SUMMER TERM 1 – MAY 2015
DEAR PARENTS, CARERS, STUDENTS AND STAFF
I hope that this edition of our
newsletter finds you well. We
have had another successful
half term and continue to be
very proud of all the
achievements of our students.
The school continues to grow, I
am delighted to inform you that once again next
year we have over 200 Year 7 students and some
fantastic new teachers joining us in September.
Currently students across the school are
undertaking internal and external exams. We have
been impressed by students’ commitment and
dedication to lessons, and to the intervention and
additional studies sessions that have been put on to
help them achieve to be the best that they can be.
As you can see during this half term, we have had
many exciting events going on: Rock Challenge,
‘Going to the Polls’, Year Leader Awards, WE Day,
5Live Day and Science Week to name a few.
I would like to pass on my personal thanks to all
those people who supported and sponsored me in
the Brighton Marathon. With the help from
students in Year 10 setting up fund-raising activities
and the support of students and staff, we managed
to raise in excess of £2,000 for Action for Children.
Well done everyone, a fantastic achievement and
worthwhile activity.
I am sure you would like to join us in wishing the
students in Years 11, 12 and 13 the very best for
their forthcoming exams. The students have really
excelled themselves in their studies with this last
push and effort I am sure they will achieve the
grades they need to move on to the next phase of
their lives, whether that is remaining in the Sixth
Form, moving onto to University or to work. We are
proud of you all, good luck and best wishes. Aim
high. Work hard. Be kind.

MARRIOTTS GOES TO THE POLLS
Marriotts School’s students have had election fever
this week and the buzz has been tangible.
In addition to this we have recently finished the
consultation period regarding our new school
uniform. Letters were sent home to parents last
week regarding the implementation of the change
and the phasing in period. The new uniform will be
available from 1st July. Further details can be found
on the school’s website at
www.marriotts.herts.sch.uk. Copies of the new
uniform are shown below.
Throughout the week we have run Election
Assemblies, in which representatives from all the
major political parties spoke to the students. In the
absence of Cameron and Clegg, staff and former
students presented the policies of all the parties at
our hustings. Students listened attentively then
debated election issues in lesson time, learning
about the democratic process and how government
operates.
On Thursday 7th May, there was a huge turnout at
the Marriotts’ polling station in our library where
students eagerly awaited, polling card in hand, to

cast their vote. Voting took place before and after
school and during break, and was co-ordinated by
our student Election Officers. The election saw a
Labour victory with the candidate Ryan McQueen, a
former student, winning 37% of the vote as
predicted by our exit polls.
Democracy is a fundamental British value and
Marriotts’ students as ever were keen to have their
say!

Marriotts Rocks at Rock Challenge
As many of you know, we are delighted that
students from Marriotts School beat off fierce
competition from 11 other schools from London,
Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Northampton and
Berkshire to win not only the open regional stage of
the annual Rock Challenge Event held at the Gordon
Craig Theatre, but to win 13 of the 14 individual
awards available.
The theme of the performance was based on an
ancient Chinese story depicted on the Willow
pattern plate. It is the story of a Mandarin queen
who ruled a Chinese Province. She used dark magic
to control the seasons, the towns people and her
daughters. When one daughter defied her mother
by falling in love, the queen stopped at nothing to
keep her daughter under her control.
In total, 49 students were involved in every aspect
of the performance including choreography, set
design, make up and technical support. Year 12
BTEC Dance students Lilly Chalkley, Courtney Carr,
Kayleigh Harradine, Erin Bowler, Rochelle Staddon
and Emma Rose led the auditions, rehearsals, fund
raising events and creative designs as part of their
BTEC National course.
This amazing collaboration saw the school take
awards for:
Excellence for Soundtrack
Spirit of Rock Challenge
Visual Enhancement
Set design and function
Lighting
Choreography
Drama
Entertainment
Concept
Stage Crew
Performance Skill
Costuming Character
We are incredibly proud of this achievement
particularly in light of the competition and very high
quality of performances. Our Performing Arts
department and students are very talented and this
was a very well deserved win.
Mrs Bond, joint head of Performing Arts, was
particularly pleased that our students also won the

by all competitors, which recognised the students
who were most supportive of others. This support
echoed the school’s ethos ‘Aim high, work hard, be
kind’.”
out for students and would let us know if they
seemed like they needed a little extra love (and she
was often the person who provided it too!)
Rock Challenge is a global competition, sponsored
by the 'Be Your Best' foundation. The charity
promotes 'healthy living' for teenagers, with no use
of drugs, smoking or alcohol throughout the
rehearsals and performances. It also advocates
attendance to school by giving students who may
have become disengaged the opportunity to work
towards something they enjoy and want to be in
school for.
Whilst we will miss her tremendously, she has more
than earned her retirement and we are delighted to
hear of her plans for all the fun she will have.
The students will now take their performance to
Portsmouth on Friday 19th June to take part in the
National Southern Region Open Final. If the school
gain either 1st or 2nd place in this competition they
would become a ‘Premier School’ and automatically
qualify for the National Finals next year.
We continue to help support the event through
fundraising activities and approaching local business
for sponsorship. If you would like to support us and
make a donation, please click Here.
Farewell Joyce Welch
On Friday 27th March, we said a very fond farewell
to our hugely loved dinner lady, Joyce Welch. Joyce
has worked tirelessly for the Marriotts' Community
(and Bedwell before it) for 40 years. As a cleaner
and dinner lady at the school she has cleaned up
after our muddy feet; served our hungry stomachs
with delicious meals and offered us all a smile every
day!
There were many sad hearts from both staff and
students who will miss her smile. Joyce had always
been a dinner lady of the 'old school' who watched
Joyce was presented with a plaque, gifts, a standing
ovation and endless cheer from everyone. It does
not go far enough to express our love but we hope
she knows she takes that with her.
Year Leader Awards and Headteacher’s
Commendation Award
Once again we have had a large number of students
who have achieved the Year Leader’s Award and
Headteacher’s Commendation Award for
outstanding achievement.

Some of the comments received for students
receiving the award included:
“ … for being hardworking friendly and polite to students
and staff at all times.”
“… for settling into Marriotts really well and working hard
in all lessons.”
“ … for working really well and in the top group of
students for receiving Achievement Points this week.”
“ … for turning around his attitude towards learning keep it up.”
The Heroes manage on a daily rota basis, the
Humanutopia Room, working in pairs. They help
develop the skills and confidence of peers and join
in conversations with selected students from Years
7-9. The Heroes are currently working on
assemblies and posters to promote ideas.
The group work closely together to generate causes
for fundraising in order to help benefit
organisations including, The Prince’s Trust/Make a
Wish Foundation.
There are also a number of students who run
regular lunchtime clubs and help manage a running
club in the Sports Centre.
We would like to congratulate and thank all Heroes
for their continued contribution to fundraising and
the benefits of working closely with their peers.
Well done Heroes and thank you.
We would like to congratulate all students who
have received these awards and look forward to
seeing many more during the Summer Term.
Humanutopia - Heroes
We recently held a training day for the school’s
Humanutopia Heroes who worked closely with Year
5 students from local primary schools at the 5Live
event.
The Heroes were very successful in putting together
the event and managing the Year 5 children who
were divided into small groups. The Heroes were
able to use their skills in setting up and arranging
the groups ready for the HARmony Camp at the end
of the year.
Humanutopia – 5Live Day inspires Year 5 children
We recently held a 5Live Day, working in
partnership with Humanutopia
(www.humanutopia.com), to deliver an exciting day
for five Primary schools to help children think about
what secondary school would be like.
Last term 220 Year 5 students from local primary
schools joined together with Marriotts Year 9 and
10 students to enjoy a team building day filled with
activities.
One of the Heroes from Year 10 said “I didn’t want
the day to end, the Year 5s were brilliant, they
worked together with other students from schools

they didn’t know and when the day ended they left
Marriotts smiling and confident.”
The Year 5 staff who accompanied the students
were really pleased to be offered the opportunity as
it is difficult to organise events that are free and
local. They felt it was a positive step for their
children towards considering what secondary
school would be like.
The event was delivered by Marriotts students that
have been trained up as ‘Heroes’ and want to
continue with the work. The message is ‘Be Kind’
which is part of the Marriotts School motto ‘Aim
high. Work hard. Be kind’.
This is the second year this event has taken place
and Marriotts will continue to work with Primary
Schools to promote 5Live Day to support parents
and children considering their future schools.
WE Day
WE Day is a concert held for students across the UK
but where tickets cannot be bought: they have to
be earned.
Sheen, Craig and Mark Keilburger, the co-founders
of WE Day and many others talked about social
issues which effect people within our community or
around the world.
Marriotts School in particular have been inspired
after such an amazing day out and plan on raising
over two thousand pounds by next year for
organisations partnered with WE Day.
One of the key messages we learnt in order to help
change the way the world works is: ‘you must turn
ME into WE and make a change’.
Science Week
This year Marriotts celebrated Science Week with
style. We had two prestigious Universities visiting us
and delivering a series of exciting activities for all
the students. Year 7 enjoyed taking part in
interactive, inflatable planetarium sessions where
they learnt about stellar constellations and our
Solar System. Year 8 took part in hands-on
meteorites activities, where they had a chance to
see real meteorites brought to us by Martian
students of The Royal Holloway University of
London. Year 9 students had a chance to take part
in the Sound Show lecture, delivered by The Open
University, where they learnt about sound waves.
Years 10 and 11 students were invited to listen to
the University style lecture about the
electromagnetic spectrum and different types of
waves.
Marriotts School was one of many schools who
earned tickets to attend. Fourteen students
attended the SSE Arena in London.
Children and young adults of all ages gathered to
celebrate the good work we all do to make the
world a better place.
Many performers and motivational speakers
attended providing support and help to charities:
Shawn Mendez, Bars and Melody, Years and Years,
Mr. Probz and Conor Maynard performed amazingly
and had the crowd on their feet.
Kweku Mandela, the grandson of social activist
Nelson Mandela, Award-winning actor Martin
The Science Faculty organised a Magic Science show
where science teachers performed magic
experiments. Mr George turned wine into water!
This year the ‘Are you smarter than your teacher?’
quiz winners were a team of Year 7 students who

proved to be smarter than the Science teachers …
very impressive!
The Science Department would like to thank all
students for taking an active part in this year’s
Science Week. Next year there will be more exciting
events taking place around the school – see you in
2016.
Gambia Project
In April five members of Marriotts staff travelled to
The Gambia to take part in a weeks’ voluntary work
undertaking a building project that was started
earlier this year with Stevenage FC.
THE MARRIOTTS COUNSELLING AND TRAINING
ACADEMY
Since the launch of the Marriotts Counselling and
Training Academy in February 2014 we are
delighted to announce the provision of a complete
range of Counselling Training courses at levels 2 to 4
for young people and adults. One day workshops
are also available.
The Academy offers courses in Effective Listening
Skills which give students in schools, aged 14 and
upwards, 3 credits towards future studies.
We are committed to developing learning and
teaching that promotes growth and enhances
employability.
Marriotts has been working hard over the past six
months to set up partnerships with local schools
and discussing the projects we will be working with
over the next few years.
The aim for this year’s trip was to find projects that
will enable Marriotts students and members of the
local community to visit The Gambia in future years.
The school has managed to collect over 400 pencil
cases from students and the wider community.
These were given to the students of the Anne Marie
Johouvey School. The students were very grateful to
have received such gifts and thanked all who
donated them.
We are pleased to announce that Marriotts will be
leading this project in 2016 and will be taking
students out to The Gambia to continue with the
great work already started. We expect this venture
to be a great opportunity for sixth formers to travel
and experience life in a West African country.
If you would like further information please contact
Mrs Maddy Faichen, Counselling Manager at the
school.
TEA PARTY
We would like to congratulate students who were
selected to attend the Tea Party’s on Wednesday 18
March and Friday 1st May. Students were able to
attend from 2.30pm to celebrate their
achievements in good attendance, progress and
behaviour. We hope they all enjoyed a pleasant
afternoon.

ATTENDANCE REWARDS
On Friday 1st May a special rewards event took
place during lunchtime to over 400 students. Every
Friday (Week 1) a raffle will take place for all
students who have 100% attendance for the
previous two weeks. All students who qualify will be
handed a raffle ticket on the morning of the draw
and entered into a Raffle Fruit Machine.
Prizes were awarded to:

We would like to congratulate all students who
were entered for the award and look forward to
more names being added in the near future.
YEAR 7 BASKETBALL
The school’s Year 7 Basketball Team had a very
successful first season in which they finished 2nd in
their league with 4 wins and 1 loss. The final game,
away to St. Christopher’s, was won by Marriotts 5723. Nine of the boys got on the score sheet with 3
players finishing with double figures in points. Piotr
Perlik (13), Sam Galatis (12) and Callum AllcockGreen (10). Eighteen boys have represented the
school over the 5 matches. All season long the team
worked hard and were a real credit to the school.
They were an absolute pleasure to coach.
1st prize – unclaimed - (Ticket number 275) – £50
shopping voucher.
2nd prize to Shenelle Davis (Year 7) – £20 shopping
voucher.
ROAD SHOWS
In April a small group of our newly appointed Year 8
and 9 Sports Leaders have been attending sessions
at six of our local primary schools completing in the
'Marriotts 2015 Road Show Events'.
The events focussed on promoting the school’s
ethos - Aim High. Work hard. Be Kind. The Sports
Leaders run the sessions and encourage Year 5

pupils to target and challenge themselves and work
as a member of a team.
Marriotts Sports Leaders are positive role models to
the Year 5 students, they encourage good
behaviour and motivate them to achieve, whilst
developing their own communication, planning and
analysis skills.
To finalise the event the primary students will be
attending Marriotts for a full day of activities and
new challenges including trampolining, gymnastics,
football, dance, badminton and many more events
in the near future. The Road Show cup's, which
represent each strand of our ethos, will be
appointed to the selected primary schools when
they attend Marriotts.
The event has brought together students of
differing ages who may not normally interact
together.
The events have been very positive and we look
forward to the up and coming sessions.
EXAMINATION CERTIFICATES
Can we please remind students and parents that
Examination Certificates can be collected from the
Exams Office. If a student has a brother/sister who
has now left the school, these certificates can be
collected on their behalf. Please note all certificates
will require a signature upon collection.
SCHOOLCOMMS
We have been using Schoolcomms now for a few
weeks and have found it to be very effective when
communicating with parents.
As a parent/carer you should have access to the
school gateway login (details below). The login is for
the Priority 1 contact where the student lives, and
you will be able to view:



Your child’s latest timetable.
Behaviour for Learning, points and action.
Achievements on the day and what they are
for.

Your contact details. You will be able to
message the school with any changes to
your home or mobile numbers from this
portal.
From time to time, we send information to parents
via text message to your mobile phone. A new, free,
smartphone app for parents is now available for
download called ‘School Gateway’ for Apple (iPhone
3GS or later, iPad, iPod Touch) and Android (2.3 /
gingerbread or later) devices.
If you have not already done so please download
this new app to your phone as it will help us
improve communication with parents. Further
information and how to download this app to your
phone, is available on the school’s website at
www.marriotts.herts.sch.uk.
EMERGENCY CLOSURE AND BAD WEATHER
If we have very bad weather or other emergencies
that prevent the school from opening, please listen
for announcements on BOB FM (106.7 and 106.9).
Information will also be available at
www.hertsdirect.org.
Please note that although we will continue to notify
local radio in the event of an emergency closure
and will update the website as soon as we are able,
our primary method of communication will be by
text to the number identified as the primary
parent/carer for each of the students in the school.
As a result of this, it is essential that we have your
up-to-date mobile phone number. If you are unsure
whether or not you have notified us of your mobile
number, please send a note to the school with your
contact details and a request for your number to be
checked on the system.
Please discuss with your child what you would want
them to do in the event of any sudden closure
during the day, i.e. should they go to a designated
friend’s house. This is especially important for
students who do not live locally.
CONTACT DETAILS
It is vital that we have up-to-date contact
information for you on our database. We are
sending most correspondence out electronically

North Entrance
We would like to remind you that that the gates at
the North entrance in Telford Avenue will be closed
daily at 9.00am and re-open again at 3.00pm at the
end of the school day. If students arrive after this
time they will need to make their way to the main
school entrance in Brittain Way.
Visitors
We would also like to remind you that if you are
visiting the school you should do so via the main
entrance in Brittain Way and report to Reception.
