Dear Parents and Friends of skipton Girls’ High school,

the spring term, as ever, has been action-packed! thank you to all parents, businesses and organisations for providing support for our New Build. the wolfson Foundation visited us on thursday 12th March to assess our provision for STEM Education in light of our grant application. the assessor left ‘highly impressed’ and felt the school provides every opportunity for students to experience a broad and balanced education for all.

It was great to see a packed hall at our Year 8 GCse Options evening on Monday 23rd February and feedback has been extremely positive. the evening was hugely supported by parents and students and provided an opportunity to speak to subject teachers to ensure that the right decisions are made over the next three years.

recent Highlights:

• Congratulations to our Year 11 Girls who, last week, attended the Big Bang National Final in Birmingham. they were highly successful in achieving the Crest prize for Communication and Context.

• well done to all students and staff – we heard last week that we have received an ssAt educational Outcomes award for exceptional progress. the award is to recognise the achievement of being in the top 20% of schools nationally for value-added progress in 2014.

• thank you to everyone who supported Comic Relief on Friday 13th March. lots of red Noses were bought and every shade of red was worn by our students. we raised an impressive £536.89 throughout the day.

looking Forward:

• we look forward to welcoming our new Deputy Head - Mrs Andrea Wade. Mrs wade is an experienced Deputy Head currently working at Park High school in Colne; she is also an Old Girl of the school. we send a sincere thank you to Mr Chris Dickinson who has served as our Interim Deputy Head for the last two terms and wish him every success in his future endeavours.

• GCse, As and A-level examinations (8th May 2015 - 22nd June 2015): as we approach this crucial time in the academic year the whole school community comes together to support our young women. Our Careers Advisor: Mrs C Crowther is on hand every tuesday and wednesday to offer high quality information, advice and guidance – she is a wonderful listener with many years of experience supporting students with their next steps. to book an appointment with her either sign up on the board outside student services or contact Mrs Simmonite: Student Services Manager.

• In addition, look out for workshops to support parents led by our Maths and English Learning Directors: Miss V Fox and Mr L Carne and their teams.

• Enrichment Week (29th June – 3rd July 2015). All our exciting plans are now finalised and students allocated places. we have endeavoured to plan a wealth of experiences which cover a wide range of social, cultural and moral learning activities.

• we are extremely grateful to our Old Girls’ Guild who will be supporting all activities that take place at school for students who are unable to go on an enrichment activity. These activities will be led by me and will be inspired by the theme: ‘Giving back to our local Community’. Students need to be prepared to get their hands dirty and join in as part of a community team.

Our specific whole school focus after half term will be on developing our Vertical tutor experience and conduct around school and the community. Taking pride in learning is paramount if our young women are to achieve at the highest levels. As parents and carers we appreciate your support in supporting your daughter to look smart, arrive on time for School and be fully equipped with the tools and resources for learning.

I wish all students and families an enjoyable easter holiday and look forward to welcoming you back to sGHs on Monday 13th April.

Mrs J Plews Headteacher

what’s better than the sun on a March day in Yorkshire, nearly the end of winter with spring on the doorstep? No sun, actually. that was the verdict of many who found the March solar eclipse picture perfect. the clouds parted just in time to reveal the eclipse taking place and it was clearly seen from our school grounds. Please read our Astronomy Department’s account along with their fantastic pictures.

Another cosmological event which happened approx. 15 billion years ago was the creation of our universe. speaking of a ‘Big Bang’ closer to earth was the National final of the science and engineering competition held in Birmingham where our girls were awarded a prestigious award. see their article to appreciate what was awarded and just how well our girls did in the face of UK-wide competition.

we remain close partners with rolls royce amongst other high profile companies and were grateful to the company for sending their female apprentices to work with our girls on an outward-bound leadership challenge in Aberdovey wales. A great read with wonderful pictures, showing how our girls braved the elements whilst developing their confidence and leadership skills.

Always a pleasure to welcome guests, it was with great delight we received visitors from spain last week. twelve very excited spanish students arrived at skipton Girls’ to meet their english exchange partners. After enthusiastically communicating for a few weeks through social media, they were delighted to meet in person.

talking of reaching out, please read how our recently delivered, highly successful ‘Immersion Day’ offered twelve pupils from Upper wharfedale school a taster of life in our sixth Form. Our visitors took part in a variety of activities including working collaboratively with our students completing amongst other activities a bridge-building challenge.

well done to our Post 16 students who have beaten all-comers in the Young enterprise Company Programme to win the Craven Young enterprise Company of the Year. Judges commented upon how enthralled they had been with the innovation, professionalism and enthusiasm that the students displayed. ‘My Guardian Angel’ were honoured to pick up a number of awards. read the fascinating article detailing their remarkable achievements to date.

Always thrilling when they perform, the Young shakespeare Company came to skipton Girls’ High school to provide our Year 8s with a special performance of Macbeth. Opening the show with a workshop, the company wowed the Year eight audience with their acting skills and seamless performance, teaching our Year 8s a thing or two about acting and turning the most perplexed students into ardent professionals who were allowed to share Macbeth’s world of treason, trickery and trouble.

speaking of acting out drama, no one can have missed the start of the United Kingdom’s General election campaign which is set to reach fever pitch over the coming weeks. with this in mind and as part of our commitment to teach our youngsters important British Values of respect, tolerance and democracy we are to hold a mock election in school with every Year group registering to take part.

each day a group of Year 11s represent the four main parties contesting in the election and have been presenting their policies to each Year group and the whole school community. we will go to the polls to vote on Friday 27th March. the result will be in the summer edition of our Newsletter and it will be interesting to see how our result compares with the actual result on May 7th 2015.

In conclusion, as we approach easter, which is recognised as the most important Christian Festival, may I take this opportunity to wish our multi-faith community a very happy and peaceful easter holiday.

easter 2015 editorial

Issue 52 // skipton Girls’ High school Newsletter //

twilight falls as eclipse happens …No, this isn’t promoting the latest box-set of Vampire fiction, rather it heralded the end of National science week where a partial solar eclipse took place across the UK …

How does a solar eclipse happen?

solar eclipses are an accident of nature. they are so spectacular because the Moon and the sun appear almost the same size. In reality the sun is much further away than the Moon, but much larger.

the Moon orbits the earth once a month, and eclipses happen if it lines up exactly with the earth and the sun. eclipses do not take place every month because the orbits of the Moon and earth are tilted at an angle. Most of the time, the line-up is not precise enough for an eclipse.

On average, there is a total solar eclipse visible somewhere about every 18 months. However, from any one location on earth, total eclipses take place on average only once in several hundred years!!!

What was it like?

In many parts of the country, the eclipse proved to be a total disappointment as people struggled to see anything under thick dark cloud. Crowds gathered at national monuments hoping for an amazing experience, but found in london there was nothing to see.

Here in skipton, the sky was not clear, yet there were breaks in the cloud, and a hazy sun was trying to break through … the sky was dimming, it was feeling colder, and there was an air of excitement and frustration, as students were not all able to see this phenomena.

Mr sheldon had brought his telescope into school and was using it backwards to project an image of the eclipse onto white card. Miss Belfield had another projection method – this time using Mrs Fisher’s make-up mirror to project the image down the length of the darkened hall and onto the back of the stage. some students were invited into the hall to experience this, and watched as the disc of the sun was slowly obscured by the Moon, which then retreated and everything returned to normal.

When’s the next eclipse?

Did you miss out this time? the next big partial eclipse for us in Yorkshire happens in 2026 … But if you want to have a total solar eclipse here in the UK, you are going to have to wait until 2090 … wherever you are, make sure you have a means of safely viewing any solar eclipse – never, ever, look at it directly – you risk permanent eye damage. speak to any member of the science department for more information. Happy observing!

skipton Girls Visit Douai in North France

Saturday and Sunday: Our journey to France went very smoothly on saturday, although one student managed to misplace first her purse and then her iPhone at two of our stops. we arrived on time in Douai, to be welcomed by our host families. sunday was spent with our French partners and families. the most popular destination was lille: we went there and came back by double-decker train! Others went to see a very emotional French film called ‘la famille Bélier’, which they enjoyed and managed to understand quite well. Finally some got very energetic and went to do a ropes course in the trees.

Monday: we visited les Bêtises de Cambrai sweet factory and watched how this famous French treat was made and we purchased some as presents for our folks back home. we then travelled to Arras and the wellington Quarry. we went underground and learnt how, during ww1, British and New Zealand soldiers used and extended the quarry to prepare secretly for the battle of Arras in April 1917. we also visited the Arras Memorial for British soldiers who died in ww1 and we helped Georgina to find the name of her great uncle, which was very moving.

Tuesday: we first took the coach to get to le Musée Minier de lewarde. there we were taken down 400 meters into the depths of the old mine and told the history of the place, en français!, by our tour guide. After lunch, we went to Notre dame de lorette French ww1 cemetery and visited the new ring of Memory where more than 580,000 names from both sides of the

war are etched onto the three-metre high walls of the memorial, arranged not by nationality or regiment but in alphabetical order to give a sense of the scale of the human suffering. walking around was a very moving and humbling experience. Finally we went on Canadian soil at Vimy ridge. One of the most interesting things to see at Vimy is Grange tunnel. this is a network of underground passages, which have been preserved and which our english-speaking Canadian guide took us through. we also saw how close the Canadian and German trenches were and learnt about the tactics used when preparing for the

April 1917 battle of Arras. we finished the day with a dinner at the school with our French partners (where a lot of pizzas were consumed) and a game of 10-pin bowling.

Wednesday: After eating a ‘croissant’ or a ‘pain au chocolat’ we were ready to climb the 195 steps of Douai’s famous belfry. Our tour guide took us all the way up and

told us about the history of this very ancient building dating from the 14th century,and played a tune on the set of 62 bells called a carillon and located at the top. she then brought us ‘back to earth’ only to take us to visit the famous Douai giants, or ‘gayants’ in the local dialect. we went to see them in their secret lodgings where they are prepared for their annual outing in July where the town is packed with people jostling to get a good view of the ‘kings’ of the city. Floats, costumed characters and bands accompany the cavalcade of figures that date back to the Middle Ages.


Thursday: Because of the January terrorist attacks in Paris, our trip there was cancelled for security reasons. so, instead of heading south to Paris, we headed north to Boulogne-sur-Mer to visit a fabulous sea Centre where we were invited to plunge into the heart of the oceans and explore the sea, in all its facets. Our favourites: the sea lions, the turtle and, cutest of all, the penguins. After our visit of the sea Centre we had a hearty lunch prepared by our partners’ families and were then invited to calculate our carbon footprint … and found out that we seriously need to think about the impact we have on climate

change! we also had the opportunity to walk along the beach, which was an added bonus (even if it was a rather cold February day!). we all had a great time including the A-level students who had been on work experience until then and had been looking forward to going to Paris and Montmartre, the setting for the film ‘Amélie’ that they are studying for their exams.

Friday: Friday morning was spent in lessons with or without our French partners. Many subjects were seen: German, Chemistry, Maths, French, spanish, Physics, History … and, come lunchtime, we were ravenous. At 12.45, Andy our driver was waiting for us outside the school. whilst he kindly loaded our luggage into the boot we said goodbye to our partners. For many of us it was only un ‘au revoir’ as we are planning to meet again in the summer!

thank you to Mrs Beaumont and Mrs thomas for organising this great experience for us. we recommend it all-heartedly!

red Nose Day took place on Friday 13th March this year, and to mark the occasion, girls and members of staff were allowed to come to school in non-uniform, the only rule was that you had to wear something red!

the surrounding images show that lots of people rose to the challenge. everybody was encouraged to make a donation to Comic relief, so we were able to raise a total of £536.89 to help good causes across Africa and in the UK.

thanks to everybody who took part and donated to this fantastic cause!


An earlier edition of the Newsletter told how this group of Year 11 students, who had been working on an innovative project involving new technology and Physics, had been invited to the Houses of Parliament to showcase their project where they received acclaim from MPs and Business leaders alike. they had been successful at the regional heats of the Big Bang science and engineering competition and have been working hard to complete their project before going to the finals. we pick up their story …

In June 2014, we began exploring the idea of allowing students to lead their own learning. we designed a product using modern technologies, such as 3D printers to prove how aerodynamics work in a real life situation. we produced our model on solidworks and used a 3D printer to print it out. Designing lesson resources with practical activities using the models, we designed a complete Physics lessons for the Year 7s.

As a key part of the learning process was empowering the students

themselves, we produced several different options to be chosen from on solidworks and let the students decide which would be the most aerodynamic, using their basic knowledge of forces. we led a lesson with them and gave them a questionnaire to evaluate the extent to which their understanding had improved as a result of their lesson. this enabled us to quantify the effectiveness of what we had implemented. we then expanded our project to primary schools to help them become more independent learners as well as better bridging the gap between primary and secondary schools.

the project allowed us to develop our leadership skills, develop our knowledge of physics and work with modern technology, as well as empowering these same skills in younger students. we went to water street Community Primary school and delivered our lesson to the students there. we used their feedback to make final improvements to our project. we also ran a competition for them to design their

own car, and then printed out the winner’s design.

we had already entered our project in the Big Bang science and engineering competition, the largest national science competition for young people in the UK. we were shortlisted to the final and went down to Birmingham for three days, where we showcased our project to judges. the show itself was amazing, and we had the chance to meet lots of students and learn about their projects. we were very happy to win one of the prizes, the Crest award for communication. we are also writing up our project for a gold Crest award.

Big Bang success - update

we were very happy to win one of the prizes, the Crest award for communication.


On Monday 9th March, we were privileged enough to host a visit from two very important people from Christian Aid. Organised through a link with Judy rogers, we met shelagh Fawcett (Christian Aid) and rodney Kaleke (Christian Aid partner). Before the visit we found out this about rodney:

“I am rodney Kaleke, a Christian age 36yrs old. Married to Magdalene with two lovely boys, Mesh and ethan. I am a graduate trained nurse/midwife and an M&e officer and have worked with the Kenya rural communities for over 9 years. I am currently working for transmara rural Development Program (trDP) a faith based org implementing health program in transmara sub County as a program Health coordinator”

rodney and shelagh began their visit by sampling lunch in the dinner hall. this was an experience for rodney – firstly, he was amazed at the different meal options on offer to our students, and secondly it was secondary school full of girls! After lunch they spoke to Mrs Brailsford’s Year 8C Geography class. this class have been studying population, so rodney was able to talk to them about what life is like in Kenya, and drew on his own life to make his points to the students. two students provided particularly good reviews of the visit:

“last lesson, a visitor from Kenya came in to speak to us about what life is like for him there, and the impact Christian Aid has had on him and the people in his town. the visitor’s name was rodney and he is part of a special tribe known as the Masai Mara. On top of this, he works as a midwife and has experienced first-hand the changes Christian Aid have made on the medical department in Kenya. rodney told us what life is like there and made us aware of some truly terrible facts.

One fact that particularly stuck with me was that families often wouldn’t name their children for a whole year after birth as there was no guarantee they would survive. thanks to Christian Aid, people are naming their children younger and younger. the truly shocking thing, I think, is how preventable most of the deaths were – cholera and many others could be prevented by simply having clean water to drink. Overall, I really enjoyed rodney’s visit and I found the things he had to tell us very interesting, despite them being shocking. I learnt lots and thought it was more valuable information to me since it came from a primary source.”

Grace Fox, 8C

“I found what rodney had to say about the hospital system in Kenya shocking. He told us about his village’s ambulance – a rarity – and the horrendous figures of children not living to 1 year old (and therefore only being named after their first birthday), and 40,000 women in Kenya dying each day from birth or pregnancy related problems which all were results of the inefficient hospital system. I think it’s brilliant how much everything has been improved, such as the parents naming their children in birth because they have confidence that they will live. Overall, I think the whole experience was very interesting and helpful to get a wider perspective for my population and migration topic.” Sophie Maloney, 8C

After speaking to Year 8, rodney and shelagh then visited Mrs Priory’s Year 9 religious studies lesson. In this lesson, they were able to speak in more detail about the work carried out by Christian Aid, as the students had previously been learning in lessons about the role of charity work in getting countries out of poverty. Again the students found this a valuable experience, due to hearing the information straight from the people that it benefits.

this was a visit that I will remember for some time.

Young enterprise: My Guardian Angel

sGHs sixth Formers have beaten all comers in the Young enterprise Company Programme to win the Craven Young enterprise Company of the Year.

On the night, the judges commented upon how impressed they had been with the innovation, professionalism and enthusiasm that the students had displayed.

My Guardian Angel were honoured to pick up the following awards:

• Craven Area Young enterprise Company of the Year

• Best Presentation Award

• Finance Award

the team explained in their presentation that the idea came from a headline in a local paper which really struck a chord.

“16 year old girl attacked outside settle train station at 9.15pm wednesday.” - Craven Herald

the teams presentation highlighted their main focus is safety and the protection of people worldwide, as they want to make a difference and not just be another

company that works purely for personal gain. As young women, they decided to create a product which would allow them and others to live life to the full without being compromised by safety.

the team explained that phones now have such a variety of functions the battery quickly runs out of charge, usually when we most need it, which could jeopardise personal safety.

to overcome this problem they have developed the ‘My Guardian Angel Phone Power Pack’ which will:

• re-charge your phone as soon as it’s connected.

• provide enough power to recharge your phone 2-3 times.

• be supplied in a black zipped purse which fits easily into your pocket or bag. there is even enough room to include your phone so everything you need is together.

the team will now head to York on April 29th 2015 to represent Craven in the North Yorkshire Finals.

Fairtrade Fortnight 2015 ran from 23rd February to 8th March, and the Fairtrade Friends continued to be as busy as ever working on promoting Fairtrade within the school and wider community.

During the first week of the fortnight, the Fairtrade Friends ran the school Gathering each morning, introducing the rest of the school to the theme of this year’s Fairtrade Fortnight as well as introducing the activities that would be taking place within school. these activities were very successful again. In tutor times, they ran a quiz titled “who’s the banana?” which proved challenging for some to guess the name of the teacher wearing the Fairtrade banana suit. At lunchtimes in the second week, the team ran a stall selling well liked treats, such as Divine chocolate bars and jelly beans – in fact it was so successful that stock began to run out on the third day! On the stall, a competition was run to name the banana, in order to win a Fairtrade easter egg and a purse from Crispy Couture. the winner of this competition was robyn Kemp in Year 8.

“teachers go bananas” made its return this year, with teachers kindly volunteering to wear the Fairtrade banana suits in school for a day, in return for donations. All the money raised from these activities is in the process of being counted, but we estimate that £400 has been raised. the Fairtrade Friends are then going to decide how to spend this money – in previous years we have bought a gift from www.goodgifts.org and it is always difficult deciding which to buy, so we will update you in the future.

During Fairtrade Fortnight, the Year 12 students who are part of the Fairtrade Friends visited water street Primary school. the reception children at water street had been asked to collect wrappers and packaging from Fairtrade

items at home, and bring them in to school. Our students spent two afternoons working alongside them to produce a Fairtrade junk model. As our Year 12s had made such a good impression, they were asked to return and help in a Year 4 class, with a lesson using the “cocoa box” from Craven Development education Centre, through which students learn about the process of producing chocolate from a cocoa bean, and the impact Fairtrade has upon this.

On thursday 19th March, the Year 10 students who are part of the Fairtrade Friends had their turn to be involved with the local community. In an event which involved 45 Year 5 and 6 students from 5 different primary schools, the Year 10s worked exceptionally well with our visitors and were excellent role models. the event was a role based activity which focused on a Kenyan soap opera called “Makutano Junction” (www.makutanojunction.org.uk) which the primary schools had been using in their lessons. the primary students were divided into teams with our Year 10s leading them. each team was assigned a role and in their roles they had to decide how money from Comic relief was to be spent in their community in order to develop. Presentations were given and a final decision made. the Year 10s worked with confidence leading their teams, offering advice on

their ideas and helping them develop their presentations.

It has been a pleasure to work with the Fairtrade Friends over the last year, and I hope that as I leave at easter to take maternity leave, they will continue the hard work within and outside the school community – they are a fantastic group of students to work with!

shakespeare shook Up!

On thursday the 12th of March the Young shakespeare Company came to skipton Girls’ High school to show the Year eights a special performance of Macbeth, and to teach us a thing or two about acting.

Opening the show with a workshop, the company wowed the Year 8 audience with their acting skills and seamless fight scenes, which looked rather real (and rather painful). they demystified not only their actions, but also the play, turning the most perplexed students into ardent professionals who were allowed to share Macbeth’s world of treason, trickery and trouble. the Year eights were given ownership over the performance and even got the opportunity to direct! telling the actors how to behave during poignant scenes in the

play to see how the events unfolded, they stepped into the shoes of shakespeare himself!

the performance therefore not only made the play accessible but by bringing the girls right into the action, they were able to share the emotions of the characters and therefore get to know them more closely. None however became more enthralled in this world than Jess Dawson, who was given the character of Fleance to play. Before the curtain opened she was taken backstage to be prepped for her big break as Banquo’s son: “It was fun, they prepared me for it so I knew what I was doing, no pressure at all” and she gave an excellent performance, even managing to dodge the sprays of fake blood that

covered the lunch hall!

the experience will prove to be invaluable to the Year eight audience as they seek to unlock shakespeare’s famous plays, as well as being a memorable, action-packed and entertaining thursday period one!

Monday evening, 12 very tired but also terribly excited spanish students arrived at skipton Girls’ to meet their english exchange partner. No awkward first moments: our students have been intensely communicating for a few weeks now and they were delighted to meet at last.

this is the first year that the spanish Visit to Madrid for Year 9 has turned into an exchange and we are thrilled to host the spanish students and staff from Colegio Alameda de Osuna, a mixed school in Madrid. they have a busy week ahead of them: a trip to Haworth, a visit to skipton Castle, a full day in York, as well as two days with us in school to experience the life in a British school. the spanish students seem delighted to be part of a family and they are looking forward to spending the weekend with their partners, visiting the Yorkshire region and spending time with their new friends.

I’ve asked our students and their Spanish partner to give me their first impressions:

“It’s a lot of a fun and a new kind of experience. they do things differently, but we get used to it!”

“You laugh a lot but the best thing is that you make new friends”

“I love the atmosphere the spanish students bring to sGHs!”

“It helps a lot to communicate with them. It improves both our language skills and our pronunciation”

And what I believe summarise this experience for our girls:

“we can’t wAIt to go to spain ourselves to see everyone again!”

this wish will be granted in May, when our students get the opportunity to spend a week in Madrid.

Young engineers build bridges in technology competition

eighty students from schools in Craven and neighbouring areas built bridges with the world of engineering when they took part in the 2015 rotary technology tournament.

the rotary Clubs in the Dales Group recently held its tenth tournament for schools, at Gargrave Village Hall.

Nineteen teams from schools and colleges from Yorkshire Dales Area, from Otley in the east, Ilkley and skipton, to settle in the north, took part.

the sponsor, silsden-based Advanced Actuators ltd, provided the prizes for the top schools, and also the encouragement for schools and colleges to concentrate on all aspects of a career in engineering.

student teams are given a task with basic materials, provided such as card, drinking straws, string, and wood and fixing pins, these are provided with details of the project only 30 minutes prior to construction.

this year’s project involved construction of a bridge with fixed and opening spans capable of supporting a 1kg test

weight with a model barge able to go under the bridge and a model yacht sailing through the open bridge.

tournament Organiser, Arnie read, said: “the challenge combined a number of skills in a fun way. As well as design and technology skills, students have to call on innovation, communication, problem solving, risk taking, and creativity to achieve their goal.

“they also have to produce a design and construction portfolio to show how they arrived at the finished model.”

Over the past ten years, the technology tournaments organised by the rotary Clubs of Yorkshire have involved thousands of young people and more than 500 schools, academies and colleges as an established feature of the academic year.

1. Time management: Cramming causes anxiety, which lowers your ability to retain information. By creating a balanced study plan and schedule, you will be able to study each subject in its entirety and ultimately boost your exam performance. In addition, studying in 20-50 minute chunks and giving yourself 5-10 minutes in between is more beneficial than cramming. Distributing learning over time typically benefits long-term retention more than a short period.

2. Tailor your study to you: don’t just follow what your friends are doing. Use methods which suit your learning style and study at a time that suits you. research carried out by Dunn and Dunn explains the best times for learning fall under four categories:

• Morning Larks: 30% of the population learn best in the morning hours.

• Life after Lunch: 30% of the population learns best in the afternoon.

• Night Owls: 30% of the population learns best in the evening.

• Whenevs: 10% show no preference.

3. Say YES to cardio: science says that just 20 minutes of cardio can improve your memory. whether you’re dancing, jogging or busting a sweat by walking, exercise will increase your energy level and reduce the effects of stress. Very important!

4. Eat superfoods/antioxidants and stay hydrated: Boost your brain-power! research suggests that high-carb, high-fibre, slow-digesting foods like porridge are best. But what you eat a week in advance matters, too. A sample of students were tested on attention and thinking speed, then fed a five-day high-fat, low-carb diet heavy on meat, eggs, cheese and cream and tested again, their performance declined. the students who ate a balanced diet that included fruit and vegetables, however, held steady, says Cameron Holloway, a senior clinical researcher at the University of Oxford. when you study, your brain consumes glucose, so take a five-minute break every hour to let your body produce more fuel for your studying. eating a healthy snack is very beneficial and can make a significant difference.

5. Avoid the all-nighter: All-nighters impair reasoning and memory for as long as four days. As a result, you may receive lower grades. But that’s not all; you would then be forced to wake up earlier than expected–and that’s bad too. According to Dan taylor, director of a university’s sleep-and-health-research lab, this will interfere with rapid-eye movement (reM), which aids memory. so, get a good night’s sleep and expect to perform better in exams.

6. Stay clear of Social Media: According to psychologists, students who use social media whilst studying can lower exam results by up to 20%. so do yourself a favour turn off the internet, your phone, or find a quiet corner in the library, away from temptation.

OK, so everyone knows that exams are coming up. You know the clock is ticking and the

countdown is on. It can be a stressful time for students, parents, carers and families, so

knowing how to properly prepare is the key to avoiding stress and achieving your goals.

After all, “Proper Planning and Preparation Prevents Poor Performance” or the 6P’s!

so how do you survive, lower the stress levels and protect your sanity and wellbeing?

well, here are six proven methods that will keep you focused and better prepared for the

summer exams.

Geography is a subject that makes us ask questions of the world around us and helps us to understand the ways people engage and interact with their environments. And so it was at around 11 O’clock on the 3rd of March that I found myself along with 40 As Geography students asking the question of “Did it really have to be quite so cold for the Geography Fieldwork day”? Yes, as luck would have it, a biting cold wind was blowing at some speed across the fields surrounding the lovely small town of sedbergh.

the purpose of the day was to gain an increased understanding of how rivers alter as they travel downstream; in this case looking at a tributary of the river lune as it tumbles down the hillside from the top of Holme Knott, which today was wearing a coating of crisp, white snow. the students were armed with chains, ranging poles, measuring sticks, tape measures and intriguingly some dog biscuits. At various points down the river the students plunged in to collect their measurements of width, depth, wetted perimeter and bed-load size not to forget the purpose of the all-important dog biscuit; needed to measure the velocity the river was flowing at.

the students came well equipped for the conditions and further supplies of waterproofs were on hand if needed as well as a mini-bus to warm up in but I was really impressed with how the students conducted themselves. It was a day where gritted teeth and a really positive mental attitude were needed in order to get the tasks done and the girls rose to the challenge admirably. that is not to say however that we weren’t all glad of the warmth of a farm barn for lunch after collecting the data where a lot of hot soup

was drunk from the range of thermoses people had thought to bring.

As is now traditional we turned and headed for home but not until we had been to see the new born lambs in the barn (which was probably what most of the girls will remember of the day) but the girls got the data they needed and perhaps more importantly learnt that sometimes it is important to stick at something even if it is a bit of a challenge!

radio 2 ‘500 words’ competition

the creative and talented young students of skipton Girls’ High school have been showcasing their wonderful writing skills in the recent radio 2 competition, spearheaded by radio 2’s very own Chris evans. Our Year 8 students have overcome their bashful dispositions and have relished the opportunity to test their artistic mettle, entering into this national writing competition.

Indeed, there are students who have become short story experts, sending their work to be judged by librarians and english teachers across the country. students have also jumped at the chance to share their work with each other in a group reading session. Here, we enjoyed a range of creative pieces, from a slightly scary personification piece, featuring ‘the seven Deadly sins’, to a particularly imaginative Dystopian, futuristic narrative.

Mrs Fox and Ms Hassell were astounded at the level of innovation and creative talent in all students’ work. Indeed,

particular credit should be given to emily Aldous, emily Hawkins, Amy Johnson and Poppy stiles, Katie Johnson, Asha Howard-Birt and Jenny Farrer-Harris for their slightly ‘outside the box’ approach to the project. It takes a lot of nerve to read out your personal work in public, but the girls did admirably and have grown in confidence as a result.

we are proud to have among our student body many imaginative and competitive writers, some of whom will doubtless become the journalists and poets and authors of tomorrow. we would like to thank all our Year eight students who were involved in this event, as we await the good news from radio 2!

A long, 4 and a half hour journey led 5 Year 10 students to the Outward Bound Centre in Aberdovey; a small fishing town in wales. Here are their accounts of the week:

we first had a quick introduction by our course leader before splitting off into 2 smaller teams which were Bonington and McArthur. we were in teams of 8 and mixed up with 2 other schools from london and Coventry. the first few activities which we participated in explored the reasons why we were passionate about steM subjects and what we wanted to achieve from the week. we then moved onto ice breakers such as the alpha plank, crossing the plank and the name game which enabled us to bond as a team. to finish off we went for a jog and dip, where we went for a quick run before going into the sea - Bonington even managed to do it twice! After a quick tour of the center, we then packed and prepared for the expedition that lay ahead of us.

During our trip, we went on a one night expedition to a log cabin. On the first day of our expedition we had to climb up a huge mountain, walk down really steep hills and traipse through deforested land as well as crossing a muddy marsh. On the first day when we were eating our lunch on top of the mountain, we were amazed by the American jets flying through the valleys; a beautiful experience! After a long, tiring 7k walk, we reached the log cabin where we chopped wood to start a fire and ate our meal out of a bag.

After a cold night in the log cabin, we packed our bags and cleaned the cabin ready for our next day of walking. During our walk we had to work as a team to cover tough ground. One of our solutions to descending down a steep muddy slope was to create a human chain by linking arms.

At one point we thought we were lost, but supporting each other as a team, our map reading skills proved successful! when we approached a road we had to get the two hi-vis jackets out to keep us safe and noticeable. After a long, exhausting walk we finally reached the mini-bus for our drive back to the centre.

After waking up bright and early, we packed our suitcases for our departure. we then had to check that all our equipment was returned and in the same condition that it

was when we received it. we then faced our final challenge as a team, which involved 4 people at a time climbing up a telegraph pole and then climbing on to a small platform on top before leaving trust in each other to lean outwards and jump down.

At the end, it was time for us to reflect on the week which we had, and what we had gained from the experience, which for

many of us was a sense of achievement, an increase in confidence, a more open mind set and a more positive take on the challenges which we tackle. teamwork and leadership were also fundamental skills which we felt had developed, as well as new friends which will stay with us for life. It was then time after this to have a final lunch and then sadly say our final goodbyes to each other before the long journey home. we all feel very grateful to have been lucky enough to have had this fantastic opportunity.

On wednesday the Year 7 A and B netball teams went to the Harrogate and Craven tournament at Ashville College. the A team all played well together and put up a good fight to win all their games. Although the other teams were extremely good and overall they drew one match against King James school and lost two matches one against ripon Grammar school and another against Queen ethelburga’s College. Unfortunately because they had lost two matches they didn’t get through to the semi final, however the girls gained lots of experience playing top quality schools which are not in the Bradford league.

the B team did really well and achieved 3rd place in the tournament. In their first match they played King James and beat them 2-1. they then moved on to play rossett and lost 2-3. this was a really tough match and the girls played extremely well, only one goal in it was a massive

achievement as rossett came 2nd in the tournament. the next match we played was against ripon Grammar school and beat them 5-0. they then played their final qualifying match against Queen ethelburga’s College and beat them 2-0. this meant they were through to the semi-finals where they played Harogate Grammar school and unfortunately lost to them 2-0 after great resilience. they then played in the third/forth play offs. It was against King Fishers and they beat them 4-2 meaning that they came 3rd in the tournament of 10 teams. this is exceptional as it was the first time the girls had played together and for some of the girls the first time they had played in a competitive Netball tournament.

well done to all girls that played.

saxophone Masterclass

On sunday 8th March, 4 music students (2 from Year 12 and 2 from Year 10) had the very exciting opportunity to travel to shrewsbury school to participate in a saxophone workshop lead by two of the country’s most famous saxophonists, rob Buckland and Andy scott.

Andy is the tenor saxophonist and a founder member of the internationally acclaimed and multi prizewinning Apollo saxophone Quartet, touring internationally, recording for Decca/Argo, Black Box, BMG and Quartz, and broadcasting regularly for BBC radio. the ensemble has made a highly significant contribution to the contemporary saxophone quartet repertoire by commissioning and premiering over 100 works from established composers. Formed at the royal Northern College of Music in 1985, the quartet recently achieved its first 25 years, celebrating with a new commission, CD and tour.

robert is internationally acclaimed as one of the most distinctive and versatile saxophonists of his generation. Appearing as concerto and recital soloist, with his equivox trio (with pianist Peter lawson and percussionist simone rebello), and with the Apollo saxophone Quartet, rob performs throughout the UK, europe and Japan.

the workshop involved playing in a large ensemble with other young people which we found encouraging and improved our sight reading and ensemble playing skills. rebecca Howlett in Year 12 took part in a solo Masterclass with Andy, which provided valuable feedback while the Quartet - elspeth Adamson, rebecca Howlett, eleanor Hydleman and Abigail Pascoe - took part in an ensemble Masterclass performing a piece they had been preparing. this was a daunting but rewarding experience and they received some very useful feedback from both rob and Andy.

Immersion Day

we have recently delivered a highly successful ‘Immersion Day’ which offered twelve Year 10 pupils from Upper wharfedale school as taster of life in the sixth Form at skipton Girls’ High school.

the pupils took part in a variety of activities including:

• working collaboratively with skipton Girls’ High school students to complete a bridge building challenge.

• A speed-dating exercise where the pupils had the opportunity to meet past Aireville school pupils, now attending skipton Girls’ High school and ask questions about life and learning at skipton Girls’ High school sixth Form.

• At lunch time the pupils visited the sixth Form Centre which tickled the pupils’ taste buds with a range of delicious hot meals and desserts.

• Visiting a wide range of A-level lessons.

Feedback has been overwhelmingly positive and many pupils have said that not only did they enjoy the day but they now consider skipton Girls’ High school to be their first choice for Post 16 education.


team Maths Challenge

A big well done to Fiona Boulton, Milly Middleton, sarah Gleghorn and tiegan Adam who represented the school at the UK team Maths Challenge regional finals at Bradford Grammar school on tuesday 17th March. the girls had great fun taking part in various challenges throughout the day and were a credit to the school.

Key stage three Collaborative Project

Our Key stage three students have been involved in a project investigating different approaches to the way they and their teachers monitor, and engage in feedback about, their progress.

the strategies are currently being piloted in Art, Biology, english and Mathematics, with students in Years 7 and 8 working with Miss Cassidy, Mrs Black, Miss Unsworth and Mrs tutty.

two of the Year 8 Biology students have already discussed the project with Mr Corrall from the specialist schools and Academies trust, and we expect all of the students to continue to play a key role in shaping developments in teaching and learning in Key stage three during the summer term.

the Great Big Dance Off

On the 26th February 14 girls from Year 7- 11 went to compete in the Northern heats of the Great Big Dance Off. the girls had already made it through the qualifying stages with their dance on war. the girls had choreographed the dance between themselves to mark the 100th anniversary of ww1. the dance told the story of the soldiers leaving loved ones for battle and then the tragic ending where some soldiers returned home and others didn’t.

the girls travelled to leeds town Hall where they spent the afternoon rehearsing and preparing their hair and costumes for the show. At 4pm

the show started and the girls waited anxiously back stage for their call. the girls danced extremely well, the best they had ever done it, but unfortunately didn’t get through to the next stage of the competition. It was the first time sGHs had entered the competition and we got to see exactly what it entailed ready to compete next year. well done to all girls involved.

Year 12 Oxbridge Conference

On the 17th March 2015 an educational visit for Year 12 was made to the annual Oxbridge Conference at Haydock Park racecourse.

the conference has been designed to provide up-to-date information on the application and admissions procedure at both institutions as well as providing an insight into student life.

the conference covered

• Courses available at Oxford and Cambridge.

• Applying to Oxford and Cambridge.

• student life.

• student finance and careers.

• Interview tips.

the day allowed the students the opportunity to speak with members of these two universities, both lecturers, advisors and students, and so understand further about the academic and extra-curricular sides of these institutions of higher education. Numerous courses were explained throughout the day, from Medicine and sciences to engineering, and from law courses to Modern and Medieval languages and linguistics. there was also a lecture on the importance of writing a competitive application for entry into university.

the day was certainly a success with the attending students gaining expertise into the courses offered as well as knowledge for applying for university.


world Cinema Club

On a wednesday and thursday lunch, you will see girls go down to Chalet 8, eager to get inside and settle down for food and a fantastic foreign film. By 12.15, they are grouped around the tables, ready and waiting for the film to start, chattering excitedly.

Over the past few weeks, we have watched four films, all of them outstanding. On the first week, we watched ‘le Petit Nicholas’, a comical story of a boy who detests the idea of having an annoying little baby around the house, but by the end, he is desperate!

the second film was ‘Micmacs’, a peculiar film about misfits with their own special stories. A man who receives a bullet to the head wants revenge on those who killed his father with a landmine. the result is the finding of a group of misfits who live in a junkyard, and enlists their help. they form a ludicrous plan to turn the mine and ammunition manufacturers against each other - using strange devices and crazy costumes out of only junkyard materials - or as they say - second-hand gear! we especially liked this one from the sheer craziness!

the Missing lynx, or in spanish, ‘el lince Perdido’, is our unanimous favourite - a cartoon comedy about a clumsy lynx who must rescue his love from the grasp of an evil hunter. we loved the style of animation and the non-stop action in this exciting entertainment.

the final film we watched was the hilarious war-time film ‘la Grande Vadrouille’. when some english pilots crash-land in Nazi-occupied France, an amusing chain of events leads to a comical chase across the countryside with a funny painter, selfish conductor and even a wine-selling nun!

At the end of lunch children file out of Chalet 8 laughing and in seas of chatter about the previous film and what could happen next. Overall film club has been a blast so great thanks to Mrs Beaumont and Octavia Burnett (Year 12) who has organised to set up a film and supervise us each wednesday and thursday.

New steM Centre Design


LANGTRY-LANGTONARCHITECTS


Progress so far …

torpoint ltd are forging ahead as the main contractor for the new, state-of-the-art steM Building, overseen by langtry langton Architects.

Week 3: Excavation and foundation preparation.

Week 8 & 9: Concreting of foundations and new drains.

the main electrical supply to the school has been re-routed, and the site is making good progress with the digging out of levels and the new drainage from the back of the school diverted from where the new building is to be sited. the concrete pads and foundations are currently nearing completion. the building steel frame will be arriving week Commencing 30th March 2015 which will take approximately 3 weeks to put up and then followed by the first floor works.

Building works which involve joining the existing buildings will be done during holiday periods to minimise disruption and noise to the school. Progress can be seen through regular updates on our school website.

students throughout school will be working with engineers on the design and construction of the new build including sustainability. science students are currently looking at the difference of having a normal electricity supply compared

to having solar panels providing the electricity. Year 11 and A level engineering students are working with the mechanical and electrical engineers from energy Unique to look at their engineering roles and what they consist of including regulations they have to follow and how they decide on the best design for the site and project. they are also working with the Architects (langtry langton).

the new learning zones will provide larger spaces which the school needs in all subjects and an improved learning environment. the two new practical learning zones will be fitted with waldner wing systems which are at high level and allow the spaces to be adaptable and multi-functional. the Ground Floor will also have a central breakout space. students will be involved in the selection of the internal decor.

My name’s liam David Hopley, and for the past ten months, I’ve been tasked with producing graphic products for sGHs and Northern lights tsA. One of the roles that this has included is the development of the school Newsletter, particularly this academic year. I really hope that you’ve found this edition enlightening, and that you appreciate the thought that has gone into its layout.

I must admit that taking up a role at sGHs has taken a bit of getting used to, especially since, up until the summer before last, I was studying at another single-sex Grammar school at the other end of Gargrave road! It’s been good though: offering both a chance to develop my design portfolio and to further evolve the school’s visual identity. the opportunity to work with the exciting new entity that is Northern lights tsA has also been interesting.

so what does the future hold? rather scarily, I don’t have another job to go to as yet, but I’ll be looking for some part time work to keep me ‘in the black’ before I head off to University in December. that’s right, after a slightly-longer-than-traditional ‘Gap Year’, I’ve decided to give it

a go: my plan is to study Industrial Design (‘the design of everyday things’) and to hopefully find a place for myself in this really exciting industry.

the other thing about taking a bit of time before heading off to uni is that it will give me a chance to refine

the skills which will help me on this course: CAD/CAM and technical drawing. I’m

also hoping to build a bit of a ‘personal brand’ for myself in order to help with raising awareness of my work and to help me to begin a successful design career post-degree.

My one big regret is that I won’t be at sGHs as the new school website and

sites for Northern lights and the Northern lights sCItt ‘go live’, but I am genuinely

very optimistic about them, and look forward to exploring these new online presences. However, I’d like

to end this on a positive note: it’s been lovely to play a very small part in the day-to-day life of sGHs, and I hope that you’ve benefitted in some way from the projects which I have spent the last few months working on.

Year 13 Biology trip to Bradford University

earlier this term Mrs Katterfield, myself and twelve girls from the sixth Form attended a one day course in DNA technology at Bradford University.

the day provided a great opportunity for the girls to undertake practical work on DNA technology and a chance to use equipment normally only available to the university’s undergraduates.

the practical work was comprised of two parts. In the morning we prepared samples of DNA to undergo PCr (Polymerase Chain reaction) this automated device is designed to greatly increase the amount of DNA present in a sample. At a crime scene there might be tiny amounts of DNA present in a hair or a skin sample and by using PCr we can increase the amount for later forensic analysis.

the afternoon session involved taking our PCr samples and carrying out a further technique called Gel electrophoresis. At the end of this process all of our DNA fragments were separated into a DNA ‘fingerprint’. each person has a DNA fingerprint which is unique to them and so at a crime scene it allows the Police to identify the person who committed the offence (or alternatively to clear innocent individuals).

we all thoroughly enjoyed our day practising these highly skilled techniques. I would like to extend our thanks to Bradford University and in particular to Doctor Porter for providing us with this unique opportunity.
