A BRIDGE TO YOUR FUTURE

BRIDGE ACADEMY MAGAZINE Hard Work Integrity Kindness

Dear Parents and Carers, Welcome to the new Bridge Academy magazine - we will be writing to you regularly so that you can stay up-do-date with all the fantastic things going on at Bridge!

This term has seen the resumption of external exams for Year 11 and 13 students. As is always the case at Bridge, they have risen to the challenge superbly and demonstrated maturity, focus and real togetherness. It has been a privilege to see and we wish them the very best of luck with their results in the summer. Of course, there has also been a huge amount going on besides these exams and I hope this magazine gives you a flavour of the many opportunities and successes that students have had.

Over the past three weeks, students in Years 7-10 and 12 have been completing their End of Year exams. They have worked tirelessly, revising to ensure that they can demonstrate the enormous amount they have learnt this year. They have utilised the revision packs and support materials provided by their teachers and I would like to commend them for their hard work and maturity shown during this period.

We will round off the year in style with our first ever, whole-academy sports day on Thursday 14th July at Finsbury Park Athletic Track, before bidding all students, and parents and carers, a very happy and relaxing summer!

Yours, Mr C Brown

Debate Mate Success Our Debate Mate students came 2nd place nationally at the Grand Finals of the prestigious competition. They successfully beat teams from across the UK in the initial two rounds, but narrowly missed out on the top spot to St Matthew Academy in Blackheath.

In the final, their topic for debate was ‘This House believes that technology has done more to disconnect than connect.’ They performed incredibly in front of a huge crowd including the finance team at Salesforce Tower. A massive well done to all debaters!

As students walked out of Hampton Court

Upon arrival students were greeted by the impressive palace building and expansive grounds. We started the visit in the ‘Great Kitchens’. Up to 800 courtiers accompanied Henry VIII when he stayed in Hampton Court, all of whom needed to be fed. As they walked around the kitchens students were able to see the variety of food that was made in the Tudor

kitchens and the efficiency of the staff that produced 1,600 meals a day.

Next, students moved onto Henry VIII’s private apartments. There they got to see where he slept, ate and relaxed, as well as the queen’s private apartments. As students explored Henry VIII’s apartments they could see playing out in real life what they had studied in their lessons. For example, Henry entwined the letters H and A on the wooden screen at the end of the Great Hall to celebrate his marriage to Anne Boleyn. After her fall from grace and subsequent execution, the king attempted to remove all reminders of Anne, but he didn’t remove all of them, and students were able to spot these as they toured the palace.

A visit to Hampton Court wouldn’t be complete without students having the opportunity to explore the many beautiful

Year 8 went to Southend-on-Sea for Cultural Capital Day. With hats and sun cream, the students made their way down to the Jubilee beach. Some beach football and tag rugby was played, as well as looking at how longshore drift works - timing how long it takes an apple to travel 2 meters in the sea. The highlight of the day was visiting Southend Sealife Aquarium; such a variety of fish and other aquatic animals made our students realise how biodiverse our oceans and rivers are and that we have a responsibility

Progression Fair Students in all year groups attended the Progression Fair where they could talk to a range of employers, apprenticeship providers, universities, Sixth Form and Further Education colleges, and gap year and volunteering organisations. There were 30 exhibitors in total.

Feedback was really positive:

Careers Insight Talks With COVID restrictions being lifted, we were able to re-start our Careers Insight talks which are open to students and parents and carers. The four talks covered a range of careers and career pathways including: careers in the low carbon economy, science, technology engineering and maths (STEM); the creative industries, media and communications; medicine, wellbeing and healthcare; and financial services, law, accountancy and business.

• 97% of students said the talks made them think about the different types of work that people do,

and that it made them think about the different types of skills and qualification people have • 95% said it helped them to understand more about careers and the world of work • 93% agreed with the statement “I learnt something new that will be useful to my future.

Comments included: “10 out of 10” (parent); “This opportunity was great and inspirational, related to all ages” (Year 9 student); “It was really good and I learnt a lot. Thank you for the talk” (Year 12 student).

Suggestions for talks in 2022/23 include careers in sports, real estate and property, hospitality, forensic science, architecture, and fashion.

University Visits Students in Years 7, 8, and 9 visited Queen Mary University of London. QMUL is a highly regarded Russell Group university and a popular destination for many Bridge Sixth Formers. Bridge students had a tour of the campus and worked with undergraduates on a variety of activities tailored to their age group enabling them to gain a better understanding of what life is like at university. They thoroughly enjoyed the visits and were a credit to the Academy.

Every Child A Musician The Music Department has been delighted to re-launch our Every Child a Musician programme this year, after the long pause of the pandemic. It has been a joy to see the students enjoying playing music together and developing their instrumental skills.

Students have diligently practised their instruments and worked hard both in class and in Enrichment. They have made outstanding progress and will be graduating on to a full sized model of their trombone, trumpet, saxophone or violin in Year 8. A recent highlight was the Year 7 Musical Showcase, where every student in the year group had the unique experience of playing in a large instrumental ensemble.

This spectacular event was something we hope the students will always remember.

Congratulations Year 7 musicians; we look forward to seeing you all continue your musical journey through Bridge Academy!

Arsenal Emirates Stadium Tour Arguably one of the most successful clubs in English football, Arsenal Football Club was generous enough to host a small group of Year 10 students at the Emirates Stadium for some football, fandom, and excitement. They were able to get a glimpse into the inner world of the club, players, staff, and journalists on match day.

The tour started with a sneak peek into the press rooms beneath the stadium stands, where the students sat under the spotlight of the press conference stage as if being questioned post-match by eagerly awaiting journalists. The students then got the chance to show off their rather impressive football skills on the main pitch, before touring through the team’s changing rooms and manager’s lounge to explore where Alexandre Lacazette, Mikel

Arteta and the rest of the team prepare for kick off.

After the students put on a fantastic display on the main pitch, they all took a short break in the Director’s Lounge to admire the greatest view in the house (sadly not being allowed to test out the heated, cushioned seats that the lounge had on offer). They then enjoyed some time basking in the success of both the Arsenal women’s and men’s teams, viewing the trophy cabinets and reminiscing about players past and present, cup wins and past achievements. Whether fans of the club or not, the students had an amazing tour and truly memorable experience. The unique and exclusive experience of putting a goal in the back of the net on the main pitch will be a cherished memory for years to come.

“They then enjoyed some time basking in the success of both the Arsenal women’s and men’s teams, viewing the trophy cabinets”.

PSHE Day Bridge Academy hosted its first ever, school wide PSHE (Personal, Social, Health, and Economic Education) Day on 17th June 2022. Multiple external agencies taught our students a diverse and sensitive range of topics in a captivating and skilful manner. Feedback from staff and students alike has been overwhelmingly positive. They were grateful for the expertise and enthusiasm of the facilitators.

A particular success story was Chickenshed, a performing arts group which lead workshops on county lines and gang violence with Year 9.

According to tutors, students were sceptical when they began watching the enigmatic performance, the story of youth who gets entangled in a gang. However, within twenty minutes students were “at the edges of their seats, glued to the performance.” This led to their absolute immersion in the workshops where even the quieter students engaged in creating performances of their own.

Year 10 had the privilege of attending sessions with Equaliteach on ‘Community Cohesion and Rejecting Racism’. These young and approachable volunteers had powerful and honest discussions with students and both sides were impressed by the maturity and integrity with which the discussions were conducted.

12

Year 7 received workshops from Forward, SelfEsteem Team and Tender, while Young Hackney and Place2Be provided engaging sessions for Year 8.

Forward led important and sensitive sessions on FGM and students provided valuable feedback: “While some of the information was shocking they were grateful they knew about it now because they felt more empowered to have sincere conversations about it.” Tender led interactive sessions with students about healthy and unhealthy relationships about which, tutors relayed that “students had respectful and animated debates about the most important traits of healthy relationships.”

Young Hackney created a safe and inclusive space where students learned about gender, sexuality and relationships. Students asked questions and engaged in discussions in such a curious and inclusive manner it was humbling and gratifying to witness.

The day was topped by several facilitators expressing how impressed they were at the maturity and enthusiasm of our Bridge students. It is wonderful to see how appreciative students were to be taught by experts in these respective fields.

Sports Leaders support local Primary School Our Sports Leaders did an amazing job supporting with Sebright Primary School’s Annual Sports Day. They demonstrated outstanding leadership skills as well as huge amounts of hard work, integrity, and kindness while working with the children. Well done to all who took part.

Careers and Employability Day at UBS As part of our Progression Programme, all students in Year 8 spent the day at UBS offices in central London to gain an understanding of the world of work and the skills that are valued in the workplace. Students had the opportunity to demonstrate their creative and entrepreneurial skills by engaging in a business challenge. Students learnt how to develop their own skills of team work, communication, and delivering presentations and how these can be showcased to future employers. Students were also introduced to an assessment centre style problem which is often part of the employment selection process. Students discussed how to make effective CVs, with volunteers offering insights and support on how to structure these.

Students thoroughly enjoyed the day and found the activities very useful.

13

UBS Breakfast Club In the Summer Term, we have fortunately been able to resume one of our regular reading programmes in person: UBS Breakfast Club. This programme enables students to improve their reading comprehension and build their confidence through reading one-to-one with a volunteer from UBS. Books are chosen to help develop students’ enjoyment of reading, including promoting ‘The Keys to the Kingdom’ series by Garth Nix, of which UBS provided copies of the series’ first book, ‘Mister Monday’. We are looking forward to our final

Achievement Point Winners Well done to our Year 7 and 8 (pictured above) and Year 9 and 10 (pictured right) winners of Gold Achievement Point certificates. This means that they kept at least 98% of all available Achievement Points last half term by working hard and showing integrity and kindness. A fantastic achievement! Congratulations.

Whilst students ‘scrambled’ their brains at school, the attachment to their eggs was developing. As the days went on, what was initially just an egg to many was becoming so much more. Day 3 saw the boring, stock standard two carton of eggs becoming a rag tag group of characters. Students took the time to give their eggs name, give them faces, dress them up and come up with engaging and creative back stories. What they thought was going to be a chore and laborious left them with the same anxiety and emotional response they had been learning about weeks earlier.

Outstanding Artwork Well done to Year 13 student Ilayda who received a prize from The Worshipful Company of Painters and Stainers for her outstanding artwork.

Proud art teacher Ms Braithwaite received the following feedback from the organisers ‘The whole day was amazing, we had several of our Liverymen in attendance and they thought the work was outstanding. I do hope Ilayda enjoyed her day; she was a credit to your school.”

Theatre Visit: Six the Musical Year 10 Drama students enjoyed watching Six the Musical at the Vaudeville Theatre. The musical is about the six wives of Henry VIII and had lots of amazing singing and dancing in it.

Students also enjoyed a walk around Covent Garden to soak up the atmosphere and got the chance to see some street performers! All loved it.

16

Year 12 Theatre Visit In April, Year 12 A Level English Literature students visited the London Coliseum to see the English National Opera’s version of ‘The Handmaid’s Tale.’ Students and staff raved about the thrilling, darkly humorous production of Margaret Atwood’s classic feminist dystopia. The tale plunges viewers into the Republic of Gilead, where women have been entirely stripped of their rights

and freedoms. The thought-provoking work magnifies the issues of state control and the fragility of freedom. Many of our students are already planning their next opera trip! The English National Opera (ENO) offers a great scheme for students that offers free or heavily discounted tickets through their Access All Arias programme. More details can be found on their website at www.eno.org

BMX Sessions A number of our Year 7 students have been selected to take part in BMX sessions during PE. Their first lesson took place on the 14th June and will continue every Tuesday throughout the term.

Students began the session learning the very basics to riding effectively. ‘Level peddling’, ‘pumping’, and ‘squatting low’ were a few techniques taught during their BMX session. Students enjoyed practicing a wide range of skills on the bikes, as well exploring different terrains and safety techniques to best prepare them for future lessons. They eagerly await their next BMX sessions after having so much fun.

Visit to UCFB @ Wembley Stadium A group of year 12 students had the opportunity to step out onto the hallowed turf of English football at the beginning of May. They first learnt about the University College of Football Business (UCFB) at our careers fair in March. It was immediately clear that a university based at the infamous Wembley Stadium would be appealing to lots of Bridge students, especially our year 12 BTEC Sport cohort.

Ms Foster and Mrs Wilson accompanied the 15 excited students to UCFB, the home of the Three Lions.

The day started with UCFB staff taking the group to one of Wembley’s VIP boxes. Upon walking in, the students, most of whom had never been to Wembley, were speechless. They couldn’t believe their eyes and the uninterrupted view they had of the world-famous pitch. With UCFB staff, they spent the first couple of hours in the VIP box, listening to presentations on the courses they run — from sports psychology to football business — and how to apply for them. Presentations were followed with an activity where students had to come up with a new innovative sports product and explain it to the rest of the group. Every team came up with brilliant ideas but the winner was Psalm, who

18

incorporated her love of fashion and sport. Her idea was to create a football kit that can change colours and style using an app on your phone – watch out Nike!

The day finished with a tour of the stadium, including changing rooms, the conference room and a walk to where players lift the biggest prizes in football. The students were encouraged to scream “hello Wembley” to experience the stadium echo.

They had the chance to walk the tunnel and give a mock news conference (as if they were players).

All-in-all, it was a brilliant experience for this group of Sixth Formers, and a day that left them thinking about the many different opportunities available to them after Bridge.

Year 9 Go Plastic Fishing!

Bridge Academy are striving to become a more sustainable community and are delighted to have set up the Green Ambassadors student group.

In partnership with UBS, our Facilities Team has received coaching on how we can improve the building’s efficiency and we have been working with a group of students on how to incorporate sustainability into our culture at Bridge.

Finally, students returned to dry land and sorted the waste into recyclable and non-recyclables and were fundamentally saddened and impressed by how much waste they had fished out of the water. The students thoroughly enjoyed they day and found it an informative and insightful learning experience.

The Year 9 Plastic Fishing trip is one of the projects inspired from our sessions. Plastic waste was raised as a global and school community issue and students felt strongly that we should be creating solutions to this crisis. UBS put us in touch with Hubbub, an environmental charity, which has curated a wonderful experience with the Docklands Sailing Centre. Hubbub, and the team at the Docklands Sailing Centre, began an initiative several years ago to clean up the docks.

They joined together and built three boats out of recycled plastic. At 8,000 plastic water bottles each these boats glide effortlessly over the water and students had a fantastic time collecting waste, while getting a private tour of the Docklands from their enthusiastic skipper.

On the day, students took part in a workshop with Hubbub volunteers about global plastic consumption and waste. They learnt some staggering statistics – around 40 million plastic water bottles are sold daily in the UK and it takes 450 years to break down one plastic bottle. Students worked in teams to list their everyday plastic usage, tally up the single-use plastic they consumed and came up with alternative – next, they took to the water! Armed with their litter pickers they eagerly fished out litter from the docks, and even enjoyed some sunshine.

Students were shocked, and slightly intrigued at the variety of rubbish found, ranging from full, unopened bottles of lemonade and milk to fully inflated footballs and so much plastic packaging.

Author Visit On Wednesday 27th June, Patrice Lawrence visited Bridge as a welcome return for author visits after COVID-19 restrictions. Lawrence is one of the most popular authors in our Learning Resource Centre (LRC) - she is a British writer and journalist who has published fiction both for adults and children. She has won multiple awards, including the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize for Older Children and The Bookseller YA Book Prize. She delivered both talks to the whole of Year 7 and Year 8 and workshops with some of Bridge’s aspiring writers. Students were fascinated by her engaging talk and many were inspired to check out some of her books in our LRC, so much so that we need to order more copies!

21

Earth Science Day Talk On 16th June, the Year 10 Triple Science students had a visit from researchers from the Earth Science and Engineering Department of Imperial College London. They were shown the latest research on how the internal structure of the Earth was mapped using seismometers placed around the crust and also how the thickness of the crust can be determined over time using river erosion data.

Primary School Visits Students from local Primary Schools, including Queensbridge and Randal Cremer, have been fortunate to visit the Bridge Academy to experience science lessons delivered by Bridge Academy staff. They were able to experience lessons being taught in our state of the art science laboratories and were able to use equipment that they might otherwise not get to use in their Primary Schools, including using microscopes to look at cells and learnting about chemical reactions. We intend on extending this offer to other local Primary Schools and across different subject areas next year.

22

In anticipation for their module on space next year, students were given an introduction to space and shown the different methods of space exploration in addition to how resources crucial to modern day life may be mined from asteroids or planets in the future. To their credit, the students listened attentively throughout the session and represented the Academy well!

Mental Health Awareness Month Every year, during the month of May, the UK has a Mental Health Awareness Week to raise awareness of this important topic. The Mental Health Foundation sets a theme for the year, this year it was loneliness. During the week beginning 9 May 2022, Bridge students had sessions in tutor time dedicated to discussing the impact of loneliness on our mental health and the practical steps we can take to address it. All year groups also had an assembly delivered to them by Mr Aiba, our Mental

Health Lead, where he delved deeper into the areas discussed in the tutor sessions. Students were then set a challenge in assembly to tell Mr Aiba what they do when they are feeling lonely and how they manage it. We also welcomed a CAMHS worker in school who works with students on a Friday.

Farewell Year 13 To celebrate the end of the Year 13 exams and their time at Bridge, we held a Leavers Event on Friday 24th June in Central Square. The lovely evening gave staff the chance to congratulate the year group on all their hard work and say a final goodbye before results day. Food and drinks were in abundance, alongside speeches and music (chosen by the students). We wish all our Year 13 students the very best as they embark on their next chapters beyond Bridge.
