DEAR PARENTS, CARERS, STUDENTS AND STAFF

Another great half term at Marriotts School is

drawing to a close and I would like to thank staff,

students and parents for their on-going support

of our school. We continue to move forward with

our ambition to be the best possible school that

we can be for our young people. This term has

been particularly challenging for year 11, 12 and

13 students who have worked incredibly hard to

do well in their examinations which have just

started. Students and staff alike have

demonstrated huge commitment, attending extra

revision sessions after school and at weekends.

Everyone has worked unbelievably hard and we

wish all of our students the best of luck over the

coming weeks.

Behaviour for learning at Marriotts continues to

improve as we begin to embed our student

charter. Our behaviour policy had just been

revamped and will shortly be available for

parents to view on the website, having been

ratified by governors last week.

We would like to thank our fantastic new Year

Managers and Pastoral/SEND Assistant Heads

along with our existing pastoral team for all the

work that they are doing to improve our school.

Attendance continues to improve this year but

can I make a special plea to parents to ensure

that their children are in school on time every

day. Lateness, unnecessary absence and holidays

in term time have a hugely detrimental effect on

students’ progress as you will see from the

attendance section later in this newsletter.

We would like to remind parents about our

uniform expectations. We expect all our students

to be in full uniform all of the time. We would like

to point out that trainers, leggings and piercings

are not allowed at any time.

Another key factor which will help students to

concentrate in school is diet. Students must

ensure they are having a healthy breakfast and

eating the right things throughout the day. They

should try to avoid eating sugary snacks during

school hours as this adversely affects their

concentration. I would like to thank parents for

their continued assistance in this. You will notice

from later in this newsletter that we are banning

energy drinks in this school.

You will also see later in the letter the many

rewards out students receive for good conduct

and progress. I am particularly impressed by the

increasing numbers of learning legends we have

in school and the number of students who are

bringing work to me when they receive

Headteachers commendations. We are

continually developing our rewards and I want to

congratulate all students who Aim high, Work

hard and Are kind every day.

As we move into the summer term there are

more trips and visits taking place and I would like

to thank all staff and students who took part in

the recent trips to Germany for representing the

school so well.

This term we have continued to grow our staff

team ready for our new Year 7 group which is

oversubscribed and I’m happy to announce we

have made several outstanding appointments in

English, Geography, Business Studies and

Mathematics.

I’m sure that like myself and all the Marriotts

team you are delighted that we continue to grow

and improve. I wish you a restful half term break.

WAR HORSE THEATRE TRIP REVIEW

On Wednesday 2 April

approximately 30 Year 7

students who had worked

well and had been well-

behaved throughout the

two previous terms went to watch War Horse at

the New London Theatre in Drury with Miss

Stewart, Miss Hearn, Mrs Matharu and Mr

Vavala.

We went to watch the theatre production as we

were studying War Horse last half-term. During

the lessons, we read the book by Michael

Morpurgo and watched the film so the English

department thought it would be a good idea for

us to go and watch the theatre production and

see the interpretation of the amazing story.

During the production, I thought the

puppeteering was so outstanding to the degree

that we forgot that the animals were not real. I

felt that the theatre production was going to be

very challenging to ensure it was equally as good

as the film, but in my opinion it exceeded my

expectations.

Everyone that went on the trip thoroughly

enjoyed themselves and wished that they could

see the production again. Nobody wanted it to

end although it was a very late evening. I believe

that it was extremely

beneficial and

educational.

Thank you to all of

the teachers for

taking us!

Kayleigh Perry – Year 7

HISTORY BATTLEFIELDS TRIP 11-12 JULY 2014 A trip has been planned to the First World War Battlefields of Belgium in the Summer Term 2014. This trip will tie in with the Year 9 History curriculum in which students will have studied the First World War. It is a wonderful opportunity to visit historical sites – an important aspect of the study of history. It is also a chance to commemorate the war dead of Hertfordshire, Great Britain and the Empire.

The provisional itinerary includes visits to Hill 62

and Hill 60 near Ypres, the museum in Ypres,

Menin Gate in Ypres and Tyne Cot and Langemark

Cemeteries. We will be staying in Ypres with the

battlefields in close proximity.

COMENIUS-FUNDED EDUCATIONAL VISIT TO

HAMBURG, GERMANY: WEDNESDAY 9 - SUNDAY

13 APRIL 2014

Mrs A Taylor and four Year 9 students (Liam Spraggs, Conor Stewart, Alfie Aylott and Keiran Cross) were excited to take part in the Comenius project ‘Good Food Good Mood’, travelling to Hamburg in Germany for five days. Mrs Taylor said that two of the boys had not flown before and the excitement began as they took off from Luton on the 9 April. ‘The trip was a fascinating few days of culture experiences and fun, with the first day held at the Gymnasium Finkenwerder, (the German School) where the boys met with all the other students and teachers that took part in the Comenius project. During the school day the boys listened to all the projects that each delegation had prepared and it was so impressive to see all the schools presenting in very good

English, our students were impressed but glad they didn’t have to present in another language!

Delivering the presentation on Good Food

All the boys at the Hamburg Hard Rock Cafe

The whole group of schools that attended the Comenius project including schools from Romania, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Holland, Italy, Scotland and Germany.

On the second

day we took a

visit to a

Russian non –

nuclear

submarine U-

434, which was a really fascinating experience along

with eating out in a Turkish restaurant.

The third day was spent on another boat the Cap

San Diego which was a really interesting Cargo

ship, the boys also had the chance to do a little

shopping in Hamburg - they found a Subway

sandwich shop and were happy with their

purchases. The last full day was spent at the

Minature Wonderland which was amazing, a

great hobby of the Germans by all accounts!

Lastly, but by no means least, a great farewell

party was held on a boat travelling up and down

the river Elbe which is the second largest port in

Europe. All the students enjoyed music from their

iPods for the entertainment, which was an

interesting mix along with a hearty Cornish pasty

and a late night. Finally it was the last day and all

the students were sad to say goodbye to each

other after such a great trip‘.

GERMAN LANGUAGE TRIP TO HAMBURG

The annual Marriotts German exchange with Gymnasium Finkenwerder is an excellent and beneficial experience for all! Firstly, you meet so many new friends and have the

opportunity to live a German style of life for a whole week. Every day is jam-packed with school experiences, excursions and local activities! This year was the second time I have visited Germany, however for this occasion I partook in a work experience programme. This was enjoyable plus productive and it was a real treat to work in a German class with its pupils. I really got a lot out of it such as language and people skills, confidence, an insight into German teaching, new

vocabulary as well as improvement on my pronunciation in my German speaking. I decided to come for a second year as in 2013 I had an amazing time and everyone was so friendly. Also it’s not every day you can do work experience in a different country! While we were in Hamburg it was the Harbour’s 825th birthday. The streets were filled with intriguing and traditional German stalls along with tremendous atmosphere even though it was a bit drizzly. By Katie On Tuesday the 13th of May we went to Lüneburg, which is a small town about thirty minutes away from Finkenwerder. Not only is it a great place for shopping but also a beautiful and historical place. One of my favourite buildings is the church with the wonky tower, which was built by the drunken builder. After arriving at the town hall we were allowed to go off shopping and sightseeing in groups. Me, Kirsten, Alia, Sarah, Mollie and Tabea went for McDonalds before exploring and shopping. As we had come the previous year Mollie and I were able to guide the others, which was nice after a week of our exchange partners helping us. Before heading back to Finkenwerder we also went swimming in the local pool. Not only did it have an outside pool, an inside pool and two hot tubs but also an awesome slide which was very fun. As well as relaxing I also got a quick swimming lesson from Alfie. Unfortunately we missed our train so had to wait an hour, but this was a great excuse for a second McDonalds! After the train and ferry we arrived back in Finkenwerder at seven o’clock. The exchange was a great experience. Not only did it help with my pronunciation and understanding of German but also with my knowledge of German culture. I also made a lot of new friends, who I am now very close to. By Freya For most of the students on the exchange, it was their first time going. But for me, Freya, Hannah, Katie and Lizzie, it was our second time. Some of us came back because we missed Germany and wanted to re-live the experience, some of us

because we wanted to see our old exchange partners, even if it was just once. Others came back because they wanted to work on their German pronunciation and learn new words and phrases, they wanted to know more about the culture, and, most importantly, they wanted to help out the German students with their English. But, I do think that there is one reason why we all came back - the food. By Mollie

BTEC END OF COURSE CONCERTS

Marriotts students hosted two final concerts last

half-term with the Year 11s and the Year 12/13

performing highly successful BTEC concerts to a

large audience of parents, peers teachers and

students.

SIMPLIFYING TRACKING OF KS3 STUDENTS

As a school we are looking to simplify the way we track students’ progress throughout their KS3 pathway. This will be based on clear assessment which will be specifically related to key skills they need in each subject. This system will enable students to know exactly where they are and how to improve as they will be able to quickly identify the skill areas where they are not fully secure. We will update parents as we develop this area. HOMEWORK The school is continuing to improve its approach to Homework. Homework from all subject areas and year groups will be updated on the website during the first week back after the half-term. As a school we are looking at ways to improving the system for next academic year to make it easier and more flexible. We will update you as we move forward. TEACHING AND LEARNING We are continuously driving to improve standards of teaching and learning. There have been significant improvements this year. Regular staff training, and rigorous monitoring and tracking has supported these improvements. We have particularly focused on improving

marking and homework over the last half term. We have continued to develop and improve the behaviour and rewards systems in class with the use of a 'student charter'. This has been produced in liaison with the student council to ensure that the students have an input in classroom practice at Marriotts. Students have also observed teachers and fed back to them. This project has included a visit from 12 students from another school to complete joint observations and feedback with the students. As we continue to move forward we will continue to concentrate on five key focus areas: 1) Lesson non-negotiables: all staff are provided with a list of lesson non-negotiables that are expected at Marriotts which include always having a clear starter to engage the students straight into their learning and tasks to track students learning throughout the lesson. 2) Questioning: for engagement and progress 3) Marking 4) Homework 5) Assessment for learning: students knowing their grade/level, and how to get to the next grade/level ATTENDANCE Our overall attendance is currently 93%, which is

up be a whole ‘percent’ on this this time last year.

Therefore, we again seem to be making good

progress towards successfully achieving our

target of 96%. We would like to thank students,

parents and carers for their continued support.

Here are a few tips to help us reach our goal:

Holidays should be booked outside of

term time.

Medical appointments, where possible,

should be made at the end of the school

day. We are aware that circumstances do

not always allow for this but the



Page 6

expectation that students should attend

school before/after the appointment.

Our registers close at 9am, students

arriving after this time accrue an

unauthorised morning session which

impacts their attendance and that of the

school.

MARRIOTTS SIXTH FORM Mr Illingworth and I would like to congratulate

the current year 12 and 13 students for their

positivity and co-operation in the launch of the

new Sixth Form at Marriotts School. Students

have settled into the new bespoke sixth form

area and have being working hard in preparation

for the AS and A-level examinations, as well as

ensuring all BTEC work is completed to a high

standard.

After the half term break our current Year 12

students will begin their Year 13 studies. Teaching

begins for these courses on June 2nd and runs all

the way to the end of the summer term. On

Tuesday 17th June all year 12 students are invited

to attend a trip to Alexandra Palace to visit the

Hertfordshire UCAS Convention which will allow

them to gather information from a wide range of

universities to assist in their applications to

Higher Education. We will be launching the UCAS

application process after Half term.

We are delighted to have over 80 students from

our current Year 11 apply to attend Marriotts

Sixth Form in September. We have planned an

exciting induction programme including; study

skills sessions, taster lessons, ‘Wise Up’ at

Barnwell School as well as a visit to the University

of Bedfordshire. This induction programme will

run from 8.40 am on Monday 7th July and finish at

4.00pm Wednesday 9th July and is compulsory for

all students wishing to join the Marriotts Sixth

Form in September.

We have been impressed with the conduct of our

students but would like to remind all students the

following are a basic expectations every day.

Arrive at school every day for registration at 8:30am. Only on their allocated ‘enrichment day’, or when guesting at other consortium schools may they not be in the school building

Remain in school for all directed study periods

Register with Mr Illingworth during every study period

Be an active member of their form and take up opportunities and guidance offered through our tutor time programme

Arrive on time to all their lessons and study periods

Wear the correct dress code (Business Dress)

Conduct themselves in a positive manner and be a role model for all students at Marriotts School

Actively participate in timetabled enrichment activities and become a role model within the school

Good Luck to all students for the rest of their

exams and we look forward to sharing in your

success on the results day on the 14th August.

Mr Winter and Mr Illingworth.

INTRODUCTION OF NEW STAFF Suzanne Thrower

I am Suzanne Thrower the new Assistant Head of SEND, Gifted and Talented and Personalised learning. This is a timely appointment with the new SEND Code of Practice coming into practice from September. I am a retired police officer from the Metropolitan Police who subsequently became the SENCo at Presdales School in Ware, an outstanding school. I am really excited to be here at Marriotts and I am looking forward to helping to facilitate change by using my knowledge and recently acquired MA in Inclusive Education (SEN) to move Marriotts forward. Lesley Tether

I am Lesley Tether and am the new Assistant

Head, with responsibility for Pastoral Care. My

role is to help ensure that every student at

Marriotts feels that they are part of a caring and

supportive environment, that enables them to

flourish and reach their potential. By potential I

don’t just mean leaving school with a number of

qualifications but also with the personal qualities

and life skills which will enable them to achieve

their life goals. Part of my responsibility is to

develop the pastoral programme and embed that

with the school ethos and values. These values

would include students that are caring and

respectful to all members of the school

community, whilst also having a positive attitude

to learning. Student will at times sometimes fall

short of our expectations, if so we expect them to

accept the consequences and learn from the

experience. We will help as much as possible to

get them back on the right track and we

appreciate all the support that parents give us in

these circumstances. It is also essential as a

school that we recognise when students are

doing their best and reward them accordingly.

My role as rewards co-ordinator is a central part

of my job and an enjoyable one too. I hope to

help ensure that all students feel valued and are

encouraged to make a positive contribution to

school life. I also hope to build on the school’s

existing enrichment activities as students can gain

so much from these.

ENERGY DRINKS

We are banning energy drinks in

our school. Drinks such as Monster,

Red Bull and Relentless are packed

with sugar and caffeine. The British

Soft Drinks Association states that

energy drinks are not suitable for

children and some supermarkets,

such as Morrisons, refuse to sell energy drinks to

under 16s.

Some 500ml cans contain more than

13 teaspoons of sugar and 160mg of

caffeine – which is about the same as

in four cans of cola.

Too much caffeine can cause hyperactivity and sleeping problems. Many people have reported feeling sick, shaky and dizzy and they have been associated with speedy heartbeats or palpitations. And the excessive sugar loads the body with

calories and can cause weight gain.

Energy drinks brought into school will be confiscated.

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 now, so you are informed immediately of current news/events. If we do not hold an email for Contact 1 then any correspondence home will be handed to your child via the register. Please visit the “Contact Us” page on www.marriotts.herts.sch.uk This is one way of sending your new or updated details and we will amend upon receipt.
