New Student Leadership Team
We have once again selected our new Head Boy and Head Girl for the forthcoming academic year. Eleven candidates applied for the role of Head Boy and Girl this year. All candidates were interviewed on Tuesday 23rd April and from those eleven candidates, five were then shortlisted to do a presentation using PowerPoint explaining why they thought they would be the right person for the role of Head Boy/Girl.
They presented to a special panel, which comprised Miss Woodhouse, Mr Bradwell, members of the Sixth Form Team, the current Head Boy and Girl and Senior Prefect, and members of the School Council from the sixth form and lower school. The presentations took place on Wednesday 8th May with the girls going first, followed by the boys. After the panel had listened to the presentations by each candidate,

From the Head…. parents, teachers and the wider community in coming months as part of our new School Development Plan.
Dear Parents Public examinations are now upon us; I have just come from the examination hall where all of our Year 11 students are currently sitting GCSE English Literature and our Year 12s are tackling a Critical Thinking Paper. Looking at the rows of students sitting in silence with their heads down, writing furiously things don’t seem too different to my own examination experience many years ago! On closer inspection, though, examinations have changed somewhat over recent years. When clearing out my loft, I came across some of my A level question papers; the Biology written papers look similar to today’s papers (but modern students are spared the traumas of cutting open a male rat to expose and label the uro-genital system as I was required to do under examination conditions) but the History and Geography papers appear considerably more challenging today. In the 1970s, a student had to KNOW a lot of facts in order to score high marks; today, there is much more emphasis on UNDERSTANDING and APPLICATION of knowledge. Of course, knowledge underpins these higher level aspects of learning and its importance should not be underestimated, but today’s students will be much better prepared, I believe, for the fastmoving world in which we live.
the Secretary of State for Education’s apparent “U-turn” on changing the name of GCSEs to EBCs, the underlying principles of his reforms remain exactly as he intended. The English Baccalaureate will continue to be a benchmark of achievement (perhaps with the addition of a creative subject as well as the current English, Maths, Humanities and Language components). Students currently in Year 9 and below will face a testing regime of new-style examinations where there is, once again, a greater focus on knowledge, no modular examinations, November re-takes in GCSE English and Maths only (ie after the end of the course), more long, essay-style answers and higher bars to gaining the top grades. Coursework/controlled assessments are being further limited. It has been suggested that the current grading system of A*-G at GCSE may be replaced by a numerical score ranking all of the national entrants. Whether or not this is going to improve the outcomes for young people remains to be seen as, with any reform, it takes time for the new systems to bed in and for the results to be evaluated. I hope that the reforms are successful because our country’s future will be shaped by them. I see our role at Warlingham as preparing students well for whatever public examination system is in force; qualifications enable students to exercise choice later in their lives. The quality of LEARNING is far deeper than this, though, and we will be entering into a GREAT DEBATE about this with students,
Black Forest Trip
Having said this, you will be aware from the national media that the examination system is facing a fundamental overhaul. Although there was widespread reporting of
I would like to end with a reminder that it is not only the older students who are facing examinations; Test Week for all year groups is taking place (as per the published calendar) straight after half term. These are very important because they provide an experience of accountability and students get to understand how to become successful in examination conditions by practising on a regular basis; they will learn what revision strategies work best for them and how to manage those pre-exam nerves. Students have been provided with a revision booklet covering all subjects to help structure their preparation and have had tips during assemblies and lessons. Parental engagement in the revision process is always welcomed. As well as working very hard with students in the final throes leading up to examinations, we have been ensuring that we have the right staff in place for the next academic year. We have appointed deputy headteachers (to replace Mr Bradwell and Mr Price – both of whom have headship posts) and I am pleased to announce that Mr Day (currently Assistant Head at Warlingham) and Mr Kinder (currently Assistant Head in another school) will be taking up these posts from September. We are in the process of appointing a new Assistant Headteacher. I feel that summer still has not arrived and, selfishly, I’m hoping it will do so spectacularly next week when I am booked in for a British sea-side holiday with my family; ice creams and sun hats are far more appealing than brollies and windbreaks on the beach!

Football fever... Goaldigger is a simulation devised for Year 8 students, during which, in teams of six, the students form a football club for the day. Using specially designed dice and playing fields they play fixtures and earn money for their clubs through a variety of means—including by completing various skill challenges. They also design promotional items for their club, such as kit and scarves and are responsible for managing a budget which they use to bid for players, a football ground, coaching and training faciltiies, etc. It’s always a very noisy event as the students— and the staff (Mr Ashdown and Mr Polyviou!) can be quite loud! The noise is a reflection of the excitement and fun that can reach fever pitch at various points throughout the day as everyone enters into the competitive spirit. It’s not just about having fun though as the students learn some very important life skills, including team working, negotiating, working to deadlines and rational decision-making. We measure the improvement in these skills by asking the students to do an audit before participating and an evaluation after the day, in this way, we can measure how their skills have improved.

Very young footballers... and Thursday 2nd May (Year 4 Competition at Hamsey Green).
The sporting calendar for the last twelve months has been badly affected by the weather which has meant that so many local competitions have been cancelled or postponed. Fortunately this term, the weather has been a little kinder and the Primary Year 6 and Year 4 Competitions were re-scheduled for Wednesday 1st May (Year 6 Competition at St. John’s)
The Primary schools often struggle for referees and so Mrs Salem was asked if any Young Ambassadors would be willing to officiate at these events. Six of them were selected to help. On Wednesday 1st May, Adam Ledger, Nathan Ashburn, and Regan Beck were asked to help at the Year 6 tournament. Thanks to Mrs Dearden we were able to arrive at the event on time as her son was also playing GK for Hamsey Green. We were kept busy on a glorious sunny afternoon and had the opportunity to referee some closely contested matches. The results were all very close but much to Mrs Dearden’s delight Hamsey Green were the Year 6
Winners, Whyteleafe second and St. John’s third. On Thursday it was the turn of the Year 4 children, but this time the competition was hosted by Hamsey Green. This time our referees were: Ollie Meadows, Dan Cook, Sonny Barton, and Regan Beck. The weather held and they had to keep up their concentration when many of the parents on the side-line were keen for their child’s school to win. There was a nail biting finish in this competition; a play-off between St. John’s and Hamsey. It went to penalties and again Hamsey Green were the victors. Thank you to Mr Moses at St. John’s and Mr Mace at Hamsey for giving our Young Ambassadors this opportunity to practice their leadership skills and officiate at these exciting competitions.
Understanding Astrophysics

for asking one too many questions in Physics, this was a perfect chance for me to get some answers. After lunch, we then had a Physics lesson teaching us how to identify what a line absorption spectra would look like if we knew the colours of stars. This was useful revision for our exam and helped us to understand Astrophysics On the 2nd of May, the year 13 Physics students went on a trip to the Royal Observatory in Greenwich to gain a deeper understanding of Astrophysics. The journey of the universe began inside the Planetarium where we were
made to feel insignificant because of the vastness of space around us and what lies outside our galaxy. It also prompted us to philosophise about what may lie at the edge of the universe and if there was anything beyond it. As someone who is known
better.
College, students are taught in all of their subjects using the English language; they also listen to a lot of British music and watch UK television so the students were almost fluent, even at such a young age.
The picture shows some of the gifts they presented to the school.
Overall, at least partially thanks to the nice weather, we had a great time at the Observatory!
Dutch visit On St George’s Day, we played host to 40 students aged 11-14 from Moller College in The Netherlands. The group was on an educational visit to the UK and wanted to experience life at an English school. They had heard about our links with schools from other countries and our International Schools’ Award through the British Council; we came recommended as an “Ambassador School”. The students had a tour of the school and then attended lessons for the rest of the day. Each Dutch student had an English “buddy” who took them to lessons and “showed them the ropes” during break and lunchtime. They were amazed by the fact that our students wear school uniform (not common in many schools on the continent); we were amazed by their excellent grasp of English! At Moller
Thank you to all of the Warlingham students who made our Dutch visitors so welcome.

Coach to ‘Crowded Coasts’
On Sunday 24th March 2013 year 12 and 13 geography students set off on a threenight trip to Swanage, with Mrs Green, Mr Fraser, Mr Gardner and Mr Coombes. On the way to Swanage we stopped off in Southampton to look at urban rebranding and to investigate the impact of rebranding on local residents. Whilst in Southampton we completed some fieldwork methods such as environmental quality surveys, rebranding surveys and questionnaires. All this will be helpful for us when taking our exam. After spending a few hours in Southampton, we then made our way to Swanage. When we arrived in Swanage, the girls and boys split up into different hotels. We then unpacked our bags and had some free time before dinner. After dinner the year 12 girls went down to the boys’ hotel to complete an exam question and a presentation on rebranding, whilst the year 13 boys went up to the girls’ hotel to have their lesson.
The next day we worked on our other topic of Crowded Coasts. We visited a number of places along the coastline such as Lyme Regis, West Bay, Chesil Beach and Lulworth Cove. Whilst visiting these areas along the coastline we completed more fieldwork such as beach quality surveys and took some helpful and relevant photographs. We then returned to our hotels to have a break before dinner and then a lesson on what we had done during the day after dinner. On the second day we again focused on crowded coasts. However, we visited Studland Bay and focused again on fieldwork but more specifically different fieldwork techniques and methods such as using the quadrats to look at vegetation in the sand-dunes. After we completed this work we made our way back to the coach and were then dropped off nearby Old Harry. We then began a very long walk up a cliff to Old Harry (a coastal stack). After passing
Old Harry we then continued on our walk back to Swanage. After this we then walked into the town of Swanage to complete a land use map. After a long cold and tiring day we returned back to our hotels and had some free time to rest before dinner and our evening lesson. The next morning it was time for us to pack up and say goodbye to Swanage. On our journey back home we stopped in the town of Boscombe, a rebranded costal environment, and focused again on the first topic of rebranding, but more specifically coastal rebranding. We also recorded some of the coastal landscape features in Boscombe. After this we got back on the coach and headed on a long journey back to school. We all had a fantastic time despite the very cold weather, the walking and the work! However, all the work completed will be very beneficial to the geography students. Thank you to Mrs Green, Mr Gardner, Mr Fraser and Mr Coombes for organising and accompanying us on our field trip.

Gold Award for Chris the Earl of Wessex. Thankfully there wasn’t too much to learn and my smile and my chat with the Earl was enough. While we were waiting the arrival of the Earl of Wessex we had a guest speaker. We were privileged to meet Greg Searle who in the past 2012 London Olympics achieved a Bronze medal in the men’s eight rowing and has previously won a Gold medal in past Olympics. He spoke to us sharing with us how to take this award with us through life and to remember it as a spectacular achievement.
On the 11th December 2012, I went to St James’ Palace to receive my Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. The day started outside of St James’ Palace where I waited for my time to enter the palace. Inside the palace it was very grand and had many famous paintings of past monarchs. A live band was playing and my allocated seat was there waiting for me. I waited for the Grand Hall to fill up with other students from the south east region that had also completed their Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award. We were then seated and instructed about what would occur throughout the day and how to present ourselves to
Once the speaker had finished, the Earl of Wessex arrived and we were sat within our regional groups. I spoke to the Earl myself about my experiences through the expeditions I took part in both in the Lake District and the Brecon Beacons. I was sharing my experiences of the very best days and the days where I’d been knee-deep in mud. I then discussed how I achieved my physical activity by swimming for a club and also that I played piano which helped me achieve my skills section of the award. My voluntary award kept him interested when he heard that I had been with the St Johns Ambulance Service and I spoke about when I went out on duty to help. Finally I told the Earl of Wessex about my time in China which I had visited through the school.
This was seen as my residential placement. I found myself having one of the most extravagant places out of anybody there with the country I had been to and also one of the most privileged. We then waited whilst the Earl of Wessex and Greg Searle presented us with our Gold Duke of Edinburgh Awards. It felt like the proudest day of my life and the Earl gave me my award as he congratulated me. I would like to thank all the teachers who contributed to the time and effort in my entire Bronze, Silver and Gold Duke of Edinburgh award. I am most grateful for you giving up your spare time to help people like me achieve the best of out of life and I am grateful to the many leaders of the Duke of Edinburgh Award over the years. A big thank you to Mr Jackson for his help with the Gold award. I am no longer a student at Warlingham School as I left in 2011 to begin a university course and am now thoroughly enjoying this. I would encourage other students to take up the Duke of Edinburgh Award Scheme, as not only is it a massive achievement to have, but it also looks very good on your CV in the future years!
Chris is our first student to attend the Gold D of E ceremony at St James’ Palace.
A career is like... … a box of chocolates On Wednesday 1st May, Andrew Tinney a very influential figure and experienced businessman spoke to us (Year 12) about careers, which he described as being “like a box of chocolates” for the mere fact that you never know what you will get. His talk took us on a journey through his life; how he started from a ‘cute’ child actor in TV commercials and the series ‘Carrie’s War’ to becoming a financial specialist. Mr Tinney explained to us the importance of university and how it helped him become more ‘competitive’ although there were not many graduates in his time. Presently, about a third of the population goes to university, so it is now even more competitive. Although Mr Tinney has climbed the ladder to senior managerial positions in the finance world, it has not all been
smooth. He was an unlimited liability partner in Arthur Andersen when the partnership was dissolved and he is – still today – liable for any debts … awkward!! I learned that it is important to keep an open mind and to never stop climbing and learning. Life is a learning experience and even outside of school and university you learn: “a job can be like being on an escalator, if you stop walking upwards, you can find yourself going backwards.’ I enjoyed the talk and as a result am now more confident with the choices I

want to make in university, in life and the careers and workplaces I would like to receive employment from. I will take risks and although it is hard to do that, I will try not to allow it to alter my decisions; with the biggest risks comes a bigger reward. And the reward could be a lesson….
Questions for the QC...
Sophie Read and Jack Tandridge with Clive Sheldon, QC On Tuesday 22nd April 2013, Year 12 and 13 Law Students were fortunate enough to be visited by barrister, Clive Sheldon, who was previously an attorney in New York. Mr Sheldon
spoke about the role of a solicitor and barrister whilst also explaining what training has to be undertaken in order to qualify as either of the above before then going on to talk about both the
positives and negatives of both. He proceeded to mention a number of law cases he was involved in; many of which were fairly well-known to us. The most publicised of these cases was to do with the downgrading of English exams, which occurred last year and Mr Sheldon was the head barrister of the prosecution. After giving us an in-depth speech that gave us an insight into the various requirements of a barrister, Mr Sheldon answered all our questions, and allowed a couple of students to try on the black gown and wig that is unique to barristers. Overall, the experience was enjoyable and beneficial to all of the students, thanks to Mr Sheldon and Ms Benjamin.

showing the students how it was done). One of our senior Prefects, Katie Fernandez said “the day went as smoothly as we could have planned, despite the rain all the events were very successful and the dancing was a hit. The whole school participated well but year 7 were the clear winners when it came to enthusiasm”. The sixth form students arranged a fun, fundraising day for Comic Relief and Red Nose day. We began the day with various sporting activities which included ball tag and ‘flash mob’ style dancing. Each year took turn at participating in the activities over the course of the day.

Staff News Mrs Meredith has left to join the Science department at another school. Mrs Randall has started her maternity leave.
Biology Conference On 18th April 2013, a group of AS Biology students visited Surrey University for a revision conference, organised by Mr. Cole and Mr. Chotai. On arriving, we found the university to be very pleasant and couldn’t help but notice the many strange sculptures scattered around the campus on our way to the lecture hall, such as fish riding bicycles. Expecting a dull examiner to take the lectures, we were pleasantly surprised when AQA’s ex Head Examiner was quite funny and seemed genuinely kind. He began with a lecture on how examiners aren’t evil but actually want you to do well, helping us to realise how the exam papers really are actually written to help us! This has definitely encouraged us to approach

our upcoming exams more positively and will hopefully help us to keep calm during the exam. The next lectures focused on the content of the biology unit. We learnt several new things that we thought would really help us in our exam. During lunch we were able to tour the campus and found many weird and wonderful things, including a Jamaican banana! There was a nice university shop and library along with plenty of coffee to be drunk. With one last lecture to go, we settled down after lunch and spent the final hour learning how to deal with “How Science Works” questions, one of the sections of the exam that we had previously found particularly tricky.
Sixth Form Video In April, we welcomed two students from Ravesbourne, a higher education institution in Greenwich that specialises in digital media and design. The students were filming some video footage for us for our new Sixth Form website. The finished films will be added to the website, so that prospective sixth form students of the school can experience current students talking about the courses and facilities available in the Sixth Form. Adam Solodujin, who was leading the project, is an exstudent of the school. He was ably assisted by one of his colleagues - also called Adam - and some of our current Year 12’s who are studying Film Studies or Media studies. It was a great opportunity for those students to be ‘on set’ whilst the filming was going on. We also gave members of staff video cameras so they could record some footage whilst out on various trips, including the Geography trip to Swanage, the Business Studies trip to New York and a trip to a Law conference. The footage is now being edited into short films - one for each of ten subjects which will appear on the website very soon.
Overall, the trip was really helpful and was a great experience.

Multi-skills Festival
On Tuesday 14th May we hosted a multi-skills festival for the Year 3 & 4 Primary School age-group. The idea of this festival is to provide an opportunity for young children who are not always selected for school teams to have an opportunity to compete. It is also to provide an opportunity for inter-school competition at a younger age as many sporting competitions often target Year 5 & 6. With all of these events we rely on the weather. On the morning of the event the sun was shining but by the time all the schools arrived, the first droplets of rain had appeared - a perfect English summer! After an initial short spell of rain we decided to crack on with the competition. All the young Primary School children were fabulous together with their parents and staff who cheered them on in the rain. It was, however, the work and
dedication of the Warlingham Young Ambassadors who kept the show on the road. Each Young Ambassador was attached to a team of twelve students and they had to organise and coach their team as the members took part in the different skills. This really tested their leadership skills. Points were awarded for the different skills and by the end of the morning these were the results: 1st – Whyteleafe 2nd – Hamsey Green 2 3rd – St. John’s 2 4th – Hamsey Green 1 5th – Woodlea 1 6th St. John’s 1 7th Woodlea 2 Four schools took part, three of which brought two teams each, so we had 84 delightful primary children competing for medals and the winning cup. Behind the scenes, the P.E. department, Site Staff and Jesse James provided the
facilities and helped set up and made sure that we had some shelter to cope with the rain. Lynn Banwell SSCo/TR from de Stafford yet again provided super support, prior to and during the event, to ensure that we had a set of results. Pam Mutter did a fabulous job with the resources and Jeanette Atrkins was kind enough to brave the rain to take some lovely photographs. The following Young Ambassadors were a credit to the school: Year 9 Jack Perry, Amin Lmoh, Calum Stringer, Shayan Patel, Chris D’Souza, Ollie Baker, Danielle Melling, Leah Barden, Eloise Kitchener, Rebecca McDonald, Daisy Roadnight, Immy Ardley, Domonic Montgomery, Lauren Pinkney, Lauren Hall, Year 10 Tom Williamson, Alice Hobson, Maisie Stock and George Beamont.
Winning photography On Tuesday the 23rd of April, Mr Garwell, Charlotte Hedley and I were invited to attend the award ceremony of the Croydon Rotary Club photo competition in the Clock tower Cafe in Croydon. After everyone had arrived the Mayor of Croydon began by introducing himself and the judges of the competition, after this he began to read out the awards. The Mayor began with the over 17's award; I did not expect that I would win again this year. When the Mayor called out my name for the winner at first I couldn't believe that I had won. I walked up and received my award, shook the Mayor's hand and he congratulated me. After all of the awards had been given the
three of us went around looking at the other entries in the over 17's category and the under 17's category, then we had a brief chat with some of the judges about what they thought of our

Melissa Gordon Student Services Assistant Melissa Gordon joined the students services team in April. Her role is to assist the new Student Services Manager - who will join us in June - in providing an effective support service to students. She will also provide First Aid and medical care for students, as required. We asked her to tell us a little about herself, in her own words... “I’m the new Student Services Assistant and a first aider. Previously I have worked in Administration & Finance for a nursery, then Administration & Pastoral Care in Adult Education. Then I took time out to have two children. My daughter is two going on three and my son is ten months old. They keep me very busy and on my toes!
I have also completed my PTLLS (Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector) , and counselling course and am waiting to undertake DTLLS (Diploma in Teaching in the Lifelong Learning Sector) and Level 5 Counselling to become BACP
accredited to work with young people and adults. My hobbies are: watching football (when I get the chance), badminton, taking my kids to see the latest animated film (when really it’s for me) and baking cakes.”
News from the LRC This year’s annual Scholastic Book Fair took place in the Learning Resource Centre in March. Once again Year 7 and 8 students were invited to come to the LRC during one of their English lessons to have a browse through the huge range of books, posters and stationary on sale. The fair was very successful and we have managed to raise £210 worth of free books for the LRC, which is fantastic news. The feedback we had back was very positive and I would like to thank you all very much for your support. Keep an eye out for details of an exciting forthcoming event to be held in the LRC towards the end of the Summer term… details to follow nearer the time.

a quiz and won some bats and balls to play with.
On Thursday 25th April 2013, 23 students went to the Oval accompanied by Mr Ashdown and Mr James. We went there to watch the Surrey versus Sussex county test cricket match. We were invited to this by the Surrey schools organisation for the second year in a row.
At the beginning of the day, Surrey were on 301-7, but at the end of their innings they were all out for 351. Sussex were 27-1 when we left. I think everyone enjoyed themselves, especially as we had the hottest day of the year so far, also because we all did
It was a great experience being in such a famous sporting venue. I think all the students from Warlingham School at the Oval were a real credit to the school. I would like to thank Mr Ashdown and Mr James on behalf of all the students that came on the trip; it was an amazing and enjoyable day.
