Welcome to the September issue of the Haxey and Westwoodside Arrow Exam results were out in the Summer! I hope everyone out there achieved the results they wanted and moved on to pastures new successfully. What a strange year! This time last year who would have thought we would be in the situation we are in now! I am sure you will all agree home schooling, whilst for me was quite a novelty to begin with, became hard work. I am hoping for a successful transition for my son in to year 9 and my daughter at university.

If anyone managed to get away in the Summer, whether abroad or in the UK I hope you had a lovely break. It was touch and go for a lot of us booking flights, cancelled flights then the prospect of a 14 day quarantine! Lets hope the travel industry is in a better place in 2021!

Last year the Isle of Axholme car show was a great success. This year it’s going virtual!

This is becoming a common factor in our daily lives of ‘stay at home entertainment’.

If anyone would like to share their virtual events, please be in touch, Keep your articles coming in. Its important to keep the community spirit going!

The deadline for the October issue is Tuesday 15th September for delivery by Sunday 4th October..

Enjoy the read and keep safe!

Community News PATHFINDERS ......

A walking group exploring the footpaths & ancient ways on & around the Isle We discover wonderful walks all over the Isle and a little bit beyond.

Every week (unless it’s raining) we choose a different route from a repertoire of over 200. We don’t really like to get wet but always go prepared just in case!

Our 4-6 mile walks finish by lunchtime, but occasionally we do longer ones, and for the less energetic we can go shorter. You don’t need to be super fit , just pick a walk that’s not too ambitious.

These circular walks take us to places many of us just didn’t know existed, some with history and others just oozing with natural beauty ....... there is usually something memorable or surprising wherever we go, and there’s always a photo-op.

Come & join us!

To find out more please email isle.pathfinders@gmail.com

The Isle Choral Singers Unfortunately like many organisations, due to the present pandemic our choral group had no alternative but to cancel concerts this year. All members had worked hard for the performance of Vivaldi’s Gloria at the Easter concert so hopefully this can be staged in the not too distant future.

A decision for the resumption of rehearsals cannot be given at this time as we have to follow the strict guidelines laid down by our Government. All members will be contacted once rehearsals are permitted and of course new members will be given a warm welcome.

One piece of good news is that an application for grant aid to Epworth Town Council was successful and so we have ring fenced the sum of £350 for the purchase of music scores. We are extremely grateful to the council for their support of a local run charitable organisation.

Tony Flinn – Chairman on behalf of The trustees and committee

Gateway Church We are continuing to meet on Sundays at 10.30am on Zoom at present. Contemporary music, a short talk from the bible and a prayer time.

We will also be starting an online Alpha Course (alpha.org ) as an introduction to Christianity mid September. It's a great space to ask those big questions about life, God and why we're here.

We also love to pray for people - please contact us if you would like us to pray for you.

Results Day 13th August 2020 John Leggott College We would like to congratulate all John Leggott College students and learners across the country receiving their results today.

“I am very proud of all my students. They have had the most diverse experience in our 50 year history. They have throughout, however, been fantastic in such a difficult time,” says our Principal, Leon Riley.

We appreciate this year has been somewhat different but students’ efforts throughout their two years of studying with us at JLC still remains reflective of their outcomes and grades they have received today.

The overall college results are exceptionally strong, with increases in A*A, A*-B with 1 out of every 2 students at A Level receiving high grades. In BTEC subjects, 9 out of every 10 students achieved a Distinction or a Distinction*.

We have seen particularly strong results in 3D Design, Fashion & Textiles, Maths, Chemistry, Physics to name a few.

We would like to congratulate all our students who have positive destinations, with 5 students securing places at Oxford or Cambridge University.

The College has seen some changes from the teacher predicted grades, and the one received by students this morning. Principal Leon Riley said “The vast majority of our learners received, the grades we predicted and we are in a better position than many colleges. However, my main priority is to secure the grades that I believe my students truly deserve. We will be working with students on appeals when government guidance is announced.”

We cannot confirm the process for autumn exams, however the government will be looking at support packages to support schools and colleges with this; we will keep our students updated through our website. Our Careers and Progression Team are available for 12 months after our students leave, to access support around employment and universities.

It definitely has been a strange results day as normally we celebrate a great day of success together, however this year our activities and support is virtual. On behalf of our senior leadership team, a huge thank you to all staff who have worked incredibly hard to progress onto positive destinations and adapt fantastically during the current climate.

We would like to wish our 2020 leavers all the best of luck in the future and we will be inviting you all to celebrate in safer times in the future.

Stay in touch.

Isle Education Trust – Maintaining Standards in Very Trying Times At Isle Education Trust, we Expect Excellence from everyone and in all things.

This is our mindset. Across the Trust this translates in to Excellence in Engagement, Excellence in Communication and Excellence in Self.

Excellence in Engagement - All stakeholders are expected to engage fully in whatever role they occupy; students, staff and parents. Full commitment to a task ensures that the very best outcomes can be achieved both in and out of the classroom. If we are going to do something we do it properly, with all our heart and make it the best it can possibly be.

Excellence in Communication - Communication is crucial to any form of success.

We strive for excellence in communication every day, be it in the classroom, with staff colleagues, with parents and our communities, with other experts and settings. If everyone knows and understands what we are aiming to achieve, how we plan to get there and the part each individual has to play, the road to success is more direct, less lonely and ultimately more impactful.

Excellence in Self - A team is only as good as the sum of its parts. At IET, each individual is held to the highest standards of excellence to ensure that the part they play in the success of the Trust is as good as it can be. Excellence in self means understanding when to ask for help and when to offer help to others. It is about having a growth mindset and always striving to be the very best version of ourselves that we can be.

This Trust mind set has seen us through the challenge of lockdown and will continue to serve us well as we look to welcome back all of our students and staff at Epworth Primary, South Axholme and Coritani academies in September. A huge amount of work has gone in to preparations for this and whilst things will be a little different to normal, we are confident that all students will get back to full time learning very quickly so we can be back on track in no time!

Thank you to our local communities for their ongoing support throughout this period and for keeping the Isle going. We are proud to be a part of such a fantastic community!

Based in the Isle of Axholme
