: a cheerleading display from Castle Bromwich, a choir and solo piece from Fordbridge and a drama excerpt from ‘James and the Giant Peach’ by our very own CTC Kingshurst Academy.Solihull Children’s University Manager, Mr Fletcher, said, “I’m delighted to see the Solihull Children’s University expand so that so many youngsters are inspired to take part in extracurricular activities and graduate in such a grandiose setting as The University of Birmingham. I am very

grateful to Carl Chinn for being such an enthusiastic Solihull Children’s University Chancellor and proponent of increased opportunity. I am equally grateful to Jane Patel, the outreach officer at the University, who has been a tremendous supporter of Solihull Children’s University and has provided us with such an incredible Graduation Hall. We look forward to working with the University of Birmingham for years to come and the Graduation in the Great Hall next summer.”

Congratulations to all who graduated this year!

Outdoor Learning Specialist, Dan Jones, led a very exciting science lesson incorporating an array of different insects and snakes into learning. All the Year 7 students who took part in the session thoroughly enjoyed the interactive learning experience and some were even brave enough to hold the snakes! The students felt the practical nature of the lesson was really helpful for them and the hands-on experience allowed them to learn more.

According to Debbe Reilly, “This was an excellent session for my

OEAC Science Lesson

Year 7 group. He brought along snakes, spiders and other creepy crawlies. The students really seemed to enjoy it. He was incredibly knowledgeable and very good with the students.”

We visited CTC Kingshurst Academy on Monday 4th July. The trip was planned as a taster session for us to see what the school has to offer. We brought 30 Year 2 children and 5 adults. The facilities are excellent and have a big WOW factor for the children. They were all gasping as we walked through the gates, keen to get started. There were appropriate basic facilities such as toilets and hand washing available on site too, which made the day easier for all. The activities planned suited the age range and abilities of all our children. There was something for everyone and every child came away enthusiastic about what they had done and eager to share what they had learnt. The day was planned and organised brilliantly, each activity only lasting twenty minutes. This worked well for our Year 2 children as it enabled them to stay focussed and engaged. As it was such a hot day, Dan had planned in

Rednal Hill Infants School visit our innovative Outdoor Education and Adventure Centre

regular drink stops and provided each child with a cold bottle of water. Both Dan and his colleague, Kieran, guided us well throughout the day while we led the activities. This was useful as we know the children so could take the learning further where necessary. The resources were phenomenal; both the children and staff had an amazing day. When asked, one child said, ‘I’ve had the best day ever and when I’m bigger I’m going to come to this school because it’s really cool’. We will definitely be visiting the site again and look forward to working with Dan to tailor more inspiring days for the children to support their learning. Thank you to the CTC!

Designer of the MonthDesign Technology teacher, Amy Moore, has

introduced the ‘Designer of the Month’ competition to the academy. This is proving to be the catalyst

for improved effort and attainment in DT. Amy has created a stunning display that showcases our young

designers in work.

According to Amy, “We have introduced the competition as we want to celebrate some of the great work completed by our talented students. It is an opportunity for other students, teachers

and parents to see how students are putting their practical skills into use. The students have their work

CERN TripOur experience in Geneva was an unforgettable one. We were given a once in a lifetime opportunity to go to CERN, the European organisation that researches particle physics. Its original purpose, however, was nuclear research as suggested in the CERN acronym. CERN stands for ‘Conseil Européen pour la Recherche Nucléaire’ which is French for the ‘European Organization for Nuclear Research’.

During our visit, we had a fantastic opportunity to visit the Atlas Visitor Centre to see the control room for the experiment, which is one of CERN’s underground detectors and where the Higgs Boson was discovered. ATLAS is about 45 meters long, more than 25 meters high, and weighs about 7,000 tons. It is about half the size of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and weighs the same as the Eiffel Tower, or a hundred 747 jets!

We also saw the synchrocyclotron, CERN’s first particle accelerator. After visiting the CERN canteen, which was an experience in itself as it is so busy, we were able to meet with two PhD students from the University of Birmingham who told us about their work over there. They explained how they got from our position, now completing GCSE studies at school, to the University of Birmingham and then to be at CERN working with physicists and engineers from all over the world.

Other than CERN we also got to see the beautiful city of Geneva which was incredibly hot and sunny in comparison to the UK. We went bowling and ate pizza served by the metre, went across the lake on a ferry and saw many sights, including the Geneva flower clock and famous fountain.

Overall, Geneva was an unforgettable experience; there was never a dull moment! So thank you to the teachers who made it possible as everything from the coach trip there to the coach trip back was amazing. I believe I speak for everyone on this trip when I say “CERN handshake”!

Mrs Wright bids farewell after starting at the CTC in 1988PE teacher, Mrs Wright, looks back on her long association with the CTC before she moves on to pastures new.

Its pretty crazy to think that I have spent 22 of my 39 years here at CTC Kingshurst; 7 years as a student and then 15 years as a teacher! I loved PE at school and played in the netball team, ran in the athletics competitions, swam for the school and even completed my work experience in the PE Department, alongside the legend himself, Mr Jones who has been a massive inspiration to me throughout both my school life and career. Returning to the CTC in 2001 after teaching in Gloucestershire for 2 years was not a difficult decision for me. I had returned to my roots! Over the 15 years here, I have had the pleasure of working with some wonderful young people. I think back fondly to my very first form group, 7 Booth, and feel very proud of what you have all achieved, and also so touched by the lovely messages you sent me which featured in a gorgeous leaving book I was presented with! I then took on Solovyova who became 10 Wright; a right great mix of kids and a real characterful bunch! I was then given the task of covering the registration of 9 Bailey who felt really hard done by after having sooo many different tutors and I really felt for you all; so I then took you on and you became 10 Wright. You kept me on my toes initially but I truly enjoyed working with each and everyone of you; it really was a sad day to say goodbye when you left. My existing form consist of some lovely young people who I unfortunately leave at the end of Year 10, but in the very capable hands of Miss Akhtar. Form groups aside, I have worked with so many students right from Year 7 through to Year 13 ranging from teaching PE, Dance, Geography, ASDAN, BTEC Sport / Sport Science / Travel & Tourism, GNVQ Leisure & Tourism, Leisure & Recreation and GCSE PE.....so quite a lot!

Of course there are the teams! We’ve had some cracking netball and rounders teams over time and I’ve really enjoyed coaching and working with you....Oh, until some of you told me once it was safe to reverse the mini bus in Grace Academy car park and I ended up reversing into a parked car!! It has also been lovely seeing some of you older faces still playing netball and even playing against you in the Birmingham Netball League! It’s been great fun having the good old staff versus students competitions too, especially the recent rounders play off! I have worked with some truly amazing people (staff and students alike) whilst being at CTC, far too many to mention, and I take away such lovely memories of my time here. Whilst it’s sad that this chapter in my life has finished (for now), I am very much in need of a brief career break to focus on my family, and who knows what the future holds?

As I have preached to many of my students over time, if you take anything from me, have faith and believe in yourself and what you can achieve; always just do your best! And do something active! Find something that you enjoy! It’s so good for you physically, mentally and socially! Best of luck to you all and thank you for all your kind words and best wishes. Farewell for now,

Mrs Wright

My IB Journey 2014-2016 – Laurie-Anne KinsellaLaurie-Anne Kinsella looks back on her IB journey over the last two years.

Long before I received my GCSE results, I had made the decision to take the International Baccalaureate as my post 16 qualification. At the time, I was undecided on which career path I wanted to pursue which made narrowing my options down to three A-Levels difficult. Although taking six subjects seemed immensely challenging when comparing the amount of work required for each, having the ability to continue core subjects like maths and English seemed beneficial. What really appealed to me initially was how the IB prepares you for University.

The IB is a demanding course due to the quantity of work and knowledge required for each subjects, resulting in a sizable leap from GCSEs to IB. However the beginning of the IB was much easier than the end. Unlike A-Levels, exams are only taken at the end of the second year reducing the amount of pressure within year 12. I took this as a prime opportunity to complete my CAS hours (creative, active, service house) before the workload increased. During both years in post 16 I have helped out in many of the academy’s events including parents evening and open evenings, the Halloween disco, OAP Christmas Dinner etc. It was through the many hours of helping out at events that I realised I wanted to continue into a field which would aid and benefit others. Personally, I feel I’ve gained many useful skills through volunteering, such as increased confidence and the ability to engage in conversations with people more easily. The volunteering hours I have accumulated over the two years for CAS really helped me to stand out from others applying for courses at University.

Furthermore, being part of the IB Diploma at the academy has allowed me to partake in many once in a lifetime opportunities others may not have had access to. In my first year, I was chosen to travel to Geneva, Switzerland, to take part in the Students’ League of Nations. For five days, I stayed in France with another family, along with 3 other students from our academy, similar to exchange student programmes. We were given a country to represent and had four separate topics which we debated over the two days in the UN. This opportunity is solely available to IB students and was amazing to be a part of. We were allowed to freely explore Geneva whilst having a taste of what it would be like to be a diplomat.

In July 2015, six of us travelled to Zambia to work within our partner schools, Mungu Primary and Chikoka School. Though the primary reason for our visit was to bring supplies to the children within the schools as well as teach lessons, we were able to go on many different excursions during our two week stay. The first weekend of our visit, we travelled six hours to Livingstone to see Victoria Falls; one of the most picturesque places I have ever seen. We were also able to go on safari down the Zambezi River. During the day, we canoed down the river whilst seeing many wild animals including elephants and hippos, then at night we camped on islands in the river surrounded by the raw beauty and wildness of Zambia. As much fun as the excursions were, the most rewarding part of this trip was being submerged in the culture and seeing how happy the children we taught were. Witnessing how the work and generosity of our own students in raising money to send supplies to Zambia impacts upon the Zambian children’s lives makes me proud to be a part of the academy.

Academically, the school and the IB course has enabled me to excel and grow independently. The amount of support available from teachers is a real life saver when it comes to the end of year 13 with coursework, extended essay and exams to deal with. From the many hours of revision sessions after college and during holiday times, to the effort they put into making sure the work we send off is to the best of our ability, I cannot thank them enough for the effort and commitment they have given every day to ensure we achieve the highest grade possible. I have been constantly provided with opportunities to further my learning with the IB course due to encouragement of working independently. Additional requirements of the course, such as the extended essay, allowed me to develop vital skills in researching and composing essays that will be beneficial for when I continue studying at University.

I would be lying to say my two years as an IB student were easy; the course has undeniably challenged me more than anything has before. However, I have gained so much more from the IB than just the diploma and my points.


What makes the IB better than A-Levels?At the end of Year 11, we all have the choice of what qualification to take for Post 16: A levels, IB or BTEC? Here’s why many of our students decide to take on the challenge of the IB.

Subject OptionsWith the IB, you have six different subjects to continue through the two year course. Included in these subjects are English and maths, a second language, a science and finally the choice of two humanities or arts subjects. In addition to subject choice there is also the level, of which each subject is available at both standard level and higher level. Out of your six subjects, you are allowed to choose which three subjects you would prefer to pursue in more depth and detail at higher level; whether this is to further your knowledge in preparation for a university course or simply because you enjoy the subject. The reason many people prefer this aspect of the IB is due to the course not limiting your options for further education or career paths. The ability to study six subjects instead of three provides IB students with a broad range of subjects at their disposal, making them well rounded students.

Creative, Active, Service HoursAs part of the diploma programme, students are required to complete at least 150 hours of service in the three respective areas: creative, active and service. 150 hours of service initially seems like a large amount of work to include with all the other subjects. However, it’s actually quite easy to complete, and even exceed. The academy provides many opportunities to complete CAS hours with the amount of events that take place each year. Help from students will always be needed at parents’ evening and open evenings. After this, a few hours here and there start to add up. As well as this, the academy hosts and creates a lot of different clubs for people to get involved with. In recent years, Post-16s have had the ability to attend university preparation cooking classes, DJ sessions, tennis leadership courses, first aid courses etc. Many of these not only help in achieving your diploma but provide the necessary life skills that are increasingly vital. Students have also been given chances to organise events independently, such as the Halloween Disco, where a group of students produced everything from posters for advertisement to the food, drink and activities that would take place on the night. The transferable skills gained from these opportunities have allowed other students to continue organising events outside of the academy. Joshua Williams has successfully organised a fashion show, ‘Elite Fashion Show’, in order to raise money for charity, which will take place again this year. Others were able to participate in the National Citizens Service (NCS) which provided them with the chance to produce their own campaign on something they felt passionate about and bring this to others in the community to educate them. CAS is a useful component of the IB as it gives students the incentive to volunteer more and partake in more opportunities that could benefit them later on. By taking time out of daily life to help others or participating in other activities that relate to your chosen course at university, for example being part of the Sutton Trust summer school or shadowing a University student as Josh Fantham did, it adds to your personal statement and enables you to stand out from the crowd. Completing CAS shows the perseverance and dedication of IB students – these being desirable traits to any employers or admissions tutors. This gives IB students the edge over A-Level students by presenting their ability to balance workload and other engagements.

ToK and Extended essayThe difference between IB and other qualifications is the amount of additional components needed to be completed in order to gain the Diploma. ToK (Theory of Knowledge) encourages you to think about the knowledge we gain from daily life and how we know this knowledge is reliable. In ToK lectures we learn about processes of understanding, such as sense perception and reasoning, and the interactions that can occur between them. Learning about how we gain knowledge and the implications this can have on our own knowledge never seems beneficial when you begin the ToK course at the start of Year 12. Yet the idea behind ToK is to encourage a higher level of critical thinking from students and to not take everything at face value. The Extended Essay on the other hand can be more exciting. You are given the chance to write about anything within 4000 words. Whether it’s something you are extremely interested in or a topic you’ve found intriguing during your time in the IB, the Extended Essay allows for independent investigation on a subject. Key skills in planning, research, preparation and essay writing are developed in the process and regardless of how tedious it is to start your introduction or make it past the half way mark, at the end you’ve produced a piece of work you can be proud of.

In general, what makes the IB better than A-Levels is how the course develops and prepares its students. Despite being a tougher course to complete, with more subjects to study and extra work needed for the diploma, it values both academic and practical qualities that enables IB students to stand out from the masses and progress successfully into their next stages of life.


Wimbledon 2016Many thanks to Mr Fletcher, our Director of Extended Services, for the opportunity of going to Wimbledon. Eight very lucky students had the privilege of attending Wimbledon to watch tennis and explore the amazing grounds. If that wasn’t exciting enough, they also had the opportunity to meet important people, such as maker of the brand Adidas, Stan Smiths, as well as the chance to meet and talk to several professional tennis players such as John Millman, an Australian tennis player whose current world rank is 62, and Daniel Evans. It was an amazing experience for our students which we thoroughly enjoyed and would love to be involved in again.

Outstanding CTC facilities enable Solihull competitions to take placeA wide range of sports competitions have taken place this term, ably led by North Solihull School’s Games Organiser, Hollie Williams, who had the following to say:“A massive thank you to the CTC for all their support this year so far. Without the support of the staff and young leaders from the CTC Kingshurst Academy, the School Games events that have gone ahead this year wouldn’t have been such a huge success. I look forward to continually building opportunities for myself as School’s Games Organiser and UNITY Collaborative Sports Coordinator and the CTC to work together.”


Tennis Leader’s Course ReviewOn 15th April 2016, a group of Year 9 students took part in a Tennis Leaders course. For most people it was their first time playing tennis and it was a great opportunity for everyone to experience tennis as there was plenty of excitement and competitiveness.We started off with the basics of tennis, e.g. serving techniques, scoring and umpiring. We did different activities to improve our skills and we then showed them off in a tournament at the end of the day.Tennis is a great sport to get involved with and can lead into many different careers. You don’t have to be the next No.1 professional player, as we learnt, you can become a coach, umpire, manager, competition organiser etc…Tennis is on every Wednesday from 3:15–4:15 and is led by Miss Harris and our Tennis coach Matt Tew. It is a really good club to attend and you don’t need to be good to play as you can develop your skills over time. CTC are very fortunate to be given the privilege of brand new, floodlit tennis courts which will be completed in July 2016.by Lewis Sweeney

Athletics Victory for Cassie-Ann PembertonCongratulations to Cassie-Ann Pemberton for her amazing sporting achievements at the Birmingham Sportshall Athletics League Match on Saturday 12th March. Cassie-Ann came home with 4 gold medals within the 2 Lap, Standing Vertical Jump and 4x2 Relay in addition to being crowned the Under 15 Girls Allrounder champion.

Extended Services helps create positive conditions for learning through providing an extensive range of enrichments that boost confidence and enable students to discover new skills. Here we highlight some notable activities this term that have also helped improve attendance.



Children from Castle Bromwich based Spotlight Stage School not only successfully defended the 3 World Titles they won at last year’s Dance World Cup in Romania, they set Jersey alight this year by winning a further six, taking their final pool to nine gold medals / World Titles, two silver medals and two bronze medals from the 14 routines they entered. Spotlight Stage School was also presented with two of the most sought after trophies at this prestigious international competition for having the two best modern group dances out of thousands of entries and helped England win the overall Dance World Cup.

Spotlight principal, Vicky Richards, explains, “It is a great honour just to qualify to represent Team England at the Dance World Cup because each country can only enter two or three dances in each category, so all the dancers had already been identified as amongst the best in the country. To win medals and trophies against top dancers from around the world is an incredible added bonus”.The Dance World Cup is the biggest dance competition in the world attracting nearly 40 different countries and over 18,000 competitors, with approximately 3,000 qualifying for the world finals. The finals are held in a different country every year. This year’s event was held in Jersey from 25th June – 2nd July.

CTC students Grace Arkell, Chante Nembhard, Isabel Mitchell-Oram and Melody Rhodes (Year 11) were only able to compete in the Junior (17 Years & Under) Hip Hop groups as they had to fly back early for prom. They walked away with a silver medal, being beaten to the world title by a team from India. Amiyah Goodall (Year 10) was able to stay in Jersey for the full week and went on to win a gold medal and a world title in 17 Years & Under Acro Modern Dance, as well as being asked to perform the winning routine in the prestigious end-of-competition gala where her troupe won the trophy for the Most Outstanding Modern Troupe of the entire 8 day event.

Spotlight’s most successful pupil was 9 year old Amiyah Joseph who entered eight routines and walked away with six golds, one silver and one bronze, as well as two trophies and the highest Under 10 solo mark in the entire competition.

CTC KINGSHURST ACADEMY SPORTS HUB GETS SET FOR ITS FIRST SUMMER OF TENNIS

The Great British Tennis Weekend saw its four new tennis courts opened at the Academy Sports on Sunday 17th July from 11:00am – 3:00pm, where free tennis was served up for families and friends.

People right across North Solihull tried tennis for free in a relaxed and fun environment and took part in sessions including Cardio Tennis, Highland Spring Mini Tennis and tennis coaching – all completely free as part of the LTA and Tennis Foundation’s drive to get more people playing more often. The Sports Hub at CTC Kingshurst Academy provided rackets and balls for their Great British Weekend celebrations on the 17th July.

Claire Brown, Head of Region for tennis in the Midlands said: “We are really excited that the Great British Tennis Weekend is hitting the new courts at CTC Kingshurst Academy Sports Hub. The LTA are pleased to support CTC Kingshurst Academy with the development of the 4 new floodlit courts which are painted purple and green, Wimbledon colours, as chosen by the students. We hope that families and sports enthusiasts from the local community will enjoy a fun day out and come and try the facilities.”

The Open Day raised awareness of the fantastic new facilities and showcased the amazing tennis sessions and offers that are available to the local community. Parkwood Community Leisure has joined forces with CTC Kingshurst Academy and the LTA to make tennis more affordable and this project is a great example of this. With weekly family tennis sessions for free and coaching for as little as £1 per session, tennis is now accessible for everyone.

Matt Tew, CTC Tennis Hub Head Coach, said “I am really looking forward to introducing new players into the sport and giving them the opportunity to have as much fun as I had growing up with tennis!”
