November has been an extremely busy month here at CtK! Not only is November an opportunity<br />
for us to remember family and friends who are now deceased but also a time for us to give thanks for<br />
what we have! I must draw your attention to the very positive media coverage regarding the<br />
Rolls-Royce Science Prize and of course CtK being featured on the BBC for Children in Need. I am<br />
extremely proud of our achievements and I would like to thank Gill James and Emma Chambers for<br />
their unrelenting commitment to the Science prize and of course the Senior Prefect Team (supported<br />
by Joe Hopkins and Fraser Sanders) for organising Children in Need.<br />
Happy Reading!<br />

SCIENCE TECHNICIAN WINS AWARD...<br />
The Gratnells sponsored Science Technician of the Year award 2016/17 has gone to Gill James,<br />
who works at Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy in Arnold, near Nottingham.<br />
Gill has not only lifted the coveted trophy but has guided her school to the finals of another major<br />
science accolade, the Rolls Royce Science prize.<br />
Working as part of a close-knit team of science technicians and teachers, she has been an example of<br />
the school’s commitment to excellence throughout the range of STEM subjects, developing student<br />
interest along with her meticulous preparation and management of practical science lessons.<br />
Her success in winning the Gratnells Science<br />
Technician of the Year award is another major<br />
milestone in her list of achievements, which has<br />
delighted her colleagues but not surprised them.<br />
Sarah Lissendon Crook, Deputy Head of Science at<br />
Christ the King Catholic Voluntary Academy, says<br />
is the consummate professional with a level of<br />
personal commitment to both teachers and<br />
students which makes her special.<br />

Gill was presented with the award by Gratnells<br />
International Marketing Director Richard Picking at a ceremony held at the National STEM Learning<br />
Centre on York University Campus, receiving £2000 worth of vouchers for her school and a personal<br />
cheque. Next year she will be invited to join the judging panel for the <strong>2017</strong>/18 awards and will become<br />
a member of the newly formed Science Technician Of The Year (STOTY) Alumni Association created by<br />
award sponsors Gratnells.
