ISSUE NUMBER 124 JULY 2015
W ith the end of another academic year imminent, I cannot help but look back over the last 12 months to chart our progress and high points. The year began with a celebration event for all the staff following our massive increase in the results achieved last
Summer; Year 7 started well and settled in very quickly, with many producing outstanding work and making excellent progress; Year 11 students responded to the amazing offers of support from the Thomas Aveling staff (after school classes, weekend classes, holiday classes and even opening up the school library to provide a great place to revise well into the evening); the Race to the Prom was a great success and will be repeated next year; Dance and Music shows, including Thomas
Aveling’s Got Talent, all showcasing the great talent we have within Thomas Aveling; our second Music
Festival with even more entries than last year, and an orchestra getting better and better; and last but not least , outstanding sporting performances in the
Medway Games throughout the year. These are but a few of the things that give me so much pride in
Thomas Aveling and the whole school community.
We say a sad farewell to 4 members of staff who between them have served Thomas Aveling for nearly 90 years! Mrs Whelan, Mrs Donnelly, Mrs
Taylor and Mrs Brocklehurst have been here since the school was formed from 3 local schools and have made an amazing contribution, not only to the education of our youngsters but also the massive impact they have had in training and developing the
100s of teachers who have taught at Thomas Aveling and other local and international schools.
I usually get to tease these four at Parents’ Evenings when often they are met with “Hello Miss, you used to teach me back in 199…” from parents who are at the evening for their own children
– no grandchildren yet though! They represent everything that makes Thomas Aveling such a great school - high standards, a good sense of humour, a passion for the children and an ability to ‘sell the dream’ of what a great education can do for their future. We wish them all well in their retirement, although Mrs Brocklehurst will be coming back to teach her Y11 class next year as they pleaded with her to stay and she couldn’t say no!
Please check inside this issue of the newsletter to ensure that you do not waste money when buying new shoes, skirts or trousers only to find that they are not on the school uniform list. In particular, shoes must be leather (not canvas or suede) and must look like shoes (no boots or trainers) in order to be acceptable. Skirts must be only just above or below the knee, loose fitting and not made of stretchy material. Trousers must be tailored and loose fitting. A final reminder – hoodies are NEVER allowed no matter what the weather! Similarly, if your child wants an extreme haircut or colour, or wants a facial piercing, make sure they do this at the start of the holiday so that hair has grown out and piercings have healed up before they return for school in September; anyone breaking the rules will be in the zone until sorted out – no excuses!
You will know that the Academy Trusts of Thomas
Aveling and Fort Pitt are merging and this is ongoing with all the necessary statutory paperwork being drawn up. I do believe that this will open up all sorts of opportunities over the coming years in terms of development and enrichment for staff and students. This will be a gradual process ensuring that any steps we take will improve the education we provide as a group of schools.
I am really looking forward to welcoming our
Y13 students into school on 13 th August and our
Year 11 students on the 20 th August to celebrate their results. They and the staff have worked exceptionally hard to ensure they break last year’s record and this year be able to celebrate the best grades ever achieved – what a summer to look forward to!

Independent Catering, the fresh food caterer at School is increasing the price of the main meal and pudding in
September from £2.00 to £2.20 with the main meal and vegetables staying at £2.00.
Our caterers are committed to quality fresh food with
British meats and ample portions, and have kept the tariff at £2.00 for a number of years. The Chef’s dish of the day and pudding still represents great value for a filling and nutritious lunch time meal.
Over the past year I have opened a club to all students. They can come along and design and/ or make items to sell to raise money for charity.
Before Xmas we raised £212.63 for MNDA. At the start of January term the students decided they would like to fundraise for The Wisdom Hospice.
We have worked hard to design things for personal wear and home use, items from necklaces to fruit bowls, badges to plaques. We are still awaiting our final total for the academic year but it is in excess
Well done to all members of the Thomas Aveling Drama
Club who continue to work brilliantly as a team. Thank you for your hard work during the Open Evening.
The studio was a hive of activity!
Our new Camera Platform is in full use in the Drama
Studio, providing an excellent opportunity for students to film pieces during lessons.
Thank you to year 9 who contributed to the ‘Rising year 7 Showcase’- This was a triumph! And we can only look forward to the onward success of this group!
REMINDER: Keep an eye out for auditions as the
School Production is not far away! ALL year groups to come along!

Performing Arts
On Friday 3rd July a group of our musicians went to perform alongside all the other schools in Medway in a concert set up by Dynamics, the Medway music hub. They gave excellent performances – the woodwind section of the orchestra performed music from the Nutcracker and a Year 7 girl band performed music by 5 Seconds of Summer. They of £300. On Saturday 11th July Miss Butler and I took the fundraising students to run a stall at The
Wisdom Hospice summer fayre. The girls behaved impeccably all day and helped raise £69.50 for the charity. Whilst there they met local celeb Jamie
Johnson. He spent time speaking to the girls about their fundraising and even posed for a photo with them.
Mrs Simkins
Faculty Assisstant were an absolute credit to the school and so supportive of all the other schools’ performances, clearly enjoying the music they heard!

On Tuesday 30th June a group of Year 9, 10 and 12
Media Studies students were visited by Paul Viragh- an accomplished screenwriter and director of film, TV and radio. During the talk, Paul spoke of his own personal journey as a local boy who had the determination to
This year’s Thomas Aveling Readathon really did go off with a bang! Students worked extremely hard, reading as much as they could and collecting sponsors from friends and family for the all-important house charities.
persevere and succeed in a competitive field; despite people telling him along the way that he couldn’t and he invited students to challenge a fixed mind-set. Below are some comments from students who attended:
“I found that the talk was extremely motivating and considering that I want to be an actor there were numerous tips that could help me on my future journey. Also the story of his journey helped as well and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you.”
Scott Bassett Year 10
“Even though Paul was talking about his own experiences he put across an important message through his talk; that you shouldn’t listen to the people who tell you, you can’t do something. Personally it was a great experience meeting with someone who has turned their life into a success and who has worked with many influential people.”
Joyal Dominic Year 12
“I’ve decided not to give up on my dream of becoming an actor!” Tyler Schulz Year 9
“An outstanding speaker!”
Mrs Alyce Le Brunn Media Studies teacher
Please could all students bring shin pads and long sports socks to all P.E. lessons in future.
Whilst pupils follow modules involving different sports, any unexpected change of circumstances may lead to pupils being asked to play football or hockey, for which shin pads and long socks are essential!
Mr Moss
Subject Leader P.E.
The final totals were as follows:
Achilles -£9.56
Cavalier -£98.94
Resolute -£61.90
Victory -£55.80
With an overall total of: £226.20 !
The super readers and raisers were:
Jennifer Capp – Victory House – Most Read
May Coward – Cavalier House – Most Raised
The main thing is that they enjoyed it, with many students saying that this is the most that they have ever read in their lives!

VE Celebration 5 th May 2015
VE day guests joined students for tea, cake and conversation
In celebration of VE Day, residents from two local nursing homes were invited to meet Thomas Aveling Students.
Over several cups of tea and homemade cakes our guests chatted to our students, staff and governors.
Our special guests were more than happy to share their experiences of VE Day and the war.

The Year 12 Business students have been working on a
Marketing unit this term. They attended Kent Business
School for a day in January where they were given seminars from the staff and student ambassadors and a brief from Santi the owner of Rumpus which is an events company. As part of their final assessment the students had to work in groups to plan a marketing idea for the business and present to a panel of judges from the university and Rumpus in school. The standard of work from all of our students was extremely high and three groups were chosen to present their ideas alongside students from Brompton Academy at Kent
Business School on the evening 31st March in front of an audience and another panel of judges.
The 3 teams from Thomas Aveling which were chosen to go through were:
• Rumpus Steak Bar
• Audio Visual Advert
• Mad science
After the successful inauguration of the Enterprise
Cup last year, the second year of this Focus Day event promised to be just as closely fought out between the
Thomas Aveling’s four house groups. The Enterprise Cup is a competition for Year 7 and 8 students which allow them to develop a whole range of entrepreneurial and employability skills; it also puts them in situations they may not always experience in lessons. The theme this year was ‘Real Life Learning’ and eight subject groups were teamed up together to come up with activities which were relevant and engaging, whilst providing a link to life beyond school.
The standard across both schools was very high but I am proud to say the winning team was Audio Visual Advert from Thomas Aveling consisting of Joyal Dominic, Jack
Dalton and Charlie Sparkes and the runners up were
Cookie Shots from Brompton Academy. The students from the winning team will receive £100 from Kent
Business School and the opportunity to spend time working in the media department of Rumpus to see their business idea develop and become real. All of the students that are in the finals received a goody bag and certificate.
“Thank you all very much for a highly entertaining and impressive 2 days of presentations - your students were fantastic and it was clear that many of them had really engaged with the task. “ Ruth Westbury, Partnership
Development Officer University of Kent.
This is the third year we have run this project and we look forward to continuing to work with the University of Kent and local Businesses in the future.
Mrs dodsworth

After an introductory assembly, students were organised into their first subject activities and they met their team mates for the first time. Part of the challenge and the reason why the Enterprise Cup can have a big impact on students is that they are taken out of their comfort zones and have to work with students who could be in different year groups, form group or friendship circles.
They had to nominate a team leader and then come up with a team name, logo and motto that they thought would be relevant. The activities started with students intrepidly facing their first challenges to try and gain their first points for their houses. Teachers were able to score the students and points would count towards overall house totals. Nominations could also be made for outstanding leadership and team work where additional prizes added incentive.
It was impressive to see so many students engaged with the activities and fierce that rivalries built up between the houses. Activities ranged from softball to writing a script for a film in another language to applying a distance time graph to real life situation. The competition ended up being very close, as the leaders kept on changing as scores were added up. An assembly was held during the last lesson of the day to end the competition.

There was much buzz and excitement around the room, and after the winners of outstanding leadership, team work and teams who won the most points for their houses were announced, it was now time to reveal the winners. There were plenty of students on the edge and only 35 points separated the winners from the runners up. The overall winners were Achilles who prevented
Cavalier from retaining their title as Enterprise Cup
Champions.
As a group, the young carers at Thomas Aveling are very strong and are always there for each other and on the 19th
June we went to Wingham Wildlife Park. It was a way of us having a break from our everyday lives. When we arrived we had a talk by one of the keepers and we got to hold a tarantula, corn snake and bearded dragon. Even Mrs D held the tarantula! Well done Miss!
Congratulations to all Year 7 and 8 students in Achilles, and especially to Mr. Humphries was able to hold the Enterprise Cup in all its splendour in from of his students.
Until next year…

Louisa Luff has attended Saturday Art School (a national scheme) at UCA this year and the work she has made was proudly exhibited along with other students at The
Courtauld galleries, Somerset House, London. Year 12 students attended a summer residential course at UCA at the end of June.
‘Recently I went on a trip to the UCA campus in Epsom, as
I had been selected along with 2 other sixth formers by the textiles/ art department. Whilst I was at Epsom I was able to complete a 3 day fashion course and also experience university life such as staying in the halls and meeting deadlines. I also met a new group of friends, whom are from all over England.
Whilst I was completing my course I was able to experience and learn different things such as the process of producing work in fashion for my portfolio, learning about industrial machinery and what you do during your 3/ 4 year course at university. At the end of the trip we held a show in which all of the work from my group and the others groups was displayed, parents were invited to come and see. I really enjoyed this experience as I came away knowing that I definitely want to complete a course in fashion at university.’

Then we got to go around in groups and look at the different animals. There were birds, lions, jaguars, lemurs and a lovely butterfly house. The lemur enclosure was open and one kept jumping on Scott’s back and was eating a carrot.
In my group were Scott, Abbie, Lucie, Billie-Jo and Chloe.
We all explored the park and then found the play area where we all mucked about and had quite a bit of fun. Scott,
Abbie, Chloe and I all did a mini photo shoot where all the pictures looked really cute!
The go carts were next they were lots of fun! We were zooming around like formula 1 driver! On the way home we got KFC which was lovely. Overall, the day was one that I am not going to forget and is lovely that we have the opportunity to bond with each other. The sad thing is, it is the last Summer Young Carers trip Scott, Abbie and I can go on as we will not be here this time next year, but the
4 years I have been involved with Young Carers has been amazing and the support I have got is something I couldn’t get anywhere else.
Thank you Mrs D, Miss Stratford, Mrs Burnett and every young carer for being amazing

So think very carefully before taking time off for holidays, birthdays, moving house etc.; these will always be marked as unauthorised absence and will show on any reference the school writes!
The Education Authority regularly review our registers and poor attenders are referred as a matter of course.
This could result in a fixed penalty notice or court
From September 2015 we will also be focussing on
• Persistent lateness will incur a Leadership Detention
(1 hour after school)
• Students showing no sign of improvement with
regard to punctuality could result in a referral to the
Education Authority.
Online Safety and Cyber Bullying. Rich has supported some major artists including The Wanted and Conor
Maynard so it was a brilliant event, followed by queues for autographs and the ubiquitous selfies!

This year has been a brilliant year for talent at The Thomas
Aveling School. On Tuesday
30th June 2015, there were 8 talented acts in the final, 2 performances from each house competing for the TA’s Got Talent Title. After a fantastic evening of singing, dancing and acting the judges decided to crown the winner to Daniella Batchelor, making the winning house Resolute. Daniella performed a vocal mash up of different styles and genre which not only showcased her huge gift as a singer but also brought the house down! This made her victorious and saw her win the prize of £100 Bluewater vouchers. The judges consisted of Miss J Voice, Mr L Preston and Miss N Archer. Miss
Voice was very vocal in her opinions and took over the role of Simon Cowell, much to the audiences dislike.
Mr Preston was firm but fair with added humour taking the David Walliams approach and Miss Archer was very complimentary about all the acts as Amanda Holden would be. The evening ended with a dance performance of ‘America’ from Westside Story by Saskia Smart while the judges deliberated, followed by the winning performance again.
The Thomas Aveling School is committed to keeping its students safe, not just at school but in all areas of their lives- including, crucially, online. As part of that commitment on the 16 th of July Rich Cottell, a rising singer- songwriter on the indie pop scene (check him out on Youtube), performed for all Key Stage 3 and
Music Students. His set promoted his debut album, ‘More
Than Just a Geek’, but the focus were key messages on
I would like to thank all performers and judges that took part in the whole event. It showcased that Thomas
Aveling really does have talent!

Year 9 and 10 CoPE students have had a very busy term!
Year 10 continued to maintain the garden at the back of T5 that last Year’s year 10 started from scratch. The weather early on was not too kind and the ground took a while to warm up. Consequently the tomatoes, runner beans, carrots and courgettes will be ready to harvest during the summer holidays; a huge disappointment to the students eagerly waiting to take home their produce.
Last year’s year 10 took home copious amounts of fruit and vegetables (Mr Jackson, I seem to remember enjoyed our potatoes, carrots and onions!)
FOTA very kindly bought a storage unit for all the garden tools and Mrs Orris’s husband assembled it for us. We had previously stored all our equipment in the classroom so we were very grateful.
This is a year 10 project so the reins will soon be handed over to the current year 9 CoPE group.
Year 9 worked on a CoPE module entitled ‘International
Links’. They worked in groups, researched a country of their choice and then hosted an evening to showcase their work to parents, friends, teachers and Governors.
Food was provided from their individual countries.
Sidney and Melissa researched Greece; here they are surrounded by olives, olive oil and bread!
The Spanish group wrote to their Embassy in London and were sent a lot of information and posters. They provided Spanish meatballs and rice and chorizo for their guests and were a very popular port of call!
Harrison Carr has been our star gardener and designed and built a rockery as well as team leading the group superbly
The group worked indoors as well as outdoors and made bird feeders from juice cartons, wind chimes from junk and painted large pebbles donated by Elisabeth’s mum.
Students made flags and played music from their countries.
All visitors remarked on how well the students hosted the event and the quality of their displays.
CoPE teachers were incredibly proud of the students.

Another successful Art and Design Show exemplifying the work of students from year 7 to 13 in Art, Textiles,
Food, Resistant Materials, Photography & Graphics.
The evening was attended by students, their parents/ carers, staff, governors and our local ward councillors;
Sylvia Griffin, Trevor Clarke & Rupert Turpin.
We were pleased to also be able to welcome Cllr Mike
O’ Brien, Portfolio holder for Education at Medway council who was keen to see all the work on display and learn more by talking with students about their projects and said “I was really impressed with the imaginative, creative and inspirational work of the students. Their passion for Art and Design shines through their work. They are a credit to themselves, their families and all at Thomas Aveling.”
Year 9 Food students prepared light refreshments and acted as waiters during the event which added to the ambience of the evening.
There are further images from the show on the website in the Art and Design photo gallery.

Not 1 but 2 Proms this year!
Year 11 worked very hard in their Race to the Prom… which culminated in 40 % of the year group earning free
VIP golden tickets to their Prom held on the 24th June at the Roffen Club.
The evening was a great success and saw awards being given out for amongst other things ‘Miss and Mr
Congeniality!’ … not forgetting Prom King and Queen awarded to Bradley and Jessica.
The Prom committee was made up of students from all houses and they certainly did themselves, and their peers proud.
Not to be outdone, our head boy and girl, Danny and
Zoe organised their Year group’s Year 13 Prom, also held at the Roffen Club.
This too was a memorable evening with Elizabeth being voted Prom Queen and Max winning the Prom King title.
Two great Proms celebrating the end of an awful lot of hard work by our students, we look forward to great exam results from them all in August

Let’s Get Cooking Club
This year has been another successful year for the Let’s get cooking club. The year began with year 13 cooking for University, where a group of students cooked a variety of main course and sweet treats on a budget ending the year with Chocolate Logs for Christmas.
2015 saw the return of the Year 7 cooking club. 30 year
7 students took part cooking everything from scones to curry with lots in between.
The picture shows a group of year 7’s with their Speedy
Chicken Biryani and Oat Cookies.
They rounded off their year, selling scones and muffins, which they had made, at open evening to raise funds for next year.

Victory were crowned champions after a closely contested Sports Day.
The rundown of winners were as follows:
Year 7– Victory
Year 8– Cavalier
Year 9– Victory
Year 10– Resolute
Year 12– Achilles
It was a historic day as four students broke school records. The year 7 high jump record for both boys and girls were broken by Kaliyah Young of Achilles and
Simeon Kasumu of Victory. Elle Wastell (Victory) became the fastest year 9 to run 800m getting her name in the records books for the third consecutive year. Finally,
Kai Osbourne of Achilles impressively broke the 100m record for year 12s.
Boys and girls in years 7 to 10 had a great day at the
District Sports event at Medway Park with the Thomas
Aveling students doing the school proud bringing home plenty of medals.
A notable highlight was Elle Wastell of year 9 breaking the Medway record for her age in the Long Jump with a
4.76m leap. Elle also excelled in her 800m event brushing aside the competition to bring home gold. Her work was not done as the Year 9 4x100m relay team took to the track. The team consisting of: Liberty Smith, Lacey
Whiting, Loren Fuller and Elle Wastell raced home to win gold ahead of a very competitive field.
The Year 7 team were brilliant throughout the day with several competitors leaving with multiple medals.
Taking home two gold medals was Kaliyah Young and
Amy Sinton. Kaliyah came first in her 200m race early in the day and Amy won the High Jump. Mya Bradley
Wilkinson took home silver in the hurdles, as did Mollie
Vaughn in the 100m sprint. This was all before all four medal winners teamed up to win the 4x100m relay. The boys also did themselves proud with gold medals going to Ollie Kent-Smith in the hurdles and Samuel Simoes in the Javelin. Simeon Kasumu showed stunning pace to win his 100m heat and reach the final where he took home a bronze medal against some very fierce opponents.
Continuing the relay glory were the Year 8 boys who won silver (Connor Day, Darcey Murdoch-Goodwin,
Lewis Young and Will Unger). Will reproduced the form he showed in the 300m where he also won silver.
Connor and Lewis won bronze medals in the High Jump and 1500m respectively. Anita Wallace continued the track success for the year 8s winning a silver medal in the 200m.
The year 10/11 group had a difficult day for medals, but
Katie Bridge and Kyra Bryant shone. Katie ran a brilliant
1500m and won gold. Kyra threw her way to silver in the
Javelin. Well done to all competitors, everyone gave their all and showed the district what we are made of.
