                Message from the Headteacher, Mrs Linney-Drouet
I hope you had a restful half-term break, and that you got the space and time to reconnect with family and friends. Our
students, your children, worked really hard last half-term. They played hard, worked hard and represented the very best
of Cornwallis Academy. If there were some wobbles, inappropriate behaviour or lack of commitment to their academic
study, half-term was the time to reflect to come back to school full of energy and focus.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Year 11 Dance performance yesterday evening and congratulations to all our Year 11 Dance
students. The standards of their dancing, their enthusiasm, dedication and commitment to ensuring they get the best
outcome is remarkable. I am looking forward to watching our Year 11 Drama students perform equally well this evening.

Please remember if you would like to see me, email ilinneydrouet@cornwallisacademy.com. Appointments are at my
discretion. If I feel that another member of staff can deal with the issue I will pass it on. However, if I feel the concerns
can be dealt with by email, my PA will inform you directly.

Welcome back, I hope you all had an enjoyable half term.

The half term started on a high with the Valentines Disco. The students had a thoroughly enjoyable time and danced
their hearts out.

This week’s assembly was led by the Head of Science, Mr Williams, on National Science week. The students were very
surprised at the damage humans make to the environment and were keen to know what they can do to help support
decreasing pollution to the environment.

Changes to the Form group 7AH: Students who were in 7AH have now all been moved into different Form groups due to
a change of circumstances.

Dates for your diary:
        Friday 8th March - Year 7 students will be watching a performance on road safety.
        Thursday 25th April - Parents evening

Welcome back for Term 4, I hope you have all had a nice relaxing break.

This week in assembly Mr Williams (Head of Science) presented about British Science week. Students learnt about the
difference made by different Scientists in history and how Science has helped to evolve the world today. Students were
also asked to consider their contribution towards society in relation to plastics and where they end up. Students were
encouraged to ensure that they are always putting their plastics and their litter into bins/recycle bins provided around
the school.

Students also attended a second assembly this week to celebrate their successes and achievements for Term 3. Below
are the categories and winners. A huge well done to all students for their efforts last term.

This week
This week Year 9 students attended 4 Options assemblies, where they were introduced to key information about the
subjects available for study at KS4. The assemblies were extremely informative and have given the students a lot to think
about. Pupils have been encouraged to make a note of any questions they may have and bring these along to Options
Evening to discuss with the relevant members of staff.

Reminders and Key Dates
Options Evening will take place next Thursday 7th March. It is vital that all students and parents/guardians attend the
evening in order to receive vital information about the future studies of our Year 9 students. All students have received
a letter and all reply slips should be returned to Form Tutors as soon as possible. If you have any questions, please do
not hesitate to get in contact. I look forward to seeing you all next week.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank parents and guardians for their continued support in upholding the school’s
expectations and policies. Please can I ask that you remind students that if jewellery is worn, it should be limited to one
small pair of gold/silver sleeper studs in each ear lobe. Jewellery worn in any other piercing (e.g. eye-brow, nose, upper
ear, lip, tongue etc) is NOT permitted. Additional items of jewellery, with the exception of a watch should not be worn.
E.g. necklaces/chains, bracelets, rings etc.

Welcome back, I hope you all had a restful half term break and enjoyed the time with friends and family.

Students will be using wellbeing time this term for revision so please make sure your son/daughter has revision materials
in their bag to use for wellbeing time. This is all in preparation for the PPE exams in April.

As you will be aware last term we had a big push on lateness around the academy and I introduced the new systems of
if students were late three times within a day they would be isolated and again I would like to thank you for your support
with the matter and the take the opportunity to remind you of this. This term I would really appreciate your support in
making sure jewellery and uniform is always correct I have attached below the jewellery policy as a reminder of our
expectations in school. Coats should NOT be worn inside the academy.

Jewellery
One small pair of gold/silver sleeper studs, one worn in each ear lobe is permissible. Jewellery worn
in any other piercing (e.g. eye-brow, nose, upper ear, lip, tongue etc) is NOT permitted

                                          Mr Spurling: Head of Year 11
This week, Year 11s are completing their Future meetings with the Sixth Form team. These have proved very useful with
regards to Year 11s focussing on their Post-16 options, and making informed choices.

Please can parents continue to encourage their son / daughter to attend after school revision sessions throughout Term
4. These sessions are invaluable for students as an addition to work completed in lessons and at home.

                                            Mr Sutton: Director of Sixth Form
This week our Year 12 students took part in an interactive workshop on
road safety. The Young Driver & Passenger Safety theatre presentation
gave an insight into the potential risks that young drivers can be exposed
to and how to ensure they stay safe on the roads.

Students commented that although the performance was at times light
hearted the message still came across. One year 12 said “I was really
shocked by some of the statistics they told us about, but I thought the
workshop was really beneficial. It will definitely make me think about my
driving when I start lessons later this year." Another commented that
“the section at the end where two students had to answer random
questions whilst counting blue circles on the screen was a really effective
way to show how hard it is to concentrate on multiple tasks even if they
seemed really simple”.

As mentioned in our last bulletin before the half term break, public exams for our Year 13s and some of our Year 12
students are now only weeks away. If your son or daughter is completing their studies with us this year but has not yet
secured an onward route, we are able to offer a bespoke 1 – 1 careers interview with our Careers and Guidance Advisor
Tracy McIntyre. If you would like your son / daughter to see Ms McIntyre, you can email her directly to request an
appointment using the following email – tmcintyre@cornwallisacademy.com. You are also welcome to attend if you feel
this would be beneficial.

Can I also take this opportunity to remind parents and students that attendance to both morning registration and study
periods (except those that fall after lunch) is compulsory. If you are unsure when your son / daughter has study periods
and would like a copy of their timetable emailed to you please get in touch with either myself or Mrs Woollett using the
email addresses below.

Finally, for this week if you have any concerns or questions about your child or would like to arrange a meeting with
either myself or Mrs Woollett please get in touch via email, using the addresses below and one of us will respond to you
at our earliest convenience.

                                                   Football Reports
Year 10 Football v Aylesford Sports College- Thursday 7th February 2019
Cornwallis travelled to the improved Aylesford Sports College who had recruited well during the transfer window. One
of the new imports was a striker from Holmesdale who had a big game and gave our back 3 trouble throughout the
match. It was obvious he was worth the big transfer fee.

Cornwallis started well and it was a frantic pace for the first 20 minutes. Cornwallis had most of the possession but were
missing their experienced right wing through a broken nail injury. There were plenty of opportunities to score, and in
one sequence there 4 missed opportunities at close range. Credit had to be given to the Aylesford defence and their
goalkeeper for keeping out so many chances.

It was fairly typical that a goal would be scored against the run of play, and that is what happened. Aylesford got the ball
down the pitch quickly before our defence could set and a well-executed left foot by their left winger finished off the
play.

In the 2nd half Cornwallis picked up the pace again led by captain Ethan Smith who directed play from the middle, with
vice-captain Bailey Scales assisting on the right wing. Cornwallis managed to get into the lead with 2 quick goals from
Miles Davis, with a brain explosion between centre back Harrison Julier and fill in goalkeeper Harry Giles leading to the
2nd goal.

The confidence and momentum swung once again in favour of Aylesford and it was only a matter of time before the big
signing striker finished the game with a goal to put Aylesford on top of the table with a 3-2 win.

Team List:
       Harry Giles                                      Dylan Holness
       Ethan Smith                                      Jed Johnson
       Bailey Scales                                    Ethan Gubbins
       Harry Salih                                      Alfie Matthews
       Jason Graham                                     Harry Julier
       Miles Davis                                      Charlie Whitehead

1st XI – Cornwallis Academy vs Trinity School (Sevenoaks)
The first XI team were playing a side who in the season had finished 9th and were therefore expecting a win. The team
were given the opportunity to play on a fantastic surface, playing at Sevenoaks FC. The boys started very brightly,
passing the ball around with confidence. It only took 5 minutes until Cornwallis got their first deserved goal, with Callum
Arter finishing from close range. The first half continued in the same manner, with Cornwallis dominating possession
and the back line having a comfortable day. Goals came at a frequent rate, with further finishes from Harry Peach,
George Rofe and another from Callum Arter.

Half time: Cornwallis Academy 5 – 0 Trinity School (Sevenoaks)

Trinity School could not cope with the heavy pressure being applied to them, with Cornwallis starting the second half
where they left off. The impressive Jamie Clegett ran the back line well and was even given the opportunity to venture
forward for a deserved goal. A Ben Topham penalty, Ryan Keating header and a fantastic strike from 25 yards by Haroun
Ahaouari made the score line 8-0 with still 10 minutes to play. Minutes before the full time whistle, Jamie Clegett
topped off his man of the match performance with a close range finish to make the score 9-0. A fantastic performance
from the boys.

Cornwallis Academy 9 – 0 Trinity School (Sevenoaks)

Year 7 Netball V New Line Learning – Tuesday 12th February
Cornwallis travelled to New Line Learning to play their match this week. Cornwallis started off the stronger team and
managed to get the ball into the shooting circle well. Cornwallis went 3-0 up during the first quarter with some excellent
shooting from Lacey Swaden. Freya Gubbins and Olivia Orrell played well together, linking some good passes from the
centre court and into the shooting circle.

New Line Learning did come back stronger in the 2nd and 3rd quarter and managed to score 2 goals, despite some good
defending from Olivia Halton and Gracie Sevenoaks. Cornwallis were the stronger team overall and managed to score a
few more goals to achieve a win at full time.

Final score was Cornwallis 6 – New Line Learning 2.

          Important Exam Information for the A level and GCSE Summer Exam Season 2019
Please click here for a copy of the Summer 2019 exam timetable

The summer exam season begins on Monday 13th May and finishes on Wednesday 26th June. At Cornwallis Academy
our Year 11 students at this time will commence a personalised timetable providing them with access to subject specialist
teachers for exams they are still to sit and therefore attendance is still compulsory for the entire school day.

Please note that JCQ have stipulated that Wednesday 26th June is a Contingency Day. This means that should there be
national disruption to a day of exams in the summer, the awarding bodies will liaise with the qualification regulators and
the DfE to agree the most appropriate option for managing the impact. As a last resort the affected examinations will be
rescheduled. Although every effort would be taken to keep the impact to a minimum, it is possible that there could be
more than one timetable date affected following the disruption, up to and including the contingency day on 26th June.

Schools will be alerted if it was agreed to reschedule the examinations and the affected students will be expected to
make themselves available in such circumstances. Where students choose not to be available for the rescheduled
examination(s) for reasons other than those traditionally covered by Special Considerations, they will not be eligible for
enhanced grading arrangements. JCQ have also stated that a Contingency Day will be added to all future exam
timetables.

Individual exam timetables and information will be given to students and sent to parents/guardians during the week
beginning 25th March.

Result days are as follows:
       A level – Thursday 15th August, collection between 9.30am and 11.30am
       GCSE – Thursday 22nd August, collection between 10.00am and 11.30am

Reminder - if a student is unable to collect their results in person and would like someone else to collect them on their
behalf, please ensure that the person collecting has a signed permissions letter from the student otherwise their results
will not be released to them. Note: If results are not collected on the relevant Results Day, they will be posted out first
class.

If a student or parent/guardian has any queries or questions regarding exams, please email Mrs Franks, the Exams
Officer, on afranks@cornwallisacademy.com.

                                                 Geography Bulletin
There has been a positive start to the new term in the Geography department.
Students in Years 7, 8 and 9 have begun their new units this week. Hopefully students have been enjoying learning about
Weather and Climate, Asia and Tectonics. Year 11 students are still working on revision for paper 1. Students are
reminded to complete their booklets as per their teachers’ instructions.

Mrs Mannouch has begun putting together a ‘Where have we been?’ display. Students are encouraged to bring
postcards/information cards of places they have been both inside and outside the U.K. Let’s see how many places we
can get.

The following students have been nominated by their teachers for their hard work in lesson and/or for homework. Well
done and keep it up.
Year 7 – Sarah Louise Powell & Lois Drummond
Year 8 – Mia Hindle & Finn Brooker
Year 9 – Aimee Brayshaw & Jason Jones
Year 10 – Grace Crittenden & Bradley Carter
Year 11 – Amelia Brown & Owen Pink

                                                    Art Lino Prints
In Art this term Year 10 have been studying Lino Printing. The textural marks on the lino print are achieved by cutting
out sections with a sharp tool. The ink only prints where the surface remains. Each colour is printed separately.
         Perspective: We based our prints on drawings of our school. To make our drawings look real and solid we used
         single point perspective to accurately draw the interior of Cornwallis Academy.
         Colour: To make our compositions look exciting we experimented with positive and negative, complimentary
         and contrasting colours. We also simplified our paintings to use blocks or no more than 3 colours.

We have received the results for the UKMT Year 9 and 10 Intermediate Challenge that some of our students competed
in at the end of last term. We had a fantastic set of results this year with four gold certificates, 19 silver certificates and
eight bronze certificates awarded. Two of our students, Abigail Aldrich and Bradley Carter, scored so well that they have
been invited to compete in the Pink Kangaroo competition next month, which is an extension to the Intermediate
Challenge. This is a huge achievement, we are very proud of them both!

                                                      World Book Day
On March 7th 2019 it is World Book Day and a chance to celebrate the wonder of stories! Frequently, as English teachers,
we are asked to offer recommendations for Cornwallis readers, both reluctant and avid. The following offers a range of
books that are fantastic reads especially targeted towards teenagers:

                                      Ex-student returns to the Art Department
Our Year 13 artists had the pleasure of a visit and talk from former Cornwallis Art student
Tansy Tester.

Tansy spoke with the students about the work she created on her foundation course and
degree as well as her ongoing progress as a working sculptor. Her work investigates man-
made structures and translates them into resin, rubber and coloured cast materials. The
translation of materials and colours almost makes the solid objects seem almost edible.

Students had the opportunity after the talk to speak with Tansy about their own practical
                                   investigations and creative ideas over the course of
                                   the day and we hope that Tansy will visit us again soon.

                                        Students at Cornwallis will be familiar with a sculptural
                                        figure stood above student reception constructed
                                        from books. Tansy created this in her final year at the
                                        school and it was installed before she departed to
                                        embark on her further studies.

                                            We introduced the use of a specification for the children to design their ideas
                                            for a client. This means that they have to consider the client’s needs and not
                                            just their own.

                                            This is an example of those first ideas being adapted to expand ideas. The class
                                            had twenty minutes to draw one idea and then expand it into 4 developments,
                                            improving the idea as they progressed.

                                               Student Leadership
Last term saw the first official meeting of the house student leadership committee. Over 40 students attended to discuss
how student voice, leadership and community participation should look at Cornwallis. Students from Year 7 through to
Year 13 designed the structure, job roles and application process for house representatives.

At Cornwallis we believe student voice is instrumental in shaping the school and allows students to engage in meaningful
dialogue with teachers and peers about important issues and how we should move forward with student leadership.
Not only does student voice aid in improving the climate of the school but also student achievement, sense of community
and fosters workforce readiness.

The students were proactive, mature and demonstrated the ability to think creatively to provide solutions to questions
posed. Many students such as Euan Carcary, Cara Chiarvesio and Sofia Byrne shone as natural leaders and positive role
models for the younger students within the group.

Sofia commented "It gave us the chance to share our thoughts with other year groups, and discuss the kinds of
opportunities we would like available to students throughout their education here".
This term will see the implementation of the structure created by the committee and the chance for students to formally
apply for these roles.

The structure
Each of the 6 houses will have a prefect team, each member of the team will also sit on the student council, not only
working vertically within the house system but also working closely with the year teams as year prefect. Year 11 and
sixth form students will fulfil the head and deputy prefect roles.

Each house will follow the same leadership structure as below.

                                                     Head
