Prize

Day Speech by the Headmaster Chairman, Professor Sir Colin Berry, The

Worshipful

the Mayor of Bromley, Cllr Julian Bennington, Lady Mayoress, proud parents, students, colleagues; it is a pleasure to welcome you to this celebration of the achievements of our senior students as we reflect on the world of education and another excellent year.

Two students were arguing when a Headmaster unexpectedly entered the class-room. HM: “What are you boys arguing about?” Boy: “We found a £10 note and decided that whoever tells the biggest lie should keep it.” “You ought to be ashamed of yourselves” said HM “at a school with such strong values as this. When I was your age I didn’t even know what a lie was.” The boys gave the £10 note to HM.

I am pleased to say that our students not only have such wit and creativity but do indeed have a sense of true values. Tonight’s prize-winners also know how to use their intelligence to delve into areas of personal interest and pursue our aspiration for true scholarship. In so doing, they build on the heritage of this prestigious Grammar school, embarking on life with optimism for the future in a new and changing world.

Our Year 13 leavers again produced even more remarkable A level results than last year, confirming St Olave’s position as the 2nd best state school with mixed 6th Form. 95% of grades were at A*/B; a record 53 students secured places for Oxbridge or Medicine; and 28 gained 3+A*s. Students, as well as staff and parents, can look back with great pride on these achievements.

Year 12s produced the best ever AS results with 88% A/B grades, a superb overall standard which augers well for next year. GCSE results were no less impressive and with a record 88% of grades at A*/A and 53% at A*. 25 students here this evening gained 9+A* grades; they will be joined by 130 new 6th formers from other schools, 50 of whom also have 9+A*s. You will not be surprised to hear that we have fairly high aspirations for the new Y12.

Such results have clearly not gone unnoticed by prospective parents with applications for Y7 places rocketing to 1061 this year. It was not just the quality of achievements but also that of teaching, behaviour and leadership that were, not perhaps surprisingly, endorsed by Ofsted as ‘outstanding’ across the board when they paid us a visit in March.

And this begs the question ‘Post Ofsted, where next?’ So I want to break with tradition a little and leave my colleagues to describe the array of cultural, individual and team successes throughout the last 12 months. I would like to briefly consider the wider educational context and share a few thoughts with you about my vision for the future.

The landscape ahead is already dominated by two external factors over which we have little control: curriculum/ examination changes and further funding reductions. We shall almost certainly have to add to these following the general election. However, it is important that we have a positive vision for what else the future holds, within the context of the 21st century and a rapidly changing world.

The former Secretary of State for Education, although not universally popular for his style, introduced some long overdue changes to public examinations and associated curricula, in order to bring standards up to those of the most advanced nations. Teachers have already begun the process of restructuring schemes of work and preparing for a completely new grading system. A return to the days of 2-year linear courses, with terminal examinations, has major implications for Sixth Form programmes, AS levels, university applications and pressure on students.

It will be important that we build on our care systems for their well-being with effective motivation balanced by reassurance and support. With the relentless growth of electronic communications and internet influences, many positive, but some with potential dangers, students will need more guidance on the safe use of social media. We shall need to ensure that our transition arrangements are as supportive as possible, so that our youngest pupils and those new to Y12 settle in quickly and feel secure.

Current pressures on Grammar School funding show no sign of abating; 2014-15 will be the worst year so far with further cuts of £130,000 in our annual budget. Given that the first year post general election is historically a lean year, it will be important that we continue to exercise prudent financial management at the same time as working with parents, grand-parents, corporate sponsors, and the OO community to develop new income streams. The good news is that, despite the pressures, we have managed to operate successfully over the last 3 years. Generous support from the Fdn has helped towards the much needed development of new Science accommodation, to be completed around

Christmas. It would be good to feel that, at some stage, we could revisit the possibility of the all-weather pitch to broaden the range of winter sports; and also to support the Old Olavian 5s community as they progress their project to build 4 new Fives courts and encourage other state schools to become involved.

Like most selective schools, a review of our Entrance Test arrangements will be a key priority as we struggle to cope with the relentless increase in the number of applicants. More importantly, I would like to find a way of enabling StOGS to fulfil that original Grammar School ideal of enabling greater social mobility for youngsters from areas of social disadvantage. Children from such areas often attend low performing primary schools and lack positive educational influences and aspirations from their families and communities. How to identify and support such children is not just a substantial challenge, but a duty from which we should not shirk.

High quality student journals, EPQs, play scripts & musical compositions, are testament to the way in which scholarship now leads the agenda at St O’s. Student societies and the new 3-year KS4 encourage research into areas of personal interest, with inspiration provided by scholarship fortnight, the Olavian Lecture Series and teaching colleagues, many of whom have Doctorates or backgrounds in interesting areas of research. The pursuit of intellectual enrichment also contributes to the success of students aiming for top university places. There is still headroom to increase these through more work with younger students, more forums like the STEP, Medical and Economics electives, with a more orally discursive culture to hone student interview skills and confidence.

An interesting change is taking place in the ethnic demographic of the school with a steady increase in the proportion of ethnic minorities. How should we respond to this social change, gain from this blossoming cultural diversity? It is increasingly important, as the world shrinks, that our students understand global issues, other communities, their values and aspirations. Life changing experiences can be gained from the array of overseas trips and exchanges about which you will hear from my colleagues. Our new BC link with La Martiniere, Kolkata, will see students working jointly on global citizenship and sustainability. We hope to create a team of ISAs to add to this portfolio countries with different perspectives, perhaps in Africa or the Middle East.

Coming slightly nearer to home, Ofsted suggested that we use the PLASMA-T project to spread best practice amongst other schools. We shall do this by promulgating the OTP, by providing training in computer programming and robotics; and by sharing our expertise in Oxbridge and Medical school preparation. We shall also seek to nurture a more cohesive OO community and to build on the impressive intellectual capital therein to prepare students better for university and life beyond.

So what will this life, this 21st C, look like? It is important that we, as educators, do not duck this slightly daunting question, but rather share in the excitement of what lies ahead to prepare and challenge our students as best we can. If I might dare to hypothesise:

Biotechnology, or a synthesis of biochemistry and mathematics, will be the Industrial Revolution of the 21st C, with profound implications for human health, food, diversity, sustainability. As populations grow, energy will become ever more important, particularly sustainable sources related to the sun and nuclear fusion. An explosion in robotics will permeate all aspects of life and ultimately lead to the recreation of ourselves. We shall need to understand, accommodate and influence climate change before it is too late. Communications systems will proliferate with transmitter-receiver implants that grow connections into our CNS. We shall discover other habitable planets and unlock more secrets of cosmology, time, dark and anti-matter, inter-galactic space travel.

We must better understand the oceans and protect the planet’s diversity as we replace the current bankrupt banking ideology with ecological economics. Our social consciences ought to prompt us to ensure that everyone has nutritious, sustainable food and access to clean water though, sadly, I suspect this will remain a lower priority than ongoing arms races and politics of power. In health, we shall quickly learn how to beat the superbugs, whether by phage or new generation antibiotics; the science of stem cells will generate instant ET-like organ re-creation and remedies for debilitating conditions such as dementia and paralysis; extending life-span will become a trillion dollar industry. Perhaps, like Lucy, some of our students might even learn how to use more than 10% of their brain capacity! And there will, of course, be things we cannot even dream of yet.

The 21st then will be a century of unparalleled Science; but science needs to be tempered with a concomitant set of values. Splitting the atom was an act of profound scientific brilliance and creativity; building the nuclear bomb distorted this in an act of political and industrial irresponsibility. I hope, Chairman, that our education system at St O’s will not only inspire our prize-winners to unlock some of the mysteries of the 21st C, but also equip them with the social awareness and values to use their talents with discernment. If they can balance their scholarship and enlightenment with wisdom and compassion, then the glittering prizes awaiting them, and human-kind, will be even bigger than those which they thoroughly deserve here this evening.

Prize Day Speech by Director Sixth Form, David Budds

Chairman, Sir Colin, worshipful mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen, as you have already heard it has been an outstanding year academically for the Sixth Form with a remarkably impressive set of results both at A2 and AS. All of our students are bright; most of them shine and some of them are positively incandescent. Whilst the aggregates are indisputably superb, they are only the sum of the incredible efforts of individual students. Tonight we celebrate the personal endeavours, triumphs and sheer hard work and determination on which those aggregates are based, not to mention the incredible range of other contributions which our remarkable Sixth Formers have made to the school and the potent legacy of excellence which they leave in their wake. To our Prize winners, your school is proud of you and we can only imagine the pride which your families will feel in reflecting on your various achievements this evening.

How these superlative young people fit it all in, goodness alone knows, but our Sixth Formers also found time to get involved in a huge range of extra- and supercurricular activities. My greatest challenge in fact in preparing this speech was deciding what to leave out, as there is so very much which has been remarkable. You will, I trust, forgive me if I cannot cover every single remarkable thing you have done. We would be here for so very long that your dedicated teachers who delight in your achievement would be up way beyond their usual waking hours and too exhausted to teach any lessons tomorrow – it is possible even that were I to enumerate them all, you still all be sat in this hall, listening to me talk when those lessons began.

In addition to their strong A-Level results, 34 Year 13 students completed their Extended Project Qualification and gave highly accomplished and cogent presentations of their 6000 word dissertations. EPQ topics were diverse and challenging, ranging from ‘Whether Quantum Indeterminacy is responsible for Free Will’ to ‘Why did Chinua Achebe choose to write in English’. All EPQ candidates were subjected to rigorous questioning from the floor and the students rose to the challenge with exemplary Olavian erudition and aplomb. Other academic achievements beyond the mainstream A2 curriculum were abundant, with highlights including Caterina Hall, Izabella Inzani, Aarushi Khanna, Uroosa Chughtai and Alexandros Adamoulas being awarded gold medals in the first round of the prestigious Biology Olympiad, placing them in the top 6%. Aarushi And Uroosa were subsequently invited to the second round, competing to represent the UK in the International Biology Olympiad in Bali.

In sport, the first XV rugby season included notable victories against Colfes, London Oratory and Wallington and climaxed as the squad reached the last 16 of the

Natwest Vase competition. The first XI football team also had an excellent season, starting with an unbroken run of five wins in five matches. The quality of sports leadership for our teams this year has been exceptional, with our senior students giving up a very significant proportion of whatever free time they have to lead sessions, to give great opportunities to those in younger years and to act as role models for them. There are many who could be cited here, but Charlie Bishop, as ever, is a great exemplar of the genre with his inspirational captaincy of the hockey team, giving high-quality coaching, uncompromising on-pitch leadership and total commitment in all games played. All of our captains are commended and all are thanked for the legacy of inspiration and excellence which they leave behind. The captains were supported by a very dedicated team of sports prefects who also consistently set the highest standards of aspiration and support for our younger students. No less impressive than the team efforts and the captaincies and prefectures which relate to them are the achievements in more individual pursuits, which include William Ruiz’s setting of a new 3000m senior athletics record and Tim Adelani being placed 3rd in Kent for the senior 100m backstroke heats.

Aside from Sport, the Sixth Form have enjoyed many other proud achievements. Drama continued to flourish at the school with Year 13 taking prominent roles throughout their time in the Sixth Form at events including the extravaganza of musical theatre that is Showstoppers, splendidly compered last year by Louis Cokell and Jay Routh and in which Fergus MacDonald gave us alarmingly good cause to fear sadistic musical dentists. Jay went on to become a finalist in a national play-writing competition and had her work performed at the National Theatre and Fergus proved his comic talent once again in his leading role in Elling this year –although not even in the most colourful and impassioned sermon or the most fraught chamber choir or Savoy choir rehearsal have I heard quite so much swearing in the school chapel as I did on that evening. Other dramatic highlights of our leavers’ time in the Sixth Form have included Fintan Calpin’s memorable and inspirational staging of The Resistable Rise of Arturo Ui which, together with his earlier production of the Playboy of the Western World abundantly demonstrated his directorial vision and panache. Audiences enjoyed an impressive production of Cabaret in which several of our leavers including Larissa Schymyck, Eyiara Olugunna, James Curling and again Louis Cokell, performed leading roles superbly and many other leavers danced or were in the band. Musically, Sixth Formers have played prominent parts in the Christmas and Easter concerts as well as through their involvement in the wide range of orchestras, ensembles and choirs both as leaders and active participators.

This year also saw the continuation of “The O Factor”, St

Olave’s answer to the X Factor! A memorable polyphonic performance of Farrell Williams’s “Happy” by Leeke, conducted brilliantly by Peter Leigh, being one of many highlights. The Art Exhibition held at the end of the summer term again showed what intensely talented and creative students we have. The time, thought and effort put into the many pieces on display was an outstanding achievement.

Senior students once again found themselves organising a wide range of events this year with probably the highlight for most being Festival with afternoon lessons being suspended in order that students could enjoy the various stalls run by form groups, and events such the firm Festival favourites ‘Just a minute’ and ‘University Challenge’. As well as Festival, Cabaret was held on the Friday night before the end of the Christmas term, and this event showcased the wide range of talent in the Sixth Form including a great variety of singers and bands including the inimitable Mutton. All this was done in support of the charities Water Aid and the Jennifer Trust for whom the sum of almost £10,000 was raised this year.

The Sixth Form provides students with many opportunities to take on positions of leadership within the school and our local community and this year was no exception. 139 members of the then Year 12 took up positions as form, duty and academic prefects. The Senior Prefect Team of Skanda Rajasundaram, Tim Adelani, Charlie Bishop, Jordan Fisher, Sinead O’Connor and Zeinab Ruhomauly progressed admirably with the reinvigoration of the house system with development of the annual calendar of competitions taking place in academic subjects as well as the with various sports and societies and through the organisation of a charity quiz with the PA which funded the purchase of trophies and a trophy cabinet for all house events and a set of house banners with re-designed logos. Sixth Form students visited St.Paul’s Cray primary school on a number of occasions to assist with their French day, Science Week and their Sport’s Day. The school was once again host for the annual Mathematics and Science Challenge Day for Year 5 pupils from our partner primary schools with activities organised and led by the Year 12 Academic prefects. Student-led societies continued to flourish, along with a real blossoming of the culture of academic journals (including this year for the first time a crosscurricular journal, a law journal, an art journal, a literature journal, a classics journal and a modern foreign languages journal). Sixth Formers remain heavily involved in and committed to the School’s Le Chavetois Programme, assisting and supporting a range of local communitybased endeavours and improving the quality of life of hundreds of other people, old and young, throughout the borough. Sixth Formers also organised Cultural Evening which included an exotic display of music and dance as well as culinary delights and a dazzling fashion show.

And finally at the close of this academic year, following the A level examinations, Year 13s took time to celebrate the end of their school careers, but hopefully not the end of their contact with the school, at the Leavers’ Reception where students, parents and staff enjoyed canapés and champagne before the students went onto the Leaver’s Ball held at Oakley House.

Many of you will be aware that this particular year group has a lot of personal significance for me and it has been a real privilege to have served as their head of year for two years for the internal boys, for a year for the whole group and subsequently as their Director of Sixth Form. They could scarcely have made me prouder in the time that I have worked for them and I thank them abundantly for enabling me to say that.

In giving a final valedictory salute, you may remember from a couple of years ago that I had some difficulty in finding an appropriate collective name for our Prize winners, having come to the conclusion that “Sons of Olave” sounded like a mysterious Scandinavian paramilitary group. Since then, matters have become still more complex. Up until about a year ago, I would have said Sons and Daughters of Olave has the air of a harrowing Ibsen play fused with a dismal antipodean soap opera. Children of Olaf? A dystopian Sci-Fi thriller. However, the sad truth now is that, as so frequently happens, Disney have ruined everything and since the film “Frozen” came along any collective appellation indicating descent from Olaf suggests that you are the progeny of a slightly saccharine animated snowman with a poignant and misguided longing for summer, so I think we’ll draw a line under the whole “of Olave” title. Whatever we call you, our Prize Winners tonight, may your dreams and aspirations be less doomed to failure than those of the Disney Olave and less bloody than those of our own Olave. May those dreams and aspirations be noble, worthy of your brilliance and challenging but achievable. Chairman, tonight celebrates the very great deal of hard work conducted by our students and their dedicated teachers and all concerned richly deserve to share in and enjoy this occasion of celebration. Outstanding exam results will open up the widest range of opportunities for these remarkable young people and I know that as they move on to university, and to bright careers beyond, they will take with them not only glowing results, but all that they have learnt during their time at St Olave’s Grammar School. To the outgoing Year 13, you have set a fantastic example for the new Year 13 to follow, you were led by a superb school captain, an excellent senior prefect team and you have been an absolute credit to the School and to your parents. It has been a wonderful privilege this evening to eulogise once again about this remarkable year group. I nearly said for a final time, but I hope that this is not the case. You will go on to bright and brilliant things in your lives beyond the school, and we look forward to sharing news of your future triumphs in the place where you are cherished and in which you will live long in the memory as an outstanding year group. You are the Young Olavians of today and the Old Olavians of tomorrow; once an Olavian, always an Olavian. On behalf of all of your teachers, I thank you all for your commitment and wish you every possible success and happiness for the future.

Prize Day Speech by James White, Head of Middle School

Challenging, difficult, not maximising their potential, lively, energetic, a handful, all words to describe the outgoing year 11 as they were handed to me at the end of year 9. How will they survive their GCSE years I thought? Well as you have already heard the examination results the year group produced were exceptional with 25 of the top performers here tonight to collect their prizes and it has been a privilege to see how these students have matured and developed over the course of the last 2 years.

When it comes to their academic studies, as well as the GCSE results our year 11 students have achieved a great deal more. 23 students undertook the Higher Project Qualification which enabled them to undertake a research study on an area of interest. The diverse range of research questions included a world without Rome, the probability of extra terrestrial life on exo-planets, how do ants behave and communicate and Why did the British Economy enter the recession and how can the national debt deficit be reduced?.

13 students received gold medals in the intermediate mathematics Olympiad including Tom Wang who gained a certificate of distinction as a top performer in the country. Akhil Sonthi took his passion for the subject even further by producing his own mathematics handbook, an ibook to help GCSE students understand different mathematical concepts.

The successes have followed in the ADT faculty with Team Linear coming 2nd in the Design Ventura competition at the design museum. This has resulted in them undertaking further product development with the hope of getting their product into the shops in the near future. The VEX Robotics finals were held at the NEC in Birmingham where the Year 11 team of Wilfred Kiondo, Oscar Hinze, Sean Seeds, Daniel Bakare and Nathan Lewis won the Build award for fantastic quality and design for the second year running. Bradley Sawyer also won 1st prize in the Stoneham Kitchen of the future design competition.

On the sports field year 11 have shone with the rugby squad having a very successful season with a number of players playing up higher in the senior 1st and 2nd XVs during the course of the year which is always the sign of a strong squad. The season finished with an unbeaten tour to Barcelona which capped a great year.

In the pool we are lucky enough to have one of the countries top swimmers in Theo Haslem who has recently competed at the Sainsbury’s School Games in Manchester winning the 50m freestyle, he also holds the London and County Youth records for 50m and 100m freetsyle. A phenomenal achievement.

The performing arts culture continues to thrive within the school and in year 11 in particular. A number of students participated in Showstoppers and the Shakespeare Trilogy but a particular highlight was the Ravindran brothers Jeevan and Mithiran directing Arthur Miller’s tale, A View From The Bridge. Mithiran then followed this up by completing his own short play for a national theatre competition.

Over 60 students have received full and team colours for their commitment to various clubs and societies. None more so than the newly established Polish, Tamal and programming clubs that have been set up by students in the year group. DoE continues to grow with nearly every member of the year group completing their Bronze certificates and many going on to complete their silver awards.

The entrepreneurial spirit of the year group was in full swing to raise money for our Festival charities with the fried chicken and hotdog stall selling out in record time and the dodgeball group making vast amounts of money from throwing balls at each other. Each form has also shown off their talents through year group assemblies with rap, acting and film directing being some of the highlights. These examples demonstrate the sorts of students we have in year 11 and we recognize 12 of these students tonight who receive form prizes for their contributions to the life of the form through their hard work, politeness and general Olavian spirit and attitude.

I will finish by returning to the opening of my speech and that is to celebrate the vast array of characters, personalities and individuals that have made the year group what it is. Not only have they set records as a year group they have shown it is possible to do so whilst maintaining the individuality that makes them so special. It has been a pleasure to help guide them through these two years and I look forward to seeing how they follow in the successes of our Year 13s who leave us tonight.

From one Old Olavian to a group still with time left, continue to make the most of the opportunities given to you and ensure you stamp your own mark on the school in the same creative and imaginative ways you have done. Don’t allow these years to pass you by without grabbing every opportunity available to you. Congratulations to you all and enjoy the rest of the evening.
