Headmaster's Blog Dear Parents And so after a busy and productive seven weeks we reach Half Term. The good news is that I am not hearing of any child who has failed to start the academic year with the right approach. Of course there are some who could have done better in specific subjects, but overall I am satisfied that the construction of solid foundations has been successful. Undoubtedly the Prep community, like any other school, will be tested over the coming weeks and months, whether by misbehaviour, illness or just tiredness. I am confident that the children here understand how to work together for the good of the community. Indeed, I have been struck by their determination to look out for each other and at the heart of this, thus far, have been the young adults in Upper School. All children appear to have bought into the need to build a compassionate community, rather than just waiting and hoping. For example, I have recently awarded Headmster’s Commendations in assembly to boys in Year 8 for showing concern for younger children and I witnessed a girl in Year 7 putting her arms round two little girls in Year 3, one of whom had hurt herself. Her concern did not stop there as she accompanied the younger girls to the Health Centre. Small actions with a big impact!

One of the highlights in the classroom has been the Scholars’ extension work, which has been taking place instead of some PE lessons. So far we have welcomed Alex Chalk MP, Mrs Eldred, Head of Politics and Dr Enright, Head of Maths at the College. These sessions are designed to extend the scholars, encouraging them to think beyond the set task. This drive to extend pupils is not restricted to the scholars. All teaching in The Prep is differentiated so that a teacher will arrive in every lesson with the set task, with a task to support those who struggle and a task to extend those who find the original task too easy. Encouraging children to be their best in every lesson and demanding that they always aim to extend their learning is at the heart of all teaching in The Prep.

Equally demanding is The Prep’s co-curricular programme. This first half of term has seen the rugby coaches and their charges come to terms with the new rules, especially for those aged between nine and thirteen. We have worked hard with fellow prep schools to make the rugby experience a worthwhile, challenging and safe experience for all. Although not faced with a myriad of changes, girls hockey has also been extremely successful, not just in terms of results, but also by calculating just how many girls are involved on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Our only frustration is the lack of ambition shown by some of our competitors, who seem to prefer to have four substitutes rather than using their imagination to involve them in their own ‘mini’ game. The rugby and hockey tours over half-term, to Barcelona and Rotterdam respectively, are open to players of all abilities and consequently sixty children will benefit from the experiences of travel, camraderie and cultural differences.

I am privileged to be able to walk round the Prep, sensing the atmosphere, watching the children hard at work and play, and experiencing their ups and downs. What has been apparent and has impressed me the most is the desire to create a functional, caring community in which all individuals can express themselves without fear of a campaign of prejudice and denigration. My thanks to all paernts for their support in this; I feel we have set ourselves up well for a successful year!

I also write to inform you that, after four highly successful years, Bob Wells has decided to step down from the post of Boarding House Parent. He will remain at The Prep as the Deputy Head (Operations) with duties in the classroom and on the games field.

He has also ensured that the furiously busy ‘flexiboarding’ offer has dovetailed seamlessly with the routine of the full boarders. No wonder that the Boarding House is bucking the trend of declining boarding at prep school age.

The challenge to find Bob’s It is difficult to express my successor is well under way admiration for the job that and I would like to reassure Bob, and Faye, have done in parents that not only will we their time in charge of what conduct a full and thorough is effectively two houses search, but also we will use under one roof.

Design & Technology Christmas Course Monday 19 – Thursday 22 December Pupils in Years 5 to 8 can enjoy a few days of crafting and making as part of the new D&T Christmas Course.

Running from 19 to 22 December, 9:30 – 15:30 in the fantastic new D&T facilities, the course will allow children to design and make their own bird feeder. This will call on and improve a variety of skills, using a selection of tools and processes. A session of free making will also be laid on, allowing children to explore their creativity.

Places on the course are limited, and disappearing fast, so book now to avoid disappointment.

Additional Information Pupils will need to wear casual, but not loose clothing, with no open toed footwear. They should also bring a packed lunch, with enough drinks and snacks to keep them going throughout the day. Before lunch, there will be a planned activity for the children to run around.

The course will cost a total of £180, which will be added to your end of term account. Numbers are limited to 20 children per day, on a first come basis. All four days will be needed to guarantee completion of the project.

The cost covers all materials, services, activities and private tuition.

Upper School Resilience and Well-Being Talk

By Freya Wood, 7B Yesterday, two very kind and helpful ladies came from the Health Centre to help us relax about our exams and not stress over them.

One of the speakers taught us how to relax and take a break from revision. She gave us a useful sheet with '50 ways to take a break'. Some of the things on there included meditation, turning off all electronics or going for a walk.

The second speaker taught us some breathing exercises to help relieve stress. We all closed our eyes and put our hands on our chests. This helped us to control our breathing, and then we thought about our favourite colour whilst counting to ten. We opened our eyes and we were relaxed!

Kingfishers In Science, Year One have been learning all about the body and the different senses we have. They were very lucky to have a visit from Dr Ward who gave us some interesting facts, including how many muscles and bones we have. The children enjoyed dressing up as a surgeon, just like Dr Ward, and listening to each other’s heart beats.

They also tried to identify examples of bones found in our body which they thoroughly enjoyed! Thank you Dr Ward!

On Friday afternoon, Lower School was filled with the excited buzz of 16 Kingfishers and Lower School children who had assembled for a challenging afternoon of chess.

The Kingfishers children enjoyed some coaching on a 1:1 basis from a member of the more experienced Lower School and consolidated their knowledge of how the pieces move and game strategy. Finally the competitions were held: one for the Kingfishers and one for Lower School. The children were focused and it was impressive to see their concentration, as if practising for a real chess congress.

Congratulations go to Charles Maynell and Sam Albutt as joint Lower School champions, and Sean Degnan as Kingfishers Champion. Well done to all those who took part in our Autumn Chess Challenge. We look forward to inviting all of those who want to get involved with ‘pushing the wood’ in our next tournament in the Spring.

SPOOOOKY Lower School We have had an incredibly busy first half term in Lower School.

We’ve had trips to Warwick and the Literature Festival, and plenty of competitive fixtures against other schools. We have experimented in Science, and been busy in Enrichment with problem solving and cooking apple crumbles! But it’s not all fun and games. We have also been busy in the classrooms working on our writing, Anglo Saxon History, and measuring shapes in Maths.

In Year Four’s creative writing sessions, we have followed the progression through from action packed story openings, onto the build-up and introduction of dilemmas with some fantastic pieces of work being created.

The displays are truly singing around the top floor of lower school and with Halloween fast approaching, we took the plunge, and delved deeply into the mystical world of Horror…

The children were utterly inspired by some spooky music and terrifying example tales to create vivid stories which can be seen above. We focused on building up suspense and lulling the reader into a false sense of security and have produced some bone chilling work.

Middle School On Monday, as part of their new Weather topic, Year 5 took to the grounds of school to collect some data. They measured wind speed with their nifty anemometers, noise levels with their sound meters, as well as wind direction and temperature, in 5 places of their choice. Once the data was collected and recorded, the children then concluded which were the warmest and coldest places around school, why this might be, and then decided where they would build a picnic table and why. Beside the lake was the overwhelming place of choice, for reasons such as “it’s pretty and calm”, as well as, “you can watch the rugby from there”. Can’t argue with that! Year 5 have spoken.

Well done everyone for an excellent half term at Cheltenham College Prep! Rest and recover well in our halfterm break and we’ll see you all refreshed in November!

Upper School Rarely is one individual able to capture an audience’s attention for a full hour but, my goodness, Marcus Sedgewick was able to do so. Always one to break the rules, the session started with a question and answer round and, rather than the pupils asking the questions, Sedgewick asked them one first: 'Who thinks I have the best job in the world? Who thinks I have the worst job?!' Responses were mixed but Sedgewick did a superb job at proving the former by the end of his talk. Yes, he gets to lie in bed to any hour he chooses in the morning, he doesn’t have his mum nagging him to get up and get dressed and he gets paid to travel to research for his books!

Sounds pretty good to us! Through the wonders of technology, we were then shown one photograph of Sedgewick’s office (a tiny room at the top of his chalet in the mountains) and could choose any object on which to focus and he would explain its purpose. Amongst treasures of masks, maps and unusual lights, the focal point was a large skull stuffed with dollar bills! Let’s just say you have to read Sedgewick’s most recent book release, Saint Death, to truly understand its significance. We can’t wait to get our hands on it!

Conferring with Jack Malvern to craft the right questions

The press conference - time to find out all the details Prep for The Week Issue Number 1841 21 October 2016

What? Who? Where? When? How? Why? Six valuable questions that every journalist strives to answer in their newspaper reports. Year 7 were able to pick the brains of the experienced Times journalist, Jack Malvern at the Literature Festival last week. The highlight of Jack’s workshop was a fictional press conference – pupils had time to prepare a series of questions to fire at Jack (in the role of one of the eye witnesses) and were told that unless they asked the right sort of questions then they would fail to find out the details of a dramatic event that should be on the front page!

Two groups from Cheltenham College Prep School were able to pinpoint the story – a passer-by who relied on his goalkeeping skills to catch a young girl who jumped from a burning building!

It was a brilliant workshop, interactive and inspiring. I wonder who our budding journalists will be?

Drama

In June, a casting director came to The Prep looking for young actors to audition for parts in various film productions.

Pupils were auditioned for a part playing Young Prince Philip in Netflix’s new drama series, The Crown and another casting director was looking for a young Christopher Robin in a forthcoming feature film about Winnie-the-Pooh’s famous owner.

Two of our boys, Jasper Norman (The Crown) and Ethan Feinson (Christopher Robin), were chosen to go through to many following auditions throughout the summer holidays and Jasper made it to the final six boys and Ethan to the final three choices; exciting indeed.

Jasper has written an account of his experience as a potential film actor: “Much to my surprise, a week later, the casting director selected me and 6 other boys (out of the over 400 who they auditioned nationally) to come to London for a final round of

auditions for director Stephen Daldry — the Tony Award winning and Academy Award nominated director of Billy Elliot, The Hours and The Reader. I was sent a script with two scenes I had to learn off by heart and asked to come to studio in the West End for a day long audition.

“The day itself was not as glamorous as I had expected. I learned pretty quickly that a lot of professional acting is just sitting around waiting. I read my scenes only a few times for different mixes of people but spent almost 6 hours in the studio waiting and chatting with the other 6 boys there (who looked suspiciously like me!). Mr Daldry was easy to work for and seemed like a nice man although he did cuss an awful lot. The second time through, I was

asked to say my lines with "more arrogance" because apparently Prince Phillip was not the nicest boy when he was at school. It was funny to me that there were boys aged 11 all the way up to 16 auditioning for the same part of Philip at age 13. Apparently the right “look” is more important than the actual age of the actor.

We are still waiting to hear the results of that July audition, but no matter how it turns out, it was a very interesting day!”

Ethan also had a rather amazing summer of auditions: “I travelled up to London and had great fun going to four auditions. I had acting coaching and met the director and some of the cast. I got down to the last audition and didn’t get the part but had an incredible and unexpected experience.”

LAMDA (the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art) is going from strength to strength at both College and The Prep.

This week we held our first joint Prep & College LAMDA Showcase to full audiences in Lake House.

We now have 25 pupils working towards their Drama Exams; we’ve registered as an exam centre for the first time and look forward to our first set of exams at The Prep in November.

Team of the Week – U9A Playing outstanding team hockey, the U9s won the Severnside Hockey tournament, scoring seven goals and conceding only one. Beaudesert, St. John’s and Dean Close were well beaten whilst The Downs and Clifton earned battling draws. Indeed, in all matches bar two, our goalkeeper did not touch the ball! The strengths of this team are the ability to pass and move whilst maintaining their team shape. For such a young group this is enormously encouraging and when these abilities are complemented by sharper individual stick skills and ruthlessness in front of goal, they will be a team to take notice of. Their enthusiasm and energy on the pitch was matched by their sportsmanship off it and they were a credit to the Prep. They then continued this momentum on Wednesday, storming to another convincing victory over St Hugh’s.

IAPS Hockey Regional Qualifiers Last Thursday the 1st VII and the U11 girls' hockey squads travelled to Repton for the IAPS Regional Qualifiers.

The 1st VII had high hopes for qualification after their run of good form. Unfortunately it was not to be.

First up in the group was Foremarke Hall, who were exceptionally strong.

Talk about a baptism of fire! The girls went down 0–2 and, thanks to an exceptional display by the goalkeeper, were probably lucky that was all.

Game two was The Elms and the team certainly performed better but got confused at times between hockey and football and lost a lot of ball for feet.

When one of our key players had to go off with a leg injury, we lost a bit of shape and focus, and allowed The Elms to sneak in a goal a few minutes from time. During the next game against Beachborough, the team were almost back to their usual selves, but another injury hit us: our striker left the pitch with a nasty facial injury, and the team were clearly quite shaken. A game that should definitely have been a win ended in a disappointing 0 – 0 draw.

With both striker and coach still absent, the team pulled themselves together for the final game and although it Prep for The Week Issue Number 1841 21 October 2016

did not mean anything anymore in terms of qualification, they played for pride and they played well, finishing on a high with a 2 – 0 victory. A disappointing day for a talented team, but these things happen in sport and lessons were learnt. The girls are now looking forward to the Holland Tour where they can pick up some new tips and skills from the Dutch coaches to try out in the second half of term.

us, and we had to play strong hockey for the entire 15 minutes. Our midfield had a great game, keeping the ball moving to the wings, and again we posted a 1-0 win. Unfortunately, in our final pool game, Fairfield proved too strong for us, and managed to score with their only shot on target to beat us 1-0. We had more chances at their goal, but struggled to get enough power on the ball to get it past their keeper.

With 5 other teams in the U11 pool, the girls kicked off the tournament against Beachborough, an old adversary. Still getting the journey out of their legs, the players took a few minutes to switch on during the match, however, with some lovely passages of play, managed to come away with a 2-1 win.

Next up was Crescent School, whom we dominated for the whole match, but could only score past their keeper twice. The Downs Malvern also put up stiff competition, and although possession was even between the sides, we managed to put some positive runs of play together, to come away with a 1-0 win, hammered into the goal by our striker. Hereford Cathedral, in our penultimate pool match, also proved stiff competition for

Coming second in the pool meant we had earned a place in the quarter finals, - there were some very excited girls, along with our lone 2 supporters, who had made the trek to Repton! The QF game against RGS Newcastle proved 1 game too many, and after going 1-0 down within seconds of the whistle, we struggled to gain any momentum or time on the ball, and ended up chasing the game. The girls put up a great fight, but unfortunately were beaten 2-0 by a better, stronger side on the day. Each of the girls gave their all, continually tried their best and ran themselves into the ground in each match. We couldn’t have asked any more of them, and they should be extremely proud of their performance.

Team of the Week - U13B v Bromsgrove Boosted by their hard won draw against Clifton the previous Saturday, the boys set about this fixture with intent – they clearly wanted to prove themselves against another very well respected rugby playing school. From the very first play they showed that they were in absolute total control. They were there to play total rugby. In the first half they exhibited first class tackling, ball distribution, rucking, direct running and communication. It was all too much for Bromsgrove who faced a half time score of 35-0. With a convincing win certain we chose to challenge the boys by moving key players out to the fringes and bringing those newest to the game into the core. Still they kept their shape and composure and continued to dominate. The way they adapted speaks volumes about the character of our players and the versatility we have in this squad.
