The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Celebrations 2012 - Fronter

Cricket Green School 

We have reached the end of the year and I can reflect on a fantastic year. Our pupils have had some brilliant achievements and I 

am immensely proud of them all. Achievements have been in pupils learning to speak, becoming more independent, singing solos in 

form of the whole school, achieving The Jack Petchey Award, attending a residential, tolerating changes more easily, learning to 

ride a horse, learning to read, achieving a Btec in Art….the list could go on. 

Thank you also for the support of all families and friends. It means so much to us. 

The staff will now take a well earned rest and be back to give of their best in the new academic year. I wish you all a wonderful 

summer break and look forward to seeing all pupils back at Cricket Green on September 6 th . Make a note ..join us for the flame !! 

With best wishes, 

Mrs D

Alison Roach - Assistant Head 

It has been a very successful year KST 3 for pupils and staff. 

After this years travel training 10 more pupils now are 

independent. All pupils really enjoyed the experience and made 

them feel really grown up. There were 3 more Jack Petchey 

winners. 3H had a wonderful trip to Stonehenge thanks to 

Mark Turner winning last year. 

We look forward to another successful year next year. 

Annie Brine - Assistant Head 

Our year 11 students sat the new Functional skills tests in English, 

Maths and ICT for the first time. We are using these to replace 

the straight forward tests we used before, as they are much more 

practically based and set the learning within ‘real life’ contexts 

which makes it easier for the learners to apply in their own situations. 

For the first time some of the students in year 10 had the opportunity 

to start studying the BTEC Level 1 certificate in Art and Design 

under the tutelage of Mr Lansley. They have thoroughly 

enjoyed the course and have produced some excellent pieces of art 

work. 

Overall it has been another positive and successful year for us. Our 

students have demonstrated their skills in a whole range of situations 

and we look forward to developing these further next year.

Playground Appeal 

This is an appeal to raise 

£46,000 to provide a playground; 

which offers physical, 

educational, and sensory 

challenges and enjoyment for 

children with diverse learning 

needs including moderate and 

severe learning 

difficulties and autism. 

The 158 pupils at the school will 

benefit from the improved facilities 

during school PE provision and 

playtimes. In addition, 16-20 

children attend an After-School Club 

and two Saturday Clubs and the 

facilities will be used by Crossroads 

Club, Special Needs Club three 

nights a week, and by Merton Mencap 

each weekend for the Saturday Club 

and in the holidays. 

Each area lends itself to being 

funded by one donor, which will bear 

the name of the donor. 

We hope to secure donations and 

pledges by the end of 2012, so that 

building work on the playground can 

commence in Spring 2013.

Butlins 2012 

6th Form 

This year saw a first for our 6th form – we took a group to Butlins in Bognor for 4 nights. We stayed in 

self-catering chalets so the students were responsible for keeping their rooms tidy, organising their own 

breakfast and lunch and making decisions about what to wear and which activities they wanted to do. 

This was a brilliant trip and everyone had a great time with lots of fun. In addition to that, it was an 

excellent opportunity for the students to develop their independence and social skills and they showed 

great maturity and learned to consider the needs and preferences of others. Overall it was a real chance 

to build team spirit and the students helped each other (and the staff) and relationships were taken to a 

deeper level.

The pupils shared dormatories and gained a sense of independence through activities and team work. 

Highlights of the trips included the nightwalk, ropes course, the rain, gettting dirty and muddy, using an 

iron age fort and telling stories around the campfire and BBQ. Students felt the trip was challenging 

yet amazing!

As part of the Science curriculum ‘Animal’, 3H and 3S had the opportunity to visit Battersea Zoo on 

Thursday 28th June. Their visit enabled the students to view different animals and categorise them 

according to their animal groups. The student enjoyed looking at the different animals and playing in the 

playground.

The ‘Dickens of Life’ project gave the pupils in the Year 10 Entry Level group the opportunity 

to perform at Wimbledon Theatre. The pupils involved spent several weeks learning about their 

characters, practicing their scripts and rehearsing. Throughout the whole process all the pupils 

showed a tremendous amount of professionalism and dedication and this was most certainly 

reflected in the quality of their final performance. It was a great experience for all involved 

and the group developed a considerable bond from working so closely together. It is difficult 

to single out any one performer who excelled as all those involved did so very well! Although, 

since the performance several of the pupils have been offered the opportunity to join a local 

youth theatre so they get the chance to show off their skills on the stage on a more regular 

basis! All in all a fantastic experience for the pupils – Very well done to all the cast!!! 

Mr Brown 3S / Drama Teacher

It has been a very exciting year for 

Shed 13. In May we celebrated our 

5th year of Room 13 international. 

We held an artyparty for all of 

Cricket Green to enjoy Shed 13, Mr 

O’Brien and the 6th formers catered 

for the event and made some 

delicious food for everyone. We also 

had a disco outside where students 

enjoyed dancing away. 

In June we had a very exciting visit 

to Blach Roch in central London. We 

had an opportunity to meet other 

Room 13 studios from the south. We 

had our own stall selling handmade 

arts and crafts that the students had 

made. 

There was a silent auction where 

Anisa donated her aboriginal emu 

painting which sold for £200. 

We are so proud that we made £290 

from the auction 

The money raised will go towards the 

materials we use in Shed 13. 

Cricket Green School held an arts 

exhibiton at Wimbledon Village Hall 

last week. 

We had many visitors and raised over 

£1000 the arts at Cricket Green 

School. 

Our Shed 13 artists also displayed 

their work in the exhibition. 

Check out the next newsletter for 

more information.
