SIX:TEEN EDITION SENIOR PRODUCTION

GCSE RESULTS 2023

t was wonderful to celebrate with Year 11 students as they received their GCSE results - the culmination of five years of hard work.

Although the 2022-2023 cohort experienced considerable disruption to their in-school education in their formative years, it is clear that the need to work more independently has spurred them on because this summer’s results have exceeded all expectations and predictions. Notably composed and resilient in their approach to sitting their exams over the summer, this cohort has been rewarded with half of all their results achieving the top A/A*/A** grades, three quarters achieving A**-B and with several students achieving a clean sweep of top 9-7 grades (A**-A) across all their 10 or 11 subjects. In English over three quarters of the year group achieved 9-7 grades with over two thirds of grades in History and Geography also achieving these A grade equivalents. Whilst it is clear that grade boundaries have risen - this year’s results are higher than those of the pre-pandemic years and we are very proud of this cohort. Almost every student in the year secured an A grade in at least one of their GCSE subjects which will give them a great foundation for their A Level studies.

A LEVEL RESULTS 2023

ith the Government’s suggestion that A Level results would be returning to the pre-pandemic grade boundaries of 2019, we were delighted with the success of our Upper Sixth students this year in their examinations.

Over the 22 subjects on offer at Pipers Corner, almost half achieved A* or A grades (compared to the 28% predicted nationally in the media). With the School’s highest ever number of grades achieving at least a grade C or above and a 100% pass rate for the seventh year in a row, 2023’s results actually outperformed those from 2019 in every respect. In fact compared to 2019’s results at Pipers, students in the summer have achieved almost twice as many top grades this year and results matched or were higher than many local grammar schools. Students are now excited to be taking up places on a wide variety of degree courses at top universities across the country, including Edinburgh, Exeter, Bristol, UCL, Manchester, Newcastle and Nottingham where they will be studying a wide range of subjects from Law, Politics, Philosophy, Architecture, English Literature, Ancient History, Arabic, Spanish, Fine Art and Psychology.

PIPERS BECOME INDEPENDENT SCHOOL OF THE YEAR FINALISTS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL ACHIEVEMENT

e are delighted to announce that Pipers has been named as a finalist for the Independent School of the Year Award for Environmental Achievement, a recognition that speaks volumes about our commitment to sustainability and environmental education.

As such we are incredibly proud to be recognised for our holistic approach to the environment and sustainability.

CELEBRATING THE 70’S ON FOUNDERS DAY

For the themed celebrations, the students took part in various activities including school dinner themed deserts in Food Technology, Abba-oke, a showing of the original ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ in the Arts Centre Theatre. In memory of our Founder Jessie Cross, Students also laid flowers at her graveside at St Mary’s Church Prestwood, followed by the cutting of the Founders Day cake in a whole School assembly.

MACMILLIAN COFFEE MORNING

For the occasion, our wonderful pastry-chef once again gave a masterclass in cake-creation with an incredible cupcake-bouquet as the coveted raffle prize. Cakes were also donated by Pipers parents to produce a grand selection of goodies. Not only was it a good event to raise money for a great cause, both new and existing parents were given the opportunity to mingle and find out more about the Pipers Community. A huge thank you to all parents who attended the morning as we raised £272.55.

STUDENTS AWARDED ECO-SCHOOLS GREEN FLAG

ipers has earned a Whole School international accreditation in September this year, recognising our student’s amazing work in making their school more environmentally-friendly and raising eco-awareness in fellow students. Students across all year groups were democratically elected to form an Eco-Committee, then collaborated with our Head of Forest School, Head of Prep and Pre-Prep, the HOPE committee and our Environmentalist-in-Residence to conduct an environmental review, assessing how eco-friendly we are. They reviewed everything from biodiversity within the school grounds to how student and staff members travel to school. Building on their findings, the School then planned a year of action designed to advance their green credentials, improve their local environment and protect our planet.

REMEMBRANCE DAY 2023

e observed a poignant moment of reflection and paid tribute during our Remembrance Service, where a two-minute silence was held. Our collective thoughts turned to the courageous Armed Forces and their families, additionally, we acknowledged the indispensable role played by the Emergency Services and we remembered all those who have lost their lives due to conflict or acts of terrorism. During the ceremony, our Head Girl placed a wreath at our War Memorial, symbolising our deep respect for those who made the ultimate sacrifice. Additionally, three Year 5 students shared heartfelt letters they had written to honour those who serve in our Armed Forces It is crucial to emphasise that Remembrance is not a celebration of war; rather, the red poppy represents a hopeful vision for a peaceful future. The service concluded with a moving rendition of Mozart’s Amen by Senior School Students, leaving a lingering sense of solemnity and remembrance in the air.

PIPERS STAFF: LEADING THE CHARGE IN RAISING AWARENESS FOR CHARITIES

ach year, a number of Pipers staff challenge themselves to undertake fundraising activities. This year is no exception.

Head of Prep French Miss Gagnon ran the London Marathon to raise money for MACS (Microphthalmia, Anophthalmia and Coloboma Support), a charity with less exposure, where her support could truly make a difference. Form Tutor and Teacher of Geography Mr Craven took on the Chiltern-50, a gruelling 50km ultra-marathon, to raise money in support of Cancer Research. Librarian Mr Delbrooke-Jones embarked on a challenging mission to run the full Isle of Wight coastal path spanning 106km in just 24 hours. His aim was to support The Talent Tap, a remarkable social mobility charity that collaborates with schools and colleges to inspire ambitious 16-18-year-old students, particularly those in Year 12 and beyond. The charity’s mission is to match these students with prestigious and motivating employers, opening up a world of opportunities. These fundraising activities not only showcase their determination but also highlight the importance of giving back to the community and making a positive impact on the world.

SPOTLIGHT ON FOOD AND NUTRITION At Pipers, our commitment to minimising food waste and offering sustainable dining options is not only a priority but a way of life. Holroyd Howe, the catering team responsible for food provision at the School, has implemented a range of initiatives to reduce food waste, promote eco-friendly practices and provide students with nutritious and environmentally conscious meals. We caught up with Mr Ramjattan, General Manager at Holroyd Howe to find out how he and his team deliver sustainable nutrition for every meal. How do you ensure a reduction in food waste? We carefully evaluate the menu balance, eliminating unpopular food items to reduce waste. Simultaneously, we integrate sustainable and “futureproof” foods that align with eco-friendly principles. How are the menus at Pipers becoming more sustainable? We endeavour to reduce food miles by prioritising the purchase of locallysourced ingredients and products. This not only supports local producers but also contributes to a lower carbon footprint, working closely with HOPE and Miss Webb, the Environmentalist-in-Residence, we are devising actionable plans to address the issue and instilling lifelong sustainable eating habits. How do you balance the menu’s nutritional value? A minimum of three portions or fruits and vegetables are offered every day, including whole fruits, fruit cups and freshly prepared salads. Starchy carbohydrates cooked in oil are served no more than twice a week to promote healthy eating habits. Oily fish is featured on the menu at least once every two weeks, while processed meat products are restricted to once a week. We maintain a commitment to health by limiting deep-fried food to once a week, minimal salt usage and the reduction or replacement of sugar with naturally sweet alternatives like fruits and vegetables. How do you cater for people with allergies, intolerances and dietary preferences? Plant-based proteins are incorporated into the menu at least four times a week, promoting a more sustainable and health-conscious diet. Gluten-free and vegan choices are available every day to cater to dietary preferences and all of our food comes with comprehensive allergy listings.
