The Harveian
Term 3. 2021-2022
Dear Parents,
Welcome to our latest edition of the Harveian. I hope you will once again enjoy
reading about life here at the school. There is so much to life at Harvey that isn’t just
about the learning in the classroom and you can read in this edition about a wide
range of extra-curricular activities including rehearsals for the upcoming live
production of Oliver, Art competitions and a whole host of sporting endeavour and
achievement. I’m sure also that all will be interested in the update on our school dog
Lizzie’s progress. She has certainly proved to be a very popular addition to our
community. Finally, I wish all a very restful and enjoyable half term break.

Art Competition 2022
The art competition was run to help raise awareness for mental health and the importance
of speaking out. The theme of the competition was, “what’s inside your head” and pupils
could express themselves using different media. There have been some amazing entries
from year 7 up to year 13. Well done everyone, you should all be proud of yourselves and I
can’t wait to display all of your wonderful art.
I was blown away by the entries for this competition and had a really tough time
picking the winners with all the great art on display. In the end I chose the winners
based both on the visual appeal of the pieces, and also by how well I felt they
portrayed the concept of being aware your own mental health.
I chose two runners-up.
The first was the painting by
Torin in Year 8. This piece
made such great use of
textures to portray emotion.
The silhouette was a
powerful dark element of the
painting and what I guess
were marks dragged
through the paint almost
made me feel like the raw
emotions of the artist were
being scraped onto their
canvas. Really powerful
stuff.
The second runner up is “Being Myself” by Oscar in Year 13. The figure in this piece
I thought was expertly created. The dark featureless parts of the face like the eyes
and mouth made it a really
haunting image. The
typography is really well done.
Using different sizes of type
for different phrases helped
me visualise the loudness of
the speech that I imagine the
character thinking. I could
almost feel the words being
spoken in the subject's head
as they processed their
emotions. This was just an
overall great use of different
techniques.
6
Finally, the overall winner is “Lost” by Fin in Year 13. This is a technically
spectacular piece. As someone who’s done linocut myself, I really appreciate the
difficulties that printmaking can bring with it, and the execution of this print is
beautiful. The composition immediately jumps out at me, the exaggerated hollow
faces express a very moody emotion, and the poses of the figures perfectly portray a
feeling of being “lost”. Even the subtle texture of the word etched into top of the print
is impressive, people underestimate how tough it is to carve words in reverse!
Overall, this print felt raw, emotional, and I feel it perfectly portrayed the struggles
many people experience with their mental health. Nice work Fin.
I want to personally thank everyone who submitted a piece. I enjoyed each one and
feel like I glimpsed just a little bit of each artist in their work, which is the sign of a
great piece of art.
And thank you for the opportunity to be a part of this. Art for me has always been a
great way to help process emotions and using mental health as the focus of the
creative process is such an amazing way to approach a very difficult topic.

Lizzie, our school dog.
As you are all aware, Lizzie has been into School this term getting used to the
sounds and smells of everyday life at The Harvey.
She has been utterly spoilt by staff
and pupils, and this has allowed for
her transition into school life to be
a smooth and pleasant one.
Lizzie has been attending Puppy
Classes this term and Graduated on
the 3rd of February.
She can perform, Sit, Down, Wait
and Stay comfortably. She has even
mastered the art of sitting patiently
whilst a treat is placed on the floor
in front of her, and waiting until
she is told she can eat it (which
takes a lot of effort for a puppy)!
She will move onto Junior
classes next term where we
will be working on her
recall in open fields, heel
work and progressing with
her general obedience.
I can confidently say she
has enjoyed every single
day at The Harvey so far, so
thank you all for the time
and attention you have
given her. She will certainly
miss you all over Half Term,
so be sure to make a fuss of her when you return!

11Pfizer Lecture
Although we could not visit Pfizer this year our Year 13 Chemists
were very lucky to be involved in a special lecture delivered via
Teams. Our students had made samples of aspirin which had been
sent off to Pfizers Head of Analysis, Don Clark. He used Pfizers multi-
million pound machinery, including Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Spectrometers and Fourier Transform Infra-red spectroscopy to
identify the aspirin the students had made and it's purity.
His lecture
showed the
techniques he
uses everyday
to identify an
unknown
compound,
with our
students really
standing out in
putting forward
ideas on
various possible
molecular
structures,
which
impressed Don.
1213
Our students encounter
these techniques
throughout the course but
they are somewhat spread
out whereas Don showed
them how he uses all the
techniques together to
achieve identification of a
compound.
The students really enjoyed
being able to talk to a
Spectroscopy expert and
have their aspirin samples
analysed!

14MFL News
Year 9
In preparation for their GCSE Option Choices we have been
running a competition for year 9 to understand the importance of learning a language. The
results will be in next term’s Harveian.
See our Stream for more information about languages at GCSE.
Watch 'MFL Dept Yr9 Options' | Microsoft Stream
A level Languages
On Tuesday 8th February the MFL Dept held a Drop-in lunchtime session for any Year 11
student considering either French, Spanish or both A levels. Our current Year 12 students
were available to discuss the benefits of studying a language and the Diner provided some
food for everyone to try. Watch 'MFL Dept Sixth Form Information Evening' | Microsoft Stream
15A level AQA Conference
Our Sixth Form French students
took part in an all-day A level
conference with one of the Senior
MFL Examiners from AQA. The
students were given a valuable
insight into the skills and
requirements for each of the
papers. Furthermore, this revision
conference helped the Year 13s
with their final preparations
before their mocks and provided the Year 12s with tips on how to conduct their
individual research project which they have started working on this term
Stars of the Term
In addition to our Stars of the Week, our MFL Teachers
have picked a student from each class to win our special
pin badge award for this term. Winning students receive
a certificate and badge from Mrs Wyllie for their hard
work and commitment in MFL lessons. Well done to all.

16PSHE Matters
PSHE (Personal Social Health Education)
continues to play an important role in the
development of students at The Harvey.
It’s a subject through which pupils develop
the knowledge, skills, and attributes they
need to keep themselves healthy and safe and prepare for
life and work in modern Britain. Evidence shows that well-
delivered PSHE programs have an impact on both academic
and non-academic outcomes for pupils, particularly the most
vulnerable and disadvantaged.
An example of this has been seen in the work
done by year 9 students this term. As part of a
project to become ‘Year 9 Life Coaches’ the
boys created a sleep app to promote the
benefits good sleep patterns.
17They also designed a healthy routines programme that
focussed on exercise and healthy eating to improve
motivation
TERM 4 Themes:
Year 7 : Health and puberty - Healthy routines; influences
on health; and puberty
Year 8 : Emotional wellbeing - Mental health and emotional
wellbeing, including body image and coping strategies..
Year 9 : UniFrog (careers education)- Planning ahead –
Developing skills and experience for the future.
Year 10 : Exploring influence- The influence and impact of

18FOOTBALL
It’s been another successful season for our teams both locally in the Ashford & Shepway
District Leagues, as well as countywide in the KSFA cup competitions.
The local leagues, in which we entered our A Teams in Division 1 & our B Teams in Division
2, were tightly fought from September to December. Having sides in all but 1 of the divisions,
saw well over 150 boys represent The Harvey at some point during the season.
After Christmas, the top 2 in each Division 1 league then faced off at the Finals Day held at
Homelands in Ashford. The final placings for each team are below;
U12A – Champions (Div 1)
U12B – Runners Up (Div 2)
U13A – Third Place (Div 1)
U13B – Runners Up (Div 2)
U14A – Third Place (Div 1)
U14B – Runners Up (Div 2)
U15 – Champions (Div 1)
U16A – Third Place (Div 1)
U16B – Fourth Place (Div 2)
Updated league standings can be found on the website
https://assfl.leaguerepublic.com/index.html.
At the time of writing, Freddie F (16) leads his Yr7 teammate Harrison I (13) at the top of the
goal scoring charts. Ryan S (Yr8) has stepped up from the B team to that of the A team well,
scoring vital goals for both sides so far – 12 in total. There’s still plenty of games for some of
those lower down the charts to make a push for the Golden Boot though.
U12
The Yr7A team have had a busy
term. First up was an away day up
to Bromley in South London, to
face St Paul’s Academy in the
KSFA QF.
Going 2-0 up in the first half the
boys looked comfortable, only to be
pegged back by our hosts. Extra-
Time couldn’t separate the two
schools, so it went down to
penalties. Some great efforts from
both teams meant it was down to
the last kick for us to score & win.
19Something we did, that made the long journey home much more enjoyable.
Halfway through the term, we then had our League Final game against Norton Knatchbull
over at homelands Stadium.
This time, we had to come from behind, going a goal down midway through the first half. A
great battling performance though saw us come back to not only tie the game up with 5
minutes to go, but then go on & score the winner. IN truth, it should have been a lot more
comfortable than it turned out, with the opposition keeper being named man of the match.
Great reward for a season where the boys have listened, learned & progressed so much
from their opening friendly against the same opposition in September.
At the time of writing, we are leading up to face Knatchbull again (the 4th time in all
competitions this season) in the KSFA county cup semi final. Let’s hope they can progress
on to the final… (Report by Mr Walton)
U15
U15 LEAGUE CHAMPIONS a 2-1 victory over Norton Knatchbull for the U15s this afternoon.
Goals came either side of the half from Pritchard & Dent. An excellent defensive
performance from the whole squad was exemplified by MoM King (Report by Mr Hark)
U16
Our U16A team have continued to build throughout the season. Having already reached the
Semi-Final of the French Cup, which they lost 3-2 to a strong King Ethelbert, they have now
reached the Semi-Final of the Invicta Trophy. This was following an excellent performance in
the Quarter-Final, where they came from 1 goal down to win the game 2-1 against
Canterbury Academy, with 2 goals in the final 15 minutes. They face Norton Knatchball in
the Semi-Final (Report by Mr Towse).
1stXI
The 1stXI season continues (at the time of writing), thanks to a Quarter Final, sudden death penalty
shoot victory in the KSFA county cup against St Gregory’s. Having gone ahead early in the second
half, thanks to a finish at the back post from Luca B, The Harvey started to dominate possession. A
good finish from a St Gregory’s corner however, put the game back in the balance. Nothing could
separate either team in the remaining minutes, meaning it would be settled from the spot.
Some very good penalties from both teams saw the tie go all the way to the goalkeepers each taking
one. Dylan C saved their 11th attempt, before stepping up himself to put us through to face Borden GS
in the semis – to be played the final Wednesday of term (9th Feb). Report by Mr Walton
20VOLLEYBALL
2122
HOCKEY
It has been a hard couple of years for hockey in the county and for us with no possible
fixtures taking place since January 2020, before lockdown. This has meant the current Year
9’s have only played 1 game of hockey since the boys joined us in Year 7! This has resulted
in a mixed start to the season for most age groups.
Year 7’s have been the strongest of our teams
with a comfortable win against Duke of York and
then followed this up with an excellent
tournament against some very good opposition.
They came through the qualifying group in 3rd
with 3 wins and 2 loses but were the dominant
team in most of their games scoring 9 and
conceding 3. This meant we qualified in 3rd and
played Sir Joseph Williamson School in the
quarter final. They were victorious 2-1 in a
composed display and went up against a strong
Kent College team. Unfortunately, after being
camped in the oppositions half, the Harvey lost 3-
0 with one of the players scoring a hat trick of
break away goals. The boys were gutted but
pulled themselves together in the 3rd/4th playoff against Skinners School, who they had lost
1-0 to in the group stage. A 2-0 victory saw the boys celebrate what was an excellent days
hockey. Mention to Will P, Jude F, Harry R and Theo C with some excellent performances
but a special mention to Alfie B who scored 4 goals from centre back and dominated at the
back.
With this being the first opportunity for Year 8 to represent the school at hockey it has been
very much an ‘eye-opener’ for many players. That said, a positive start was had away at
Duke of York’s where The Harvey spent a lot of time in the opposing half and not being able
to secure a goal they deserved until the end of the game with a defected shot from Thomas
S. This positive result was taken to the Tier 1 7-aide County Tournament at Kent College on
Friday 4th February. There were several good performances against some of the best
hockey schools in the county/country but the boys were unable to come away with some
points in the league stages. However, a special mention must go for Auston T who had
several excellent games and has only just started hockey goal keeping. Austin made several
important stop to keep The Harvey in the game. All players are aspiring to improve by
attending training sessions on Wednesdays and hopefully they can return to winning ways.
In Year 9 another good performance and victory over Duke of York 6-1 should have set the
boys up for the Tier 1 hockey tournament at Marden hockey club. Players such as Isaac H,
Jack T, Harrison G, Ambrose D and Ryan P supply a strong spine through the middle of the
park but unfortunately on the day struggled to score drawing 3 games 0-0 and losing the last
1-0. This meant an early exit as Cranbrook also drew 3 games and lost 1 but had drawn a
game 1-1 so went through on goals scored! The boys also played Norton Knatchbull and lost
2-0 but were missing the strike partnership of Jack T and, new to hockey Marcus M. I’m sure
with more games next term allowing for more development the boys will grow in confidence
and stature.
The 1st XI shows great potential but lacks the experience at this level at the moment. At the
recent Frank Mason tournament, out of the 15 players, there were only 3 6th form students,
with only one of these still playing club hockey. The majority of the boys come from Year 11
so if they continue to improve the team could be very strong in the next 2 years. Will D,
Garrett L, Thom C, Matt M and Charlie P have all been involved in the U16 Kent set up and
some have played in the team, which is excellent. It was clear on the day that this was the
case as the boys struggled to cope with the stronger, older boys who have played together
for a long time and some luck would have helped as well! An example of this came against a
23good Simon Langton team. The boys defended admirably and held out until, with only 7
seconds left of the game, a deflected pass left a player clear at the back of the goal to tap
the ball in. Subsequent near loses to Langley, Ashford, and Sir Joseph Williamsons schools
condemned the Harvey team to the bottom of Group D, which the boys renamed the Group
of Death. Again, a lack of goal scoring prowess up front is currently our achilles heel so
hopefully with a bit more motivation the boys will improve going into the second half of the
season with one eye on the Barbados trip in the summer.
There will be a lot more fixtures after half term to allow the boys more opportunities to play
and get back into the swing of scoring and winning games of hockey. Good luck to all
involved.

25JR NBA BASKETBALL LEAGUE
As you may be aware our year 7 and 8 basketball teams have been entered to play
basketball in a Jr. NBA League organized by Basketball England in partnership with the
NBA. The League will feature 30 school teams that will represent one of the 30 NBA teams
throughout the season.
The format will mirror the NBA including a team draft, regular season games, a single-
elimination playoff and final to determine the Jr. NBA League Champion.
Year 7 been selected to represent the Philadelphia 76ers and Year 8 the Boston Celtics.
We have also been provided with a new team kit to match theirs too!
In celebration of this the 2 teams went head to head in a Festival Game of basketball. A
tough fought game with both teams fielding all 12 squad players. Thanks to our year 9 team
for providing and manning the score table and the 6th form Coaches.
The game was very close indeed through the first 3 quarters but the more physical year 8
team took control in the last quarter ending up winners 28-19.
TRAMPOLINING
Kent Schools Championships 2022
KST is a constituted
voluntary organisation.
It is made up of a
number of coaches and
officials from
Trampoline Clubs from
across the county along
with representatives
from a number of Kent
Schools. Its purpose is
to organise, manage
and run trampoline
competitions for schools
across Kent. KST is
keen to see the sport of Trampoline develop and to provide opportunities for those not
already involved in trampoline clubs.
It does this with the help of the annual Schools Competition where pupils will compete two
routines. The first routine completed is a ‘compulsory’ routine. The second routine competed
will be a 10-skill voluntary routine. Our team were entered in the Intermediate category.
26Over the last 3 weeks, thanks to Folkestone Academy allowing us to use their Trampolines,
our year 8 boys have been practicing the Compulsory and developing their Voluntary
routines.
Unfortunately, the South Kent Qualifier event was cancelled due to COVID issues but the
team consisting of Tom M , Stan R and Ilya O, have been successful in going through to the
Kent Finals. They will continue to train now in preparation for the Finals which takes place at
Jumpers Rebound Centre in Gillingham on Wednesday 9th March.
CROSS-COUNTRY
In the midst of a global pandemic, schools and counties have been trying to get as back to
normal as possible and this is just as true in cross country events. Within the Harvey there
has had to be significant change to the usual cross country set up with the development of
the Three Hills athletics track interfering with the cross country route. This meant that this
years Harvey team was compiled with virtual times and an evening event on the main field
organised by Mr Bristow and Mr Cowling. Any pupils were able to compete on a course
designed by Mr Bristow with age groups completing different amounts of laps. This resulted
in nearly 100 competitors across the age groups getting a result and some very quick times,
so well done to all of them. The fastest 6 from each age group (Year 7, Junior - Years 8&9,
Intermediate – Years 10&11, and Senior – Years 12&13) were then entered into the
Shepway competition.
• In Year 7 Jasper C, Thomas R-C and Nico P came an amazing 1st, 2nd and 3rd
respectively.
• Year 9 Jacob R came 2nd in the Junior Competition.
• Year 11 Callum H was 2mins faster than his nearest competitor in the Intermediate
Race.
• Leo C qualified top in the senior competition.
This led racers onto the Kent Cross Country
championships at The Hop Farm in Paddock Wood
against the best runners in the county. Unfortunately not
all competitors from the Harvey could make it for a
variety of reasons including top potential runners Jasper
C (Yr7) with a positive Covid result 2 days before
competition and Callum H (Yr11) with a broken collar
bone from a rugby match. However in difficult conditions
the Harvey boys that did compete performed admirably.
Here’s a quick rundown of some of the best
performances:
Year 7 Boys (81 competitors)
• Nico P 23rd
• Thomas R-C 28th
• Harry R 56th
Junior Boys (105 competitors)
• Louis J (Yr8) 49th
• Ryan S (Yr8) 88th
Senior Boys (37 competitors)
• Leo C 11th
Well done to all runners who competed in the races at
different levels. There were some hard competitions and you all did brilliantly under the
conditions. Hope next year will get back to normal and see even more challenges.
27SPORTS HALL ATHLETICS
Congratulations to the HGS Yr7&8 Sports Hall Athletics Teams who this term won the
Ashford and Folkestone Schools competition.
Competing in the various track and field events the boys did well placing in most of their
events. A couple of injuries led to late minute changes to individual events but the chosen
reserves fitted in well and did a great job supporting their team mates.
Once the final results were coordinated the HGS teams were presented with their well-
deserved gold medals! Report by Mr Dawson
28SPORTS LEADERS
Following Training as Sports Hall Athletics
Officials with SCO Sarah Green the year 9
team were very keen to apply their new-found
skills. Turning up an hour early the team,
under guidance from Pat Hanys, (local
Athletics GURU) managed to set the track and
field events up in good time for the start of the
event.
A final detailed briefing was given before the
teams turned up to make sure that all of the
HGS boys knew exactly what their
responsibility would be for the day.
With the Folkestone competition in the morning and the Ashford District Schools competing
in the afternoon it proved to be a very challenging and very long day for the boys. But a great
opportunity for them to apply
their skills whilst developing
other abilities required when
acting as a Sports Leader.
The track and field events took
place at the same time so the
boys had not only to count
time and record, but also deal
with the chaos as competitors
went from event to event.
Finally the event was over.
Our SCO led a debrief with the
boys where she fed back the
comments passed to her by
the visiting Governing body
representatives and the visiting secondary school staff.
29The boys were elated, and to some respect deflated, by the quiet and calm of the ending
ceremonies. They certainly were a credit to Harvey Grammar school as expected and
looking forward to the next Leaders Event. Report by Mr Dawson
Harvey Grammar School Sportsman of the Term
Louis J (8D)

At the start of last year, the Harvey Sports Journalism YouTube channel was created on
which a majority of sporting fixtures including Football, Basketball, Hockey and Rugby are
recorded, edited and uploaded to the public allowing people to really see what goes on in
the Harvey Grammar Sports Department. You can also find the Harvey Sports “How To”
series that were produced by staff members during Lockdown, as a means to learn new
sporting skills.

SPONSORSHIP
Own a local business?
Know someone who does?
Would you or they be interested in sponsoring or donating to Harvey Sports?
We compete in local, regional, county & national competitions, not to mention the full &
extensive extra-curricular programme we run within school. This gives the boys as much
opportunity to participate, have fun & develop as possible.
We want to continue to do this, whilst inspiring more boys to get involved. The prospect of
pulling on a new Harvey sponsored kit would help this no end.
Contact Mr Cowling (sccowling@harveygs.kent.sch.uk) or Mr Walton
(jwalton@harveygs.kent.sch.uk) for more details.

A reminder that below is the PE & Sport kit for your lessons at The Harvey. All available
