Greetings from the School
Dear Parents, Pupils and Staff of Stanwell School,
We should all be very proud of the individual and collective
achievements contained in our Christmas Newsletter.
So many of our pupils are taking the opportunity
to develop their skills and talents and this publication
seeks to celebrate the successes our pupils and staff
have attained through dedication and hard work.
There are some outstanding examples of individual brilliance
and it is gratifying to see that several Stanwell pupils are Welsh and British
international athletes. The students interviewed for their sporting, musical and
dramatic abilities are excellent role models to their peers. As a school, we encourage
all of our pupils to excel and continually seek to offer enhanced provision,
guidance and support in order for each student to achieve his or her potential.
It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointments of Miss S Owen, Mr M
Lewis and Mr J Mansfield as Assistant Head Teachers.
Merry Christmas and many thanks to all who have played a role in Stanwell’s continuing
success this term.
Mr A. Lewis
Acting Head Teacher.

The above dates are in line with other Vale of Glamorgan schools. We do not expect the
dates to change but reserve the right to do so.

Interviews
English A Level students have enjoyed
interviewing sporting and musical stars of the school.
First into the room was Tom Downey Year
11, trombonist. A reserved character in spite
a bowler than a batter”, and that her cricketing
of his imposing figure, he swiftly divulged his
instrument of choice – the trombone – and
his ensuing success: in March he played in
Carnegie Hall, New York as a part of the
Cardiff County and Vale of Glamorgan Wind
Band. He hopes to progress into orchestras
one day, perhaps even giving lessons. Not
bad for someone who took up the trombone
on the basis that “there were no trumpets
left!”
Following his punctual departure, Emma Davies
(Year 8 cricketer) joined us. Emma,
having started her career in cricket during
her primary school years, was picked for
Wales by the time she was eleven – an honour
she has retained to this day as a member
of the All Girls Welsh Under 15s. She
went on to inform me that she “was more of
has allowed her to compete against other
counties, Gloucestershire, for example.
On followed Natalie Gill (Year 10 gymnast).
Natalie was very modest – endearingly so, in
fact; she reeled off her achievements – most
notably a gold in the British Gymnastics Finals
– and detailed her intensive training routine
(four sessions a week, poor girl!) Nonetheless,
she told me, she feels as though it is worth the
effort. And I do not doubt her; only last weekend
had she won a bronze for her performance
in a regional competition.
The concluding interviewee was Matteo
Holmes (Year 10 athlete). He was an interesting
figure to observe; his character oozed a
quiet, assured confidence. And one could be
left with little doubt as to why this was following
the blitz of medals he has won. A weekly
diet of two hours javelin and likewise for hammer
has resulted in: Welsh Championships –
gold in hammer, bronze in discus and javelin;
Welsh Inter-regional Championships – gold in
hammer and javelin; South Wales Interregional
Championships – gold in hammer and
javelin. What I found most intriguing about all
of the above was their modesty; they had no
real inclination to compile grandiose lists of
awards and appearances. Rather, I had to
prise the details of their achievements out of
them! Matteo’s closing line epitomised this for
me: “Anything else?” I enquired after the impressive
résumé (jokingly, of course). “A couple,
yeah” was his response. Marvellous.
Written by TGH. With thanks to Caitlin
Couper.
“a gold in the British Gymnastics Finals”

Interviews
Ieuan Lloyd, Year 13, has represented
both Wales and Great Britain at international
swimming competitions such as
the Commonwealth Games and the
European Junior Championships. He has
been selected for the Great Britain World
Class Development Squad which allocates
funding to the most promising athletes.
His next challenge is February’s
GB v Germany Senior duel meet.
Ieuan, how old were you when you
took up swimming?
My dad first took me swimming when I
was 3 and when I was five, my older sister
Megan got picked for the Cardiff
swimming trials. I went along too and impressed
the coaches. Since then, I’ve
worked my way up all the squads to the
top squad.
What are the most important elements
in your training regime?
I have 10 training sessions a week of
around 90 minutes each. These take
place before and after school and also at
the weekend so it’s a massive commitment.
I don’t really have a specific dietary
regime, I just have to be sensible
and healthy most of the time with what I
eat.
What was it like when you went to the
Commonwealth Games?
There was quite a relaxed atmosphere in
Team GB. The facilities were excellent in
the International zone; there was a 50m
pool, a gym and loads to do when you
weren’t competing or training. We couldn’t
go outside very much as the heat was too
draining. I already knew David Davies as
he is my teammate at Cardiff and he introduced
me to the rest of the team like Rebecca
Adlington the Double gold Olympic
medal winner and James Goddard.
What are your plans for the future?
I’m taking a gap year next year to concentrate
on swimming as that time will be crucial
in the run-up to the 2012 Olympic
Games and I really want to be picked. I am
the British junior record holder for the
200m medley and I also compete in the
freestyle 200m and 400m, so I am definitely
aiming to be in the GB Squad for
London 2012.
Lloyd Chalke, Year 12, is a Welsh Youth
International rugby centre. He also plays
for Cardiff Blues Under 18 team and is
contracted to the Cardiff Blues academy.
“aiming to be in the GB Squad for London 2012”

Interviews
Lloyd, at what age did you become
interested in rugby?
When I was in junior school, I only
played football but when I came up to
Year 7 in Stanwell, some friends told me
that I should try out for Penarth RFC.
Within a month, I had not only been
picked for the Penarth team but also for
the Cardiff and Vale district team!
How did you decide which position to
play?
I had watched rugby with friends before
starting to play and I always knew I
wanted to be a back. Because of my size
and weight, I thought I’d be better suited
to centre and that’s the position I’ve always
stayed in.
As a member of the Cardiff Blues and
Wales youth teams, do you ever get to
meet any of the senior players?
Yes, we see them all regularly at the
training centres. At under 16 level, I
played alongside George North. Martyn
Williams and Gethin Jenkins are the
players that speak to the youth team the
most.
Who are your sporting role models
and what are your dreams for the future?
Sonny Bill Williams the New Zealand
centre is the player that I admire the
most. My ambition is to be a senior International
for Wales and to get British Lions
caps.
Owen Haswell represents the Welsh
Cross Country team at Under-20 level.
He has competed in the Home Countries
Cross Country International against runners
from England, Scotland and all-
Ireland.
Owen, when did you realise that you
were such a good runner?
That happened during the Sports Day
when I was in Year 7 as I won the 1500m
race by a big margin. I then joined Barry
and Vale Harriers and went to train at Jenner
Park. I started training 2 or 3 times a
week and now I’m up to training every day,
sometimes twice a day.
Do you still take part in athletics events
or do you just focus on cross country
now?
All winter I do cross-country but I still run
track events in the summer. I run the
800m, 1500m and the 3 and 5 kilometer
races. My favourite event is cross-country
though.
What are your objectives for the future?
I would love to get picked for an Olympic
track event and I want to compete in the
next Commonwealth Games. With Cross
country, I want to make it to the European
and World Cross Country Championships
representing Great Britain at the highest
level.
“make it to the European and World Cross Country Championships”

Untold Stories Exhibition
Mr G . Penny
Central Gallery in King Square until the
end of January. Opening times are Tuesday
till Saturday, 10am-4pm.
Some pupils chose a family member as
their inspiration for this competition; for
example Amelia Rowlands produced a
creative piece dedicated to her great,
great uncle Archibald Rowlands who was
a key figure in the War Office during the
Second World War.
Stanwell School was pleased to be offered
the opportunity to contribute to the
“Untold Stories” exhibition, held at the Art
Central Gallery in King’s Square, Barry.
The purpose of the exhibition is to display
pieces of work, including art work,
poetry and textiles to commemorate individuals
who have suffered in past events
and also pay homage to brave heroes
past and present.
Pupils were encouraged to focus on the
Holocaust or one of the World Wars.
However, the contribution could also be
about a famous individual from history or
someone (past or present) who has
acted in a brave or humane manner and
made a difference to people’s lives.
As anticipated, an impressive number of
pupils were eager to contribute to this
initiative. The exhibiters visited the Art
and Textiles departments and were
highly impressed with the standard of
work on display.
The exhibition is an initiative to help
commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day
2011. The exhibition is working in alliance
with the Welsh Assembly Government
and the Holocaust Memorial Day
Trust. The exhibition is situated in the Art
“pay homage to brave heroes past and present”

The committee meet once a half term to
discuss environmental issues that are
impacting on our school. The aim of the
committee is to ensure that the whole
school is working towards our environmental
goal:
‘Stanwell School wishes to excel at promoting environmental
awareness throughout the school and
the wider community by encouraging respect for
the environment throughout all aspects of the
school life’.
Current topics include: litter, conservation,
energy, reduction of plastic cups
and promotion of recycling practices
within the school.
Eco Stanwell has a number of action
plans to work towards this year:
Creating a Conservation Area
Reducing the use of plastic cups
Reducing Energy consumption in the
school
Promoting global issues e.g. mobile
phones
In November Stanwell School achieved
its Second Green Flag Award as
Awarded by Keep Wales Tidy. Thank you
to all pupils, parents and staff for making
Stanwell a ‘Green Environment’ to be.
During Eco Stanwell week 2010 the whole
school considered the sustainability of mobile
phones. Students considered in depth
the impact that consumer choices have on
resources and conflicts around the world.
Did you know:
There are 45,000 mobile phones in use
in the UK at this moment.
77% of the population use a mobile
phone.
90% of 15 - 25 year olds own a mobile
phone.
In 2000, the estimated demand for mobile
phones and other electronic goods was at
a record high. The price of coltan on the
world market in December 2000 reached
$400 per lb compared with less than $50
per lb in January 2000. As a result of the
coltan boom, workers in the Congo who
had earned $1 a day were able to earn
$80 a day as miners. All across eastern
Congo large numbers of people from all
sections of the community, including children,
rushed to join the 'Coltan Boom'.
Help!
Please could you help us with our Christmas
Card campaign. As part of a county
competition students are asked to collect
Christmas cards for recycling. The pupil
with the most cards wins a prize. Last
Year Jack Powell Year 9 won £100 by collecting
1007 cards. See Ms H Morgan for
more details.
“Working towards a sustainable future”

Grease the musical
We talked to the cast of the senior
musical ‘Grease’, in order to see how
the production is coming along with
the curtain call fast approaching. The
general excitement about the show
seems to be building by the day and
the cast and teachers are working
countless hours in order to create a
magnificent spectacle.
Danny Zuko, leader of the T-birds,
played by Taite Drew (Year 11) is
paired with Sandy, played by Emma
Campbell (Year 13). After asking
both of them how they were feeling
about playing the lead roles they said,
“we’re very excited to be playing such
well known characters, with Grease’s
popularity being on such a global
scale, this gave it an added pressure
as everyone knows the songs.” They
continued by saying that they both felt
very pleasantly surprised for getting
the chance to be the leads and are
feeling apprehensive about their performances.
Kenickie & Rizzo are the other “lovedup”
stage couple played by Lowri
Protheroe and Thom Stephanakis
(both Year 13). We asked why they
chose to be part of the production this
year. They both explained that they
were in last year’s production and it
was such an incredible and massively
popular show that it was a “no-brainer”
in deciding whether or not to participate
this year! We also asked how the cast
were feeling about the show at this moment
in time. Thom noted that “the
general feeling in the group is one of
mass excitement, I feel particularly
proud of the show so far and now seeing
the staging and costumes coming
together really has put a lot of pride
into people’s performances. There’s a
sense that you’d be letting the team
down if you gave a lack-lustre performance.”
Watching the show coming together
with cast, crew and music is really
proving how strong Stanwell school
productions can be, with the dedicated
influence of the teachers and pupils
alike, this year’s musical extravaganza
seems set to be just as successful as
its predecessors.
“feel particularly proud of the show “

Duke of Edinburgh
Award Scheme
Miss H Jenkins
This year has seen record numbers of
participants taking up the Bronze Duke
of Edinburgh Award Scheme. The aim is
to develop the opportunity for expeditions
to be completed through the medium
of canoeing or kayaking. The walking
expedition section will still be an integral
part of the scheme and will be undertaken
during the summer term.
Many of the successful Bronze Award
participants have continued onto the Silver
Award. This means the expedition
section is for 3 days and 2 nights.
This is also the second year that Stanwell
have had so many pupils hoping to
participate in the Gold Award scheme
that we have an open Gold group.
These participants include Corey Alcock,
Niall Armstrong, Emily Chick,
Ben Cockerill Evans, Alys Davies, Zoe
Farbrace, Sam Harries, Grace Jenkins,
Tom Knight, Stuart Macleod,
Tom Pain, Cem Papaker, Iestyn Penry
Williams, Andrew Sims, Caroline
Smee, Andrew Somers, Rose Tuthill,
Rhys Ward, Eleanor Way, Faye Wigmore
and Josh Woodcock. These pupils
need to complete the 4 sections of
the Award, the expedition section being
4 days and 3 nights. The Gold participants
also have to do a further section to
the Award—a residential section.
The expedition dates have been provisionally
set for next year. They are as
follows:
Bronze Award
Sat 5th March—Cowbridge
Overnight practice
Sat 2nd July—Sun 3rd July
Assessed expedition to the Gower.
Silver Award
Fri 25th Match - Sat 26th March
Practice to Hay on Wye
Fri 1st April—Sun 3rd April
Assessed expedition to Brecon.
The open Gold participants should be
completing their expedition in the following
September, as well as those Bronze participants
undertaking a canoeing expedition.
Well done to the following open Gold participants
who have recently completed
their expedition in Mid Wales 29th September
to 3rd October. They are Georgia
Dodd, Laura Morgan, Laura Flynn, Dan
Phillips, Caitlin Couper, Alice Davies,
David King, Thom Stephanakis, Jack
Kinnersley, Jamie Lam, Nick Williams,
Hal Szary and Amila Alim. I was delighted
to receive a letter from the Expedition
Assessor on the standard of the participants
who said they stood out as being
particularly competent and able to fulfil the
challenge and that they have achieved the
expedition section of the Award in the
most difficult of conditions.
Many thanks to all the staff, parents and
those at the Vale for their continued support
without which the Award could not be
so successful.

working with Year 6 pupils who
worked with tremendous enthusiasm to
produce excellent mono prints based on
Japanese design.
“developed their knowledge of the formal elements of art and design”

Business
Studies
Mrs J Macnamara
Young Enterprise has got off to a flying
start since September! Currently we
have two groups running in Year 10
and Year 12. The businesses are run
and managed by the students throughout
the academic year. Year 10 Managing
Director is Tom Davies, Year 12
Managing Director is Steph Leech.
Both MDs will have important roles
throughout the year, motivating their
teams and coordinating the businesses’
activities.
(Year 10 Team)
Open Day was a great success for the
teams with a range of different enterprising
gaming activities taking place.
These included ‘Beat the Welsh Stig’,
‘Name the Teddy’, Guitar Hero, and
‘Guess the number of sweets’. Students
had also taken the time to create
handcrafted items to sell at the event
including key rings, bookmarks and
cards. The teams made over £200 between
them at the event. This money
has now gone towards paying their registration
fees and for developing their
new business entrepreneurial ideas.
(Year 12 Team)
The Year 9s have started the GCSE
course well and have been studying a
range of topics including ‘Managing
their Money’ and ‘Financial Responsibility
and Decision making’. All students
have made an excellent start to the
topic ‘Big Innovation Ideas’ where they
have been designing and marketing a
new product for the UK market. Students
have shown incredible teamwork
and communication skills with the presentation
of their ideas.
Homework Club has been well attended
by students wishing to improve on the
quality of the work and gain additional
support from their subject teachers.
Young Enterprise has got off to a flying start!

Drama
The Drama department is very busy at the
moment rehearsing for our senior production
‘Grease’. Script and choreography rehearsals
are well under way and students have shown
much positivity and enthusiasm for the project.
We have high hopes the production will
be a sell out just like previous Stanwell productions.
The AS and A level students recently visited
The Theatre Royal in Bath to see a production
of Noel Coward’s ‘Blythe Spirit’. The students
were excited to meet stars of stage and
screen such as Alison Steadman who plays
Pamela in the hit TV programme ‘Gavin and
Stacey’. Hermione Norris who has appeared
in ‘Cold Feet’, ‘Spooks’ and recently the
Miss R Davies
spooky ITV Drama’ A bouquet of barbed wire’.
Another star from Spooks, Robert Bathurst made
up the cast with West End Star Ruthie Henshall
also appearing.
Class work is going very well with year 7 enjoying
studying Welsh Folk stories, year 8 studying
‘Bugsy Malone’ and year 9 looking at Willy
Russell’s famous musical play ‘Blood Brothers’.
The recent year 9 assessment was a credit to the
talented performers we have here at Stanwell.
Year 10 have been shocked by the real life case
of Derek Bentley and are currently in the process
of their very first devised piece. This means that
students create completely original drama from
scratch based on a stimulus. With such a serious
stimulus I have been impressed by students’ sensitivity
and maturity.
Year 11 are just about to complete 30 % of their
controlled assessment and we wish them very
well with this. Year 12 and 13 are also about to
embark on practical coursework. Good luck to
them too.
Extra curricular activities have been impressive
this term with
Lowri Protheroe,
Leilah Harriet
and Seren Vickers
being part of The
Royal Welsh College
of Music and
Drama’s Young
Actors Studio.
Many students are
also considering
auditioning to be
part of the prestigious
National
Youth Theatre of Wales. We wish them all the
best.
The following sixth form pupils are planning to
audition for Drama School or do a degree in the
subject: Lowri Protheroe, Alex Mancuso,
Emma Campbell and Alex Varney.
And remember ’Grease is still the word!’.
“credit to the talented performers”

Design
Technology
Mr N Gifford
It has been a very busy start to an exciting year
GCSE
Year 9 and 10 have made a fantastic start to the
GCSE course and are building upon their skills.
Pupils are looking forward to their next project
where they will be making products in a range of
media.
Year 11
Year 11 are settling into their CAT projects. Pupils
are producing some good quality work and
are looking forward to producing the artefacts
after Christmas.
KS3
Year 7 pupils have been working on a wide range
of projects from hats to lights. Pupils are enjoying
the project and are producing some excellent
work.
The bag project in year 8 continues to be a success.
Pupils have produced a range of bags including
Boot bags, hand bags, tote bags and
drawstring bags. The food project and electronic
game continue to generate a great deal of interest
and enthusiasm.
Open Evening
Year 9 pupils Silvija Suliokaite, Jessie Preece,
Leah Wenger, Megan Morgan, Grace Lloyd-
Williams and Ellie Trott produced excellent textile
pieces to exhibit in the ‘untold stories exhibition’.
The exhibits have been chosen by the Arts
Council. Well done Girls! Once again pupils
have helped with the demonstration of both materials
and equipment, particular thanks to Amila
Alim.
After School Textiles Club
Pupils are encouraged to attend the workshops
after school to complete projects and to increase
their machine skills or for any extra support.
Food Technology
Year 11 have made a great start this term in their
assessment work. They have shown commitment
and creativity in their designs of chilled deserts and
pasta.
Years 9 and 10 have been busy making and
decorating a range of cake and pastry products
that have been truly scrumptious.
Year 8 have exceeded all expectations
in their practical
work, creating sophisticated
and exotic meals such as sushi,
calzone, paella and lasagne.
Year 7 have shown great potential and ambition in
their cake projects making some truly unique,
decorative cakes.
EESW
Again this year a team of enthusiastic Yr12 students
consisting of Helen Brabham, Katie Rowlands,Andrew
Simms, Alex Samual, Rosie
Tuthill and Danial Luxton, will participate in the
Engineering Education scheme in Wales. For a
3rd year we have been teamed with Aberthaw
power station and have been set a challenging
task. The team have already had an informative
site visit and gained further understanding of the
project. The team will be working to solve the problem
over the coming months.
Go4Set
Design Technology
All year groups have made a fantastic start to
the year. Years 11, 12 and 13 are currently finalizing
the designs ready for manufacture next
term.
Three members of the 6 th form; Amila Alim,
Beth Owens andJamie Lam have enjoyed success
earlier this term. Their projects from last
year were selected for the WJEC innovation
awards and were on display for two weeks at
venues across the country.
Seven pupils from Yr9 : Kathleen Adheren,
Megan Wokey, Jay Kupria, James Humpage,
Alasdair Cavelair, Jack Powell and Tommy Higgins,
have embarked on the Go4set engineering
scheme. Following the launch event we have been
linked with ARUP engineers in Cardiff and have
been set the task of designing a new sports venue
for the Penarth area. The team have discussed
ideas with the link engineer and are currently preparing
for a presentation in February.
“exhibits have been chosen by the Arts Council”

Economics and
Politics
Mr J Boggan
Economics has proved to be a popular
choice with students choosing their options
either in year nine or ten. Year ten
students have recently completed their
’Guide to the Local Car Market’ miniprojects.
They produce a ‘Which’ style report,
offering recommendations and ‘ones
to avoid’ in three price categories. This
covers the syllabus requirements of
budgeting, personal life-cycle issues and
competition between suppliers. Among
many good efforts Lauren Beeslee,
Emma Hughes and Emma Berry produced
first-class work.
Year 10
As part of their study of how firms compete
the year ten group have just played
the ‘Fresh Oven Pies’ business game.
Each team has to decide on its price, output
and advertising budget. Their orders
are influenced both by these decisions
and those of their rivals in a market that is
first growing then shrinking. The most
profitable team and hence the winners
were the team comprising Victoria Ling,
Harry Fudge and Lucy Mort who proved
adept at matching supply and demand at
a profit-maximising price.
At the time of writing this group is undertaking
a project on the ‘Best bank account
for fifteen year olds’ using weighted
criteria.
Year 11
Year eleven students have been learning
about the macro-economy—how we
measure economic performance and
what tools the Govt has at its disposal for
trying to achieve low inflation, economic
growth and minimum unemployment simultaneously.
This was followed by a discussion
of the causes, effects and possible
solutions for poverty in a country like
this.
Sixth Form
It is a pleasure to report that three students
in year thirteen are attempting to
gain entry to Oxbridge—two for P,P and E
at Oxford (David King and Jack Kinnersley)
and one for Economics at Cambridge—Martin
Boden.
This group has been studying the macro—
economy, the case for and against the
cuts in public expenditure and arguments
for and against our joining the euro—
topical indeed.
The year thirteen group have been studying
whether or not our political system
sustains an ‘elective dictatorship’ and
whether or not there is a crisis in participation
and should this crisis be addressed by
making voting compulsory. The formation
of the coalition has provoked many interesting
questions too—are ‘hung’ parliaments
likely to be a regular feature from
now on? What are the implications of the
UK adopting the AV system for General
Elections for a smaller Commons elected
via constituencies of more equal size?
We have been impressed with the quality
of presentations produced by the A2 group
on ‘Aspects of the US Presidency’ - these
presentations help satisfy some of the requirements
of the Welsh Baccalaureate
qualification. Particularly impressive have
been the efforts of Peter Woolley, Amy
Evans, Holly Flynn, Alex Wing and
Laura Thomas.
“quality of presentations produced by the A2 group “

English
Miss S Owen
Magazine writers’ club
All the English teachers are very proud
that some of the very best young writers
in Stanwell have formed a writing society
under the able leadership of Kirsty
Woodford, Year 13. Members meet
every Monday in the resource centre to
discuss current affairs and decide on
topics for their articles. Around 30 young
writers attend each week and are guided
in their efforts by the senior editorial
team consisting of Kirsty as Chief Editor;
Tom Harry Year 13, Political Correspondant;
Kim Lewis Year 12, Home Affairs;
Bill Jones Year 13, Science and Technology;
Frankie Law Year 11, Entertainment;
Laura Thomas Year 13, Legal Affairs;
Alice Fudge Year 12, Fashion and
Media. Lauren Beeslee, Tom Rose,
Ellen Rowlands, Millie Earp and Laura
Gilbert who are all Year 10 pupils, are
the senior feature writers. The society
always welcomes new members of all
ages and plans for a trip to London to
visit the Houses of Parliament are being
discussed.
Japanese penfriends
Year 7 have been writing penfriend letters
to Futsu Chu-Gakku (Futsu Junior High
School) in Kyushu, Southern Japan. Stanwell
students have been telling Japanese
pupils about life in Wales, our festivals and
culture and what it's like to be a pupil at
our school. They are eagerly anticipating
their replies from Japan in the new year.
The standard of pupils’ work on this topic
has been superb in terms of content and
presentation.
Mini sagas
Miss Light’s Year 8 class have been devising
pared down short stories for the national
mini sagas competition. This involves
creating an entire story in no more
than 50 words! Some of the entries so far
have been true feats of ingenuity.
Open Day
The school’s open day was a very busy
time for the English Department, with
many prospective parents of Year 7 and
Year 12 taking the opportunity to discuss
the curriculum with members of staff. Miss
James and Miss Phillips ran a creative
writing workshop and Mrs Sheldon held an
interactive literature quiz.
“Pupils’ work….superb in terms of content and presentation”

Geography
Fieldwork Fun!
Geography has been fieldwork friendly
this term with a visit to Iceland - the
country, not the supermarket! During
October half term a large group of GCSE
and A Level students spent 5 days
visiting a huge array of geographical
sites and scenery in this amazing
country. Geysers, waterfalls, black
volcanic beaches, the Mid-Atlantic ridge,
hot springs, geothermal power stations,
volcanoes and glaciers were just a few of
the amazing places of interest on our
fun filled itinerary. Pupils even had time
to experience Icelandic Horse Riding,
visit Reykjavik’s famous Ice Bar,
undertake a Zip Wire Challenge across
the River Varma and swim in the famous
geothermal Blue Lagoon!
In contrast, Year Eight visited Cadbury
World in Birmingham to complement
their unit of study entitled “The
Geography of Chocolate”. Pupils
experienced a talk on The Location of
Industry and the benefits of Fair Trade;
developing an empathy and
understanding of issues surrounding
farming in LEDCs. A tour of the factory
and some free samples were gladly
accepted and a visit to the Chocolate
museum and the interactive exhibition
were also thoroughly enjoyed.
Year 12 AS Level students were
fortunate enough to be invited to a
Tectonics Conference in London,
learning about the cause and impact of
volcanic and earthquake hazards around
the world. Guest speakers included Dr
Iain Stewart from the BBC TV series
Ms H Morgan & Mrs R Selman
“Power of the Planet”. Well informed
students are now ready to tackle their
first AS Level examination with added
interest and case study materials to
enhance their exam answers!
Open Day
Fieldwork fashion at its best!!!
A warm dip in the Blue Lagoon
An eventful evening was had by all in the
Geography department, with Chocolate
tasting, fair trade quizzes and interactive
map games entertaining both pupils and
parents alike. Pupils were astonished at
how much profit a typical chocolate bar
company makes and most were ready to
support, or at least sample, some Fair
Trade chocolate by the end of their visit.
“Autumn Term Has Been Very Fieldwork Friendly!”

History
Mr G Morgan
It has been another busy and enjoyable term
in the History Department. Highlights have
included the October Open Evening with a
Medieval theme. The opportunity to test their
archery skills was enjoyed by both pupils and
parents alike! The department was delighted
that so many History Club members came
along to help out including: Lewis Bennett
(7T), Sebastian Gordon-Davies (7X), Emily
Pearce (7X), Elizabeth McCulloch (7E),
Lydia Ferriday (8O), Amy Gifford (8O) and
Lauren Vowles (8W).
Year 8 have enjoyed performing plays to find
out why Henry VIII got married 6 times and
why Elizabeth decided not to marry at all! They
thoroughly enjoyed their visit to the Tower of
London in November especially seeing the
place where Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard
were executed. They also had a great time
exploring the cultural side to London; especially
visiting Covent Garden and seeing Blood
Brothers in the West End.
History Club has once again been a roaring
success with an enthusiastic group of pupils
from Years 7, 8 and 9 all eager to learn about
History outside the classroom environment.
They have been meeting regularly on a Monday
after school and have been creating displays
on topics such as famous assassinations
that will be exhibited in several of the
History classrooms. They have also demonstrated
their creative skills in preparing and
creating props for the Open Evening.
History pupils have studied a lot of interesting
key issues this term. In Year 7 pupils have
been learning about the Battle of Hastings
and who became King of England in 1066.
At GCSE level Year 9 and 10 have been
studying the problems and challenges of
1920s America including the Prohibition and
the rise of gangsters. Both Years have made
an encouraging and enthusiastic start to the
course. Well done!
Year 11 have been examining life in Nazi Germany
before and during World War II. Recently
they have studied the reasons for the
Holocaust and the impact of war on Germany.
“History pupils have studied a lot of interesting key issues this term”

Information Technology
Mr P Davies
As part of Stanwell School’s Transition arrangements,
the ICT department played host to pupils
from Albert, Sully and Evenlode Primary Schools
earlier in the term. The aim of the project is to
enable pupils in year 6 to use the ICT Departments
software in preparation for when pupils
come to Stanwell in September 2011. Following
on from the transition activities, parents were able
to see the work that their children had produced
during the school Open Day. Open Evening was
again a big success, a big thank you to all pupils
who supported the department. The ICT department
had its regular Cyber Cafe; delicious cakes
were baked this time by Isabel Grafton 7R and
Abby Mills 7K, thank you girls! Key Stage 4 pupils,
Robert Turton 9M, Kieran Gibbs 9O, Kyle
Strenstrom 9R, Zed Strong 9K and Corrie
Wolfenden 10E, helped organise and advertise
the Games Zone. This allowed parents and Year
6 pupils to experience both playing games, with
the Nintendo Wii, and game creation, using the
latest Mission Maker software.
At KS3 we have been developing pupils web
design and databases skills and many pupils
started to create their own online blog which will act
as a project diary and they are enjoying updating this
at the end of each lesson. Pupils are already achieving
a very high standard of work in lessons and this is
a very pleasing start to the course. With coursework
deadlines looming for year 11 pupils ,they have been
working hard to complete their DIDA Unit 1 and Unit 3
coursework. Although homework clubs have been
quiet this term, they have been very beneficial to
those who have attended, being able to take full advantage
of the focused support from teachers. Some
pupils have worked exceptionally well in their own
time, notably Joe Keenan, Callum Masters, Alexander
Williams, Ben Ware and Rachel Thompson.
have shown a high level of ability in class completing
good work and offering support to others
when it was needed.
Key Stage 4 pupils in year 10 have produced
some excellent work this term, particularly Riyad
Auckbarally, Nicholas Pimlott, Chelsea Mace
and Sian Moss . Pupils have very successfully
In order to support pupils learning Stanwell School
has introduced a Virtual Learning Environment (VLE)
which aims to give pupils access to teaching and
support resources both in school and at home . The
ICT Department have now placed their sixth form and
Key stage 4 resources online and aim to have their
Key stage 3 resources online by mid December.
where homework and marking will now be done electronically,
starting in the New Year.

Maths
Mr M Lewis
Once again the “Maths Mindbenders” on
Open Day was a great success. Many
current and potential pupils enjoyed the
six-puzzle treasure hunt around the Department.
A record number: 140, completed
the puzzles and received a certificate
and a bar of chocolate.
The double Mathematicians in the Sixth
Form took part in the “Senior UK Maths
Challenge”, with the top student being
Matin Boden in Year 13, who achieved
a Gold certificate. Silver certificates
went to the following Year 13s: Jack
Law, Jack Yeo and Liz Elder. Bronze
certificates were awarded to Tom Williams,
Year 13, Rhea Ghosal and
Daniel Luxton, both Year 12. Our congratulations
go to all of these for their
achievements.
Teams were entered in the University of
Glamorgan's Under 19 and Under 17
Maths “Pub Quizzes”. Two Stanwell
teams were entered in each competition,
both competitions had 54 teams from 24
different schools.
In the Under 19 quiz the Year 13 team of
Jack Yeo, Jordan Ford, Liz Elder and
Martin Boden came joint 4th with the
Year 12 team of Liam Pace, Daniel Luxton,
Rhea Ghosal, Nial Armstrong and
Wei Ong finishing 12th.
In the Under 17 quiz the Year 11 team
(pictured below) of Harry McDonough,
Kai Cheung, Joe Ingram, Charles Fear
and Frankie Law were 4th and the other
Year 11 team of Rachel Fegan, Amy
Palin, Joe Keenan, Seren Vickers and
James Chaffey finished 12th. All the students
enjoyed the afternoon competitions
and did very well in our first year in the
competitions.
The Key Stage 3 “Puzzle of the Week”
competition has been enthusiastically received
this term. A different Mathematical
problem is set each week with a randomly
selected correct entry drawn.
The winners so far this term are :
Year 7— Ethan Hutching, Lewis Bennet,
Jamie Penberthy and Alex Hamzelou.
Year 8— Daniel Roberts and Nicole Butler.
Year 9— Jack Powell.
Homework Club for Year 11 has started
and will be continuing on Mondays. This
proved invaluable last year, producing
very good results, and we look forward to
seeing a positive response again this
year.
“Teams finished 4th in both the Under 19 and Under 17 Maths Quiz competitions”

Media & Film
Mr I O’Rourke
The Media & Film department has much
to celebrate so far this year and many
things to look forward to in 2011. The
first high point was on the GCSE and A
Level results days in August, when staff
were delighted to note the high standards
of attainment reached by most pupils.
A*-C was 87% at GCSE and 100%
of A Level pupils attained a D or higher—
well done to all!
The department has also started teaching
the first year of A Level Film Studies.
The new Year 9 cohort have made a
confident start to their GCSE course and
have already displayed their skills as media
analysts in recent textual deconstructions.
Pupils who have worked particularly
well this term include Channing Davies,
Lambert Kalongo, Joel Ringer
and Kirsty Lam.
Year 10 have been working hard on their
induction course and have been focussing
recently on constructing original film
posters in preparation for their coursework.
Creative work has already been
produced by Megan Tunley, Zach
Ghazi-Torbati, Louis Curtis, Ella Butler-Kavanagh
and Broni Coles.
Year 11 pupils have been busy completing
pieces of coursework for their final
folders based on ideas for posters advertising
new teen films and excellent work
has been done by Alana Thomas, Lisa
Gourley and Joe Clissold.
Year 13 pupils have been working hard
this term on their coursework module,
which is worth 50% of their total A2
grade. They have been producing research
investigations on topics of their own
choosing and towards the end of term
started planning their creative pieces. Particularly
strong pieces of work have been
produced by Bethan Savoury, Sophie
Chatham, Darren Breed, Becky Boyce
and Alex Mancuso. Year 12 pupils are
starting their coursework module soon and
are already planning their films! Pupils who
have already produced excellent work include
Olivia Davies, Jacob Smith, Jordan
Holt, Sam Green, Jennifer Adams and
Tom Campion.
Earlier in the term, a group of our Year 12
& 13 students participated in National Film
Week and visited the Odeon Cinema at
Cardiff Bay for a special screening of
James Cameron’s Avatar.
The department also created the digital displays
for Stanwell’s production of ‘Grease’.
Projections were used as part of the stage
set with the original designs courtesy of
Year 13 pupil, Matthew Goodfellow. Matt
also helped with the production of the programme
advertising the show. Film students
from within the Media Department
recorded the production for posterity!.
Open Day was a great success this year.
Year 12 & 13 coursework films were on
show as was our portable lighting rig, film
camera and editing suite.
“The Media & Film department has much to celebrate this year and many things to look forward to in 2011.”

Modern Foreign Languages
Mrs T Davis
This term has seen a big change for us
in the Modern Languages department as
we have decided to strengthen the ties
between French and German resulting in
more joint ventures.
The first evidence of this was the
“Europa Café” on Open day. It’s popularity
was unaffected by the change of
name and if anything the wider range of
cakes available made it even more popular!
First prize went to
Isla Williams
(Y13) with her very
imaginative
“Hamburger” cup
cake.
Second prize went to Phoebe Christie
(Y8) and joint third prize to Ellie Davis
(Y13) and Emma Davies and Milly Williams
(Y8). Amy Yeo (Y7) also had a
prize for the best presentation as her cupcakes
arrived in a beautiful box tied up
with ribbon!
There was a fabulous selection of cakes
and biscuits, kindly baked by our talented
students. Eva Vestergaard (Y9)
baked an authentic German “Gugelhopf”
cake which was delicious.
The “Decorate a cup cake” competition
took place again and the entries were
wonderful and very creative, making
choosing the winners very difficult. Luckily
PC Emma Mudie was on hand to
help us select the winners.
We also had a quiz where people had to
identify why various German and French
people were famous. This was won by
Daniel Casseldine (Y7) with a little help
from mum!
A big thank you to our helpers on the day:
Martin Doyle (Y8), Ellie Davis (Y13), Ergenia
Brusnitskaya (Y8) and Christina
Bugert (Y8).
“The Europa Café on Open Day was a huge success!”

Modern Foreign Languages
Mrs T Davis
In September we
celebrated the European
day of Languages
by giving
pupils taster sessions
in other languages,
such as
Spanish, Italian and
Russian.
The prize for the most adventurous
teacher goes to Miss Lemon who taught
some Swedish at the request of her Y11
class. Some very keen pupils had even
been to Ikea to purchase some authentic
Swedish food to add to the festivities and
baked some traditional Swedish delights.
In October a group of A level French students
saw Truffaut’s “Les 400
Coups” (The 400 Blows) at Chapter Arts
centre as part of the National Schools
Film week. The pupils enjoyed their first
experience of “New Wave” cinema,
which was introduced by a senior lecturer
from Cardiff University.
Planning for next year’s German exchange
has begun. In April we will be
travelling to Staufen. Year 9 are looking
forward to meeting up with their penfriends
again after spending a most enjoyable
ten days together in July. The
year 8 pupils are being matched up and
will soon be finding out the names of
their partners.
On the international
front Mrs
Symonds
will be taking
a group
of 55 Year 8
pupils to
Paris in
March next
year. This is
a joint venture with the Welsh department
to sample the St. David’s Day celebrations
which take place in Disneyland Paris. Pupils
will also be enjoying a boat trip down
the Seine, a visit to the Eifel Tower and to
the cathedral of Notre Dame.
Lots of pupils in French and German have
been working hard this term and we have
awarded a record number of merit points
and certificates. These pupils have then
been entered into the monthly raffle draws
and there have been lots of lucky winners.

Music
Mrs J Richards
Following excellent summer results both at
GCSE and A Level, we were soon steeped
in serious auditioning when we decided to
present the hot West End musical ‘Grease’.
We obtained the rights to perform the
show, and have been extremely busy in
rehearsals ever since! The performances
have been scheduled to take part Dec 13 th
-16 th inclusive in the school auditorium -
and at the time of writing, students are
really looking forward to the performances.
The production offers opportunity for creative
staging, exciting solo, ensemble and
chorus pieces– not to forget our talented
musicians, always accompanying the
singing and dancing so professionally.
Taite Drew in Year 11 has been cast as Dann
and Emma Campbell in Year 13 as Sandy.
Other senior groups and Key Stage Three
extra curricular music groups have also
been working hard this term and have enjoyed
building up repertoire and skills in
weekly after-school rehearsals. The senior
jazz group and senior choir began learning
their new repertoire in earnest at the start
of term, and all Key Stage 3 music clubs
such as Outsiders, Junior Jazz and Girl’s
Choir have been preparing for a concert,
which they hope to perform in the New
Year. Girl’s Choir are singing songs such
as ‘Put Your Records On’ and ‘What If’.
Junior Jazz have been playing ‘I Feel
Good’ and ‘Rock Around the Clock’. Outsiders
(KS3 boys choir) have been performing
songs such as ‘Dreaming of You’
and ‘Boulevard of Broken Dreams’.
It is always such a pleasure to rehearse
with our pupils as their hard work, obvious
talent and dedication brings superb rewards.....all
these groups will have an opportunity
to perform publicly next term – so watch
this space!
Many pupils in Stanwell have peripatetic instrumental
or vocal lessons and the numbers
this year are again high. It should be noted
that the department has a selection of instruments
available for pupils to learn, (these include
an oboe, bassoon and some cellos). If
anybody is interested in learning, please see a
member of the music department to find out
more details, as pupils can sign up for lessons
after Christmas.
Many pupils have again attended Music Technology
workshops, which are held regularly
after school and appeal to many pupils. Mr
Reid, the music technician, has prepared
courses which so many pupils really enjoy.
The computer suites and the recording studio
have been updated to include the latest versions
of Sibelius, Cubase and Reason - and
this has been most beneficial, not only to Key
Stage three classes , but especially to our current
examination students who are working
hard to produce compositions for their GCSE
and AS / A Level coursework portfolios.
Many pupils have been busily preparing themselves
for music practical examinations at the
end of this term. We hope all your hard work
has been worthwhile...and that you pass with
flying colours.
In addition, Stanwell is always well represented
in County Music concerts at the end of
term, and all those involved deserve praise
and recognition for their contribution. During
the last week of term, many of our pupils will
have performed in City Hall, St Davids Hall
and Cardiff County Hall, in senior County
groups such as Jazz News, the County Youth
Choir and the County Youth Brass Band. Well
done everybody.
Have a Happy Christmas!
“pleasure to rehearse with our pupils”

Physical
Education
Netball
Year 7- This club has proved popular
once again with over 40 girls attending
every Wednesday after school. It has
been really difficult to chose an A and a B
team with the standard being so high. The
girls have played in a number of matches
with successful wins against St. Richard
Gwyn and Bro Morgannwg. The 7B team
recently played in a 7B tournament at
Talybont, where after playing an
exhausting 7 matches made it through to
the final against Llanishen. They
unfortunately lost in the final 4-1 but
showed an excellent display of netball
throughout. The girls were awarded with
medals by a Welsh netball coach.
Hopefully the 7A netball team will do as
well in March.
Year 8– The Year 8 team has continued
to build upon the excellent play produced
in Year 7. They have won a number of
matches including beating Llantwit 13-1
and St. Richard Gwyn 7-0. The girls are
working hard in the build up to the county
tournament where they narrowly missed
out on reaching the final last year.
A special mention to Milly Williams who
has joined the team this year and has already
made some valuable contributions.
Year 9- Training has been going well with
the Year 9 team with plenty of competition
for positions. They have had some good
matches against St. Richard Gwyn and
Llantwit. Keep up the good work girls.
Mr I Summerfield
Special mention to Carys Warner, Leah
Wenger and Laura Gale who have all
played very well so far this season.
Year 10– Year 10 have also been working
well so far this season. They have lost 2 of
their 3 matches but had a good win 6-2
against St. Richard Gwyn. It has been
really nice to see Martha Jenkins back
training and playing after a year out. She
has contributed well to the team. All girls
have played well so far and need to keep
up the good work.
Cross country
Girls– The cross country season got off to
a good start in September with good runs
from Emily Wooster (Yr 7), Kate Coker
(Yr 9) and Anna Mirza Davies (Yr 8).
These three girls have progressed in
every race and are currently in a very
good position going into the championship
in January.
In the South Wales schools competition,
there was another impressive run from
Kate Coker.
On a cold day in November, a team of 10
Year 7 and 8 girls travelled to Brecon for
the Welsh schools competition. Kate
Coker produced a fantastic run coming
4th in a very tough field, while Emily
Wooster, Anna Mirza Davies, Rebecca
Humpage and Annabelle Birch– Hurst
finished in close succession which resulted
in the Year 7 and 8 team coming
4th in Wales. Well done girls!
“girls were awarded with medals by a Welsh netball coach”

Physical
Education
Boys - The boys’ cross country team got off
to a flying start in September with the Year
7 team coming second in their first race.
Strong performances from Cameron
House, Ethan Hutchings, and Alex Langrish
helped the team make their mark
against tough opposition. The whole team
have showed commitment in their training,
turning up in any weather conditions with
their hard work paid off in the second
league race which they won as a team and
Spencer Robinson winning out of over 200
competitors. They are currently 1 st in the
league with one race left to go in January.
The team recently travelled to Brecon to
compete in the Welsh Schools Championships,
gaining vital experience ready for
their January league race.
In other years, Rhys Fford (year 8), Ieuan
Jones, Elliot Richards, Tamas Barry and
James Flanagan (year 10) have all worked
hard in training and improved through each
race with Rhys, Ieuan and Elliot representing
Stanwell at the Welsh Schools Championships
in Brecon.
Girls Football
Year 7, 8 and 9– We have recently started a
girls’ football club here at Stanwell and it
has gone from strength to strength. Attendance
rates have been very pleasing and
new pupils continue to show interest in joining.
In the matches, the girls have performed
extremely well and are currently undefeated,
having beaten Bryn Hafren 2-0
(goal scorers: Kelsey Murray and Ellie
Wenger (Yr 8) and Cowbridge 9-0
(goal scorers: Kelsey Murray, Ellie
Wenger, Lucia Attanasio (Yr 8) and
Ellie Rees (Yr 9). Well done girls and
good luck for the rest of the season!
Rugby
Mr I Summerfield
Year 7– An excellent start to the year,
for Year 7 Rugby with many enthusiastic
and talented Rugby players. At
present the team is unbeaten having
played Llantwit Major, Barry Boys
and a strong Cowbridge side. The
team has been well led by Spencer
Robinson and has received excellent
support from Joe Short, Charles De
Grey, Will Gale and Morgan
Humphries. The top try scorer of the
three games has been George Roberts
in the backs.
Year 8– The Year 8 Rugby team are
making steady progress but are being
hindered by poor attendance at training.
The team has benefited from an
influx of new players who have
equipped themselves really well. Zak
Dyer, Oliver Shore, Liam Quinn,
Ellis Pymon and James Cople have
been present at all games and training
. With regular attendance at training
by all players, performances will
improve.
Year 9- The year 9 rugby team has
played some very high quality rugby
this term, with a number of strong
“showing commitment in their training”

Physical
Education
powerful forwards and fast running
backs, they have been able to provide
some breath taking moments of rugby
for the many dependable spectators that
have watched their matches come rain
or shine.
Year 10- Year 10 rugby has started on a
positive note with some very good away
wins. This is a side that has shown, in
some hard, physical games over the
past two seasons, that they have a passion
for the sport and the potential to be
a very good side. With four current district
players (Harry Roberts, Nicholas
Boudier, Matthew Allen and Alan
Doyle) and many others playing to that
standard , it will be interesting to see just
how well these young men can do.
Seniors- This has been a very exciting
year for the Senior Rugby Side. They
began with a team building evening at
the White Water Rafting Centre which
was a huge success. This was followed
by being accepted into the Blues South
League in which they have put on many
good performances against teams such
as Howells and Ysgol Bro Morgannwg.
They have also been lucky enough to
have a new Canterbury kit given to them
by Stanwell PTA for which they are very
thankful.
Girls Basketball-
Year 7,8 and 9– Basketball club has
proved to be very popular again this year
with its attendance growing in Years 7, 8
and 9. The girls have shown excellent
commitment and dedication to their training
and have worked extremely hard
since the start of term. They are now
looking forward to beginning their season
with a number of games lined up for the
end of December against St. Cyres and
Cowbridge. I am sure that we will see the
same success from these young girls as
last year. Special mention goes to Seren
Marsh, Rebecca Humpage, Anna
Jones (Yr 7), Rebecca Egerstrom,
Shanice Donovan, Ellie Wenger (Yr 8),
Keeley Durham, Harriet Blunden and
Leah Wenger (Yr 9).
Football
Mr I Summerfield
Year 8 - The Year 8 football team, led by
Mathew Bennett, has made a great start
with a win away at Barry, the team is going
from strength to strength in training
and we are looking forward to more fixtures
in the near future.
Year 10 - The Year 10 team had a strong
start to the season with a 5-0 win against
Michaelston Community College. The
team have been showing commitment in
their training and have worked hard in
their other matches and are looking forward
to future fixtures. Top goal scorer –
Fraser Hodgkins, Captain – Max Bramhill.
“team building ...huge success”

Psychology
Miss L Donovan
It has been a busy and enjoyable term in the
Psychology Department. Highlights have included
the October Open Day which was a
great success as visitors were keen to get involved.
Favourite activities included the
Stroop test, which required participants to
override the automatic process of reading
meaning into words, as well as attempts to
guess the real smile from a series of genuine
and posed photographs.
Year 12 have worked hard this term as they
have been introduced to research into the nature
and structure of memory. This has involved
practical class experiments to assess
the differences between short term and long
term memory. Students have also used cognitive
models to explain how memory works.
They particularly enjoyed designing models
of their own in class. This knowledge of
memory has been applied to everyday life
when looking at the accuracy of eye witness
testimony and techniques to improve memory
including mind maps and peg word methods.
Students have examined evidence which
shows these strategies work. This has an important
message as the students prepare to sit
their first AS exam in January on Memory,
Attachment and Research Methods.
Year 12 groups have been looking at the key
impact of attachment theory on society. They
have looked at the roles of comfort, responsiveness
and food in order to understand that there
is an interaction of many factors in producing
developmental outcomes. More recently students
have enjoyed looking at topical issues relating
to attachment including the issue of day
care. They have examined research which suggests
day care can be potentially harmful whilst
other contradictory studies have asserted the
benefits of day care for social development.
Year 13 are also preparing for exams early in
the new year. They have shown great interest in
the topic of psychopathology as we have discussed
the issues surrounding the classification
and diagnosis of depression. Students have enjoyed
exploring the various explanations of depression
and the different approaches to treatment
ranging from drug therapy to psychoanalysis
or ECT. Students have also enjoyed
studying the new topic of addictive behaviour.
They have looked at initiation, maintenance and
relapse of specific addictions such as smoking
and gambling and more recently have been
learning about interventions to deal with such
addictions. In research methods students have
been revising the various ways in which research
can be conducted and have been considering
how the scientific method can be applied
to human behaviour.
Many students in Year 12 and 13 have taken
advantage of Psychology drop-in sessions on
Wednesdays from 3-4.30pm. Students have
used these sessions as an opportunity to begin
revision early or to revisit more challenging aspects
of the course. These will continue in the
new year and all Psychology students are welcome
to attend.
We wish all the students taking exams in January
the best of luck.
“Students ….taken advantage of Psychology drop-in sessions”

Education
Mrs J Skilton
Open Day
The RE Department had a steady stream
of visitors during the evening. Many prospective
pupils and parents contributed to
the “Questions for God” asking challenging
questions of God. As thinking skills remain
such a key focus in RE it was encouraging
to see so many future Stanwell
pupils thinking philosophically.
Artefact displays provided a colourful
background and many were interested in
the Smart Board display of work produced
by students to publicise the work of the
Pooncholai Children's Home, for which the
RE Department has raised funds over the
last few years. The presentations highlighted
the difference in lifestyles between
pupils at Pooncholai and those at Stanwell
and the link with India provides real-life examples
to support the pupils’ study of
wealth and poverty as part of their GCSE
course. As both Year 9 and 10 have
raised funds for the children’s home this
year, it was interesting for visitors to see
the range of publicity material promoting
the work of Pooncholai produced by Stanwell
students.

The RE Department’s first cohort of A Level
students are working hard as they approach
their final exams. They are now studying
how to apply ethical theories to the issues of
war and medical dilemmas including cloning
and stem cell research. Dealing with such
controversial topics is what makes the
course so stimulating and exciting and all
the students are rising to the challenge.

Science
Mr P Johnson
SCIENCE
Year 7 pupils have been enjoying some extracurricular
activities in their first term at Stanwell.
Under the enthusiastic guidance of new
members of staff, Ms Brown and Mr Patterson,
they have been attending Science Club each
Wednesday
evening after
school to get
some hands-on
experience with
activities such
as ‘Flubber’,
making paper
aeroplanes and
water rockets, as well as Alka Seltzer rockets.
They have been having lots of fun building
‘straw structures’ and carrying out some
Forensic Science with Fingerprinting. Other

may impact on the immediate community.
Open Day in the Chemistry Department proved
to be very successful with many visitors
experiencing such events as ‘Purple Clouds’,
‘The Mighty Whoosh’, custard powder
explosions and how not to put out a Chip Pan
fire !There were also displays on ‘Chemistry
through the Key Stages ‘.
APPLIED SCIENCE
It has been an exciting time with the
introduction of A level Applied Science in
September. The students who are studying the
course have thrown themselves into the first
topic on Health Science. It has been a pleasure
to teach such an enthusiastic group—but
somewhat disturbing to see how much some of
them relish the dissection ! The whole
department wish them every success with their
first external examination in January.
BIOLOGY
Despite this very busy term two members of
year 13, Jessica Herrity and Elizabeth Turner
have found time to complete the CREST Gold
Award for work that they did in university this
year, congratulations to them on receiving this
prestigious award from the British Science
association. Open Day was very busy in the
Biology department, the most popular activity
being testing different foods.
Homework Club and the 6th form revision
sessions have been well attended this term,
thanks to all those pupils and students who
have kept us busy.
Year 12 enjoyed an informative visit to Cardiff
in December to the annual Genetics Lectures
organised by Gene Park Wales.
Year 13 also found the visit of Anne Marsden,
a specialist in the treatment of kidney disease
particularly informative, and her talk prompted
much discussion.
Finally we would like to wish all those taking
external examinations in January every
success.
PHYSICS
The Physics department has had a very busy
start to the year. It has been particularly
pleasing to see and support so many keen
GCSE and A level students in study periods
and after school.
Open day for the Physics department proved
particularly popular this year with many visitors
competing for the best fruity battery and crowds
gathering to watch the balloon on a bed of nails
pressure demo.

Year 12
Mr K Watkins and
R Relph
It’s been an exciting term in Year 12 with
the Welsh Baccalaureate course well underway.
Students have been busy working
on the Team Enterprise activity that
serves as a basis for the requirements of
the Key Skill of ’Working with Others’.
The teams worked on designing, planning,
producing, financing and marketing their
products, leading up to the October Open
Evening where a ’Trade Fair’ was held for
the new businesses to sell their products.
This was incredibly successful with all
teams selling high quality products, making
a profit and pupils thoroughly enjoying
the new experience. We may see some
budding entrepreneurs from the year
group in the future. All groups were given
school loans decided on by local business
people to finance their product. How
much depended on how they impressed in
a ’Dragons’ Den’ style presentation given
by each group. We would like to thank all
the ’Dragons’ for their help and contribution
in making the Team Enterprise activity
such a success.
The students are also in the process of
fulfilling their 30 hour ‘Community Participation’
commitments. Some have chosen
to do this in school through helping
younger pupils in classes as part of Stanwell’s
long running ’Buddy’ Scheme whilst
others are helping out in the community.
Many have continued the links that Stanwell
has with various charities including
The Red Cross, Marie Curie, The Alzheimer's
Society, PHAB and Oxfam.
As part of the ‘Wales, Europe and the
World’ element of the Qualification, students
have taken a module entitled
’Understanding Democracy.’ They considered
how Stanwell would operate as a direct
democracy and the arguments for and
against lowering the voting age; as well as
investigating the political systems in other
countries. They have also embarked on
their ’Essential Skills Wales’ communication
work by considering the position of the
Welsh language in contemporary society.
Several of our students are already seriously
planning for the future, taking part in
the Medlink and other Workshop conferences
at Nottingham in December. Others
have been spending time with Barry Magistrates,
who have been taking sessions in
school with those interested in a career in
Law.
Several students-Ben Bellingham, Kate
Humphries, Victoria Scaglioni, Sarah
Boden, Jasmine Vincent, Natalie Caple,
Tom Elliott, Jorjah Chedzey, Emily Davies,
Miles Braithwaite, Sochia Enos,
Elise Westcott, Grace Jenkins, and Jessica
Neff are looking forward to raising
money for the Joshua Foundation. Patrick
Mullan, Ella Mott-Riley, Andrew Graham,
Victoria Scaglioni and Tom Elliott
are busy raising funds for the Lesotho
Project.
Daniel Luxton, Alex Samuel, Helen Brabham,
Andrew Sims, Katie Rowlands and
Rosemary Tuthill are working hard on
their Engineering Scheme project.
We would like to finish with a reminder that
Year 12 students will receive a Mid Year
report on their progress in January and also
to thank all parents for your acknowledgements
of the November Interim reports.
“incredibly successful with all teams selling high quality products”

Year 13
Mr K Watkins and
R Relph
Since completing their AS examinations,
Year 13 have been focusing sharply on
their post-18 intentions, which for the majority
means moving into Higher Education.
Indeed, much time has been spent
researching courses and making important
decisions about what to study and
where. Personal Statements have been
drafted and re-drafted, UCAS forms have
been completed and references have
been written and then discussed in 1:1
situations.
A lot of tutorial and assembly time has
been dedicated to UCAS-related activities,
representatives from Cardiff University
have given a valuable talk on interview
techniques and they and other agencies
have conducted a series of mock interviews.
With this the largest Year 13 the
school has ever had, it is not surprising
that we have a record number of students
applying to Oxbridge with a total of 21, as
well as an additional 10 who have chosen
to study Medicine, Dentistry or Veterinary
Science. We wish them and all our other
students every success.
The highlight of the term, though, has undoubtedly
been the opening of the new
Year 13 Study Centre on Monday, 13 th
October. This provides a very large, multi
-functional and attractively furnished area
with access to computers and private
study rooms, as well as informal seating
and a new secretarial office.
The Head Boy and Head Girl, Daniel Phillips
and Sarah Jones, performed the
opening ceremony during which they expressed
their gratitude to all staff, builders
and contractors, who had worked so hard
to complete such an exceptional facility.
Year group members have also been busy
in a personal capacity:
Emma Campbell starred in the lead role of
Sandy in the Senior Musical Grease and
Isla Williams played Patti Gilmour. Arthur
Kelly played in the band.
Joe Rogers, Joshua Wainscott, David
Richards, James Verdon, Jordan Rhaman
and Tom Gillanders continue to perform
regularly for the Senior Rugby team.
Several students have continued links with
various charities-Joe Turner with St
John’s Ambulance; Sophie Mair with
Marie Curie, Amy Pemberton with PDSA,
Natasha Martell with the Joshua Foundation
and John Teagle with a monthly
‘Homeless Run’ in Cardiff with his church.
Many students have been successful with
their Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award- Peter
Wooley, Jessica Eades, Georgia Dodd,
Peter Pemberton, Tomos Davies, Caitlin
couper, David Ring, Laura Flynn, Sam
Pena-Taylor and James Brown.
Jamie Lam and Amila Alim had their
Product Design projects selected for display
