Beehive Lane Primary School win GBHS Spellcasters Competition 202...

On Thursday 25th May we were joined by four of our local primary schools, Baddow Hall Junior School, Barnes Farm Junior School, Beehive Lane Primary School and St. Andrews Junior School, for our annual Spellcasters event.  Each school brought along four students who had all been working very hard learning spellings for the competition. There were seven rounds of spellings including individual spellings, team spellings and a surprise round. Every single student was amazing and worked very hard. The scores were extremely close but only one school could win.  A huge congratulations to Beehive Lane for winning yet again! “The Year 5 Spellcasters event was a tremendous success resulting in Beehive Lane winning for the second time in a row. Although they all found this event challenging, entertaining and exciting, all the Year 5s should be extremely proud of themselves for their hard work by answering challenging questions. The student librarians helped the Year 5s with their fantastic teamwork of encouraging them and making sure they are all happy and comfortable.” Laura, Year 9 STUDENT LIBRARIAN QUOTES “The Year 5 should be extremely proud of themselves as they have shown amazing teamwork.” “It was incredible to see their hard work and determination.” “Exceptional work and perseverance were demonstrated by the Year 5s.” “They were all confident in themselves and their team by supporting each other.” “The Year 5s were very polite and tried to get everyone engaged.”

Platinum School Games Award

We are delighted to announce that Great Baddow High School has achieved the School Games Platinum Mark Award for the 2022/23 academic year and is the first secondary school in Chelmsford to reach and achieve Platinum level in the school games. The School Games Mark is a Government-led award scheme launched in 2012, facilitated by the Youth Sport Trust to reward schools for their commitment to the development of competition across their school and into the community, and we are delighted to have been recognised for our success. At Great Baddow High School we offer a wide range of sports and activities, over the years these have adapted and changed with the Student Voice being key in the changes made. We have introduced blocks of work looking at adapted sports such as archery, boccia and kurling. We have made sure that the curriculum for both boys and girls in KS3 matches so that all students get the same opportunities in sports they love. Our House system runs intra house competitions throughout the year giving all students the chance to represent their tutor groups with clear intent on enjoyment and fun. This year we have introduced our Sports Leadership Academy with students from Year 8-13, and we currently have 102 students making up the Leadership Academy. These students get to take part in training at a variety of sports then use the skills learnt and work with the CSSP in delivering events to the Primary schools from across Chelmsford. This has been a huge success and students have really enjoyed being a part of this academy. Every Term as a school we run meetings in Student Voice, a collaboration between House Representatives from each tutor group, and House Captains/Vice Captains. At the Student Voice meetings a wide range of topics crop up including: the school offer in sport, active break and lunch times, active travel to and from school as well as many other areas, all building towards a delivery that the students here at Great Baddow want and love.

Sorrento trip 2023

Sorrento trip 2023

Over the Easter holidays twenty-three students from Great Baddow High School were excited to be going on a 4 day Geography trip to Italy to see the sights of Naples, Pompeii and Sorrento.  Their adventure began at 2.15 am on the 5th April when the sleepy students embarked on the coach outside school which took them to Gatwick Airport. They finally arrived in Naples at around 9.30am and, despite the extreme lack of sleep, they went on an underground tour of the City.  Naples was noisy and colourful but they also saw a lot of deprivation.  Once underground, they descended into the dark and saw an area that had been found when a farmer dug a well. It was originally built in 79AD and had been covered by the Super volcano eruption of Vesuvius. It was an area where the slaves tended their wealthy owners and was fascinating.  There was time for a little shopping  and the boys had a lot of fun haggling with the shop owners.  The next morning they set off for Vesuvius and Pompeii. The views from the coach were impressive but they were all amused, but mainly horrified by how people drove. Yet there seems to be no road rage, it’s all expected and accepted in Italy!  The guide for the ascent of Vesuvius was very knowledgeable and made sure the students all understood that the volcano is active and as it tends to erupt every 80 years, they are all watching and waiting. If it’s another super eruption like in 79 AD it would take 3 days to evacuate the 1 million people living there!  The walk was tough but the views were worth every blister!  The first sight at Pompeii was of the bodies that had been uncovered. Most of the students were shocked at how tiny and fragile they seemed. They got to walk where the Gladiators had fought for their lives against lions and men. To see how people lived 2000 years ago was almost unbelievable.  The next day was an early start and then off to the Amalfi Coast. We did a little shopping in Portofino and our students were incredibly well behaved and polite. Then off to Salerno for lunch and a browse and then they hopped aboard a boat. The skies had cleared and they could see the most stunning views of coloured houses built into the hills and a coastline that took their breath away!  On the last morning there was a trip to Sorrento, a lovely historic town and a chance for some lunch and a final browse before they caught the flight home.  Our students were a real pleasure to be with. They were polite, friendly and very funny! We were very proud to accompany them.  Mrs S English - Communication Support Worker

Half Term Ski Trip to Austria

The school ski trip for Year 8, 9 and 10 students departed on Friday 10th February with students wearing their ski trip hoodies and bags packed full of ski stuff and snacks for the long coach journey ahead. Students arrived in St Johann in Tirol early on Saturday morning and after checking in at their accommodation, Pension Lacknerhof, they organised their ski hire and had ski boots, poles and skis measured for size. Sunday 12th Feb was their first day skiing with students sorted into groups based on their ability level. Groups 1 & 2 spent the morning on the beginners slopes whilst groups 3 & 4 went on to the gondola and up the mountain. On Sunday evening they went to St Johann’s swimming pool which had  both an indoor and an outdoor pool, some slides and a diving board.  On Monday 13th Feb, they had their second day of skiing, the groups were progressing quickly and the instructors were impressed with the determination from our students. On Monday evening, students took part in the Great Baddow High School Talent Show! Students had to come up with their category, plan their outfits and choreography and perform to a panel of judges. There was some great performances, comedy, magic, gymnastics and singing! The winners were the Year 9 boys who performed their rendition of another love which had us all in hysterics. Tuesday was their third day skiing and the groups continued to build in confidence and in the afternoon they watched a ski show which included lots of routines and tricks from the ski instructors. Wednesday was the fourth day skiing where students  met for lunch at the middle stop on the gondola and they had time for a quick snowball fight before another afternoon of skiing. The final day of skiing was on Thursday and the instructors let the groups have a little bit more freedom on this day to try some of their own tricks they had seen on TikTok or that the instructors had told them about.  They also held an awards ceremony which included the following awards: Most improved skier - Alfie Most determined skier- Ewan Most stylish skier - Grace Best fall whilst skiing - George F Biggest comedian- Ronnie Sassiest award - Fern Lass on tour - Sienna Lad on tour - Julien They had an amazing time and the instructors complimented our students on how well they performed and how polite they were throughout the week.

Brilliant Club Scholars Graduate

Brilliant Club Scholars Graduate

Thursday 9th February saw the Graduation of our inaugural cohort of Brilliant Club Scholars. With students suitably dressed in cap and gown we celebrated with parents and carers, ate cake and listened to some beautiful piano music from Year 10 student Noah P. Twenty-seven students from Years 7, 8 & 9 have worked extremely hard since the project commenced in October. This group of more able students visited Christ’s College in Cambridge in November, had face to face tutorials from a world class PHD tutor over the winter and wrote a dissertation (approx. 1500 words each) to answer the conundrum;   ‘How to live a long and happy life’ Comparing different countries, they independently and effectively researched the differing approaches to Medicine, Psychology, Sociology, Politics, Environment, Employment, Economics and the impact of the local Geography. They have developed their resilience, up-skilled their critical thinking, verbal communication and essay writing, they have additionally developed their time management, their ability to work with new people, their understanding of plagiarism and copyright, how to create a bibliography and acknowledge the sources used in their research. Our students each produced a short university level piece of work and have been awarded grades accordingly. With 11 graded 2:2, 5 graded 2:1 and 11 First Class grades, GBHS students astounded the Brilliant Club charity with the high quality of their work. Such standards of excellence are rare and we are truly proud of every one of them. Quotes from The Brilliant Club “I’ve been doing this for a number of years and this is the best cohort of students with the best marks that I have ever seen”    Alex (PHD Tutor) “The marks were triple checked by The Brilliant Club, so they are bona-fide correct”  Adam Joseph-Kerr  (Scholar’s Programme administrator) Quotes from students “I really enjoyed it and it’s made me want to work harder and aim for a more ambitious choice in higher education. Now it feels like a realistic goal and I’m hopeful I can challenge myself to do better.” “The programme has helped me to understand how to be an independent learner and our tutor has given great assistance and feedback to my work.” “I initially believed that it was only some extra tuition; but now, …… it was significantly more than ‘just tuition." “Our knowledge of life and work at university has been broadened, and I'm sure many of us would also agree that the trip to Cambridge was a fun day out.” “The one lesson that really stood out to me was one of the most cliché sayings, ’to get to the place you want to be at, you have to work for it,’ and I can personally tell you that it is not light work, and I hope everyone else can take away this lesson too.”

Careers Fair: Thursday 23rd February

To link with National Careers and Apprenticeships Weeks and Year 9 Options, we will be holding our annual Careers Fair on Thursday 23rd February from 6.00pm to 8.00pm and we are looking forward to welcoming lots of students and parents from Years 9-13. To reduce crowds and waiting times we would like to invite students to attend a time slot based on their year group: 6:00pm – 7:00pm – Years 10, 12 and 13 7:00pm – 8:00pm – Years 9 and 11 There will be a wide range of exhibitors from different sectors so students can explore a broad range of possible careers and education paths. Year 9 will be able to use the Fair as their first of three events designed to help them make informed decisions when selecting their options. The Fair will provide an invaluable opportunity for students to both explore new career paths, as well as a chance to talk to employers about the skills needed for that career. Year 10 - 13 students will be able to speak to representatives from Universities, Sixth Forms and Colleges, Apprenticeship Training Providers, Professions and Employers. Directions’ Career Advisers will be available to give independent careers advice and guidance. As you will be aware, all Year 11 school leavers now are required to stay in education or training until they are 18. Sixth Form students also have many more options to consider after A Levels or BTEC qualifications so it is more important than ever that they find out all they can about the opportunities open to them to help them make informed choices about their future. We would encourage all Year 9 - 13 students and parents to attend, even if you have been before. It is a great opportunity to find out about the many and varied opportunities out there and your child may even find their future career! Whilst it is not a requirement, in order to make a good impression we recommend school uniform or smart attire should be worn.

Evening of Piano with Guest Pianist Xander Benham

On Tuesday 24th February, the Music Department hosted their second ‘Evening of Piano’ event. Now established as a firm favourite amongst our student pianists, the event is held annually with students performing their most recent work. Students enjoy using the Grand Piano in Primmer Hall and the relaxed atmosphere to the evening. This year 21 students took part, with additional students watching and supporting their peers. We heard pop-ballads, classical pieces and some self-compositions. The evening was rounded off by a 20-minute performance from an ex-student of Great Baddow High School – Xander Benham. Xander Benham is a Classical/Jazz pianist who started learning the piano when he joined Great Baddow High School. Xander left Great Baddow nine years ago and has had an international career as a musician - for more information on Xander please click here: Biography | Xander Benham. He flew back from the Netherlands on Tuesday morning to join us for the ‘Evening of Piano’ and celebrate the talent of our student pianists. Xander explained to the students in attendance that it was “lovely to see so many pianists, of all different ages and abilities, because when he was a student here pianists were few and far between”. Xander returned to Baddow on Wednesday morning and ran a 2-hour masterclass with our most Gifted and Talented pianists (Grade 7+). The eight students performed substantial pieces to Xander who then gave his professional advice on how they could improve the piece and/or their playing in general. The students also had a one-to-one Q+A session with Xander before a final performance by the man himself. Thank you to all the parents, students, staff and Xander that joined us for the ‘Evening of Piano’. Our next evening of music is the ‘Evening of Voice – KS3’ on Tuesday 21st March 2023, swiftly followed by the ‘Evening of Voice – KS4/KS5’ on Thursday 23rd March 2023. Both evenings start at 5.15pm and we encourage you to bring refreshments to enjoy during the student performances. Students can attend both nights to watch, we have only issued a Key Stage for the performers due to the vast amount of vocalists in the school.

Iceland 2022

Leaving school at 3.00 a.m. on a coach to Luton Airport, in winter with A Level geography students on their way to Iceland, was the culmination of a lot of organisation. As we flew to Iceland the sun came up and then disappeared again as we flew north into Iceland in darkness. As soon as we boarded our coach, the extreme environment of Iceland was apparent with steam coming out of the ground and looming volcanoes in the background. We went straight to the Bridge between the Continents where it is possible to see the tectonic plates of North America and Eurasia. The students were amazed as their classroom studies became real. Bubbling mud puddles, hot springs, craters and a guided tour down lava tunnels formed over 5000 years ago completed the day. The second day started with a swim in the Secret Lagoon just as dawn was breaking, this is a natural geothermal spring. Back on the coach to Gullfoss where a huge waterfall cascades into a narrow canyon. Then on to Geysir for the spectacular eruption of boiling water and steam which erupts every 6 to 8 minutes. After a quick lunch off to Thingvellir National Park. Third day again starting early, arriving at Skogafoss waterfall. Here it is possible to walk behind the waterfall, although it was rather windy and full waterproofs were needed, it was well worth the soaking. We then travelled on up to the glacier seen up close with smaller ice bergs in the glacial lagoon. The students were totally in awe. Off again to the black beach seeing coastal landforms but also the power of the waves. Much caution is needed here as the Atlantic swell can sweep up and down the beach with such force. After lunch in the small coastal town Vik, we climbed a small volcano with amazing views of the glaciers, volcanic features, glacial meltwater rivers and the coast all around us. Finally we headed back to the hotel and took a short walk to the local outdoor swimming pool for a swim and enjoyed the geothermal hot tubs under the stars. This was a brilliant trip, with students really appreciating the awe and wonder of Iceland, making their text book pages come alive. The students were a credit to the school throughout the trip, and were sad to leave the amazing country, Iceland.
