What’s new: The brilliant novelist, Maya Angelou once wrote, “When we give

cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed.”

Our Year 8s did an amazing job during Charities Week, raising

significant money fo ‘Giving Nation’ and a lot of fun was had, as

you can see from the photos. The charities who will benefit from

Year 8s great generosity are Amnesty International, Cancer Research

UK, the Samaritans and the school’s link with Lesotho.

A big thank you to Year 8 parents, who supported students to

organise events and source prizes.

Year 11 11/5—Leavers’ Assembly

Sixth Form

We were visited by ex-Anglo student Adem Aydin, who is currently a photojournalism and documentary

photography student. He is working on a project looking at the process of becoming an Anglo European

student, telling the story through images and texts. He has photographed parents, teachers, students and ex-

students to capture the unique educational experience that we offer. He also photographed David Barrs,

Headteacher. Adem studied at the school between 2008 and 2015 and said: “I felt a real sense of the Anglo

Family that we all hear about so much. One of the most important aspects of the story is the students who are

currently being educated with the school’s values. Aesthetically, the story is conducted with environmental

portraits, which aim to show individuals at different stages of the journey in the places they find themselves

currently. So for instance, an image of students

in a class learning a language, represents what

the school has to offer”. Adem went on to say

“The story is academic at this point, but the

nature of my course and work aims to give

coverage to stories that we feel need to be told,

and this is exactly the case for the Anglo

European’s story. It is a story that I would love

to share.”

We entered 103 students across Years 8-10 into the Junior Biology

Challenge run by the Society of Biology. The challenge consisted of the

students completing at least one of the two 25 minute papers based on

general biology courses. As well as knowing the course material they

were also be rewarded for demonstrating an increased knowledge of the

subject through wider reading, watching natural history programmes,

being aware of the news media for items of biological interest and for

their general awareness of our natural animal and plant life. All our

students performed outstandingly, but a special mention needs to go to

Nojus Visneveckas 10S for achieving the gold award.

He was presented with his certificate by Mrs Gee.

Meet our new Head Boy, Head Girl and Deputies:

Head Boy, Abdul Sessay

Hi, I am Abdul! I joined Anglo in Year 7 and have been on an exchange or visit every year. I

am taking the AIB course and I am studying English Literature, Drama, French and

Philosophy. My favourite subject is definitely Drama. My favourite thing is probably Haribo's

- as long as it is not Super Mix. Super Mix is probably my least favourite thing.

Head Girl, Sophie Meikle

Hi guys! I’m Sophie Meikle, I’ve been studying at the Anglo European since Year 7, before

that I lived in India. I’m an AIB student and I take Drama, English, Sociology and Italian.

I’m very excited to be your elected Head Girl. Feel free to talk to me about what you want

from the school and hopefully we can do great things together!

Deputy Head Boy, Brady Asumang

Hi, I’m Brady. I’ve been at Anglo since Year 7 and I’m studying Maths, Physics, Sociology

and Drama at A level. I hope to work closely with Anglo Council and Student Executive, the

school already has in place, to improve general school life for everybody. I’m always

available for a talk about new ideas and policies. See me, stop me!

Deputy Head Girl, Esther Itieimoh

Hello everyone, I’m Esther, I would like to thank all who voted for me and I will try my

absolute best to do as much for this school as I can.

Year 9 Course Counselling:

your GCSE preferences for next year. I am happy to

confirm that all students have been assigned their

preferences apart from the very few students that

have already had discussions with me in March and

April. Students can now look forward to starting

their courses in September and prepare accordingly.

Mr Seager, Deputy Headteacher

Fosters will be

coming into school

on:

Monday 14th May

12.15-2.15pm.

Please could we also

remind you that we

hold a stock of

“nearly new” uniform

which will also be

available on 14th

May. If you have

anything you could

donate we would

really appreciate it.

A word from the Sixth Form: As the Upper Sixth enter their last few weeks before

their examinations and the Lower Sixth move towards

their mock examinations, I just wanted to once again

highlight the need, as I did in our last assembly, to

make sure that you are looking after both your

physical and mental health and developing good

habits. It is not only the quality of your revision that

will have a significant impact on the results of your

exams, but also how well you look after yourself in

the run up to them and during the exam season.

Therefore, can I urge you to look at the Powerpoint

that I sent you during the week, which has a particular

emphasis on diet, relationships and sleep. These are

three key areas to get right to make sure that all your

hard work on revision pays off. Make sure that you

contact us if you need any help regarding this element

of your studies, and please remember to keep an eye

out for 'family' members amongst your peer group

who may be struggling.

Mr Newton, Director of Sixth Form
