Pressure makes diamonds. It takes a lot of pressure to turn carbon into a diamond: between 237,000 times atmospheric pressure (24 gigapascals) to 1.3 million times atmospheric pressure (136 gigapascals). This academic year has provided pressure such as I have never seen before in my career, and this pressure has fallen on the most precious asset we have in our schools and nurseries; our people. Some have faced the pressure of hosting international boarders, not just in term time but in the holidays, too. Others have faced the anxiety of being subject to that new phenomenon, furlough, and still others have been tasked with endlessly reviewing government guidance and drafting and redrafting plans and risk assessments in the highly regulated environment in which we all work. A Level and GCSE teachers have been under intense pressure not just to teach their courses but to provide the exam boards with accurate, fair and meticulously assessed grades;

grades which will determine the future chances of their pupils. We’ve all had to plan, adapt, review, reset and go again. There has been little or no respite and the demands have been intense. And I don’t want to downplay the lasting impacts of this on pupils, staff and leaders; in common with the rest of society, there will be much restoration and rebuilding required over the coming months and years. But already we have seen many, many diamonds emerge; creative, innovative, caring and highly committed people have produced outstanding education and childcare even against the towering odds that the pandemic has produced. It has been hard to stay close; we have often been isolated from one another by the pandemic and communication has been difficult. However, our schools and nurseries are emerging from this time - not just surviving, but thriving thanks to the diamonds who work here. Emma Taylor, CEO/Warden Dean Close Foundation

Close Projects Airthrie joins family of schools We are delighted to welcome Airthrie School (renamed Dean Close Airthrie School) into our diverse family of schools and nurseries. The Dean Close Foundation has one simple aim; to see every member of its community flourish. The Foundation is a growing, vibrant and diverse family of schools and nurseries, uniting around a shared vision and values’ says Emma Taylor, Warden and CEO of the Dean Close Foundation. The growth of the Dean Close Foundation is designed to provide financial strength and contribute educational best practice for all its schools and nurseries. This will provide further growth for the Foundation. Airthrie is a thriving prep school for children aged 3–11, and is suitable for parents seeking a small, nurturing environment for their child.

Cheltenham Education Partnership (CEP) In a year when schools have endured enforced closures and remained under the cloud of the global pandemic, CEP has remained active by providing online activity. For the first time, subject networking meetings were arranged for department Heads of Design and Technology, English, Art, Modern Foreign Languages, Maths, Science, Music as well as for Librarians. These enabled teaching colleagues to share good practice and discuss collaborative ventures. A photographic competition, ‘Cheltenham through the eyes of a teenager’, received good participation across the partnership and pupils from Dean Close were also involved in a long-term project, developing a Manifesto for Change in education. Stimulated by a Cheltenham Literature Festival event in October 2020 and led by two academics from the University of Gloucestershire, over 20 pupils across the 10 CEP schools created their manifesto, which was showcased at the 2021 Literature Festival.

Head of Adventure in Cheltenham Most schools have a Head of History or Head of Maths, but this year Dean Close has appointed its first ever Head of Adventure. Mike Beecham joined Dean Close School to oversee the new Adventure department, offering mountain biking, paddle sports, bushcrafts and rock climbing, to name but a few of the exciting activities on offer. Mr Beecham is no stranger to adventure and has experience leading expeditions trekking, paddling, biking and volunteering in the South American Andes and Amazon, Canadian Rockies, East and West Africa, Nepal, the Alps and Arctic Norway.

Outdoor classroom at St John’s The outdoor classroom was built in spring 2021 to provide a fabulous venue for outdoor learning. Used by a whole range of subjects throughout Prep and Pre-Prep, it’s been the perfect place for pupils to learn in a natural setting. |

Flourishing Fridays at DCSJS

Meat-Free Monday

Friday will definitely be everyone’s favourite day of the week next year at DCSJ, for ‘Flourishing Fridays’ will give every pupil a reason to smile at school. Designed to enhance our already amazing curriculum, Flourishing Fridays will give everyone a whole afternoon of something a little different.

At Dean Close School, Meat-Free Mondays started as a trial in April, two years ago, to see what the reaction would be like and then continued officially from September 2019.

Every pupil will have two blocks of five weeks across the year, split into one of three areas: community, wellbeing and the wild world. From outdoor learning to craft, from making visits once more to the care home to mastering a new skill, there will be lots to try. Ideas are still being formulated by the school’s Senior Leadership team (SLT) but they are sure to get pupils excited and eager to show off their skills before they head off for the weekend. Director of Studies, Mrs Shakeshaft, said: “We want to offer every child the best educational experience we can, and Flourishing Fridays will put the child at the centre of their own learning.”

As you can imagine, there has been some great feedback from teachers and certain quarters who are environmentally aware. Our greatest critics were the rugby boys, who believe the only source of protein is from animals. We provide some great protein alternatives including lentils, tofu, dairy, Seitan, pulses, grains and Jackfruit etc... On a normal lunch, we would need between 55kg–85kg of meat, depending on what is on the menu, to feed the 650+ community in the Senior School. Unsurprisingly, the cost of some vegetarian/vegan alternatives can be costly, but the payoff is great for the environment as, for the most part, the ingredients are ethically farmed.

New Baby Suite, Little Trees St Arvans Chorister Girls to join Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum Dean Close Preparatory School, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Abbey are delighted to announce a historic change to their chorister programme. From September 2021, chorister places in Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum will, for the first time, be open to both young girls as well as boys.

This has been in the making for a number of years, but during the pandemic, it was evident that there was a clear shortage of quality childcare provision within Monmouthshire, so we decided to proceed with our original plans of extending the nursery.

This exciting step presents an equal opportunity for young boys and girls of all ages and backgrounds to have access to the outstanding musical training that being a chorister brings, alongside a first-class education at Dean Close Preparatory School. This year, opportunities are open for girls and boys to begin as choristers in Tewkesbury Abbey Schola Cantorum in Years 4, 5 and 6 in September 2021.

The physical layout design of the space was designed to create a home from home feel to the nursery, that would best support babies’ routines at home, for smooth, settled transitions into nursery life. We have a dedicated sleep room as well as nappy changing areas and baby kitchen facilities that can support the babies’ weaning process individual to each baby. The decor design was chosen to fit with our rebrand in order to provide soothing, calm environments for children, whilst allowing them to feel safe and secure, and providing educational opportunities within their learning and development.

In a significant first for both Tewkesbury Abbey and Dean Close Preparatory School, the change will mean that boys and girls will have the opportunity to sing alongside one another on a daily basis.

We had a record number of new babies register to join the new baby suite before it was finalised, as we were able to COVID safely tour them around the space and share our vision, values and ethos. |

Close Accounts Financial Year 2019/20 This, of course, was a year like no other. Like every other organisation, we had to be nimble and decisive at the outset of the pandemic, protecting cash and being determined with cost control whilst providing the best possible education to children and service to parents. Across all entities, reduced income is estimated at £3.3m. Such a loss of income was ameliorated by significant effort to reduce costs internally. The Foundation obtained £1.1m from HMRC in Furlough grants and made internal savings of £1.7m for the Trinity term alone. These internal savings enabled us to significantly exceed the revised forecast for the year, carried out at the end of March 2020. We also benefited from the internal programme ‘Cost base 20’, an 18-month project which started in January 2019, saving £1m of permanent overhead. This financial year, we also were bearing the additional £0.5m of Teachers’ Pension Scheme employer’s contributions, which were increased by over 40% in September 2019. On the income side, we did see growth in pupil numbers at the Senior and Cheltenham Prep Schools in September 2020, and strong growth in most of the nurseries since reopening. |

16 16

All of the above plus robust financial control enabled the Foundation to generate a surplus (EBITDA) before interest, depreciation and amortisation of £584k and an overall accounting deficit of £1.1m. This was a significantly better position than the early forecasts in February 2020 and the Trustees are satisfied with the overall financial performance for the year. We took efforts to improve the Cash position, the available banking facilities were increased during the year and we saw an improvement in the investment portfolio (near cash), all of which strengthened the liquidity compared to prior years. The comprehensive risk model is reviewed at least termly by the Executive under Trustee scrutiny and reported to Trustees. Mitigation measures are applied timelessly where considered necessary. The Trustees are satisfied with the overall financial strength and resilience at the year end.

Close Voices Chaplain’s Reflection on Absence This past season has been marked perhaps primarily by its absences. Absence of physical proximity, faceto-face ease, serendipitous ‘bumping into’, thriving high streets and so on. It was into this concentrate of loss that the Dean Close community has had to come to terms with two of her own acute losses. First, the muchrespected and deeply loved Helen Porter, our long-standing director of music at DCS, and then Angus Caton, who endured his illness so bravely at such a tender age – a fourth former – both cruelly taken by brain tumours. One of the unkindnesses of grief in a pandemic is the tricks the general absences play in your mind with respect to these absences. Of course, it felt unreal that Helen and Angus had gone in any more profound sense than that anyone else from our community had gone – to work from home, teach and learn remotely. The fact that we no longer saw them walking between classrooms, sharing a coffee or hot chocolate and a laugh

...to enjoy what they enjoyed and to look back in thanks. had its normal significance removed, for the walkways were empty of anyone and laughter was loud in its absence. Slowly but surely, through the sharing of memories, our disbelief that death had stolen them from us – and through the more formal farewells – we realised what we wanted to deny and the tears came. The Dean Close community is undoubtedly poorer for their absence from us. Their physical legacy in the renamed Helen Porter Music Hall and Angus’ bench outside Dale will remind us to enjoy what they enjoyed and to look back in thanks, recognising that the poverty we now feel points to a richness they brought. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the Porters and Catons as time marches on and their grief remains.

Introduction of the Dean Close Foundation Values

Dean Close has always had a strong sense of what is important, and visitors frequently comment on the warm, family feel of the school and the sense that every individual pupil is valued and encouraged to ‘find their thing’ in which to excel and thrive. In the past, this culture has been largely, to quote George Herbert ‘something understood’, without ever being fully crystallised into words. It stems from the school’s Christian foundation and from the many decades of reinforcing and reapplying vital truths, for example that every human being is made in the image of God, and that we are intended to experience life in all its fullness.

With the advent of the Dean Close Foundation and the addition of new schools and nurseries to the group, it has been important to find a way of capturing these vital but intangible characteristics of the Dean Close culture, so that all members of the community can identify with them, promote them and unite around them. In 2020, we embarked upon a process of establishing our Foundation Stones, the key values at the heart of the Dean Close Foundation. This involved wide consultation, with a working group drawn from across the schools, nurseries, business and administrative

areas, to ensure that the values were applicable not only to children and young people but to staff with a variety of areas of expertise and responsibility, as well. In September 2020, we launched the Foundation Stones; our key overarching aim of Flourishing, with its supporting values of Courage, Contribution and Love. To flourish is much more than just to do well academically or to excel in one or more areas of school life. It is about really thriving; being healthy in mind, body and spirit, reaching one’s full potential. It is a big aim, but we don’t apologise for that; we want every child, young person and adult involved with the Foundation to find it a place that supports them in becoming their very best self.

To do so, we want to encourage each individual to develop the Courage to try new things and to keep trying, seeing temporary setbacks as opportunities to grow and learn. We want to develop a culture of Contribution, where each individual knows that they have something to offer, both within school and later in wider society. And we want to celebrate and promote Love; not a sentimental love but one which looks to make life better for friends, family and wider society, and challenges selfishness and apathy. These Foundation Stones are big ideas, but we want our young people and our colleagues to think big, aim high and set challenging standards for ourselves.

Close Future One of the benefits of the Foundation structure over this period has been that, despite the demands of responding to the changing picture during the COVID-19 pandemic, we have kept our eyes on the longer-term strategy and planning for the future of our schools and nurseries. There will inevitably be economic and social turbulence over the coming months, but I am enormously optimistic that we will have the financial stability and strategic direction to ensure that we continue to offer our young people and their families the unique features of a Dean Close education well into the future. Our development priorities for the coming years will be closely focused on sustainability, on securing funding for our transformational bursary project and on 21st-century facilities to support our thoughtful and innovative curriculum. I would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to our many supporters and I look forward to the next phase of our journey together. Emma Taylor, CEO/Warden Dean Close Foundation

Futures Campaign: 21st Century Campus

Since the launch of our Futures campaign in 2018, the School has been committed to creating a new generation of teaching facilities – to encourage excitement and collaboration. In September 2020, we successfully completed Phase 1 of our ambitious plan, the Day House Village, which has transformed the experience of our day pupils and unlocked large areas for development at the heart of the School. This relocation allowed us to embark on Phase 2 of our campaign, the Quad Project.

The 1886 Centre Maths, Business and Economics In May 2021, the Development Office, who are responsible for driving philanthropy at the School, launched the first-ever Giving Day. In a spectacular show of support, our community came together over 24 hours and raised over £500,000. With the additional support of a Legacy gift, we were able to transform the front corridor area of the School for the new 1886 Centre, where Maths, Business and Economics are located; an exciting and important milestone for the Quad Project. The Maths, Business and Economics Centre provides an inspirational learning space. With modern teaching facilities and a business-like environment, we will undoubtably encourage our pupils to develop business skills as well as facilitating a truly inspirational and

outward-looking approach to the teaching of Maths, Business and Economics at Dean Close School. Those familiar with the main school building will see little change from the outside, but the internal front corridor will look very different: modern facilities, glass panels replacing some brick walls, and the generation of better natural light and more sustainable energy measures. We are thrilled by the support shown for this new development, which is a clear demonstration of loyalty and commitment from our community of ODs, parents and friends to Dean Close. As we make plans for the next phase of the campaign, we do so with a sense of optimism and confidence.

It is an honour to have the opportunity to support the continued development of the STEM subjects at Dean Close. It is such an exciting area at all levels now and in the future, so Dean Close having the ability to teach in top-class facilities is just brilliant. Richard Hildick-Smith (Brook Court 2005)

Futures Campaign: Foundation Awards

What is a Foundationer? A Foundationer is someone in receipt of a Foundation Award. The Foundation Awards were launched in 2018 and offer means-tested transformational bursaries to bright, talented and deserving pupils who would not otherwise have the financial means to benefit from our unique style of education.

For several years, Dean Close has been providing bursaries but, in 2018 the Dean Close Foundation launched the Foundation Awards as part of our Futures campaign. The campaign is committed to increasing access and diversity through funding one Foundationer in every year group in every house at the Senior School. Over the past three years, we have made fantastic progress with the Foundation Awards and we have been able to support five Foundationers through means-tested 70–100% fee reduction bursaries. 26

Our success so far is built on the commitment of ODs, parent, staff, former staff and the wider Close community. This support has allowed us to provide life-changing opportunities to bright young people. Combined with funds from the Foundation, parents from the Class of 2019 came together to create a Foundation Award in their children’s names, raising over £10,000. The Sixth Form girl boarder joins us in September; we wish her every success.

The parents from the Class of 2020, along with the Old Decanian Society, raised over £20,000 to support families who experienced hardship during the COVID-19 pandemic. This crucial support ensured that the Foundation was able to provide necessary fee support for those families that required it the most.

Our Foundationers

Eve

found herself in the mixed Remove House, Beech, and I came across her again in my French set and I have got to know her in that context. The ability range of the set is huge and Eve is one of a small group targeting top grades (as she is in all subjects). She is exemplary in her work ethic, achieving a steady set of Green Chits across all her subjects – teachers commending her for outstanding effort and achievement week by week.

(and she is) – but she also knows how to have fun and enjoy herself, and I look forward to seeing her develop further in the next couple of years. I am sure that she will be a leader within the House and know that she will be a great role model and also someone eager to support girls in younger years.

By the summer term, last year, Eve was in Mead House with me and I have seen her in the context of her peer group but also interacting with older and younger pupils via our House ‘families’. She is a thoughtful and caring girl and I can rely on her to act with integrity and kindness. She was an obvious choice to meet my new Fourth Form parents and pupils online via Zoom at the start of this year and was a great ambassador for the House and for the School.

Charlie Montgomery OD

This all makes her sound very ‘worthy’

Thank you, ODs, from her Housemistress, for your support of her!

Cherissa

is doing really well. She is studying Art, Biology, Chemistry and Physics at A Level and doing well – working very hard to balance four A levels. She is a great asset in House: kind, polite, thoughtful and helpful. The younger girls really look up to her and she can often be found plaiting their hair. She is also a great support for her younger siblings (both at DCPS) and she meets with them every Sunday for church. She recently represented Dean Close at the Cheltenham Education Partnership event at the Cheltenham Literature Festival. I know she was very active over the summer helping with her parents’ charity (New Sight Congo) – designing and making glasses, and she helps produce their magazine. She is ambitious to study Medicine and has also done some work experience in Birmingham and London.

Cherissa is a member of the senior school academic society called the Bowden Society. She attends the Senior Society and is giving a talk to the Junior Society soon. She also continues to contribute actively to the School’s Music department, playing piano (she did a recent Scholars’ concert on Friday 12th November) and playing her violin in the School orchestra. She is also a member of the School choir, which practices regularly. Unfortunately, COVID has limited the opportunities to perform so much this year.
