Eleanor May Simmonds, OBE (born 11 November 1994) is a British former Paralympian swimmer who competed in S6 events. She came to national attention when she competed in the 2008 Summer Paralympics in Beijing, winning two gold medals for Great Britain. She was the youngest member of the team, at the age of 13. In 2012, she was again selected for the Great Britain squad, this time swimming at a home games in London. She won another two golds in London, including setting a World Record in the 400m freestyle, and a further gold medal at the Rio Paralympics in 2016, this time setting a world record for the 200m medley.
Ellie suffers with Achondroplasia or dwarfism.
Simmonds was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2009 New Year Honours. At 14 years old, she became the youngest person ever to have received this honour. She received the honour from Queen Elizabeth II on 18 February 2009.
In March 2012, in the 200 m individual medley, she became the first swimmer to break a world record at London's Aquatics Centre. Her victory in a time of 3:08.14 broke her own previous best time by over half a second.

E.g. In January I ran 50 miles supporting Maggie’s cancer charity.
I did this because I have seen first hand how cancer affects a person/family. I want to reduce the pain for patients of cancer and make their treatment process an easier journey.
E.g. I volunteered in an Elephant sanctuary in Thailand.
I did this because I wanted to help, and to ensure animals are given equal care and love. My aim was to help reduce the neglect and cruelty animals are subjected to.

Examples: The critic wrote a scathing review of the play. They needed to review the application for planning. As well as revising your key terms, review the notes in your book.
Thelma the Unicorn, a new Netflix animated family movie, has plenty of successful tricks aimed at kids: glitter and cotton-candy pink, a pile of manure jokes, a mini-album of catchy original songs, an endearing hero in its titular singing pony-turned-unicorn. But perhaps its greatest asset is its parable of fame, easy enough for young minds reared on phones to grasp, but winking to those who understand a matching-double-denim-outfits on the red carpet reference.
I have to imagine that it is bewildering to grow up aware of or aspiring to viral fame – Instagram celebrities, TikTok trends, overnight Youtube stars –before you even really know yourself. In the grand tradition of kids movies peppered with adult references and talking donkeys, Thelma the Unicorn, directed by Lynn Wang and Napoleon Dynamite’s Jared Hess, offers up plenty of glitterified, thoroughly silly fun over a decent, sunny message on staying true to yourself in the spotlight.
It comes with plenty of pitfalls along the way, which provide the bulk of the film’s humor. Thelma, voiced by Alabama Shakes frontwoman Brittany Howard in her voice-acting debut, is a working small-town pony (she carts manure at a farm) with a DIY backing band and a dream of crowd-surfing at the music festival Sparklepalooza. Thwarted by the usual dismissals at an American Idol-esque audition – we don’t like your look, you don’t have the “it” factor – Thelma catches a break thanks to a collision with a clumsy truck driver’s (Zach Galifianakis) paint and glitter.

This is all about how you are approaching your studies at Highfields:
• Are you taking responsibility for your learning?
• Are you demonstrating resilience in the face of setbacks?
• Are you reflective about your approach to your studies?
1 – Outstanding – you are highly likely to achieve your potential
2 – Good – you are likely to make progress and achieve your potential
3 – Requires Improvement – your approach to learning is not there yet, therefore you are at risk of underachieving
4 – Inadequate – you are likely to underachieve
an

Thrives on challenges, doesn’t give up easily and is determined to improve
Gets actively and enthusiastically involved in all learning
Seeks feedback and uses next steps to make big improvements to their work
…and as a result is HIGHLY likely to make great progress and achieve their potential
May require prompts from others to get on with work, stay on task and meet expectations
Books suggest that often they could take more pride in their classwork and/ or their homework
May choose not to volunteer answers or contribute to activities and instead let others do the thinking
Can avoid challenging themselves and may settle for ‘good enough’
…and as a result is putting themselves at risk of underachieving
Your Approach to Learning (ATL) grade is yourresponsibility.
After you have received it, it is over to you to have a learning discussion with your teacher as to how to improve.
“The more you take responsibility for your past and
present, the more you are able to create the future you seek.”
You will get an A4 copy of your profile and an A5 review sheet:
• On your profile, colour in your ATL grade:
• 1 & 2 in green
• 3 in yellow/orange
• 4 in red
Stick this profile in your form time exercise book!
If you have been given an ATL grade of a 3 or 4 you then need to have a learning conversation with your teachers. Remember this is your responsibility.
You are now going to monitor your progress towards achieving the Highfields Community Award.
There is a reminder of the criteria on the next slide.
• Club Participation – Students must regularly attend at least one extracurricular club (music lessons included). This should be across at least 3 school terms.
• School Leadership – Students must be a school ambassador or participate in at least 3 events organised by the ambassadors.
• Classroom success – Attendance 96% or above in 4 terms. Positive rewards score. ATL 2.8 or better. 3 litter picks a year.
You are now going to fill in your review sheet
Stick this review in your form time exercise books!
Task Two
Fill in your;
- attendance - total reward points - total consequence points
This information is all at the bottom of your profile.
Task Three
You can now work out your Rewards – consequences total.
This must be 0 or above to pass the Bronze level and above 50 to achieve Silver.
E.g. Achievement points = 84
Consequence points = 0
84 – 0 = 84
Task Four Copy your average ATL grade from your profile onto your review sheet. This needs to be between 1 and 2.8 to pass the Bronze level (and between 1 and 2.4 for Silver)
Task Five
Fill in the wider curriculum clubs you attend. You need to regularly attend a club for a least 3 terms to achieve Bronze (and 4 for Silver).
Task Six
Fill in the Student leadership section.
Are you a school ambassador? Events will start to be organised for you to get involved in.
Set yourself a target. These needs to be a SMART target e.g. Attend a wider curriculum club, complete 2 litter picks next half term, improve AtL in Maths.
Avoid vague targets such as ‘do better’ and ‘try harder’.
Are you on track to achieve your Bronze level? If not, why not? What do YOU need to change?
