We were delighted that our resident Drama Teacher,

Grant Corr, undertook to write a bespoke play for Year

7 and 8 this year. Year 8 girls auditioned for the lead

parts and all of Year 7 were invited to participate in the choral

roles. It was therefore a ‘World Premier’, wonderfully directed

by Mr Corr as well. There were parallel worlds and of course,

the ‘Other Mother’. Our Year 10 girls acted as Technical Crew,

working the lighting, creating projections and costumes. The

button eyes were particularly eff ective in suggesting the other

world inhabitants. Katie Gambier’s Coraline was ably supported

by a tight ensemble of exciting character parts that made for a

very entertaining evening of theatre.

CORALINE - curious and creepy!

Gadesden Competitions Senior School

The Gadesden Drama Competition reached its 11 Year at

Blackheath High School Seniors. Again, this year, the

standard was extremely high and competition was fi erce

between the girls representing their respective Houses. We

were delighted that our resident LAMDA coach Kate Wilton

could judge the girls’ performances, bringing her expert eye to

the proceedings. She was impressed with all the entries in the

fi nal and found it very diffi cult to choose the winner as there

were many very worthy contenders.

However

after much

deliberation

she chose

Esther Akinyomi

from Year 7

as the overall

winner with

her beautifully

timed piece ‘TV

Spinechiller.’ Well

done!

Mrs Tyrrell

Junior School

Once again this year, all the girls in Years 3 to 6 became

playwrights and worked in House groups to write,

rehearse and perform their own plays in preparation

for the Junior Gadesden Competition.

The competition fi nal took place on 26th November when

four groups in each year group, one representing each house,

took to the stage in front of an audience and the judge, Mr

Grant Corr (Senior School Drama Teacher).

All of the plays were all highly amusing and original, so the

audience was in stitches throughout! The performances had

been carefully choreographed and rehearsed and the actors

delivered their lines with clarity and confi dence.

When all the plays had been performed, Mr Corr spoke

to every group about their performances, highlighting his

favourite aspects of each play. He was particularly impressed by

the original ideas and clever twists the girls had incorporated to

surprise the audience. In particular, he complemented the girls

on having developed characters so successfully.

Finally the winners of this year’s winners of the Gadesden

Trophy were announced: Martha, Eden, Mabel and Maisie from

Year 4 representing Meridian House.

Congratulations go to the winners and to all who took part to

make the event so entertaining and successful! Our thanks go

to Mr Corr for agreeing to judge the competition and for giving

the girls encouraging and constructive feedback. Mrs Bolton

Our little Angels Nursery

The nursery school girls performed their very fi rst

nativity in December. The girls told the story of the

nativity through song. Each class then performed a

special dance: NAM were angels and danced to the Sugarplum

Fairy; NFT were stars and danced to Fredrika Stahl’s Twinkle

Twinkle; and NPM were robins and danced to Rockin’ Robin.

We were delighted to see so many parents and grandparents

attend. It was a great performance by three and four year olds

and they showed tremendous confi dence. It was a wonderful

start to the Christmas festivities and Santa Claus was informed

of the girls’ excellent eff orts!

Year 1 and 2 Nativity The Christmas season brought us a very festive performance

by Key Stage 1 and EYFS as the Year 2 girls led a wonderful

Nativity entitled, ‘Angel Express’. A cast of very excited angel

reporters were preparing for the big day – the birth of Baby

Jesus. The story follows Mary and Joseph on their long journey

to Bethlehem and into a very special stable. They reported on

the arrival of some very wise men and told us of shepherds who

were paid a visit by the Angel Gabriel. The audience thoroughly

enjoyed an afternoon of song and dance, including beautiful

singing from Year 1 who sang ‘Big Star’ and the Reception

classes who put on an angelic dance routine. The girls looked

fabulous in their decorative costumes and their talent and

confi dence was clear for all to see.

The Junior Head Girl

Team have very much

enjoyed their first term

of service to the school and

have played key roles at many

of the term’s events as well

as regularly assisting teaching

staff during assemblies. They

have been practising their public

speaking skills addressing the

audience at the Harvest Festival

celebration and giving readings at

the wonderful Carol Concert in

December. They also impressed

prospective parents and

pupils at the open mornings,

explaining different aspects

of the school through a series

of interesting and informative

speeches, delivered with

confidence and poise.

We’ve had a very busy and rewarding term as the

new Head Girl Team. In addition to giving speeches,

attending meetings and helping to co-ordinate the

prefect teams, we also had the chance to represent the school at

the annual GDST Young Leaders’ Conference in October.

It was a great opportunity for us to network with other girls

from across the country, whilst learning invaluable public

speaking and team building skills. We’ve really enjoyed bridging

the gap between teachers and pupils, especially in such an

exciting year with a new head teacher and the prospect of major

building works.

What happens next……

The girls are currently studying for their final A level exams

and have been very excited to receive offers from their chosen

universities. The Head Girl team’s choice of Higher Education

and Career paths reflects the diverse range of subjects that

interest our girls and demonstrates how, at Blackheath High

School, we genuinely cherish individuality and inspire every girl to

achieve beyond her expectations.

TRANSITIONING

Parents are often surprised when they realise how many

transition initiatives are in place to ensure the move to

Year 7 is a smooth one. It is probably a measure of the

value and enjoyment derived from the events themselves that

the transition benefi ts are sometimes not immediately obvious

but they are certainly there!

From as young as Nursery, our girls are used to seeing our

Sixth Formers helping them as Minibus supervisors and After

School Club assistants. They soon learn that the girls in the

Senior School are not at all scary, but kind and very good fun.

The girls look forward to the assemblies that the Senior School

girls come down to present to us. They have enjoyed musical

performances, presentations from the Head Girl Team and a

lovely Pantomime in French by some talented Year 7 linguists,

to name but a few events this year. One of the highlights of

the year for us is when the whole school joins together for

an afternoon of home-grown entertainment in the theatre at

Wemyss Road.

The girls become used to other familiar faces from Vanbrugh

Park. They all have the benefi t of seeing Mrs Chandler-

Thompson at our weekly ‘Stars Assembly’ and during class

assemblies, while the older girls in Key Stage 2 are taught

by specialist Science, DT and Latin teachers from the Senior

School. There is excellent continuity in the PE department

too with Mrs Hallett teaching girls at both sites, so there are

many familiar and friendly faces that the girls recognise when

reaching the Senior School.

Our Year 6s go to VP once a week for lessons but there are

plenty of opportunities for the girls to visit the Senior School

building before they reach the very top of the Junior School.

Years 3 and 4 enjoy cookery sessions in the wonderful kitchen

suite. There are also special days when the girls team up for

Smoothing the transition into Senior SchoolPreparing the path to Senior School

with older year groups at Vanbrugh Park; ‘Maths Morning’ for Years

5 and 7 and ‘Architecture Day’ for Year 6 and 9 girls, for example.

Year 4s also collaborate with Senior girls for an annual Design

Technology exhibition which will take place at the Rangers’ House,

Greenwich this summer. In March, the whole of Year 5 thoroughly

enjoy taking part in the Senior School drama production at

Greenwich Theatre - this year they are delighted to be taking

part in a performance of ‘Beauty and the Beast’. Building on the

success of last year’s pilot event, this year, girls from both sites

have worked together on an exciting, high profi le venture with the

United Nations, built around International Women’s Day.

There are also many cross-key stage sporting events such as the

Year 6 and 7 Inter-house Netball tournament and the KS2 and Year

7 cross country.

We never like to miss an opportunity to mingle Junior and Senior

School girls, so, for us, the redevelopment of the Wemyss Road

kitchen will be a chance to introduce the girls in Years 4 to 6 to the

delights of the Vanbrugh Park dining room as they will be taken

over once a week for lunch.

For parents, we run an evening presentation giving details about

the Senior School provision and an opportunity to meet staff . Any

queries about the transfer to Seniors can be made at any time, to

Mrs Nichols our Admissions Offi cer for the Senior School and there

is a wealth of information available on our website.

By the time the girls reach Year 6, they are comfortable enough

with both the Senior School buildings and the teachers there, to

see it as an exciting move up, not a frightening move away.

We realise how important it is for our pupils to feel

confi dent and secure when starting the new phase of

their school career at the Senior School in Year 7. We

endeavour to ensure that all new pupils are given time to meet and

build friendships, particularly during the fi rst term and even before

the start of the school year, at our Summer School.

Within the fi rst six weeks of their new school life, our Year 7s

are very happy, busy and stimulated with a range of innovative

experiences and events that are especially designed to promote

self-awareness, confi dence, and resilience. These are all aspects

that help to develop the ‘whole’ person. These focused and

planned events are a fusing together of both academic and

personal experiences, that are designed to be inclusive for all girls

in Year 7 and help to foster sense of team work and comradeship

amongst the pupils.

Prior to the beginning of the academic year, girls embark

on the exciting transition into senior school with our fantastic

Summer School Programme in the last week of August (provisional

dates for this year’s summer school are Monday 24th August to

Thursday 27th August 2015). Activities over the four days will

include cake-making in our fantastic cooking suite, an art and

textiles project, sports activities, a picnic in Greenwich Park and

a cinema experience in our fabulous theatre. Whilst giving the

girls the opportunity to learn lots of new exciting skills, the main

emphasis will be on team work and relationship building through

The exciting move up to Senior School

practical activities to ensure that they feel happy and relaxed

when starting at the school in September. It is also a great

opportunity for the girls from our junior school to make new

friends with girls joining us from other schools.

The Year 7 Pastoral team of 3 Form Tutors led by a Head

of Section, also plan and create a special “Induction” day to

enable the girls to familiarise themselves with the school

buildings and, most importantly, to get to know their

Form Tutor and fellow classmates. This is an exciting day

which includes a range of fun team-building games and

activities, with many opportunities to make themselves feel

comfortable and familiar with their new surroundings and

with the expectations of secondary school life.

TRANSITIONING

“Blackheath High is so great at helping you settle in when you join year 7. As soon as you start there

is so much variety across lessons and clubs, you really look forward to going to school. Th e whole

experience is enjoyable and you will make so many good friends.” Maddie Halil

TRANSITIONING


“Th e whole of Year 7 went on an amazing bonding trip to PGL in Windmill Hill. We did loads; from

crawling around in tight spaces (tunnel trail) to fl ying in the sky on a giant swing! We bounced around in aeroball, and whizzed down the rope on zip wire. It was a brilliant experience and our teachers joined in too. Ms Watson was the fi rst teacher our instructor

had seen tackle the intrepid depths of the wormholes (tunnel trail) and everybody can confi rm that Mr

Parsons screamed “Aunty Claire!” as he plummeted the through the air on the giant swing! We had a

great time, ‘hooray for PGL’ it was EPIC!” Hannah Edwards

“PGL did not disappoint this year, with the girls eagerly climbing, swinging, abseiling and more all

weekend. Most importantly new friends were made and the girls bonded and integrated well setting them up for their busy academic year together”.

Mrs Tyrrell

Then, in September, all of Year 7 take part in a

residential weekend trip to the PGL adventure centre

at Windmill Hill. Girls conquer their fears and try out

a range of multi-sport activities run by fully qualifi ed

instructors that help them to overcome any self-

consciousness, build resilience and develop a sense of

team work and the determination to achieve. The girls

very much enjoy the social evening activities and build

friendships that are also consolidated through these

shared team experiences.

In November the girls plan their own “Tea Party

celebration” event for their parents. Our Year 7 pupils

perform to their guests and give talks that celebrate

their achievements within their fi rst half term at

Blackheath High. They also embark on a ‘school trip’ as

a whole year group. This day is usually fully devoted to

the investigation of Art and recently pupils have visited

both the Saatchi Gallery and National Portrait Gallery

as part of their induction into working as a year group

but also to learn in-depth research into a particular

curriculum area.

Mrs Tyrrell, Head of Year 7

BHS_12_rev3.indd 8 27/02/2015 14:07

Thinking Outside the Box Our bespoke academic enrichment courses – ‘Matrix of Knowledge’ and ‘Theory of Knowledge’Matrix of Knowledge The Matrix of Knowledge is a non-examined

‘history of ideas’ course, specially designed for

Year 11 students at Blackheath High, to challenge

them intellectually and extend their knowledge

beyond the examined curriculum.

Charting the development of western

civilisation from pre-history to the present day,

the course plots traditional historical periods

against key fi gures and events, and developments

in religion, philosophy, the arts, science and

politics. The aim is to highlight how these often

seemingly disparate subject areas interrelate and

impact upon the broader, evolving ideological

picture.

Completion of the course and

‘the Matrix’ enables students to

situate aspects of their fi ve years

of secondary education, and

consequent studies at A level, within

a broader historical, artistic and

intellectual context, familiarising

students with core ideas that

arguably defi ne western intellectual

development.

The fi rst half term explores the history of

medicine, culminating in a busy trip around

Bloomsbury to visit: The Wellcome

Collection; The Enlightenment Gallery at

the British Museum; The Sir John Soane

Museum; and the Hunterian Gallery and

Museum of Surgery at the Royal College

of Surgeons, after which lectures, debate,

student presentations and documentaries

follow a broader linear chronology

including early Christianity, Islamic Spain,

the Renaissance, Reformation and High

Modernism to name but a few. The absence

of an external examination

helps facilitate spontaneity, risk

taking, breadth and limitless

intellectual scope to really

stretch our students. With a

nod to Julian Barnes’ ‘History

of the World’, the reference

to ‘25½ lessons’ is very much

an acknowledgement of how

ambitious an undertaking the

course is!

Theory of KnowledgeIn the Sixth Form we off er another non-examined

course, ‘Theory of Knowledge’, which follows

on from Matrix of Knowledge studied in Year 11

sharing the spirit of learning purely for sake of

satisfying intellectual curiosity. Based upon the

core and most distinctive component of the IB

Diploma, this course encourages and develops

the ability of students to question ‘knowledge’

and ‘truth’ by refl ecting critically on the

methodological underpinnings of diff erent subject

areas (science, religion, the

arts etc.) and to consider the

role and nature of knowledge

in their own culture, and the

cultures of others in the wider

world.

Whilst the course is

philosophical in nature (relating

to the fi eld of epistemology) its

chief concern is the application

of critical thinking skills to current cultural,

political and scientifi c developments such as

stem cell research, voluntary euthanasia, ecology,

economics and religious radicalism, to name but

a few.

The course is academically demanding and

particularly benefi ts those students aiming for

Oxbridge and Russell Group universities where

interviews are likely to test a student’s capacity

for divergent and lateral thought, and awareness

of the underlying assumptions

upon which the applicant’s

chosen subject discipline is

based. It is of great credit to our

students that these courses are

so popular, given how busy they

are with examination courses

and extensive extra-curricular

activities.

Mr Parsons, Assistant Head


ENRICHMENT

“The Theory of Knowledge course revolves around the

study of epistemology – encouraging us to challenge what we

hold to be ‘knowledge’. The depth and breadth

of the course is engaging and thought-provoking, and enables

us to broaden our understanding of a variety of complex topics. In particular

this course has greatly developed my critical

and lateral thinking skills, which have been invaluable for university

interviews.” Annabel Sim

“‘I loved Matrix of Knowledge in Year 11 and I am enjoying Theory of Knowledge very much because it makes me think about things diff erently. It encourages me to deconstruct things that you know about civilisation and art, and look at again, but without unnecessary stuffi ness.” Elizabeth Isaac

Focusing on STEM

STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)

includes physical sciences, mathematics, statistics,

engineering, computing, medical and life sciences. It

can also include relevant managerial fi elds, manufacturing and

processing areas, as well as building and architecture. We believe

that teaching STEM and related subjects is important; it pervades

every aspect of our lives, and the future lives of our children, who

are growing up in a dynamic technological age.

Currently, a major skills shortage is predicted; by 2022 the

UK will need at least 1.82 million new engineering, science and

technology professionals to meet technological and scientifi c

advances and energy demands. There is an increasing need to

inspire many more young people to take up careers in these

key areas, which will pave the way for the UK’s future economic

development.

Dame Mary Archer, who graduated top of her year in

Chemistry at Oxford University, has recently been quoted in

a media interview about STEM careers “Going to a single-sex

school is quite a traditional route for women my age into science

because nobody said ‘You shouldn’t do that, dear’ - not until it is

too late anyway”

In her recent blog, ‘Why don’t girls believe in their

own brilliance?’ our Head, Mrs Chandler-Thompson, supports

the need to develop the brain, to adopt ‘can do’ thinking and to

change behaviours: “By helping our girls to understand neuro-

plasticity, and the power of application and practice, we are

providing them with the tools of future success.”

The Government’s ‘Your Life’ campaign http://yourlife.org.uk/

is a three-year campaign to ensure young adults in the UK have

the maths and science skills needed to succeed in the current

competitive global economy.

The GDST has signed up to the ‘Your Life’ campaign with a

series of supporting pledges. GDST schools buck the national

trend, with over 40% of our graduates going on to study Science,

Medicine, Maths and related subjects.

As a GDST school, Blackheath High actively supports the ‘Your

Life’ campaign by delivering a wide range of STEM-based projects

and co-curricular activities, as well as learning from inspirational

alumnae who are forging successful pathways into STEM careers.

Their learning is supported by state of the art equipment including

the use of iPads in lessons, 3D laser printers and other specialist

DT equipment.

Our STEM work and actvities include...

Nela Brown Visit

Blackheath High School was delighted to welcome Nela Brown to talk to students aged 12-15. Nela is a

sound artist, musician, designer, technologist and PhD researcher at the School of Electronic Engineering &

Computer Science at Queen Mary University London (QMUL).

Nela talked about her career to-date and was very inspiring. She showed some examples of her work,

including interactive installations with QMUL based G.Hack and sound design for a mobile phone app. She

also talked with students about their career aspirations and what they are doing currently to support these

goals. GCSE Computing students Maiya and Angele showed off the Python programs which they created

this year, expressing real enthusiasm for creative coding. Miss Dickinson, Head of Computing

Headstart and Inspire coursesHeadstart has been established for more than 16 years as a charitable trust, providing

hands-on STEM activities and engineering taster courses to encourage young people into

technology-based careers. These courses, for girls in Year 12, are held at top universities,

off ering the girls the opportunity to fi nd out more about the exciting career opportunities a

particular degree course might lead to.

The Inspire courses are aimed at Year 11 girls, off ering an opportunity for the girls to

learn new skills and get ahead in the Sixth Form and beyond. They are soft skills courses, set

against a science/technology project.

Mrs O’Hanlon, Head of Maths Faculty

And, by the time you read this article, we will also have celebrated Science Week with

themed visits and experiments, and participated in a United Nations project on International

Womens’ Day and interviewed several scientists for BBC News Report Day!

Formula 100 CompetitionThe Formula 100 Competition invites students to submit 30

second videos outlining what they would invent and why. “I

introduced this competition to the whole school in assembly

in January. It encourages the girls to use their imaginations to

think of something they would like to invent. Our girls are very

creative and I had an immediate response from several girls

ranging from year 7 to year 11 before I had even left the room!

Each girl is encouraged to make a short, 30 second, video

describing what she would like to invent and the prizes were

very exciting.” Mrs O’Hanlon, Head of Maths Faculty

Formula 1 ClubThe girls at Seniors meet at

F1 Club every Tuesday,

and have been very

successful, being

the only all-girl

Mrs Silvestros, Maths Teacher

“Formula 1 Club helps me apply quite a bit of the maths learnt in class into a real-life context. It is also really good fun as you get to enter competitions throughout the year, which spurs us on to work out strategies in order to get the fastest laps. Only two girls can be put forward for the fi nal so it can get very competitive!” Lara Atkinson (Year 9)


“I attended a Headstart course last year, specifi cally the ‘Girls Only Insight Into Engineering’ at the University of Salford, in order to gain an insight into

After completing

A-levels, Sarah went

straight on to study

Medicine at UCL,

achieving a first

class Honours in her

Intercalated BSc and

final MBBS exams. She

went on to complete

her junior doctor

training in a number

of London hospitals,

during which time

she made a decision

to specialise in

Oncology. She started

her specialist registrar (SPR) training in Medical Oncology at St

Bartholomew’s Hospital in 2003. She was awarded an MRC grant

to complete a PhD in breast cancer during her training, which she

successfully completed in 2010. Sarah most recently transferred

to Guys and St Thomas’ NHS Foundation Trust in March 2014, to

gain valuable experience working in another centre of excellence.

Sarah successfully completed her training in January 2015 and

was appointed a post CCT fellow at Guys and St Thomas’ Hospital

with a specialist interest in education. She was simultaneously

appointed as undergraduate lead in clinical skills development

for the Trust and oncology lead for undergraduate curriculum

development. Sarah is currently looking to apply for a consultant

position, hopefully in London, and is very keen to continue and

develop her education role alongside her clinical work. “My

interest in teaching and education has very much been influenced

by my time as a pupil at BHS, and the extensive opportunities I had

to lead and teach. I particularly remember organising the Science

Society and seeing the enjoyment of the other pupils when we ran

sessions on “Bubbles” and the “Science of the Flame”.

Sarah is married to Iain Soulsby, a local dentist, and they two

daughters, Charlotte (2 years) who is still at nursery, and Emily (6

years) who is in year two at Blackheath High Junior School. Both

Iain and Sarah are very active on the BHS Parents Association and

Sarah is also Vice-Chairman of our Old Girls’ Association.

“It is lovely to see that the atmosphere is still warm, friendly

and personal as well as supportive of individual development

and achievement. It has been fantastic to stay connected with

the school and watch Emily, and soon Charlotte to have the

opportunity to be part of such a wonderful school community”

says Sarah.

“My time at Blackheath High provided

me with the necessary skills, support

and confidence so that I was ready to

face the world after school. From the

very first time I entered and decided it

was the school for me, to the last time

I left, I enjoyed every minute and still

look back fondly! Blackheath High and

its teachers have a way of helping you

find your strengths and building on them.

Not to mention, friendships that stand

the test of time. The warm and nurturing

environment offers every opportunity it

can, so that when you take that first step

after school, you’re ready for what may

come your way. Looking back, I realise

how fortunate I am to have had such

a great start to my education and my

career.”

The Autumn Term is always incredibly busy for the

music department and this year seemed to be the

busiest ever!

We kick started with a series of ‘Taster Workshops’ and a

‘Taster Concert’ in September to help the Year 7s make

an informed choice on which instrument they would like

play as part of the Taster scheme. Before long, we were

performing at the Tea Time concert followed by the House

Music Competition. Exam entries lead us to the termly Exam

Concert followed quickly by Carol Singing at Lewisham

Shopping Centre to help raise funds for St Christopher’s

Hospice.

The Autumn Concert was a huge success with every

choir and ensemble in the senior school being given the

opportunity to perform. There was lots of percussion and

singing but the newly rebranded ‘Ukulele Orchestra of

Blackheath High School’ made a comeback appearance

under the leadership of one of our A Level Music students:

Philippa Jackson. After such a busy week, Chamber Choir

performed at Blackheath Centre for Singing’s Christmas

Concert at St Margaret’s Church, Lee. Year 11 made their

Christmas visit to Dowe House and entertained the residents

with a selection of carols with solo performances given

by Jemima Robinson, Nadia Neff ar and Maev Moriarty-

Smith. ‘Vocalise’ entertained guests before Prize Giving

with a selection of jolly carols before we heard the fantastic

performances by Dot Mundt-Leach, Helena Holder and Ellie

Delieu-Quinn in the main Prize Giving Ceremony. The week

rounded off with Rock Band and the staff Choir performing

in the fi nal assembly followed by the annual Christmas

Afternoon at St John’s Church.

Senior School House Music Competition

Music Round-Up

We were delighted to hold our annual House Music

Competition on 19th November 2014. The day

started with the Piano category and our adjudicator

worked tirelessly through to the afternoon when we fi nished

with the Guitar category. The number of entries had increased

this year and we were treated to over 60 performances in the

morning alone.

The winners from each category performed to the whole

school in the afternoon before each house delivered their

performances. The set song was ‘Rock Around the Clock’

and there was also an ‘own choice’ song. We saw some truly

inspiring performances and it was fantastic to see the hard

work that each house had put into rehearsing. The winner of

the house song was Paragon and Lizzie Ball, our adjudicator,

was impressed with the imagination each house had

demonstrated through their performances.

Overall Paragon House won the event and gained 100 house

points and a now proudly have their name engraved on both

the ‘House Song’ and ‘House Music Cup’.

The House Music Competition is now a fi rm fi xture in the

school calendar and I am looking forward to next year already.

Congratulations to everyone who took part.

Christmas Afternoon at St John’s Church T

he end of term Christmas Afternoon took place at

St John’s on Friday 19th December and it was an

opportunity for the whole school to come together

on the last day to sing a selection of carols and celebrate

Christmas. There was a selection of beautiful readings chosen

by Ms Chandler with each year group being represented

alongside the Head Girl, Deputy Head Girl, Dr Pascoe and Mrs

Chandler-Thompson. The congregation was treated to an

exciting performance by Year 7 Choir singing ‘White Christmas’,

and an a cappella arrangement of ‘Twelve or so Days of

Christmas’ by Vocalise alongside ‘Christmas Blessing’ and ‘O

Holy Night’ sung by Chamber Choir.

The afternoon was rounded off with ‘O Come all Ye Faithful’

sung by the whole school with the triumphant descants sung

by the sopranos from Chamber Choir.

Winning House ‘Paragon’ with Lizzi Ball

“I thoroughly enjoyed my day as adjudicator for this year’s house music competition and was extremely impressed with the student’s attitude and eff ort to take part and perform to the best of their ability. Th ere were some standout solo talents and it was also great to see good teamwork happening for the house group song category. I wish the girls all the best with their continued musical endeavours!“ Lizzie Ball, Professional Violinist (http://www.lizzieball.com/

The beginning of a new academic year brought with it some

new additions to the PE department in terms of both new

activities and additional coaches. In Key Stage 4 and 6th

form, Jane Evans has joined us to provide ‘Boxercise’, cardio and

toning classes to our Year 11, 12 and 13 students, plus Personal

Fitness training with the Sixth Form. The feedback from these

sessions has been really positive with the students appreciating the

personal guidance and goal setting. Sixth Form students are also

enjoying the new Self-Defence classes, with new coach Matthew.

Another addition to our programme is the introduction of a

Trampolining Academy run by Fabiana Flores. We have been very

fortunate to have Fabiana join our team of coaches; with her vast

experience at national and international level our trampolinists

really having benefi tted our budding trampolinists already. Both

Junior and Senior students have joined the club to train towards

the trials for spaces on the Greenwich team to compete at this

summer’s London Youth Games.

We have continued to develop our Hockey and Netball teams,

with them competing in a wide range of fi xtures throughout the

term. Our U14 netball squads entered the Kent County events with

skilful performances, narrowly missing getting through the next

round. This year we hope to continue coaching both squads and

entering them as the teams representing Greenwich in the summer

at Crystal Palace.

In the ‘Morning of Dance,’ Year 7 had the opportunity to sample;

Street, Irish and Contemporary Dance which culminated in the

girls performing in a ‘dance-off ’ at the end of the morning which

everyone agreed was superb fun.

Cross country continues to develop and we participated in the

fi rst round of the GAL league event. It was a rapid race with failing

light but our Year 9 team won their fi rst round and Year 7 and 8

came 3rd.

We also entered the Greenwich School Cross Country

Championships at Avery Hill during the autumn. Lara Atkinson won

the Year 9 race and our Year 8 team came 3rd and our Year 7 team

2nd, a great set of results for a fi rst attempt! Several individuals

were then invited to run for Greenwich on Saturday 15th November

in the London Youth Games over at Parliament Hill. Several of the

girls ran great times, given the tough and muddy course.

We’ll keep you updated with their progress over the Spring Term

2015.

Finally, we are delighted to announce that we are organising

the fi rst GDST key stage 3 netball tournament in March. Eighteen

GDST schools will be participating, with a total of forty-fi ve teams,

comprising over four hundred students! The event is taking place at

the imposing Condover Hall in Shropshire and we are very excited

that Stacey Francis from the English Netball Team will be joining us

to share her expertise and experiences with the girls. Look out for

a full feature in the next issue of HIGHlights.

The Junior PE department had a

busy start to the academic year

with girls in Years 3, 4, 5 and 6

participating in numerous sessions at

the fi eld and a programme of inter-

school matches.

We started the season by hosting our

annual Year 6 ‘Start of Season Netball

Tournament’ and, with ten schools

attending, it was a fantastic event. The

Year 6 squad played very well and set

themselves high standards for future

games. The girls have gone on to play

many league matches and look forward

to the “End of Season Tournament” which

will held at our fi eld site at the end of

February.

In October, our Year 5 and 6 Cross

Country Relay teams travelled to Merton

Court Prep. School for an event in

which each year group team raced

after the other to culminate generate

an overall team result. It was a fun and

exciting afternoon which saw our Year

5 team being placed 2nd overall and

the Year 6 team, gaining a respectable

3rd place. Following on with the Cross

Country theme, Year 3, 5 and 6 girls

then competed at Farrington’s School,

where the teams were placed 2nd,

1st and 3rd respectively. This included

some fantastic individual results with

Sienna Miles-Garrigues winning her race.

Congratulations must also go to our

Year 3 team who did

themselves proud in

their fi rst Inter-school

event. The fi nal Cross

Country event of the

term saw lots of girls

being placed in the

top 30 in The Tony

James Memorial Cross

Country held annually

at Bromley High School.

The autumn term also

included the Year 6 and

7 Inter-House Tournament, where the

girls worked across the year groups to

form mixed teams to compete against

other Houses. Paragon were outstanding

on the day and won the tournament,

being awarded points for their House.

Once again the Year 6, A team gave a

strong performance in the GDST Netball

Tournament in Northampton, narrowly

missing out on a place in the fi nal.

The weather was not kind last term

but we demonstrated our resilience and

played as much sport as was possible.

We are hoping for better weather this

term, especially as we are looking

forward to many events including:

the Mini Marathon, Inter-House

Cross Country tournament, Hockey

Tournaments and many more Netball

matches.

SHINE

This winter has seen the third

successive SHINE* season and

once again it has been enormously

successful. The ‘Serious Fun on Saturdays’

programme is an innovative partnership

between Blackheath High School and

Brindishe Green, Brindishe Manor and

Brindishe Lee Primary Schools where

we open our doors for ten successive

Saturdays, lending our teaching facilities,

resources and teachers to local students

from disadvantaged communities. Central

to SHINE is the idea of partnership:

independent school working with state

school; children working with each other,

using specialist equipment in specialist

teaching rooms.

The 30 children involved in the scheme

were aged 9 and 10 and enjoyed a very

exciting selection of engaging sessions

from designing and making acrylic mirrors

and T-Shirts and bags, to working with

iPads and cooking apple turnovers. The

children gained an enormous amount

from every session; they make new friends

from the other two schools and they learn

to work as part of a team – with teachers

they have never met before. Throughout

the sessions, they are mentored by our

own Sixth Form students who are the

mainstay of the program. They sacrifi ce

their Saturday morning lie-in, and they

even sacrifi ced some revision time during

their mock exams to mentor the children

in small groups so that they gained

maximum benefi t from

the sessions.

The SHINE

programme

encourages the

children to do their

very best – high

achievement and

personal development

are the orders of the

day.

Assistant Head

SHINE

Quotes from Participating Teachers:

ART GALLERY

“A few years ago I was involved in a project with the RSC called “Stand Up for Shakespeare”. Th is was a manifesto launched to

improve Shakespeare teaching, making it accessible to children and not daunting. Th e main thrust of the manifesto was “see it live”, “Do it on

its feet” and “start young”. As a secondary school teacher I could do the fi rst two easily but not the “start young” as I taught Year 8 upwards. SHINE gave me the opportunity to explore Shakespeare with Year 5

pupils which was really exciting. Th eir ability to access the themes and the iambic rhythm to release the text was excellent and they left the

session excited about Shakespeare not seeing him as dead and boring.”

“Working with the Year 5 children is very rewarding. Th ey are very enthusiastic about writing and sharing stories and it is great to see their confi dence improve during the project. I also enjoy seeing the Blackheath High girls work closely with the Year 5s, off ering their

help and encouragement.”

“I wanted to give the SHINE children an enjoyable and enriching experience of Maths. Th ey really enjoyed using their hands to make the 3D shapes with straws and pipe cleaners

which will hopefully help them to remember the names of the shapes and what they look like.”

The BHSA (Blackheath High School Association) is the

school’s PTA. It brings girls, parents and teachers together to

socialise, have fun and raise money – which is spent on special

extras for the school. The BHSA is run solely by volunteers –

parents who donate their time and expertise for free. Without them,

it couldn’t operate - so every hour donated is hugely appreciated.

Fundraising activities are spread throughout the year, and include

a Welcome (Back) Drinks evening, Christmas Fair, Quiz Night, Easter

Fair, Camp Night and a Car boot Sale. In addition, there are teams of

parent volunteers who run a second hand uniform scheme, a weekly

coffee shop, bars at events and co-ordinate individual projects such

as the Christmas cards, tea towels and wrapping paper.

In the last school year, the BHSA raised £17,055.62. These

monies have gone towards new curtains for the Junior School gym,

a timpani drum, an International Film Library, furniture for Year I’s

‘Outside Classroom’ and a Yarn Bombing club.

As the BHSA relies totally on the good will of parents donating

their time, if you are able to be involved, do get in touch. If time is

already stretched, then instead sign up to Easyfundraising. This

scheme is a way of, quite literally, getting money for nothing. If you

sign up at www.easyfundraising.org, nominating Blackheath High

School, every online purchase you make with a participating retailer

gives the BHSA a portion of your spend. It doesn’t cost you anything,

and so far it’s earned the school £1,500. To know more, or to chat to Carolyn and Karen, the joint BHSA

Chairs, please email ‘[email protected]’.

FUNDRAISING

Last term was another very busy period of fundraising at

the Senior School . Having staged a traditional Harvest

Festival food collection for the Salvation Army, Captain Kevin

Sainsbury from the Deptford branch delivered an entertaining

assembly about their community work before loading the Salvation

Army van with eight crates of food for those less fortunate than

ourselves. This was followed in November by the ever-popular

‘Cakefest’ in which Houses competed to bake the most creative

and delicious cakes before selling these sponge-based delights to

raise money for their chosen charities. Year 8’s sixth ‘Children in

Need Talent Show’ was another huge success with a range of acts

including gymnastics, a Coldplay song performed on marimba, a

bizarre comedy routine and a surreal trombone performance by

Mrs Rose, Head of Year 8. In the run-up to Christmas we launched

our annual ‘Crisis at Christmas’ campaign which saw a fl urry of

activity across the school including a Year 7 Christmas Market, Year

9 tarot and palm reading, further bake sales, a hair salon and nail

bar to name but a few.

The Chamber Choir also sang Carols in Lewisham Shopping

Centre in the lead up to Christmas in order to raise funds for St

Christopher’s Hospice.

It’s always a joy to see the enthusiasm with which our community

spirited young women embrace charitable activities which are

invariably great fun. Mr Parsons

Fundraising

We kicked off our fund raising for the new academic year with a

mufti day for Jeans for Genes and Breast Cancer Awareness.

The girls came to school dressed in a combination of jeans and

pink to raise money for these important causes. We collected a total of

£185.11 for Jeans for Genes and £185.12 for Breast Cancer Awareness.

The Annual Harvest festival assembly in November was a mixture

of wonderful, thoughtful and fun songs and poems with the girls and

parents excelling in our ‘Community Spirited’ school Pillar of Learning.

The Theatre was fi lled with an abundance of food generously donated by

our parents and each year group entertained the audience with Harvest

Festival themed song, poems and dances – from Nursery’s action song all

about the Big Red Combine Harvester which helps the farmer gather the

crops from the fi eld to Year 6’s. Every year group’s contribution

was most enjoyable and entertaining. Captain Stanbury, from

the Salvation Army, wowed the girls with his magic skills as he

explained how our donations of food make such a big diff erence

to local people who are in real need.

November also brought our main fund raising event, Children

in Need. As usual, each year group ran an activity or competition

and the ever important cake sale was a huge success. All of

the eff ort and hard work paid off and we raised an astounding

£1306.02, which beat last year’s total.

Then, in December the girls showed their support for another

very worthy cause by holding a cake sale to raise urgent needed

funds for the Ebola crisis. The fi nal total, with match-funding

was a fantastic £663.38!

We are very grateful for the generosity of the girls and their

parents. Mrs Donnelly

explained how our donations of food make such a big diff erence

in Need. As usual, each year group ran an activity or competition
