Welcome to the October issue of the Arrow!
Congratulations to everyone who collected their exam results in August! Some great results across the Isle! In this months issue some of the schools celebrate their success. I was celebrating my own daughters success with 3 A’s and 5 B’s. Struggling through academic subjects throughout her school life I was amazed at how well she did. I think the £ signs made a difference and I should have never under estimated her! Don’t forget if your child didn't get the results they wanted in GCSE or A levels and couldn't get on that course of first choice, there are plenty of options throughout the Isle and Doncaster. We regularly advertise schools and colleges. Give them a call or visit them on their open days. The choices are wide and varied! October brings Halloween, I just love it! Inside the Arrow events are advertised at the Yorkshire Wildlife Park and Boston Park Farm

If any of this rings a bell with you, then look out for a new event coming to Epworth this October. On Saturday 14 October from 11 to 3pm the Apple of Your Isle are bringing an Apple Day to the Old Rectory gardens.

Community News Epworth Old Rectory Getting Towards The End of a Busy Summer My how time does fly. Here we are in September and it feels like it was only a few weeks ago since we began our new season in March. We've had some fantastic events - the Country Fayre at which we had the largest attendance in many years with so many of the local community bringing the family along to meet the animals and enjoy all the other entertainment. And how can anyone forget Shakespeare in the Garden with The Handlebards - a troupe of four young men who brought Midsummer Night's Dream to vibrant life on the main lawn and had everyone in stitches. Final visitor figures aren't available as we haven't finished the season yet, but it feels as if we have had more groups booked in than we've had for quite a few years, which has been fantastic, but exhausting for all who have had to keep taking care of things for them and making sure their visits ran as smoothly as we could possibly manage. The variety of nationalities of visitors continues with all corners of the globe being represented. Although the season is coming to a close - we haven't finished yet, by any means. There is an apple pressing day coming up in October when you can bring along your own apples and have them pressed. Bring plastic containers for the juice and you can freeze it for later use (see website and notices for details) More groups to take care of, as well as the visitors who just drop in; the Christmas Craft Fair in November, and the Candlelit tours in December, and somewhere in among all this we have to continue with the day to day running of the rectory, and getting it ready for next year. Also in December we say farewell to the current chairman of the Trustees of the Old Rectory, Rev. Graham Walker who has served well for a number of years, and get to welcome his replacement Sarah Friswell, whom I am sure will be equally committed to carrying out all the tasks still on the agenda.
8
One final brief plea - We still need volunteers to help keep the rectory open for our community as well as all our visitors from home and abroad. Please, if you have one morning or afternoon per week to spare and want something to do, come and join our family of volunteers. You don't need any special skills - you just need to enjoy meeting and talking to new people and we'll teach you any new skills you may need. Call Gillian on 01427 872268 for more information on how to join us.
Epworth and District Flower Club Update. As this is being written members are anticipating a demonstration entitled “Go Foam Free” given by Maggie Wootten of the Scunthorpe Flower Club. Maggie usually provides an entertaining evening so it will be a good start to the Autumn meetings. October will see the Club return to its usual home, the Stephen Jones Community Hall in Haxey, and the usual meeting time of 7.30pm on the second Monday of the month. This year 9th October. It will be a Members Evening, with Autumn themed demonstrations by members. These meetings are always very enjoyable as we appreciate what hidden talents many members have. There is never any pressure for anyone to demonstrate, in fact many just come along for a relaxing, flower filled evening. Excitement is growing as the Club plans for its “Piece de Resistance” in November. On Monday 13th November Jonathan Moseley of national and television fame will demonstrate “Fabulously Festive” at the Club’s annual Open Meeting. This year it is to be held in the South Axholme Academy, and entry will be by ticket only. The tickets will be available from members and further details will be on the posters and adverts being displayed around the town. Proceeds from that event will go to the Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire Air Ambulance. Keep your eyes open for the posters and ticket details. We hope you feel you might like to join us. We consider we are a friendly “bunch”, so why not give us a try? Celia Jones 01427 874042

BELOW AN ACCOUNT OF THE CONVOY CLIFFORD SAILED WITH ON HIS VOYAGE TO SUEZ WS 10X This small convoy sailed from Avonmouth. 14.8.41, Liverpool 15.8 and the Clyde 16.8, making its juncture late on 16.8:
11L STRATHNAVER (Vice Commodore) 21C STRATHMORE (Commodore) 31A ORION 12L PALMA
22L BRISBANE STAR
32A PORT JACKSON
BRISBANE STAR lost the convoy 19.8 and did not rejoin until 22.8. Local escorts were the Dutch AA cruiser HEEMSKERK and destroyers WHITEHALL and WITCH from Liverpool 15 to 17.8, destroyers GURKHA, ISAAC SWEERS, LANCE and PIORUN from the Clyde 17 to 19.8; DORSETSHIRE as ocean escort to Freetown from the Clyde. Local Freetown escort of the destroyers BRILLIANT, VELOX (for one day only) and WRESTLER and corvettes CLEMATIS and CROCUS joined 27.8 and the convoy arrived at Freetown 28.8.41. From Freetown the convoy sailed on 1.9 in the same cruising order with the battleship REVENGE as ocean escort. Corvettes AMARANTHUS (to 2.9) and ARMERIA, MIGNONETTE and WOODRUFF escorted to 3.9. During the passage, REVENGE's Officer of the Watch chose to exercise a steering breakdown while in close company with the convoy; the resultant violent sheer towards ORION was potentially disastrous but, fortunately, the liner struck the battleship on the starboard bulge with only minor damage to both. Ships. Had the reverse been the case, the loss of ORION would have been almost inevitable with the possibility of heavy loss of life. The OOW (Officer of the Watch) was subsequently court martial led, and disciplined for having endangered both. his ship and the transport. Convoy arrived at Cape Town on 11.9, and sailed once more on 14.9, still escorted by REVENGE, and in the same formation. The battleship was relieved by the cruiser CERES on 22.9 who took the convoy on to dispersal off Aden on 27.9, thereafter ships proceeded independently to Suez, arriving at varying dates between 1 and 4.10.41.

GCSE Records Tumble as Grade 9s pose no problem at Hill House! Isle Pupils at Hill House School are celebrating this year after a record breaking set of GCSE exam results. Despite concerns over how hard the new Grade 9 would be to achieve, the Hill House group won 22 of them, with pride of place going to Belton’s Matthew West, who gained a full set of 9s in English Language, English Literature, and Mathematics, alongside 7A*s, and Epworth’s Arnav Chadha, who secured 9s in Mathematics and English Literature to go with one 8, and 7A*s. A massive 318 of the examinations taken resulted in A*/A or equivalent grades, leading to a record braking 59% of GCSEs earning A*/A, and 98% of pupils achieved at least 5 good GCSEs including English and Mathematics.
Arnav Chadha hugs his Mum after receiving excellent results
Other outstanding Isle performers at the Auckley school included Eastoft’s Morgan Everatt, who gained one 9, 5A* and 2As, Belton’s Hannah Young, who managed one 9, 7A*s and 2As, while Beatrice Holland earned 6A*s and 3As and Belton’s Charlie Gaffney secured 4A*s and 5As. Staff at the Auckley school were especially pleased to see that their busy international sports’ stars were able to reconcile their budding careers with very good grades; Doncaster and England Hockey player, Annabel Bennett gained 9 GCSEs including an A* and 2As, Great Britain Skier Jodie Grant secured 7 GCSEs including 3As and 4Bs, while GB sailor Tom Parkhurst earned 7 good passes.
Beatrice Holland opening her fantastic results
Headmaster David Holland was delighted with the results, saying ‘we are so proud of this group of pupils; we were thrilled to see last year’s group getting past the 50% mark for A*/As, but this takes results to a new level. To see 44% of the year group get at least 8As is also wonderful, but so is seeing every pupil Isle pupils, Casey Sanderson, Beatrice Holland, Morgan Everatt, Hannah Young and Amy Jackson all did achieving what they needed to move on to fantastically well. their Sixth Form studies.

South Axholme Academy make their mark as a top 6th Form provider. It’s been an “A”mazing set of results at South Axholme Academy with the very first A level results for the Isle. South Axholme Academy’s 6th Form celebrated in style with its first set of A level results placing them in the top 5% of schools nationally (based on 2016 figures). Sarah Thompson, Principal of the academy said “We are absolutely ecstatic with the A level results obtained by our first ever 6th form cohort. To be in the top 5% of post 16 providers nationally and to have a 100% pass rate with our first cohort of students is an exceptional feat. We were always quietly confident that our fantastic students and dedicated staff would do well, but these results exceed all expectations.” When asked about the success of post 16 study at the academy, Paul Barratt, Chair of Directors of Isle Education Trust said “South Axholme is a traditional 6th form setting, with small classes and staff who really know their students. This sort of provision isn’t replicated anywhere locally and the personal approach along with highly favourable group sizes is a clear recipe for success. We firmly believe that South Axholme 6th Form should be the number one choice for post 16 study in the area. To have such outstanding results from our first cohort is down to the hard work of the students and amazing staff.” Student Ben Dance who gained 3 A levels, 2 A*s and an A is now packing his bags ready to take up his place at Leeds to study Chemical Engineering. Also celebrating were students Frankie Caseley (AAC), Abigail Atherton (BBB), Eleanor Cousins (ABB) and Charlie Thompson (BBC) all of whom are now off to their chosen universities. Congratulations to all our 6th form students on a truly amazing set of results!
