Heathfield Headlines

The first example was seeing Year 11 in the hall on Tuesday, preparing to go into their first

GCSE exam. Receiving their last minute reminders, the buzz and anticipation in the room

was tangible. They knew they were ready, they felt confident and there was a real sense of

“lets get on with this; we know we can do well.” I was incredibly proud of them and their

Science staff for arriving at the right time, in the right way. I have every faith in them for

this exam season.

The second occasion this week was talking with some students about an entry we have been

asked to submit for a book that will be released later this year. This is the second year

running we have been asked to be a case study for an educational publication, showcasing

some of the best practise in the country. In this instance the authors wanted student

perspectives on the College, what did they enjoy, what had they experienced. It was

wonderful to hear the answer to the question ‘who is your favourite teacher was: “ All of

them, I can’t choose! All the teachers at Heathfield Community College are amazing.

That’s what all my friends say whenever we talk about it and why we come here.”

Finally, this week the sun came out and our beautiful grounds came into their own. I could

not help but reflect on my good fortune to be able to spend my lunchtime outside, talking

to cheerful and interesting young people, in-between their cartwheeling and football

kicking, relaxed, happy and active. They are witty, caring and enthusiastic for their learning

and life.

Sadly, I cannot transport you to our world everyday but do take a glance at the pages here

and feel reassured that our young people are an impressive group of whom we have every

right to be collectively proud. Thank you as always to the parents and carers who work with

us in this collaborative effort that is our College.

You only have to spend a short

amount of time with our students

and they will energise and renew

your spirit. They are incredible

young people. Like most grown-

ups, we can be prone to moments

of grumpiness when things don’t

go our way or feel fair. In College

we try to ensure that no matter

how difficult our day might be,

our interactions with students are

positive and more often than not

this can be a tonic in itself.

I felt the full force of that tonic

this week in a number of ways:

Once again, we have had another busy fortnight at the College. Over the bank holiday

weekend, we saw Year 13 A-level physics students visiting CERN, Switzerland: a great

opportunity for them to further their in-depth knowledge in preparation for exams.

In College, students have had the opportunity to take part in the second ' Super

curriculum' fortnight: a fantastic chance for students to broaden their knowledge on

those subjects that they are most passionate about, preparing them for the future by

opening many doors in off-syllabus topics.

Year 9 had their collapsed curriculum day, developing their employability skills with

over 35 external visitors showing Heathfield's link to the wider world of work.

Workshops were run to discuss and develop soft skills as students consider their

contribution to society.

Year 7 experienced their first ever parents' evening at Heathfield, receiving wonderful

feedback which will help them shape their fulfilling journey at the College.

On Monday the long-awaited GCSE exam seasons started. We are ever so proud of how

well everyone has been preparing and dealt with this first week. We wish you all the

best for the rest of them: just keep going how you are!

Today marks Year 13s last day at Heathfield. We also wish them all the best for their

exams and the incredibly bright futures awaiting all of them; they will be missed.

Last Friday, we were fortune enough to be visited by Baroness Andrews which was

greatly beneficial to Economics students.

DUKE OF EDINBURGH AWARD SCHEME: TENT PITCHING

More information about the award can be obtained

from Ms Harker: [email protected]

In total we pitched in excess of 25 tents in the 2 hours; identifying damage or missing

parts; cleaning the insides; and packing them back away. Whilst the ground conditions

were perfect it must have been the windiest afternoon in April making putting away

extremely interesting! As always, our amazing participants leapt to the challenges and

displayed some great teamwork.

The after school Duke of Edinburgh session was extended last week for us to rummage

through the tent store in preparation for the expedition season. Our aim was twofold:

firstly for all the participants to get to a proficient level of tent pitching and to

allocate the tents for each team; secondly, our focus was to see the condition of our

donated tents.

Engaged & Enthusiastic

We would like to pass on our congratulations to our

first successful Silver Duke of Edinburgh Award cohort.

Lydia Smith, Liv Crane, and Isla Howlett were awarded

their lapel badges and certificates yesterday supported

by Maesie Lane and Anna Hersey-Swan who received

their certificates earlier in the year.

The award involves four sections: volunteering for 6

months; learning or honing a skill and completing a

physical activity (one for 3 months and the other for 6

months); completing two expedition weekends of 3

days and 2 nights.

A superb achievement and one to be proud of.

Certainly one to put on future applications to college,

universities or employment to stand out from the

crowd.

SILVER D of E SUCCESS

VOLUNTARY DONATION

Events & Notices

By way of update and thanks we wanted to let you know how the voluntary donations have

been used this year to benefit students in a range of ways:

• To support motivational speakers to lift the spirits of Year 11 and Year 10 at different

points of the year.

• To provide funds for the Executive School Council who have chosen to invest this in

additional sports equipment, to support the Eco Reps with new recycling bins and bird

boxes and also to assist with the purchase of a new Salad Bar for the canteen.

• To provide for the equipment needed for our student leadership strands such as the

Radio Station and HTV.

• Additional board games as requested by students to run lunchtime activities inside.

We are delighted that we have secured the impressive speaker, author and advocate on

mental health, Natasha Devon MBE, as our Honours Speaker this year, in addition she will

be doing workshops with students during the day so that the maximum number of students

can benefit from her powerful messages on mental health and wellbeing.

In addition, at the end of the year some funds will contribute to the redesign and

modernisation of the Library and redecoration of parts of the school outside our normal

cycle of upkeep.

Ambitious & Curious

For some of the Year 13, the visit to

Geneva, Switzerland, to see the world-

renowned research centre of CERN was a

was not only a great opportunity to see

cutting edge scientific work but their first

time flying. As such, the group were

extremely excited and the trip and

experience more than lived up to

expectations. The city of Geneva was

admired by all and provided an excellent

backdrop for the trip. Despite the weather,

which was less than perfect, pupils made

the most of their time to explore and find

their own experiences of what Geneva had

to offer.

The focus of the trip was the visit to CERN

(Conseil Européen pour la Recherche

Nucléaire) itself. An early start on Saturday

morning and a short tram ride took us out

of the city and to the foot of the Alps were

CERN is situated. In the morning, we had a

3-hour tour of the facilities and lecture

about the works and developments that

have been made in CERN.

YEAR 13 VISIT TO CERN, SWITZERLAND

This was truly enlightening as pupils gained a

sense of the vastness of the facility, the

collaboration between the participating

countries, and the depth of scientific work

that goes on there. Highlights of the tour

included a trip into France to see the

Cryogenic test facility (the coldest place on

Earth and one of the coldest in the

universe). Following our tour, the 2 exhibits

provided extra insight into the workings of

such a vast and important scientific

institute.

The whole trip was rounded off nicely with a

visit to the Swiss Natural History museum,

showcasing the evolution of humans with a

display of ‘Lucy’, which shows hominids

developed bipedal gait about 3.5 million

years ago… as well as the extraordinary 2

headed tortoise!

In all, students left the trip with a deepened

and more enthused interest for not only

physics but science in general.

Summer sports have started and the opening event of Kwick stoolball tournaments saw

the Year 7, 8, 9 and 10 girls’ teams start with a flourish of 4s and 6s resulting in all teams

winning their respective age group tournaments. Well done to all those girls involved with

in particular some students representing the college for the first time in a fixture.

KWIK STOOLBALL

With the initial tournament cancelled before Easter due to poor weather, the Year 7 teams

recently played their end of season netball tournament. This event also doubled up as the

Specsavers Schools Games qualifying event to represent the North Wealden Warriors in the

Sussex Schools Games in June. Two Heathfield teams took part. The B team came 5th and

were the highest placed B team, as they also competed against the A teams. The A team

finished as convincing winners, winning all their games and scoring 31 goals in total and

only conceding 2. Well done to all those students who took part and represented the

college so well a great set of results, good luck to the Year 7s who now qualify for the

Sussex Schools Games. Particular thanks goes to Year 10 young leader Mattea Rendell who

umpired for the Heathfield B team throughout the tournament. Ms Cobbold said, “All the

games were played to a good standard with the Heathfield players showing commitment

and determination throughout with strength in depth.”

SPECSAVERS SCHOOLS GAMES LEVEL 2 PRIMARY TENNIS EVENT

An overcast and shower-threatening day welcomed the first School Games event of the

year for Years 3 & 4 from Heathfield area primary schools. The Road to Eastbourne

Tennis event culminates in the county finals being held in Eastbourne on the qualifying

Saturday of the Nature Valley International Men’s and Women’s tennis events, where

those successful qualifying school players and supporters once they have competed also

gain free access to Devonshire Park to watch the international matches.

The 5 schools competing in the Heathfield family round took part in tennis multi skill

relay races, skill events and doubles matches. All schools gained points for their 1st- 5th

finishing positions in each activity held. Dallington were the winners and they go through

to represent Heathfield in the North Wealden Partnership event being held in May at

Weald Tennis Nick Matthews for supporting the afternoon. Additional thanks also go to

the fabulous year 9 leaders who helped to officiate and score at this event, for some

young leaders this was their very first time leading. Their support is much appreciated

by Ms Cobbold and all the schools. Without them, the event would not be able to take

place.

The teachers and Year 3 & 4 students said during the event, ‘I can’t believe they are

only Year 9 and it’s there first time leading. They are so confident and mature.’ ‘The

leaders are lovely with the little ones.’ ‘They are giving really clear instructions and they

are encouraging and motivating.’ ‘They’re friendly and fun’.

As A Level exam season looms, we have to say goodbye to our brilliant student Editor,

Louisa Dollimore, who has led The Heathfield Vine so impressively for the past two

years.

Louisa has presided over significant growth and development in The Vine, producing

high quality termly issues with varied contributions from students across the school.

She has also taken our student newspaper to its highest level of success yet with its

shortlisting last year in four separate categories of the National Shine Student Media

Awards, where it stood proudly against publications from some of the leading

independent schools in the country.

FAREWELL TO THE EDITOR OF THE HEATHFIELD VINE

“Louisa has been an absolutely fabulous

editor,' said Ms Savage, who supervises the

online publication. 'Her talent for writing

clear, engaging stories is evident and her

ability to encourage and develop younger

writers has been wonderful to behold. We

shall miss her enormously. Following a round

of interviews last week, a new team has been

appointed to take us into next year.”

The role of editor will be taken up by

Georgina Sharma in Year 12, with two

deputy posts to be held by Amelia

Lorrimore in Year 11 and Lottie Macro in

Year 10.

As ever, contributions are always welcome

from any student in any year group. The

editorial team meet on Monday lunchtimes

in Room 13.

HOW THE PUBLIC VIEW HEATHFIELD STUDENTS

Honesty and Integrity

If your son or daughter needs to take any medication during the College day you should

inform Mrs Millis in the Student Support Office at [email protected] or

telephone 01435 866066 Ext 1203. Students should not keep the medicine with them

during the school day.

You will also need to complete the parental consent form that can be found on the

College website at

If you require any further information, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs Millis.

ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICINES

In recent Headlines we have shared feedback from members of the public who have contacted us to let us know what they experienced when meeting our students out and about. Sometime students don’t think we know, or get to hear, about their life outside College …. but we do!

Some of the most powerful feedback sometimes is to gain a flavour of the things members of the community say without ever intending for us to know or hear! Here is a flavour of things we have been told as overheard….

Our staff equally have a stellar reputation. We were recently informed by a potential partner, “Oh I don’t need to wait to find out. I have heard all about your College; the reputation is sterling and we really want to work with you.”

We thoroughly enjoyed delivering to Heathfield

students yesterday; they were great to work with and they came up with some really great

ideas.

I attended a board meeting the other day and the stand at the

Eastbourne Careers Fair was mentioned. The team commented

on the large number of schools present and how unruly most were with the exception of the students

from Heathfield Community College. They stood out with their good manners, presentation and

general behaviour.

Compassionate & Considerate

During Term 5 we have been working as hard as ever to continue

to make our College as green as can be! Our main focus has been

on the beautifully recycled bird boxes, Seed to Feed and

purchasing two new large recycle bins.

ECO REPS UPDATE

Our herb garden is taking form in our planters in the Quad area. We all enjoyed the

planting and we are now dedicated to nurturing them and providing our Food

Technology Department with our efforts to enhance their practical sessions.

Eco-Reps are also very lucky to be supported by our fantastic Facilities and Design

Technology departments. Mr Page made us four new bird boxes out of recycled

College materials, our logos were sign written and added to them by Mr Stidder and

they were put up around the site by Mr Palmer and his team. We hope to soon be

seeing more of our beaked friends and their young around the college as a result!

We remain committed to enhancing our recycling effort and our new bins will have

simple step instructions on them to follow - watch this space!

ON-LINE SAFETY

DID YOU KNOW?

We all have that friend who thinks it’s funny to sneak into your Social Media account and

post embarrassing comments on your behalf. It’s a laugh isn’t it?

Not really…….because what this means is that you’ve left yourself logged into the account

when away from the device that you normally use.

On modern smart phones that’s the whole point: you get updated instantly all of the time

and you don’t have to “faff” around logging in when sending updates or pictures yourself.

But how many apps on your devices do you leave logged in all the time? On how many

websites have you ticked the “Remember me” button or said yes to that pop-up that asks

you “would you like Internet Explorer / Chrome / Safari” etc to remember your

password? How much of your private information do you allow a computer to auto-fill for

you?

All of these are great and helpful things – as long as you never let that device out of your

sight or ever let anyone else use it.

At best you just have a few more online conversations about what “so and so” wrote

behind your back. At worst you could be allowing someone else to set you up as a cyber-

bully or you could be giving your identity (and therefore your money) to a fraudster

without even realising it.

Be careful about keeping anything logged in when you are not using it or about allowing

auto-fill on fields when shopping online.

YEAR 11 ENGLISH AND MATHS AWAY DAY

30 Year 11 students were given a wonderful opportunity to spend a day off-site. The

focus for the day was to intensively work on their English and Maths skills just ahead of

the start of the exam season.

Students travelled by mini-bus to a conference room at Wellshurst Golf Club and spent

the day sharpening their algebraic skills, their knowledge of the poetry anthology

amongst other numeracy and literary topics.

All students worked extremely hard and were a credit to the school. Mia Austin Taylor

said, “I’ve got so much work done today.” Holly Brown commented that the day “was

useful.” A key message of the day was that with hard work everything is achievable. It

was one students embraced.

The staff at the venue were also very complimentary about our students saying, “They

are so polite and well-behaved. They’re lovely.”

The English and maths departments wish students the very best of luck in their

upcoming English and maths exams but in also all of their other exams.
