On the 23rd and 25th of November, students at King's
Leadership performed their first full length musical, Oliver by
Lionel Bart.
Based on the story of the same name by Charles Dickens, Oliver
meanders through the underworld of crime in Victorian England.
The tale tells the story of a young orphan and his struggle for
survival. Turning to a life of crime Oliver is caught in a battle
between good and evil.
All of the students worked incredibly hard to produce such a
polished and perfected piece of theatre.

would not have been possible. So thank you from all the
students!
The aim of the drama and music department has always been
to produce productions of the highest quality, and the
students certainly didn't let them down. All performers acted
in the most professional manner showing endeavour at all
times, after all it is no easy task to remember the lines for a
show that lasts 2 hours.
The buzz on stage when the final curtain came down was
palpable. The tears and hugs were illustrative of how much
fun and enjoyment each student got out of having the
opportunity to perform.
Special thanks must go to all the staff that worked behind the
scenes. From set builders to lighting technicians and band
arrangements to costume making, the staff worked tirelessly
on this production. Without them, that 'buzz' after the show
We would also like to thank parents and families for their
aid, assisting the performers to learn their lines and songs
(we are sure that you know them as well as the children
now!) and to the audience for coming out to watch the
culmination of months of hard work. We could not have
achieved it without the support of you.
Thank you once again to the Supporters of King’s for
providing refreshments and raffle for the performances and
to Mr Garrity for liaising with the team.
The biggest thank you must certainly go to our cast.
Students have demonstrated professionalism and
endeavour throughout and their talent shone through. It has
been a pleasure to work with you. We are looking forward to
our next production very soon!

On Tuesday 22 November, twenty of our new
recruits travelled to Inskip near Preston to
develop their aviation knowledge, practical
understanding of leadership and scale the
dizzy heights of the new rock climbing wall.
The day started with classroom based
lessons looking at the development of
heavier than air flight and how the modern
day airframes have Air Balloons and
Canvass Gliders to thank for their existence.
Cadets then looked at the modern role
of the Royal Air Force and how it fits
into the Defence of the United Kingdom
as well as it’s role supporting the North
Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and
the United Nations (UN).
Through a series of group tasks, cadets
also understood the importance of
security of assets, the structure of an
RAF station and the branches of the
RAF.
After lunch, we split into two groups, the
first working on practical leadership
using the new purpose built low ropes
course.

The focus was on Adair’s model of Team, Task, Individual
and considering the idea that a team is better than an
individual only if what you can achieve together is more than
what you can achieve on your own.
This hypothesis was proven true in all stages of the ropes
course as cadets needed to support one another in order to
succeed at the task.
The second group, worked on challenging themselves
through rock climbing. As a group, we looked at the idea of
challenge and working at the edge of your comfort zone, how
this applies stress and how positive self-talk (saying you can
do something) works to help you achieve. Cadets also really
enjoyed the challenge of trying to get to the top!
Overall, the cadets really enjoyed the variety of the Field Day
at Inskip and this was certainly a worthwhile opportunity.
Special thanks to Flight Lieutenant C Rayment and Sergeant
G Bell for supporting the Field Day.

Anti-Bullying week is a great week to reflect and inform
students of the issues that they may see, witness or have
experienced. It highlights how important it is as a school to
work together as a “King’s family” to prevent any form of
bullying. The week was packed with lots of fun.
In the Zone each day there was a focus on areas to POWER
UP your character. Each day at lunchtime, a house leader
organised different sessions to help those wanting to
become a stronger, respectful young adult. Miss Aldridge
focused on how to be more assertive. Students assessed
themselves on whether they were passive aggressive or
aggressive in different situations and advice was given on
how to become more assertive in every day events.
On the yard lunch time: Students took part in a POWER
Challenge - A competition in which they had to beat the
Super House Leader. Miss Aldridge was out competing with
students who could “squat” the longest. The Winner was
Liam Chriscoli-Thackary who managed to hold the position
for 4 minutes and 32 seconds!
The local police officers also came into the Academy to
speak to students about any issues they may have.
Gaynor Gartland, the school nurse attended and was happy
to speak to students who would like any further support.
Jake Ryder from the Warrington Wolves team, joined King’s for a whole school assembly to
highlight the importance of Mental Health and how bullying can contribute in a negative way
towards mental wellbeing.
The Assembly was superb, and it highlighted interesting facts. Warrington Wolves are looking for
advocates from King’s to help stamp out the negative stigma around Mental Health. They were
scouting for students who would like to help with that and attend a course to be a Wolves’
advocate for mental health. If you are interested please see Miss Aldridge for more details.
During the assembly we all used the #Smile hash tag to post our smile picture to the Twitter
account at Wolves Check out our assembly selfie!
House leaders were dressed up in their house colours, to promote themselves as being student
advocates towards helping and supporting them with any bullying issues. We hope you liked our
superhero outfits!

POWER UP in assembly:
Mr Bowden and the Year 11 GCSE Drama group, produced outstanding drama productions
aimed to:
Inform
Educate
Change minds
The performances educated all students on the effects of bullying and how this affects the
victims of bullying. It also highlighted as to why perpetrators bully, and how allowing them
to bully contributes to further bullying. The performance was very interactive, and fully
engaged the audience, they achieved this by asking questions, and allowing the audience to
evaluate the effect bullying has in school and all of us can work together to STOP bullying
from occurring.
A huge congratulation to the Year 11 GCSE Drama class and a special thank you to Mr
Bowden for arranging the assemblies.

King’s Leadership Academy has smashed its target for this year’s
Operation Christmas Child shoebox appeal with a record breaking 68
boxes collected, wrapped and filled with gifts such as toys, pens,
games and other goodies for underprivileged children around the
world.
That means there will be 68 happy children who otherwise, due to
poverty, war or a number of other reasons, would not have received
anything this Christmas and may never have received a gift before in
their life.
Chloe would like to thank all those who participated for their
generosity, enthusiasm and time. King’s would like to say a MASSIVE
thank you in particular to Chloe for your endeavour in making a
difference!

On the 28th November, Year 8 student Miruna Ghica
travelled to London to take part in the World of Dance
Competition. The world’s biggest celebration of urban
dance and music culture, the World of Dance
competition scours the globe searching for top dancing
talent.
Along with the rest of her dance troupe, Miruna
performed a piece about recent police brutality and
racism going on in the world.
The team did extremely well in the competition, being
placed 3rd overall! They will now go on to compete in LA
in August 2017 to represent the UK.
They are the first team from Manchester to ever qualify
at World of Dance to represent their country. We couldn't
be more proud of Miruna’s achievements and we will be
cheering for them in the upcoming finals!

Year 8 student Alicia Cox came away triumphant and
even sporting a silver medal after competing in the
ASA National championships last weekend. The
Championships took place at GL1 Leisure Centre in
Gloucester on the 2-4 December and featured some of
the finest young synchronised swimmers in England.
There were 323 individual competitors entered across
all of the events. Alicia swam as a soloist, as one half
of a duo and for her team, City of Salford in the
competition.
Alicia did extremely well ranking 4th for her duet and
10th overall for her solo performances. Second place
in the team competition went to City of Salford, who
had a beautifully choreographed routine, which
featured four lifts and lots of figures. Their theme was
Dolphins and used music from the dolphin show at
Seaworld to really bring the theme to life. They scored
57.3000 and finished on 112.2983 overall. A huge well
done!
A variety of students embarked on an exciting trip led by Mr
Bowden from the Drama department, to Liverpool's Playhouse
Theatre on the 9th November to watch the renowned horror
‘The Woman in Black’.
The Drama department go on a wide range of theatre trips to
support the understanding of the art of performance. This
chilling production was a thrilling roller coaster of emotions,
where many students were seen covering their eyes, jumping
at cleverly crafted sound effects and screaming whenever the
Woman In Black appeared in the auditorium.
Brilliant performance and excellent behaviour from all students
involved - you did King’s proud!

On Monday 28th November, Ellie-Clare Chronaki
from Year 8 and Joshua Bowden, in Year 9, took on
Sixth Formers in the English Speaking Union Mace
debating competition. Held at St. Francis Xavier's
College, Liverpool, students valiantly took on their
elder opponents in a difficult debate where they had
to propose that physician assisted suicide should be
allowed (where doctors are allowed to prescribe the
medication for patients to end their own life).
Ellie-Clare signposted her speech brilliantly and
Joshua was praised for being able to speak without
needing notes (he was even able to independently
quote the changes in the Hippocratic oath off the
top of his head!). This young competitive pair
represented King's brilliantly and will certainly be a
force to contend with in future competitions.
Credimus!
On a gloomy, wet Monday 7 & 8 Bosworth decided to liven things up, or you could
indeed say slow things down, by having some fun during wet lunch. An impromptu
'mannequin challenge' took place, a phase which has swept the internet with everyone
from police forces, students and celebrities taking part! A viral video craze, it involves
people imitating mannequins and freezing for the camera while music plays in the
background.
Naturally, Miss France's form had to join in, it would have been rude not to…
The children decided they wanted to create their own version and made a video of the
class acting like mannequins in our form room. The students later added music to the
video to add to the effect. It certainly put a smile on everyone's face and cheered up a
mundane Monday.

Over the October half term, 17 of our current Year 11
pupils came in to participate in the English GCSE
workshop morning. The morning involved practice
exam questions, interactive quizzes and independent
revision. Great Expectations was the main focus
within this session. However, there will be future
revision sessions for other subjects leading up to the
important exams to give everyone in Year 11 the best
chance possible. The revision sessions are put on to
help students who may just need to recap a particular
area within the subject or if they feel that they to make
any improvements.
We interviewed Mrs Sharp who led the revision
morning and she said "It is effective when pupils turn
up to the revision sessions that we put on. There will
also be future revision sessions in February and
numerous ones in Easter leading up to the important
exams". She believes that the revision sessions are
important for the Year 11s as "it is a good opportunity
for the Year 11s to ask questions and for them to
learn key revision skills.
Top Revision Tips
from King's
teachers:

This September there was a new addition to lunch
which is the zone. It is there to be used as a quiet
place to do homework, read ,colour, revise or just
relax! We went to interview a couple of teachers that
take part in the zone. Overall the teachers that we
interviewed had a good opinion on the zone. First we
asked them what are the most common activities
that people do?
Miss Cawley told us "pupils do homework, silent
reading and colouring since its found most relaxing".
Then we asked them have there been any visits to
the zone?
Miss Cawley also told us " the school nurse visits on
a Tuesday, the police have visited, footsteps and
Kooth". We also asked them what's the maximum
amount of students that have come before?
Miss Goode told us " around 10-40 students " we also
interviewed Amelia a Year 7 pupil who told us that
she loves going to the zone to read her books. We
hope to see you at the zone!

This week we wanted to investigate the LGBT
community, with a focus on the Orlando shooting.
Although the Orlando shooting happened on the
12th of June 2016, it still has a huge impact on the
LGBT community.
Sia the famous singer/song writer recently released
a song supporting her views on the shooting and
standing up for the terrorising attack.
We interviewed three teachers and showed them
the video that Sia had made and asked them about
the message of the song and the shooting. Mr
Heavey stated that the song supports "working
together and not giving up, showing the anti LGBT
people that we are going to rise up and we are
going to unite together."
We also asked Mr Garrity about his personal
opinion on the LGBT community and he expressed
"I have a very positive view on the LGBT community
and support it 110%. I actually have family
members that are gay and happily married; a
person should feel free to be whoever they like to
be."
A member of Mr Garrity's rugby team actually had
rainbow laces on his boots to show his support for
the community.
Finally we spoke to Mr Graham about the LGBT
rules in school for transgender students, he stated
"I think some of the rules could be revisited in the
future. If a student feels comfortable and happy
with gender they have chosen to be, there shouldn't
be a problem. For example the problems could be:
using your chosen gender toilet, wearing the sex of
your choice uniform and many more.

One controversial story that has been in the news this week is how NHS ambulances are not meeting their targets and
leaving seriously ill people longer than people suffering from minor injuries. People with life threatening conditions
such as strokes or cardiac arrest are meant to be reached in 8 minutes, but in one case it took an ambulance a total of
106 minutes to get to their destination. Altogether only one of the UK’s 13 ambulance services is currently meeting it’s
target. This is a total of 503,499 hours of delays in 2015-16, 266 ambulance crews not working for a whole year
because of these delays and a 52% rise in delay in two years. Therefore risking the lives of the needed around the
country.
We asked some teachers about what they thought of this situation:
Miss Moss: “More money needs to be inserted by the NHS as currently staff are working long hours with not enough
funding. This has a dangerous effect on how well the NHS works.”
Mr Humphries: “I think it is ridiculous how long people have to wait for professional health care provided by
ambulances.”
Overall it can be seen that there is a large number of people who need urgent help but are not receiving it in time
because of the high demands placed on ambulances across the UK.

Windsor “Wins” the Anti-Bullying video
campaign!
This year at King’s we held Anti-Bullying week 21 st - 25 th
November. The national theme was Power For Good. Each
House were given a challenge to create a Anti-Bullying video
towards this year’s theme.
I’m very proud to announce that Windsor won the competition,
which was judged by Mr Ierston our Principal. The competition
was fierce, and all houses worked well. You can find the link to
watch the video. A special thank you to our House captains who
helped organise the video and worked independently. The best
moment was when all of Windsor spelt out POWER on the yard,
it was very “Powerful!”.

Christmas Shoebox Appeal
Hanover Waterloo, along with the rest of the house, were very keen to put together boxes of presents for
those less fortunate this year. As a form they collected several shoe boxes filled with treats, practical items
and toys to be sent around the world for other children this year. Well done Waterloo! There will be lots of
children very grateful for your efforts.
Crisis Appeal
Hanover House have also been raising money over the last
few weeks for Crisis. At Christmas, many people don’t have
a home to go to, warm food to eat or a place to rest. Crisis, a
charity that helps the homeless all over the country, give
people a bed, three meals, a doctors' visit, warmth and, most
importantly, a place where they can spend Christmas Day
with friendly and welcoming people.
Miss Griffiths, Year 10 tutor, and Niamh Robinson, Year 10
house captain, led the House's efforts. We aim to raise
enough to support one person for every form in Hanover over
Christmas.
Star Pupils of Hanover!
Matthew Nash, Sacha Hughes and Freddie
Didd have done amazingly well over the past
few weeks collecting a huge number of '1's
between them.
Hanover Attendance so far this year is 97.3%
but the Year 8 students of Hanover Waterloo all
had 100% attendance last week!
Congratulations!

Miruna Ghica from Normandy
Harlech performed as part of a
dance competition in London last
month. The piece was about
recent police brutality and racism
across the world. Miruna’s team
put in an amazing performance
and were placed 3 rd and will go to
Los Angeles in August 2017 to
represent the UK.
Miruna has been awarded 200
monarchs for her sporting
endeavour.
House Competition Update
Normandy have had a fantastic start to the year, sitting in either first or second place in every aspect of the house
competition. Well done Normandy for leading the way at King’s - we look forward to building on this success in 2017!
ATL 1s
With a fantastic 2981 1s awarded in lessons since September, Normandy are in second place, just 200 monarchs
behind York.
ATL 3s
Well done to all Normandy students who have demonstrated fantastic behaviour since September. Normandy have the
lowest number of 3s out of all the houses, showing how our students follow the ASPIRE code both in and outside of
lessons.
Attendance
Normandy continue to lead the attendance competition with an attendance percentage of 98.2! As attendance has such
a positive impact on achievement at King’s, we are thrilled to be in first place.
Monarchs
Normandy are currently in second position with 11,240 monarchs, which is an amazing achievement by all of our
students. We are just over 2000 monarchs behind Windsor, but things can change fast and Mrs Lawrence is confident
by LC3 Normandy will be back in first place!
Top 1s in LC2
Harlech – Amelia McGerty (32)
Hastings – Sam Litherland (26)

Lawrenson for their excellent contributions.

Mrs Culshaw
I had many ambitions in life. One of my ambitions was to work
with children and show them that through hard work anything in
life was possible. My favourite subject at school was maths, so I
decided that the perfect career for me would be to teach. This
career would allow me to work with children and show them that
through hard work and endurance, that to master a skill like
mathematics, anything in life is possible.
special. At Kings Leadership academy we help our students to
identify their strengths and encourage them to develop these
traits according to the students chosen pathway. I strongly
believe that a child can do whatever they like in life with the right
support and guidance. To be a part of this strong cohort of
teachers at Kings Leadership Academy means to me that I am
part of a team that are producing model citizens of tomorrow.
I am extremely organised and hard working. I thrive on seeing
students around me in control of their own learning. I like to see
students achieve their full potential at all times! To see students
achieving reminds me daily of why I love teaching.
My greatest achievement was working out in the Pocono
mountains, just outside New York for 3 months with children
aged 11-18 years old who had ADD, ADHD and Tourette's
syndrome. This work was extremely challenging and was a life
changing experience for me. It reminded me just how important
the children of our future are and that it is our responsibility to
give them the best life possible for them, ensuring that they are
loved and nurtured and supported along the way at all times
I currently run two enrichment activities. I instruct girl’s
foundation football which I am passionate about. I am so proud
of these girls because they are highly motivated and they are
keen to develop their own skills. There is so much talent in this
squad.
I also run "Maths Ambassadors", a club where we look at using
maths skills out of context of the normal taught lesson of
maths. Here students are currently designing a board game
which we will play and analyse the strategies of the game.
I really love the family dining experience because it gives you
time to chat with the students and see what type of day they are
having. In this setting the students are relaxed and open with
you; they are more willing to chat freely and tell you about their
day.
I was drawn to King’s Leadership Academy because of it’s
passion to develop outstanding citizens of tomorrow. I believe
that it is the character traits of a child which makes them
At King’s I have had the opportunity to put my organisation skills
into good practice. The abundance of CPD training has made me
re-think different ways of teaching and it has given me the
opportunity to try different skills within my lessons.

At King’s, we offer students the opportunity to apply their maths skills to the real world.
In this forum we use our maths skills to solve problems and to analyse different situations. It is not
“another” maths lesson, more a challenge to see if the student can apply their knowledge to produce a
solution to the problem through reasoning.
You will look at board games and analyse which games you like and dislike. You will then back up
your decision with solid reasoning.
Students split themselves up into groups and make their own board game. Collaboratively you will
work together creatively deciding: what the game is about, what the rules are, what age group the
game is aimed at and more importantly what the name of the game is. The games will then be played,
analysed and valuable feedback will then be given.
This session is fun and creative. Students can make a 2D or 3D game; the choice is yours!
At King’s, we offer girls the opportunity to play football in an environment where they can learn skills
with other females from years 7 through to year 11 inclusively. This environment in itself allows girls
to learn how to play a sport and excel without worrying about male students overpowering them in the
game.
Over the Learning cycle students will learn many new skills: For example – how to dribble the ball,
pass the ball, receive the ball, head the ball and tackling; just to name a few.
Teamwork is extremely important so there are opportunities for game play every week for students to
put into practise what they have learnt during the session. There is also the opportunity for students
to lead a session and captain their team too.

At King’s, we place huge significance on the importance of foreign languages and how learning
another language helps to broaden every student’s horizons and contextualise the world in which they live.
In today's business dominated society, speaking a second language gives you a competitive edge when searching for jobs
within your chosen flight path. Furthermore, it is well documented that speaking a second language places you at an
advantage in terms of your earning capability and the excellent benefits you can receive.
Within the world of work, the ability to speak a second language means that you are more likely to be successful in finding a
job within your chosen career due to the key problem solving and critical thinking skills associated with the learning of a
second language.
Learning German encompasses all of this. As a sadly, slowly, dying language being taught in British schools, at King’s we
are enthusiastic and excited to deliver something that unfortunately most secondary schools do not offer. The study of
German enables pupils to discuss cultures and traditions within Europe and German speaking countries. Naturally you
develop a new language through innovative and fun learning and it also helps improve English skills.
The course not only allows students to study German about also helps to broaden knowledge of other cultures through
discussions and research-based tasks. Over the 7 weeks the following topics will be covered:
Week 1: ‘Where is German spoken?’ Students will develop an understanding of Germany and the German-speaking
world.
Week 2: ‘Adding ‘st’ and ‘nd’ to numbers creates dates’ Students will discuss dates/ ages and birthdays.
Week 3: ‘Learning a language is like a skeleton’ Bringing language together to create a
dialogue.
Week 4: ‘What are the daily routines of German speaking people?’ Research of school life in Germany and the
daily routines of German speaking people.
Week 5: ‘Why is it important to be educated about German history?’ The importance of
educating young people about historic events in Germany.
Week 6: ‘Are German food traditions the same as English?’ Analysis of a German menu and research of typical,
traditional, German foods.
Week 7: Assessment exercise: Presentations and ordering food. Independent research of Germany and a
cultural aspect alongside a German Café where pupils have the opportunity to order and sample German foods.
Millie Loosley (Year 8) passed her grade 1 harp exam with merit after less
than a year of learning (this means she has been recognised for the high
level of perfection she has attained). The examiner was very excited to see a
harpist having never examined one in Warrington before. Millie had to
practise every day in the lead up to the exam and demonstrated aspiration to
achieve. She will be performing in King's Christmas Service on Thursday
15th December.
Congratulations Millie!
