GCSE Suc­cess 2014

Details

gcse results photo200

For the sec­ond year run­ning, King Ethel­bert School are cel­e­brat­ing extra­or­di­nary GCSE results. 62% of their Year 11 stu­dents gained five GCSEs at C grade or above includ­ing Maths and Eng­lish (74% of stu­dents gained a C or above in Eng­lish and 67% of stu­dents gained a C or above in maths). Last year, the school was the most improved in Kent and the best non selec­tive in Thanet on 54%. This year, the value of voca­tional sub­jects has changed and it has been much harder for stu­dents to gain five good passes. There­fore, King Ethelbert’s suc­cess is even more remark­able given this context.
Stu­dents who achieved par­tic­u­lar suc­cess were:
Georgina Ander­son – 2 x A*, 7 x A, 2 x B, 1 x C
Megan Cather­all – 4 x A*, 2 x A, 5 x B
Kieran Duck­worth – 4 x A, 5 x B, 4 x C
Chanelle Last – 1 x A*, 7 x A, 5 x B,
Emily Last – 3 x A*, 3 x A, 5 x B, 2 x C
Reece Mab­ber­ley – 2 x A, 6 x B, 1 x C
Charli Nichol­son – 2 x A*, 2 x A, 6 x B, 1 x C
Gre­gory Nocen­tini – 2 x A*, 1 x A, 4 x B, 5 x C
Han­nah Scott – 2 x A*, 3 x A, 4 x B, 3 x C
Ellyn Seely – 2 x A*, 2 x A, 8 x B
Reece Ward – 3 x A*, 4 x A, 6 x B

What a Year!

westgate200It seems unbe­liev­able that yet another school year is over and the sum­mer break is here again. It has been a fan­tas­tic year with so much to cel­e­brate and our posi­tion in Kent as one of its top schools has strength­ened con­sid­er­ably for a num­ber of reasons.

Our exam­i­na­tion results last sum­mer were the best of any non-​selective school in Thanet and the early entry results in Novem­ber were stun­ning, set­ting us on course to have another excel­lent set of exam­i­na­tion results this sum­mer. On July 5th we received the Sixth Form exam­i­na­tion results which were superb. All our stu­dents man­aged to achieve the IBCC Cer­tifi­cate with top grades in all diploma sub­jects as well as the BTEC ele­ment of the course. The stu­dents from Year 13 all have the grades they need to go on to what they want to do in the future with the major­ity going on to Uni­ver­sity to study a wide range of degree subjects.

Boot­camp 2014

boot200Fol­low­ing the suc­cess of Hey Mr Pro­ducer last year was always going to be a mas­sive chal­lenge. We had cre­ated a show which stu­dents and staff had all loved being part of and were immensely proud of and for months after­wards peo­ple were ask­ing ‘how are you going to top that?’. With this ques­tion in mind, we set out on a quest to find our next big per­for­mance project. Some hours and a few cof­fees later we came up with a crazy idea which would see 60 per­form­ers tak­ing part in an inten­sive 5 day ‘Fame Acad­emy’- style expe­ri­ence. We wanted them to expe­ri­ence all areas of per­form­ing arts and so set about cre­at­ing a huge pro­gramme of events which would involve singers, dancers, actors, musi­cians, tech­ni­cians and film crew! We invited pro­fes­sion­als from all areas of per­for­mance to come and work with the stu­dents inspir­ing them with tasters from Stomp, Wicked, Sweeney Todd, Cats, Cir­cus and steel band skills to name but a few. We even took them all the way to London’s Wes­t­end to ter­rify them with a per­for­mance of Woman in Black!

Yr 7 Home­work Project Grand Final

7 winners200

This morn­ing it was the grand final of the year 7 home­work project — “That’s an inter­est­ing T-​Shirt you are wear­ing!” All those that attended were met with a truly excit­ing morn­ing. There was a huge amount of cre­ativ­ity, vari­ety and well-​rehearsed pre­sen­ta­tion skills.
Dur­ing terms 5 and 6 Year 7 have been work­ing hard along with their peers on the final and most chal­leng­ing home­work project so far. It is a project that truly tests their cre­atively, research, inde­pen­dent learn­ing and think­ing skills.
The two win­ners from each tutor group went head to head in front of year 7, par­ents and staff. They were com­pet­ing for the grand VIP prize, “A key to King Ethel­bert School”. The win­ner is given VIP treat­ment: the choice of lessons for the day, to attend in non-​uniform and be treated to free break­fast and lunch for the day!
It is true to say that all were ner­vous, all had worked incred­i­bly hard and had to over come the fear of pub­lic speak­ing. They were fan­tas­tic and are a credit them­selves, the year group and King Ethel­bert School. How­ever, there can only be one win­ner, and this year’s win­ner was John Scan­lon of 7JLS for his exper­i­men­tal sci­ence themed project. It was an ener­gised pre­sen­ta­tion that showed evi­dence based out­comes and a pos­si­ble future in design­ing lab coats. Well Done John! — “That’s an inter­est­ing T-​Shirt you are wearing!”

Thumbs Up Award

Details

Thumbs U200Every day, our stu­dents do some­thing to impress us, either help­ing another stu­dent or cheer­ing some­one (staff or another stu­dent) up when they are fit to burst or defus­ing a sit­u­a­tion. Gen­er­ally going the extra mile to help some­one.
The Thumb­sUp Award will be used to recog­nise these stu­dents. Their names will go on the School Web­site and they will receive a certificate.

Thumbs up to Cal­lum Simp­son — vol­un­tar­ily pick­ing up lit­ter from the Hawks House area and putting it into the rub­bish bags on Sports Day & Owen Sherred who helped all the other final­ists present their project smoothly even though he was com­pet­ing against them and finally thumbs up to Elliot Brun­skill for find­ing and hand­ing in some money today!
