Welcome to this last edition of The Courageous Hound for the 2017-18 Academic Year.

This year has been full of events, trips, awards, results, successes and most importantly achievement. On behalf

of all the staff I want to congratulate you all on what the pupils have achieved this year. Through continued

determination, boldness and courage we really are so impressed with every year group and what has been

accomplished. I also want to thank all of the staff, who work tirelessly to provide such a rich agenda for the pu-

pils and who each day put in 100% effort to ensure that each and every pupil has a rewarding and successful

journey through education at Bolingbroke Academy.

In the last fortnight we have celebrated the graduations of Years 7-10, it is, for me personally, so rewarding to

watch each child graduate through each year, from the tie ceremony on day one with us, through to the Sixth

Form. This year, with immense pride, we have seen our first Year 12 cohort flourish and grow in the last

stage of their journey with us and we look forward and ahead to them starting Year 13 in September.

A huge congratulations to pupils, staff, parents and carers who made our Sports Day so successful, it was a

brilliant day with some brilliant individual and team results - we now eagerly await the house points results on

Speech Day! Also a huge congratulations to all those who took part in and supported the Year 7 concert -

a true testament to the incredible talent of our musicians and such a beautiful setting - everyone was in awe.

It is sadly time for us to say farewell to a few members of staff who have chosen to start a new journey. With

best wishes and thanks we bid farewell to the following members of staff who are leaving to pursue a new path;

Mr Tshala who is going to a corporate computing programming role, Ms Tuckett who is fulfilling her dream to

be a Psychologist, Ms Oliver who is going into Project Management and Ms Wilson who is leaving to join

the Army. We also say farewell and wish all the very best to those who are leaving London; Ms Wadham who is

moving to South Africa, Ms Coyte who is moving to Newcastle, Mr Macleod who is returning to Scotland, Ms

Joseph who is returning to France, Mr Batchelor who leaves to teach internationally, Ms Wheeler who is moving

to Egypt to teach internationally and Mr Rowe who is returning to New Zealand to coach professional cricket.

We look forward to commencing our seventh year of Bolingbroke Academy and welcoming faces new and fa-

miliar. Until then I wish you all a very happy, healthy and relaxing summer break.

Con-graduations to the classes

of 2023 and 2024!

Wednesday 11th July saw Bolingbroke's first ever graduation ceremony for Year 7 and 8 pupils. The afternoon

was filled with pupils and parents recognising their successes outside of the classroom across the academic

year. Pupils were awarded a Pass, 2:1 or 1st Class graduation based

upon a number of achievements including learning an instrument,

taking part in a sports team and starring in plays.

The audience were treated to beautiful performances from Zoe

Grimsey (Year 8) on the clarinet, Mariam Akunjee (Year 7) on the

violin, Eliza Michel-Finch (Year 7) on the flute and Macy Philips (year

7) on the flute. These performances were the perfect opportunity for

the pupils to exhibit everything that they have learned this year in

Music lessons and show off their skills in front of very proud family

and friends.

In addition to musical performances there were wonderful speeches

from pupils about their memories of the year: Dani Hughes and

Evelyn Sai in Year 8 and Chloe Burrows and Regan Tahi in Year 7.

These speeches were not only engaging and entertaining, but clearly

showed what a journey the pupils have been on this year, with so

many memories to cherish.

Following the performances the pupils were invited on stage to

rapturous applause as they collected their certificates and officially

graduated as pupils of 2023 and 2024.

in each year group. In Year 7 this is awarded for Bravery and in Year 8 for Excellence.

YEAR 9 AND 10 GRADUATION

We were delighted to see so many

pupils and parents in attendance at

the KS4 Graduation events at the

end of this term. Our aim was to

mark all of the non-academic

achievements by our pupils to bal-

ance the academic awards given out

at Speech Day in September.

It was a huge task tallying pupils' con-

tributions to sports, drama, music,

DofE or volunteering, their attend-

ance, their effort score and

house points but it resulted in a

wonderfully positive celebration of pupil success.

It was also fantastic to have the Full and Half Colours awarded for excellence in sport by Ms

Bridges as well as our prestigious Greyhound badges for pupils meeting or exceeding their tar-

get grades in many subject areas. Other highlights included our amazing pupil speakers and per-

formers. It really set the tone for excellence amongst our cohorts.

It was incredible to see pupil's support of one another and we left feeling confident that they will

be assets to the Academy in Years 10 and 11. We wish them every success for next year and

look forward to celebrating further at Speech Day.

On Thursday 19th July, 30 Bolingbroke Academy pupils from Year 10 took the 9.30 train from Clapham Junction for

a fun day out in Brighton! We were all very excited, chatting and catching up with our friends, and I am pleased to

report we arrived safely with no recorded incidents!

On arrival at the seaside (an hour later) we split up into groups. My group went vintage clothes and jewellery shop-

ping in the Lanes with a few purchases on the way. Another group went straight to the pier to play on the machines

in the arcade and ate fish and chips! At some point in the day, each group took time to sit on the pebble beach and

enjoy the sun and calm of the sea. Later on, we all met and Miss Davidson who very kindly bought us all an ice-cream

or donut before we headed back to the station for the return journey home. A great day was had by all and we

Young musicians from Ark schools across England

banded together for the first ever Summer Sounds

Music Festival, celebrating music-making across the

network. The event took place at Ark Swift Primary

Academy, on the soon to be developed EdCity site in

West London, on Saturday 23 June 2018.

More than 650 pupils from 26 Ark

schools – ranging in age from year 2

to year 13 – took part in the festi-

val. The event brought together

local community members and fami-

lies in a unique one-day musical cel-

ebration showcasing the talents of

pupils across Ark Schools.

Music is an important part of the

core offer at Ark schools

and Summer

Sounds featured a wide range of per-

formances, workshops and master-

classes for students and audiences

alike. Attendees had the chance to

sing, play and dance along to music

from all around the world, and em-

brace creativity in all its forms.

Students collaborated with a team

of top musicians from around the

country and from all corners of the

music industry, encompassing inter-

national world music superstars, West End hit show performers, top choral conductors, singer-songwriters and

gospel musicians, as well as the Ark alumni community.

Music from all aspects of the curriculum has

been curated and the program included a

choir of 250 students, a Stomp percussion

workshop, African percussion and

dance, ukulele, hootenannies and a full orches-

tra of over 60 musicians from our primary

schools. The day ended with a celebratory

final outdoor carnival parade of 130 drum-

mers, brass and woodwind players led by a

performance group and festival partner,

Kinetika Bloco, inviting all audience members

to take part.

Thursday 12th July, St Barnabas Church, Battersea

Oh what a night! This year, again, we hosted a jam

packed event to showcase our incredible musical talent.

Following hours of practice, the pupils delivered a

sensational concert, hugely enjoyed by all.

Over 75 pupils from Bolingbroke took part, and the

team of musicians left the audience in no doubt that we

have some of the most talented individuals.

St Barnabas Church provided a beautiful setting and in

spite of the warm climes that we are experiencing,

everyone enjoyed the performance hugely; pupils, staff

and parents like.

The Jazz & Funk Band and Senior Band

wowed the audience, and really did lift

the roof off! It was so great to see and

hear so many of the audience tapping and

humming along to the tunes that our

pupils have lived and breathed in

rehearsals for so long.

We are so immensely proud of our

musicians, and so grateful to all those who

attended and, from feedback, so enjoyed

participating in the evening.

Anita Grant, Hannah O Sullivan’s mum, said “It was

wonderful to see so much diversity among the

pupils’ performances and also the increase in

numbers involved. You have a wonderful program that

seems to be bringing out the best in all the students.”

We raised over £500 which will go towards Music de-

partment resources and St Barnabas Church.

As part of our Duke of Edinburgh bronze award,

we had to take part in an expedition. We split into

small teams to combat the miles ahead. Equipped with sun cream and lots of snacks we set off on Fri-

day morning. It was a lovely day and great weather,

meaning we all came back with a tan.

The route itself wasn't too complicated, but with

only maps and compasses, we had to work hard to

keep on track. After hours of hiking, we reached

the campsite and set up tents. Unfortunately, my

team had only brought a small carton of tomato

sauce for our pasta which was pretty disgust-

ing. We went to bed that night tired and excited

for the day ahead.

We continued our expedition the next morning

after a breakfast of Belvita and porridge. After a

couple of detours, we reached the train station re-

lieved and exhausted. It was a great weekend and I

look forward to my silver expedition.

Duke of Edinburgh Expedition

The Duke of Edinburgh Expedi-

tion was like two days of a crazy

adventure.

It was tough, hot, funny,

frustrating, challenging and

rewarding. The timetable seemed

packed but it taught us to work

as a team and to depend on each

other for the skills we each had.

This really helped when we

arrived at camp in the evening.

We got our tent up and our

food sorted. We were all ready

to eat and go to bed… Wasn’t

the best night’s sleep I’ve ever had but it was an experience! On

the second day we finished the

challenge in good time. The

sense of achievement was great. I

never knew I was capable of

finishing an expedition but I now

feel more confident for the next

one!

On Friday 6th July, Bolingbroke Academy, Wandsworth hosted the annual London Rock Wrangle organised by Times

Tables Rock Stars, where over 50 schools from across Greater London competed in a huge Times Tables-Off.

The event saw over 150 students, aged between 10 - 12, compete in a series of heats and the grand final, to see who

would be crowned the Supreme Ultimate Rock Hero for Eternity at their Times Tables.

The winner, Ali Al-Bhadly from Addison Primary School in Hammersmith, answered an incredible 402 multiplication

questions correctly in 3 minutes. His prize was a helicopter flight over London for him and his team!

Mrs Victoria Hill of Bolingbroke Academy, said “Congratulations to Claudia, Marco, Devin and Mariam for repre-

senting Bolingbroke at the Rock Wrangle this year. Marco was our Bolingbroke Times Tables champion and narrowly

missed out on a place in the extremely competitive semi-finals. Bring on next year! “

Times Tables Rock Stars (www.ttrockstars.com) is the brainchild of Bruno Reddy, former Maths Teacher. It is a web

and app-based programme which schools and families use to help their children improve their times tables recall

speed and accuracy. TTRS, which uses a rock theme to engage the children, is now being used in more than 10,000

schools across the UK and in over 15 countries.

Bruno said “Rock Wrangles are a brilliant way to showcase the talents of the children in their times tables and to

make maths fun.” This is one of a series of 2018 Rock Wrangle events for schools hosted by Times Tables Rock Stars

across the UK.

To celebrate this year’s World Book Day, Bolingbroke

staff and sixth form kept tradition and once again

arrived to school dressed as their favourite book

characters. Students spent the day guessing who was

who, winning extra bonus points if they could name the

book a department had dressed as. Well done to

Phoebe Davies and Chloe Burrows who discovered the

identity of the most book characters!

3. Angie Thomas Author Visit

In March, a group of Bolingbroke Academy students along with Ms

Meddle travelled to Ark King Solomon Academy to meet with

American author Angie Thomas. The author’s debut book The Hate U

Give, which has since been awarded the Amnesty CILIP Honour award,

was the focus of what was an extremely inspiring event. The Hate U

Give is based on the Black Lives Matter movement and has been one of

the most popular books in our library this year.

4. International Women’s Day 2018

This year Bolingbroke Academy celebrated International Women’s Day by focusing

on the 100th year anniversary since many women gained the vote in the UK. To com-

memorate the centenary, the library encouraged students to imagine they were a suf-

fragette in 1918 petitioning for the right to vote and design a protest banner. Bella

Grimsey and Lucy Parker won for their team effort to create this catchy slogan.

6. Accelerated Leader Royal Wedding Street Party

In May, the top 25 Accelerated Reader quizzers at Bolingbroke

Academy were invited to a very special event in the library – a

royal themed street party inspired by Prince Harry and Meghan’s

Wedding! In a celebration of the excellent reading and quizzes

completed this academic year, the 25 students enjoyed an

afternoon of sweet treats alongside plenty of royal activities.

5. Pupil Librarian Training Day

This academic year also saw the appointment of the new Bolingbroke Academy Pupil Librarian team.

As part of their training, the pupil librarians journeyed to the Elm Green School to attend a workshop on what it

means to be a librarian. During the day they got the chance to meet children’s author Sally Nicholls who signed

their copies of her latest novel Things a Bright Girl Can Do.
