Headmaster's Blog

Dear Parents Welcome back! I hope that the festive period treated you well and that the New Year has started well. It is great to have the whole community back together. Pleasingly, the Prep has slipped quickly and effectively back into its routine and all are ready for the challenge of “the difficult bit in the middle”.

Speaking to the children in the first assembly of term about this specific challenge, I encouraged them to think what this means for each individual. What will test someone who is facing mock Common Entrance examinations is different to the difficulties that someone in Lower School might expect to meet. The maxim, “perfect preparation prevents poor performance” springs to mind!

Experience tells me that this is also the term, especially in the period just after Half Term, that relationships between pupils come under the most strain. Confinement, tiredness, over familiarity, brooding tensions all contribute to flashpoints. Awareness and prevention rather than cure is clearly the way forward, so please encourage your child to maintain healthy and open communications with the teacher at school to whom they would normally turn for support.

Inevitably, such upsets have an impact at home too and, should this be the case, communication with the school needs to be immediate if we are to engage with the problem effectively.

I include in this week’s edition an article written

by Neil Rollings, who runs Independent Coach Education. It is worth reading, not least to put into perspective how children develop at different rates. Although his article deals with physical development, I also believe that it is very true of attitudes to learning and emotional development.

Mr Jon Whybrow Headmaster

Parenting the young sports star Neil Rollings, with 30 years of experience as the Director of Sports in prep and senior schools, and the Director of Independent Coach Education, discusses early developers in physical education.

Size and speed are the enemies of pre-maturation sport.

They give the early developers an undue advantage, and they unbalance the game. Anyone who has ever coached or refereed these games dreads the arrival of the man-child: the boy who scores five tries every game, or the girl who scores the same number of goals. Other parents look on enviously, as their own children play a bit part (at best). The show is dominated by the dramatic effectiveness of the early maturer - whose parents are kings of the touchline.

It is, however, the parents of the dominant player who have the most difficult task. In the face of lavish praise for the child’s sporting “talent”, often accompanied by considerable attention from the pillaging parties of senior schools, it is easy to overlook the science. Research clearly identifies that those born early in the school year have considerable initial advantage. If they have early success, and parents who play with them in the garden, the advantages compound. They command all the game time, are given dominant roles by coaches keen for victory and enjoy all the adulation that a school can offer. However, science is equally clear that these advantages can easily disappear when the maturation lottery evens itself out. Prodigious sporting success at prep school does not predict the same for adolescents.

How is the success of a young sports star measured? Is it the outrageous number of goals she scores at Under 11?

Or international recognition at Under 18? Or a career in professional sport? Or is it a lifetime of enjoyment of the game? Each of these would demand a different approach.

There is a significant difference in the skill set of a great player and a dominant one. The latter rarely pass. And, consequently, score often. However, there is a point in the evolution of a young sportsman in which distribution becomes the primary skill, and where persistence becomes the quality that predicts success. If early maturers have been allowed to dominate every game - scoring record numbers of goals, tries and runs - they find themselves as adolescents without the tools to progress.

It is essential that early maturers develop two things. The first is a technical skill set high on distribution and creativity. The second are the psychological skills of emotional intelligence.

The determination, empathy and selflessness that are at the heart of teamship. If the star players never experience difficulty, are never substituted and are celebrated for dominating the game to an absurd extent, they will have no capacity to cope when these advantages have been evened out. If these players are efficiently used to win the game, it will often be at the expense of their development.

Players must develop their sport, but also be developed through sport. Without the drive to improve, defined by Ellen Winner as “the rage to master”, success soon dries up, and the relative age effect dilutes in the teenage years. If early achievers are allowed to believe in talent, and their dominance of it, they will soon lose motivation when the goals are suddenly harder to come by. If they enjoy the process of getting better, and working towards this ambition, they have a chance of surviving the speed ramp of slowing progress. Parents cannot be seduced by the intoxicating idea that prep school success predicts anything beyond maturation. The only place where success comes before work is in the dictionary.

The parents of the man-child have a difficult task. They must find an environment which values development, and finds ways for their child to fail. One that rewards effort and improvement, ahead of performance. They need to work closely with school (and club) to ensure that the messages are the right ones, and are consistent. The child must be constantly challenged - physically and psychologically and encouraged to see endeavour and application as more valuable than victory. She must experience disappointment, whilst constantly seeking to improve skills - even when the competitive environment does not always demand them.

When the senior schools come with their well polished seduction techniques for their Sports Scholarships, there is a key question: ask not what the child can do for the school, but what the school can do for the child. The programme of experiences that the Scholarship involves, and the school’s philosophy for dealing with early success are critical for the medium term. Many of these programmes are little more than sordid fee discounting aimed at securing the match winning services of the the prep school stars. Promising performers need to be in the right environment.

Children need intrinsic motivation to become the best that they can be. Not satisfied by being defined relative to the limitations of the opposition. They must be armed with the technical skills, and attitudes, to enable them to achieve this.

Parents, teachers and children ride the wave of early success. The adulation that comes with game-dominating performance. But the wave always crashes. That might be a disaster - or it might not be. It all depends on the environment where the early achievement occurs. Its values, its messages and its philosophy. Children don't choose that environment: adults select it for them. It's a big responsibility. www.independentcoacheducation.co.uk

Kingfishers Update

On Friday, the Nursery and Reception classes launched their topic of Animal Antics. The children had a fantastic time completing activities including decorating animal biscuits, having their faces painted, tracking down which animal had left the footprints and a visit by the Zoolab. In their Zoolab session the children were able to hold, stroke or look at creatures from around the world.

They enjoyed holding the hissing cockroach and mice, stroking a corn snake and looking at an Australian tree frog, although they were a little more wary of the tarantula.

Year 1 and Year 2 had a blast on their trip last Wednesday or you could say an icy blast! Our topic launch took us to The Wilson Art Gallery and Museum and the children were still curious as to what we were doing there. However, after a very factual talk the children discovered the first person they were going to study for our 'Hall of Fame' topic. That famous person is Cheltenham's very own Edward Wilson. The children were fascinated by our local hero and were glued to the stories of his adventures in the Antarctic. During the morning the children were able to try on clothes and play with toys from the Victorian era, practice sketching like Edward Wilson and try fur coats and sleeping bags. Each class also toured the museum to see the wonderful artefacts of Edward Wilson and his family.

Welcome back and Happy New Year from Lower School. It is clear that everyone has returned fresh and energetic, full of new resolutions and purpose.

We have had a busy week already with new History, Geography and Science topics started. In English, we have already started putting our new targets into practice and Maths times tables awards are beginning to flow in.

Spring is always a very full term with lots of trips and events. This week we start with our Year 4 trip to Gloucester Cathedral, a really exciting way to start the Viking History topic. On Friday, we are excited to welcome a visiting author to Lower School, Mike Gleason and his illustrator, Victoria Taylor to tell us more about how to write stories. Next week, Year 3 are out for a Geography field trip to Bath Road to develop mapping and survey skills. A warm invitation is extended to all parents to discuss your child’s progress at our Parents’ Meetings in week 5.

After Half Term, we build on the pupils’ skills in speaking and listening. We prepare poetry to recite, passages to read and presentations to give to an audience. Our pupils always find this great fun as they love to be able to talk with passion about a topic that truly engages them. More information will follow in due course about this. Also, straight after half term, Year 3 will visit Dundry Nurseries in connection with their Science topic as well as spend a day at Forest School to enhance their learning about plants and the environment. Finally, before the end of term there will be a Year 4 Viking Day, another opportunity for everyone to immerse themselves in Viking life for a day.

It has been a pleasure to see everyone get straight on with the term. Working hard and playing hard, being thoughtful and caring for each other. A great way to start the new term.

Lower School Update

This week Year 3 have been really focusing on creative writing. To kick start our ‘Traditional Tales’ topic, we have been putting ourselves in the shoes of the wolf from Little Red Riding Hood. The day started off very well for our wolf but went rapidly downhill!

One sunny morning, I rubbed my piercing, yellow eyes with my grey, furry paws and looked around my damp, gloomy cave. My tummy rumbled. I was ravenous after a night of howling at the moon and it was time for hunting.

Iola Waley-Cohen 3S I walked through the dark, mysterious woods listening for the sound of food. Suddenly I heard a humming. I crept closer. It looked small and had brown locks. It looked like a little girl. I asked her where she was going and she said she was going to her Granny’s house. A cunning plan popped into my mind… I tricked her into going the wrong way.

Freya Barltrop 3S Half an hour later, I burst through the door of Granny’s house and gave my loudest growl. It was very impressive! Hungrily, I shoved Granny’s small, wrinkled body down my throat.

Delicious! As quick as a flash, I fitted Granny’s nightclothes and cap on and shot into her bed. Soon after, Little Red Riding Hood arrived and started asking really annoying questions.

William Berry 3S I started to lose my temper. When she got to how big my teeth were, I lost it completely. I dived at her feet! Suddenly the woodcutter darted into the cottage. I had no idea what was happening until I lay on the floor… decapitated.

Boarding House Update The Boarders' returned in great spirits on Tuesday night and have quickly got back into the swing of school life.

We welcomed Isabel and Thomas to the Boarding community and they have made a great start. We also have enjoyed getting to know our new Gap Students all the way from Australia: Miss Cant, Miss Shephard and Miss Roberts, who join Mr Wood to make up our Gap team.

Here are a few photos from the first week. Lower School pupils have enjoyed some board games and a Beanie Boo Birthday Party after prep in the Houseparents' lounge. The Boarders enjoyed a play at the Forest School Activity put on for them on Saturday morning. Various people headed out for extra sports fixtures on Sunday whilst the rest went to Xjump Trampoline Park. Thank you to Miss Ramsay and the Gaps for leading the trip and enjoying a bounce themselves. We look forward to all that is on offer in this short term.

A View from the English Department Over the next two terms ,each academic department will be writing a blog for inclusion in Prep for The Week. Starting us off we have Tony Clarke, Head of English.

It has been an exciting and busy few months in the English department at The Prep! We began the year by celebrating the annual Roald Dahl Day in Week 2 with a surprise guest appearance for pupils in Lower School – we were delighted to welcome Mr & Mrs Twit (also known as Mr Clarke, the new Head of English, and Mr Dawson, who never misses an opportunity to dress up!) who ‘treated’ the children to a performance of an extract from Roald Dahl’s much-loved story.

In Kingfishers, it has been a busy year. We have started a new handwriting program which has seen the introduction of the cursive script from Reception.

In February, we celebrated 100 Days of School with many exciting events. For example, Foundation Stage discovered that they knew and could write 100 different words using the cursive handwriting.

In the Pre-Prep, we are always keen to promote reading.

We have run a reading workshop for parents explaining how we teach reading. We have also launched our reading challenge throughout the department. The Trips to the Cheltenham Literature Festival are children had to try and read ten times through the October Half Term. This included even our youngest one of the highlights of the year in the English children as they were able to read to their parents. department, and indeed for the whole school.

We have continued to enjoy using Reading Eggs and Each year provides us with the delightful dilemma we regularly celebrate the children gaining different of which authors to see and which events to certificates in our Friday Super Stars assembly. attend and, once again, we were not disappointed

with our final choices:

Meanwhile, children in Lower School have been showing a keen interest in developing their writing Years 3 and 4 were entertained by Philip Reeve this year. The Year 3s and Year 4s have been engrossed and Sarah McIntyre. This author/illustrator pair in developing their story writing techniques. The create dazzlingly funny books, which many of the outcomes have been amazing with some incredible children have since devoured! Years 1 and 2 saw work on display throughout the year in the Lower Alexis Deacon who spoke to them about Henry School classrooms and corridors. Topics have included Finch. Henry is the loveable little bird who strives horror, fantasy, adventure and stories in familiar settings.

Currently the work is focused on Viking Myths, where for greatness, gets it all wrong, then makes it right the likes of Loki, Thor and Odin feature heavily. Moving in a very surprising way! Reception met Hilda Offen and heard her read Message from the Moon on, they will be learning about the Willow Pattern Plate from China and creating their own version of the Willow and other poems.

Pattern story, as well as writing newspapers about the much-anticipated World Book Day. Year 3 have Our Year 5s were treated to a session with also written formal and informal letters, an art that is Jonathan Stroud, writer of the popular Lockwood disappearing with so much communication done by series, while perennial favourite Frank Cottrellemail.

Boyce entertained our Year 6s and taught them “how to commit the perfect crime!” Tanya Landman discussed her latest novel, Beyond the Wall with our Year 7s, while Steve Camden, author of It’s About Love, led a fantastically creative workshop for our Year 8s which proved highly entertaining! In addition, there were several Stretch and Challenge workshops for pupils across the age range.

A View from the English Department Continued...

The children wrote letters to authors, Sarah Macintyre and Phillip Reeve, having seen them at the Cheltenham Literature Festival. Amazingly, most of the children were sent individual replies to their letters, which was quite unexpected, but very gratefully received. Overall, the enthusiasm and interest shown to improve reading, writing and produce creative ideas is extremely positive and there is a lot more fantastic work to look forward to.

Visiting authors are a regular feature at The Prep. We were delighted to welcome New Zealand writer Joanna Grochowicz, author of Into the White, to the school in November to speak to our Year 7 & 8 pupils. Her book retells the epic journey of Captain Scott’s Terra Nova expedition of 1910 - 12. The Prep has a special link to this inspirational adventure: not only did Cheltenham College donate some sledges for the expedition, but Chief Scientist on the trip, Dr Edward Wilson, was an Old Cheltonian, all of which gave Joanna’s talk a real resonance with staff and pupils alike.

A busy first term for the English department, and across the school, also featured a celebration of National Poetry Day on 28 September; staff across The Prep were encouraged to share their favourite poems with pupils, as well as displaying them on their classroom or office doors. The pupils were delighted to read and discuss their favourite poems with them.

So, what is still to come for 2018 in the English Department? Plenty! Visiting authors Michael Gleason (author) and Victoria Taylor (illustrator) are visiting Lower School to talk about their Hideout Kids books set in the Wild West. We also have Nikki Sheehan, the award winning author of books such as Goodnight Boy, Swan Boy and Who Framed Klaris Cliff?, to look forward to. Richard Peirce is also visiting Cheltenham Prep to discuss his book Nicole, which revolves around a Great White Shark and the incredible journeys it undertakes.

Our wonderfully dynamic librarian, Pippa Carson, continues to ensure that the Library remains a colourful, inviting hub of reading and learning.

Challenge Mrs Carson to a game of chess or Scrabble, ask her for guidance on the latest releases, where to find books by authors from the Literature Festival, what text is being tackled by Book Club or which are the most popular books for boys and girls in particular year groups.

World Book Day on March 1st (more details to follow) is sure to bring another round of exciting activities, not to mention some wonderful costumes! And on Thursday 10 May, all of our Year 7 pupils will enjoy a trip to the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford-Upon-Avon to see Romeo and Juliet. Not only does this promise to be an original and compelling performance, but it will also compliment Year 7’s study of Shakespeare’s great tragedy this year.

We have also introduced a new initiative this year to promote reading amongst all our pupils across the whole school. Having successfully implemented the scheme in previous schools, Mr Clarke launched Caught You Reading during the Christmas Term. Every member of staff has special Caught You Reading slips, which are filled in and presented to pupils if they are found reading in their own free time. Pupils then take their slips to the Library, and pop them in the Caught You Reading box. Each Monday morning, before assembly, Mr Whybrow draws out a slip from the box, and the winner, who is announced in Assembly, then collects their prize from Mrs Carson in the Library.

Team of the Week - U11C

Well, what a fantastic result for our first match of the season! As it was our first outing as a large squad there was much experimenting with positions in this match.

Our focus for the afternoon was on having fun and supporting each other in the game, and it seemed a very successful approach.

Everyone gave it a real good go and there was a very positive vibe on the court and amongst all the team members. We have a lot of work to do on footwork and getting a little more assertive on court, but I couldn’t be more pleased with our first team effort.

Let’s hope we haven’t peaked (very) early and can win a few more in the weeks to come!

BOYS' SPORT Match Report for 1st Hockey v Downs, and Winchester House Festival Good training sessions and tough selection problems give hope for a strong start to a season, but until the first match starts there is no real way to see how thing will develop.

It was not good. We were totally dominated by a physically strong Downs team for the first 10 minutes of a game. We were unable to string two or more passes together and did not have possession in the opponent’s half at any time.

It was going to be a tough, long season.

In reality, we only conceded a single goal so we were still competitive in the match. Gradually we started to link together find our shape and move the ball into space. Confidence rose and suddenly we started to dominate the game, taking the lead before half time the opposition still thinking about their mistakes we played quickly and exploited this moving to a 5-1 lead in the second half only a late penalty flick brought the game back to 5-2. Things suddenly looked much brighter.

The Sunday morning took us to Winchester House for an early season hockey festival, (and roast lunch). We started playing very simple forehand hockey against Beachborough and totally dominated. We then tried to complicate the game and stopped scoring as a result. The matches against Bishops and Ashfold were much tighter affairs, both resulting in draws and all sides having chances to take the win. The game against Winchester House was tight too, but we managed to finish better than them and came out with a win.

The boys can be proud of their performance both on and off the pitch.
