Students’ Shakespeare success By Mrs Austin Head of Music
At this year’s Shakespeare School Festival All Saints’ Academy were proud to present their largest cast ever with 24 outstanding students taking to the stage in a performance of Merchant of Venice. The company worked tirelessly over 5 short weeks producing a performance that was playful, witty and original. Under the direction of Rachel Burton, the whole cast was on stage for the duration of the performance, creating walls, towers, portraits, gondolas and bridges in order to bring Venice to the stage. The cast did workshops on the themes of moneylending, interfaith relationships, arranged marriage, revenge and concealed identity to create a performance that brought the often challenging text and themes to life in a way that was accessible and entertaining for all ages. The company successfully performed at the Roses Theatre on the 12th of November and then to 300 students on the 20th November. Mrs Burton said that she
was proud and privileged to meet and work with the students for the first time. Mrs Edgar said, ‘The production really was a joy to watch. Mr Aitchison, Mrs Austin and Mrs Burton ran so many extra workshops after school and in the holidays to make sure the production was the best it possibly could be and it really paid off. The students really were a credit to All Saints’ and I can’t wait for their next production – The Little Shop of Horrors. The arts is such an important part of a childs development and this last year has seen a massive rise in participation with our Academy choir performing at a number of prestigious events and our performing arts department holding an increased number of productions.’
‘It was really fun to take part in the Merchant of Venice play. It gave me experience of working with a variety of people from year 7 – 13. I enjoyed having the chance to perform and show off my acting skills whilst also developing them further.’ Julia Obrebska Year 10 student
Students spread Christmas cheer at Sandfields Care Home By Miss Morley Head of Health & Social Care
On Friday 20th November, some of our Year 11 Health and Social Care students were invited to Sandfields Care Home to take part in some of their Christmas preparations. The students were asked to work with some of the residents, helping them to make their Christmas cakes. During lesson time, the students have been focusing on the care values involved in Health and Social Care and for some, this was their first opportunity to apply these things practically. After a nervous start, where both residents and students were unsure about what to talk about, the afternoon went amazingly well. All of our students were fantastic, taking a real interest in the residents and supporting them as much as possible.
After the cakes were made there was a real party atmosphere, with Christmas music, dancing and more tea and cake. Both the students and residents had a wonderful time, and the students have already been invited back in the New Year!

Improving achievement year on year By Mr McNiffe Principal
Welcome to our Christmas edition of ASA Today. There have been so many events and occasions to celebrate the achievements of our students and the fantastic work of our staff. One reason to celebrate is our continued success in improving examination achievement for our students at GCSE and A Level. This solid improvement over the past three years highlights how committed and focussed we are in sustaining improved examination performance each year as the Academy continues to grow and serve the local community of Cheltenham. Our investment in outstanding leadership and high quality teaching is key to this success, but it is also our students’ true dedication to their academic study that has encouraged them to aim high and exceed their potential. At the start of term two we celebrated All Saints’ Day as a whole Academy. Staff and students celebrated the inspirational lives of Saints and those

A poignant moment during our ceremony was the remembrance of those who gave their lives in the armed services since the 1st World War, which was led by our Combined Cadet Force. Many thanks to Mr Pinless our Chaplain, our choir, readers and staff for making it a memorable reflection and act of worship. The Roses Theatre in Tewkesbury was

Raising Alopecia Areata Awareness By Miss Smith Editor
Harry Atkins, a student in Year 8 at All Saints’ Academy has Alopecia Areata. Harry’s been suffering with the condition for a large part of this year. Alopecia is an autoimmune condition that can effect anyone at any age, young, old, male, female, it doesn't care. Gail Porter (Celebrity Big Brother), Matt Lucas (Little Britain), Wayne Rooney, Naomi Campbell and Victoria Beckham are just a few examples of celebrities that have all experienced Alopecia in some way. Harry wanted to raise lots of money for CADCAF, along with awareness for alopecia by having the rest of his hair cut. Harry was hoping to raise £250 for CADCAF, Cheltenham And District Carers And Families. With the help of All Saints’ Academy students, and the community,
Harry has smashed his original target and has so far raised £546.23! CADCAF are a local charity that supports families of additional needs children and young adults who have conditions such as ADHD, Autism, Learning Difficulties, through to
more complex and physical disabilities CADCAF supports parents and run day trips and activities for families during school holidays, but rely on donations to organise and subsidisethem. We congratulate Harry on his outstanding attitude in turning this into a positive charity fundraiser.

Free copy of Microsoft Office 365 We are pleased to offer students at All Saints’ Academy a free copy of Microsoft Office 365. Microsoft Office is a powerful suite of applications including Word, Excel and Powerpoint which we use extensively within the Academy. Students first need to change their password on a Academy computer, then visit asachelt.org/office365 and follow the link. We hope that having the same software at home will enable students to deliver the same high standards of work which we have seen in the Academy.

Advent
Issue 35, Term 2, 2015
www.asachelt.org
Year of Mercy Pope Francis has called for a Jubilee Year of Mercy which begins on 8th December and ends on 20th November 2016. The theme is ‘Merciful like the Father’ and is an invitation to follow the merciful example of the Father who
asks us not to judge or condemn but to forgive and to give love and forgiveness without measure. To be merciful is to be compassionate. It is to forgive someone even when they have done something wrong and help them start again. Pope Francis has asked us to reflect on the ‘Corporal’ Works of Mercy. “Corporal” meaning the bodily needs of others, so they are kind acts by which we help our neighbours with their material and physical needs.
Giving a drink to the thirsty People can be thirsty for clean water, but also thirsty for hope, forgiveness and self-worth. If we are to quench people’s thirst we need to look at ways of not only providing clean water but also how we can bring hope to others.
Sheltering the homeless People can also become homeless when they are treated as outsiders, they face prejudice or are ignored. If we are to shelter the homeless we need to be able to see in others the image of God, to welcome others and see past differences.
Visiting the sick People are sick when they are ill but also when they are sad, anxious or depressed. If we visit the sick we need to make time for others accepting their weaknesses.
Clothing the naked People are naked when they lack the basics of life but also when people gossip about them, they lose their reputation or they feel afraid of how others treat them. If we clothe the naked we must also try not to gossip, or make people afraid.
By Mrs Spence
Roman Catholic Lay Chaplain
Feeding the hungry, People can be hungry for food, also be hungry for acceptance or friendship. If we feed the hungry we need to try to make the world a more equal place but also look at how we react towards one another.
By Mrs Spence
Roman Catholic Lay Chaplain The season of Advent marks the beginning of the Church Year and is a sign that Christmas is near. The word ‘Advent’ comes from the Latin word ‘adventus’, meaning ‘coming’ or ‘arrival’. Many of you will have Advent
Calendars to count down the days, in Churches you will see Advent wreaths which count the Sunday’s until the feast of Christmas. This year, Sunday 29th November is the first Sunday in Advent and while the length of days varies Advent always has 4 Sundays and ends on Christmas Eve. Advent is a period of waiting, waiting with anticipation and it gives us time to prepare for the feast of Christmas. Not only by decorating our homes, buying presents or sending cards, it al-
lows us time to prepare ourselves and our hearts. Advent allows us space to ask ourselves if there are things which we need to put right or change, or if there are things we need to say sorry for. What are we waiting for? We are waiting for that time when we remember when God stepped into our world in the form of a tiny baby, Jesus, and waiting for the light Jesus brought into the world to show us all how to live in peace with love and thankfulness.

To ransom the captive/help set people free People are captive when they are lonely, when they are judged by past mistakes when they can’t make friends. If we are to ransom or free captives we need to not judge but to reach out to the lonely or those trapped by their own fears. During this coming year we will be focussing on these acts of mercy and how we can be merciful. Jesus said “I am the door, if any one enters by me, he will be saved” (John 7:10). Here at the Academy we will be creating our own ‘Door of Mercy’, which will act as a reminder to all who enter by it.
The Annual Mass of Remembrance By Mrs Spence
Roman Catholic Lay Chaplain The annual Mass of Remembrance was celebrated in St Benedict’s Chapel, All Saints’ Academy on Tuesday 17th November at 7.00pm. The Mass was offered for all deceased students, parents,
teachers, governors and staff of St. Benedict’s School, Christ College and All Saints’ Academy. The celebrant was Fr Paul Brandon, Parish Priest of Sacred Hearts. The Mass was once again well attended by former and present staff, parents, students and parishioners. Mr and Mrs Carroll kindly provided the music.

First Story By Mr Fredrickson English Teacher
The group has been meeting every week and 15 students now have portfolios of writing, some of which will be published or performed in the course of the months ahead. All Saints’ Academy is a hotbed of writing talent and the meetings are incredibly fun, creative occasions. The students’ mid-term report reads thus: Ciara Cullen is a born rhymester. Ellie Davage’s, Sophie Woodman’s and Jessica Murphy’s spectacular penship is only exceeded by their modesty. Hope Louise Jones and Chantae Sellars could power the National Grid with their devastating turns of phrase.

Sam Knight balances antitheses like a gymnast on the bar. Ollie Ray’s wit is both a scalpel and a warm bath. Serena Pepa is a beacon of erudition. Jade Mitchell is inventive and thought-provoking. Jack Large is a poet whose style has perfect cadence. If bubble machines were people they should be named Trent Anderson. She spins a sentence with the lifetime’s wisdom of a riverbank angler, does Sophie Cleevely. Jose Lumactod is chutzpah incarnate. Lilly St Francis has an assured control of using language effectively. Next stop we enter stories for the annual National Echoes Championship before preparing publication of the ASA’s 2015-16 magnum writing opus. It is already going far too quickly…

Model GCSE Answer
3. Explain how factors outside medicine helped the Egyptians make progress in medicine. [7] Egypt was one of the first places where not everyone needed to hunt in order to survive. This meant that people could be otherwise employed as priests and doctors to look after the sick. Religion was very important to medicine and many doctors were also priests. Embalming bodies helped them to find out more about anatomy. Skilled craftsmen could also produce new tools and
equipment, which doctors could use to carry out operations. Communication was a vital factor for progress. The development of a written language, pens and papyrus meant that the Egyptians could record their treatments and the discoveries they made about the body. This meant that ideas spread to other doctors in Egypt. Trade with other countries meant that these ideas spread further and the arrival of different herbs into Egypt also helped the progression of medicine.

Assistant Head of DT Year 13 Product Design students are given the opportunity to attend booster sessions after school to continue with their practical activities for their controlled assessment. This shows their passion and drive for the subject so we wanted to celebrate their success so far in ASA Today. Each student picks their own real life client and has to solve a problem their client is currently having. Shawn Morrison is one student who regularly attends and is currently making a vertical take off plane where he independently sourced all of his components and remote controller. Watch out for the next issue of ASA Today to see what stage the plane is at.
Programming is easy and hard,but I am really enjoying learning it. Goncalo Caetano
Year 9 have started the exciting task of learning how to code! Within two lessons the students were able to have a conversation with their programs. They have discovered the amazing world of random numbers and are well on their way to creating their own interactive adventure games!

On 11th November, 55 Catering students from Years 11-13 went on a research trip to Za Za Bazaar in Bristol. This restaurant is well known for it’s wide variety of cuisines on offer, over 30 different countries! GCSE students were researching all cuisines in preparation for their second controlled assessment which is to cook a 2-course meal for a country of their choice. The Sixth Form were researching Asian and European dishes for the Level 3 BTEC. Students enjoyed themselves and were taught by Year 11 students how to eat using chopsticks!
‘On Wednesday 11th November we were lucky enough to go on the Sixth Form Za Za Bazaar Restaurant in Bristol. The purpose of the trip to was to experiment new cuisines in an effort to explore and develop our understanding of cultural foods in preparation for our BTEC Level 3 Hospitality and Catering Assessment. It was a brilliant day and we learnt an awful lot. Thanks, Mrs Coleman for organising.’ James Breese and Indica Davis

Business Studies By Miss Pettit
Business Studies Teacher
Year 9 Enterprise project During term one, Year 9 Business Studies pupils embarked on a Dragon’s Den style enterprise project where they were asked to come up with a brand new, innovative product. They were asked to work in groups with the aim to present
their pitches to the dragons (aka Miss Pettit and their fellow classmates!) at the end of the term. They did not disappoint! They were able to incorporate a huge array of key business terminology and units including; market research, finance and promotion to give an interesting and exciting justification of their new creative business concept. The mature approach they took during this project resulted in a level of team work, communication and an outstanding attitude to learning which was fantastic to see! All Year 9s who participated were a real asset to the academy and should be incredibly proud of themselves! Well done!

All Saints’ help St Thomas More celebrate their 40th anniversary By Mr Chilman
Photography & Art Teacher Pupils from St Thomas More Catholic Primary School came to the Academy in October to take part in an art workshop led by myself. Working alongside ex pupils of the school, now in Year 7, they were given the opportunity to work with clay in order to produce a mural, celebrating St Thomas More’s 40th anniversary this September!
They were given a brief to create not only a self portrait, but to also produce portraits of their friends and staff and to show what learning takes place in their school. The final artwork was fantastic, truly celebrating the the strong community and the achievements of the school and the children worked exceptionally hard throughout the day. The mural will be presented to the Head Teacher, Maria Miles, and be part of their 40th anniversary celebrations.

On Friday 15th October we ventured out to the Heart Radio studios in Gloucester to get an insight of what goes on and how it all works. On arrival we met Ellis, she took us through the offices to the studio, allowing us to see the job roles of employees and what happens behind the scenes of the show. We then were greeted by Justin Walker, who was covering the breakfast show for Warren Moore. For the final hour of the show we were able to watch him as he broadcast live. Justin Walker has been working in radio for 10 years and normally hosts the drive time show on the evening. We had the chance to edit some songs together, and the opportunity to ask questions. After the show we had the chance to continue talking to Justin, he offered his advice on how to get into the industry.

Head of Technology Faculty Year 13 students who have been running their own businesses over the past 12 months carried out their final end of year pitch/presentations competing for the crown of ASA Start-Up Champions 2015. The judging panel was made up of Stuart Langworthy, Business Consultant and Mr Kelly. The two teams were Team 1 (Who We Are - Cleona Aston and Katie Cotton-Betteridge) and Team 2 (Ucharge - Dean Williams, Patricia Recibe and Tom Etheridge). Their tasks were to meet strict criteria whilst carrying out professional pitches summarising their vision for the business, successes,
complications and how they overcame them, finance and how they intend to move forward in the future. I’ve never seen such professional well drilled presentations by Sixth Form students and they should be really proud of themselves. After much deliberation, the following awards were issued; 1) Participation Awards - All 2) Finance Award – Team 2 - Ucharge 3) Leadership Award – Dean Williams 4) ASA Start-Up Champions 2015 – Team 1 – Who We Are A big thank you must also go to Mrs Farrelly who led this teams throughout last year, who is currently on maternity leave.

Students assist with the Cheltenham Borough Homes Digital Festival By Anika Lukmanova
Student Reporter During the October half term holiday, eight Sixth Formers volunteered to help out at Cheltenham Borough Homes Digital Festival. Our task was to teach elders who wanted to learn more about technology, the internet and how to use it. We were separated into two groups, one took the morning shift and the other took the afternoon one. Before meeting the participants we had a training session with the organiser of the event, Clare Pockett. She spent approximately 30 minutes preparing us on what we needed to do during the event and what we should include in our teaching sessions. Some of the coaching that was required from us involved uploading pictures from one device to another, using YouTube and simple explanations of how to use a computer in general. Personally, I enjoyed the interaction with new people and the whole socialising aspect of it. All of us received a lot of positive feedback from our trainees and participants. In addition to that, we were also welcomed to participate again in similar events if we wish. At the end of the day all of us had fun and took with us a lot of positive emotions and experiences on how to interact with elders whilst developing our leadership skills.

The session was delivered by one of the university’s librarians and study assistants and was an excellent opportunity for students to begin researching their chosen topics. By the end of the afternoon, everyone had a clear focus for their research and was raring to make a real start on their EPQ! Topics this year include media and prosthetics, anomalistic psychology, business media communication and astrophysics. Their supervisors and I can’t wait to read them when they are complete!
LEARNING FOR LIVING

By Mrs Crawford Head of House
Wednesday October 14th saw the first of this year’s L4L (Learning for Living ) days take place at All Saints’. Normal lessons were put to one side and instead, a whole range of learning opportunities took place – involving all students and all staff. Activities ranged from the Army working with Year 10 in team building activities to revision and motivation sessions being run for the benefit of Year 11 students. Year 8 students had the chance to make and then taste their own smoothie recipes and Year 9’s enjoyed an enterprise day – with a Dragon’s Den element of competition. A complete change in lessons being offered, coupled with visitors coming in to work with the Sixth form in a careers speed dating session meant that students were able to access a whole different experience of a learning environment Congratulations need to go to all staff for the planning of the day and the success that resulted from this.

Regional auditions held at All Saints’ Academy for the second year By Mrs Edgar PR & Marketing Manager
On 21st October two researchers from ITV’s hit show Britain’s Got Talent visited All Saints’ for the second year running in the hunt for fresh, new talent. We had lots of interest from students wanting to audition and also from members of the Cheltenham community. There was an wide range of talents on display this year including: dance, singing, magic and majorettes. Auditionees waited in the green room beforehand to be called in to audition where they performed their act and spoke to the researchers about their idol and how long they had been performing for. All of the acts were incredibly brave and were fantastic. They were filmed and will be played back to producers of the hit TV show in London. They will then make a decision as to whether they will put them through to the next round. If any auditionees have progressed to the next round they will be told in January/February time. A big well done to everyone that auditioned and also a big thank you to Jake Sollars, Nick Davis, Ines Barouk and Demi Wheeler who helped on the day.

One of the most important evenings for Year 12 students is when they collect their examination certificates; these represent all the hard work and effort put in by students, teachers and parents over the years and particularly in the build up to the examination period. It was fantastic to see members of the cohort returning to collect their certificates along with those studying to a higher level with us now. Students, supported by their families and friends heard kind words of congratulations from Mrs Sue Padfield (Chair of Governors) and Mr Alex Chalk (Cheltenham MP) alongside presentations from Mr McNiffe and Mr Ferguson. Special awards were also presented in recognition of other achievements outside of the examinations, these included Sportsman and woman of the year, the Hugh Jansen award and the St Benedict’s trophy.

It was interesting to hear of all the different volunteering opportunities there are around Cheltenham, especially the ones that I never even knew existed. I currently volunteer, and am training to become a leader, at a girl guiding unit in Hatherley, so to hear so many people interested in either scouts or guiding was amazing.” Megan Roberts 10DH “I really enjoyed the day as I was able to learn a lot of information about a wide range of volunteering work. Since learning this information, I am going to follow up and apply to be a volunteer as it sounds fun and will help give back to the community” Nadia Cooper 10WH
Karen Organ, LINC Fundraising Manager enjoyed a morning of speaking with inspiring year 11 students from All Saints Academy about volunteering opportunities. “The pupils were all interested in learning about the support that LINC gives to leukaemia and blood cancer patients. We look forward to being invited to spend some more time at such a positive and inspirational school”. Kate Stevens Wentworth Court, Home Manager said, "We were delighted to attend the volunteering speed dating event at All Saints Academy this week. The event enabled us to find some young volunteers to come and spend time with the residents at Wentworth Court nursing home in a variety of roles. We especially enjoyed working directly with the students who we found to be keen and animated about their studies and their future career aspirations. It's very important for us to be working in partnership with the Academy and the local community, and we look forward to welcoming staff and students alike to Wentworth Court." We would like to thank the following organisations for their support: LINC, The Butterfly Garden, Cotswold RDA, Wentworth Court, CCP, Rowanfield/Springbank Academy, Guides, Boy’s Brigade, Guide Dogs for the Blind, NCS (National Citizen Service), Hesters Way Neighbourhood Project/Springbank Neighbourhood Project, Family Space and Community Roots.

By Mrs Parr Careers Co-ordinator "The Skills Show provides a wonderful opportunity for young people to get face to face careers advice, and also to literally ‘have a go’ and learn new skills." Theo Paphitis (Dragon’s Den) Patron of The Skills Show, Secretary of State for Business, Innovation and Skills, Sajid Javid MP, came along and officially opened the show. The skills show showcases more careers, further education and training oppurtunies than any other event. With hundreds of different industries, skills and interests to explore. A group of Year 11 students had the opportunity to: • Try out skills across a huge range of careers, like web design, cooking and telecommunications. • Meet top employers like Virgin Media, Toyota, Crossrail and NHS Careers to discuss opportunities. • Get expert careers advice about the routes into vocational careers – from university to apprenticeships. Exclusive jobs, apprenticeships and work experience vacancies to help you make that next important step in their career. Tens of thousands of young people arrived at the NEC Birmingham to have a go at skills experiences, meet colleges and employers, watch the first day of the WorldSkills UK Skills Competition finals, listen to inspirational talks and discover amazing career opportunities.
By Mr Ferguson Assistant Vice Principal
50 of our highest performing Year 11 students attended an excursion to the National Careers and Skills fair held at the NEC. The event was publicised on BBC news and was, as expected, well attended by schools and colleges from across the country. The interactive stalls and exhibits allowed students to experience the practical demands of the career paths and the opportunity to talk to professionals and employers in each field gave them an insight into how to access the pathways and careers. Stretching through nine halls of the NECthe event catered for interests across the whole employment and further education sectors. It gave students the opportunity to identify and discuss their aspirations and brought them back to the academy ready for the sixth form open evening and their option choices.

YEAR 7 RUGBY www.asachelt.org
Issue 35, Term 2, 2015 By Mr Ferguson Assistant Vice Principal
Vs Tewkesbury Lost 12 – 10
A very tight affair which unfortunately fell away from ASA due to two missed kicks. The end to end Rugby saw both teams play well and neither really deserved to lose, but there can be only one winner! Excellent tackling from both sets of players and some brilliant and flamboyant ball handling and running was on show. The difference between the two teams was marginal, but Tewkesbury’s fly half was able to display a different turn of pace and side step to glory twice. A lesson learnt – tackle them early!
Vs Winchcombe
Lost 5 - 0
In this second game of the season the squad came a little unstuck in a well matched game. The match unravelled into a real end to end affair and it was just a matter of who would lose concentration first; unfortunately it proved to be All Saints’ as Winchcombe dived over the line after some strong defensive play from Liam Hope, Jayden Jeanes and Ryan Clearly. The team was weakened just before this as Liam Gannon injured his ankle and could take no further part in the game. All Saints’ looked to get back in the game and were unfortunate to be held up short as they dominated procession. Man of the match Liam Hope displayed excellent tackling and defensive skills all game.
Vs Cleeve B Won 28 – 0 In this fourth game of the season, the team looked to build on the hard work displayed so far. Tries from Kempson, Peelo, Jeanes and Gannon were well converted by Kempson. The dogged tackling and determination shown throughout the team created chance after chance. The scrum was much improved and as a result the team received more ball from set plays. The final ball still remained a problem as Jabar and Gannon both dropped the ball as their eyes lit up as they saw the line. The team remained focussed and strong throughout the game and seemed to be more disciplined and aware of their roles and responsibilities within the game. Liam Walsh was a real stand out individual as he stuck to his job throughout despite never being passed to in the open! Man of the Match Jayden Jeanes really impressed with his quick feet and quick thinking throughout.
Vs Winchcombe Won 36 – 5
A real thriller of a game that could have been won by either team despite the flattering score line. The early exchanges saw both teams go close, but a fantastic break involving many off loads set Pelo up to dive over in the corner. Pelo then went close again but the ball was held up and the try disallowed. Winchcombe then took advantage of the holes in the defence and also got over the line but once again had the ball held up. It was Jeanes who added to the tally, sneaking over just under the posts, this time he made certain of the conversion as he calmly stroked it over. The tackling and energy shown by both teams was excellent and the game was extremely competitive. Further tries from Jabar and Hope and two more from Pelo gave All Saints’ a commanding lead. Conversions from Jeanes and Jabar gave a comfortable 36 – 0 cushion as the game and the light entered the final stages. Winchcombe battled on and were awarded a consolation try in the corner after some excellent work.
Vs Gloucester Academy
Drew 12- 12
A thrilling debut game for the squad in this very different code. Following coaching, secured by Mr Ferguson through a link with the Rugby Football League, the team entertained Gloucester Academy for this first fixture. Under the floodlights on the Astroturf, the two teams took to the challenge of this quite different game with a real passion and enthusiasm. Both sets of boys tackled and ran with the ball effectively and All Saints’ looked to have the upper hand, forcing the visitors back and back. Gloucester put up a solid defence and stopped ASA on the fifth tackle just shy of the line and turning the ball over. With their first play the winger ran the whole length of the pitch and scored against the run of play. All Saints’ responded well and broke back to level the scores through a well-timed burst from Abdul Jabar. The match then flowed backwards and forwards with some excellent off loading and direct running. Gloucester scored on the stroke of half time to lead 8-4. The second half was much more disciplined and tries from Luke Walsh and Liam Gannon sent All Saints’ into a well-deserved lead for the first time in the game with only 5 minutes remaining on the clock. Solid defending looked to have kept the visitors at bay, but a final drive on the last play saw a pile up in the try area, despite pleas that the ball was held up the try was given. A thoroughly enjoyable game of Rugby, well played by both sides in exactly the spirit it should be played in. Both sets of boys were a true credit to their schools.
Vs Tewkesbury Lost 12 – 0
The third game of the season saw the boys take on Tewkesbury. The team seemed to panic with the loss of talismanic captain, CJ Peelo. Having rung many changes to give everyone a start in the first three games, Mr Ferguson looked to the backs to dictate the play. Unfortunately Tewkesbury also had the same plan and exploited the weak tackling that a tired All saints’ team put in. The team rallied but it was too little too late as they failed to reduce the deficit in the remaining minutes of the game. Man of the match Harry Kempson really put a shift in and displayed a real awareness and flair for the game.
Vs Cleeve A Won 14 - 7
A fantastic team display in the opening game of the season. The squad played extremely well and looked to run the ball as much as possible. Tight defence and some excellent tackling throughout limited Cleeve to a single score. Some supportive pack work and excellent rucking gave All Saints’ the upper hand as CJ Peelo, Harry Kempson, Liam Hope and Liam Gannon excelled with the ball in hand. Man of the Match CJ Peelo ran the show from start to finish.
Vs Cleeve A Won 28 – 5
All Saints’ really took the game to Cleeve and played some excellent Rugby. Ryan Cleary, Sammi Azzouz and Ashton Benson stood out in the pack and looked to release Peelo and Jabar with quick ball. Some solid ball handling created opportunities and the team worked hard to get to the try line. Healey and Walsh added to tries from Peelo and created a convincing win. Walsh kicked well and never looked like missing.
Vs Maidenhill Won 47-33
A fantastic end to end game where both teams competed frantically and some excellent Rugby was played. 5 tries from CJ Peelo gave All Saints a solid platform, further scores from Luke Walsh and Liam Healey added to the tally. Excellent conversion kicking from Luke Walsh kept the scoreboard ticking over as Maidenhill also created chances and took them well to keep the scores tight throughout the game. Excellent defensive work and cover tackles from the likes of Abdul Jabar and Jayden Jeanes to mention only two kept the hosts at arm’s length and allowed All Saints’ to maintain their lead.
Vs Cotswold Lost 35 - 0
The team took on the visitors with great passion and enthusiasm. Despite the score line it was an excellent performance. Both sets of players competed well and in the early stages All Saints’ had much of the ball. Some small ball handling errors gave the ball away and a little lack of awareness of the offside line at rucks turned the ball over to the visitors. Defensively the team was solid and some impressive tackling from all players kept the score board low. Attacking play was limited as Cotswold stole the ball and recycled it effectively. The game was much tighter than the end score indicates with Cotswold scoring twice as fitness dropped and fatigue set in as the light faded.
18
Vs Pates Lost 14 – 7 A thrilling game which looked to be lost early on as All Saints’ conceded two tries in the opening minutes. The team rallied well and took the game to the hosts with Harry Kempson and Liam Hope looking to run the lines inside ad Abdul Jabar and Luke Walsh seeking space down the wings. CJ Peelo and Liam Gannon paired up well and unloaded the ball to each other as they drove through the centre of the field, with Peelo eventually driving over the line. A successful conversion by Peelo added to the score, but unfortunately ASA were unable to add to this score and claw back the early deficit.

Sport Education By Mrs Minto Head of PE
Year 9 girls are currently doing a Sport Education module within their lessons. We are using Netball as a sport to do this. We include Sport Education within our teaching because it develops leadership skills, interpersonal skills and team unison. Within the first few lessons teams are created and pupils remain in these teams throughout every lesson. Each pupil is given a role and the team will decide together who is the best person for the job. Some of these roles are coach, captain and reporter. For each lesson pupils work within their team, the coach/vice-coach takes the warm up and a skills session. Each team will then play each other and an evaluation at the end of the session is facilitated and that will be the focus for the next skills sessions. Miss Oldham, Mrs Mitchell and myself have been very impressed with all the girls in Year 9 with their mature and enthusiastic attitudes. We look forward to developing these independent and confident young leaders.
Year 7 Football By Mr Ferguson Assistant Vice Principal
ASA Vs Severn Vale (A) Won 6-2 A fantastic and thrilling second round game saw ASA travel to Gloucester to face Severn Vale. The game started badly with the hosts capitalising on some sloppy defending in the opening minutes of the game. This seemed only to serve to awaken the team. Within 5 minutes of the restart Jurek Marszarek broke free and slotted home after a great solo effort. Jayden Jeanes soon added to the tally and his total for the season by following up on a spilled save by the keeper. With a narrow lead at half time, it was important for the team to start quickly and take the game to the hosts. Marszarek did just that and drove forward slipping the ball across the face of the goal for Walsh to slot home. Jeanes soon added a forth with another calm finish. Marszarek converted a penalty to make it five before scoring his hat trick with a fantastic low drive. Severn Vale grabbed a consolation goal with a well taken free kick into the top corner. Although an impressive score line was recorded and the whole team impressed it was particularly great to see Mitchell’s debut in the back four and the impressive goalkeeping of Liam Gannon serve so well to keep the hosts at bay.

U14 Girls football team go from strength to strength

By Mrs Mitchell
Head of Westminster House PE Teacher
With some trepidation we entered the ESFA National cup. It is a strong competition, which in the past has proven a difficult challenge, with most efforts ending in a knock out during the first round. This year with a strengthened team and a sense of determination we aimed to stay in the competition longer! The girls did not let the Academy down, working together as a strong unit to shrug off the earlier round teams. The girls put in some emphatic performances and dug deep to progress to the fourth round. Special mentions must go out to Shana Kelly for her cool composure and strong leadership and Courtney Lusmore who showed dominance and fantastic scoring abilities. The fourth round saw us matched against a side from Birmingham but with a home draw we felt optimistic. Unfortunately, the challenge was a tough one and we lost 3-0 to a very organised and strong side. Although now out of the cup this achievement brings with it excitement about the future of girls football. We are very proud of the way the girls gelled as a team and showed determination and perseverance throughout the competition. Congratulations girls!
