E.ON ENERGY CHALLENGE EXCITES A2
BUSINESS STUDIES STUDENTS
On 22 January an expert team of
finance business partners from E.ON
visited the school. The objective was
to engage and enthuse the A2 Business
Studies students into building a
sustainable energy or carbon reduction
business case from scratch in a day. This
initiative was to support the school’s
ethos in creating business links in the
wider community.
The following day, students travelled to
E.ON’s offices to pitch their business plans
in front of a group of leading E.ON Dragons,
including Mark Sherrard, the Head of E.ON
Sustainable Energy Finance Team.
The teams produced some original and
outstanding business ideas and created their
own marketing name. For example, Watts On
devised an energy saving app, SAEB produced
a self adjusting eco-bulb. Finally, Drain-ergy
produced a power generating system which
used turbines in drains. With the help of the
business mentors, students
in each group completed a
marketing plan and cash-flow
forecast for their business
idea.
Mrs Dimilta-Jones, Head
of Business Studies was
delighted with the outcome of
the event. She said: “It was a
great initiative. The skills the
students developed and the
energy and enthusiasm of the
E.ON mentors and students
were wonderful. This will
make a real difference to the
students’ ability to project manage a reallife product. All four pitches had such a lot
of creativity and passion to them, and were
fundamentally such good ideas.”
Martin Leake, Senior Business Partner Energy
Segments Finance, facilitated the event for
E.ON. Martin commented: “Outputs from
the initiative have been an unmitigated
success. I’m convinced that we have added
a huge amount of value to the school and to
the fantastic E.ON team that delivered this
initiative, and this is only the start.”
Mark Sherrard added: “I can see that there is
a great mutually beneficial opportunity here.
Let’s keep our eye on some of these students;
they may be
the future
of E.ON.
This was
a highly
successful
event!”

Getting in the habit!
Once again, the Year 8 Buddies are taking a lead role
in the tutor times of Year 7s by introducing them to
the ‘7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens’ based on the
best selling book by Sean Covey which discusses how
teenagers can become more independent and effective
by following seven basic habits. These range from being
proactive in every aspect of your life to planning and
prioritizing your daily life and responsibilities.
Each Tuesday, for nine weeks, our 15 Buddies, having
practised on the Monday, introduce a new habit through
activities and demonstrations.
If you are a Year 7 parent we suggest you ask your son or
daughter to teach you the habits as they learn them each
week. We highly recommend the habits as fantastic life
skills for people of all ages and you could read the teenage
or adult book or search the internet where there are a host
of ‘7 Habits’ resources to help with many aspects of life from
business to parenting.
At the end of the programme the recruitment campaign will
commence for the next group of Buddies, who will then be
trained ready to support Year 6 students as they begin their
transition into Emmanuel.
The Buddies:
Megan Brown, Obed Asiedu, Alex Jackson, Ruth Carver, Lexi Carnell,
Estelle Demfaliz, Rosie Bentham,Ellie Eden, Kyra Waldram, Francis Lee,
Faith Tucker, Hana Saed, Hafsah Ali, Bethany Taylor and Zara Riaz.

SHAKESPEARE’S
G LO B E T H E AT R E
EXPERIENCE
In December, Mr Aistrup and Ms Bell took a group of Year 10 English
Literature students, studying Macbeth, to Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre
in London. During the trip we were lucky enough to have a tour
of The Globe and even more privileged to have the opportunity to
participate in a Macbeth drama workshop with one of the actors
from the theatre. The drama workshop was specifically based on
the actions of the characters and the context of the scenes. The trip
to the Globe Theatre was extremely enjoyable as we were able to
experience the Shakespearean theatre, as it would have been when
plays were performed there. The acting
workshop was also very interactive and great
fun as we were able to take part in some
of the activities that would be used to help
actors get into character. The visit gave us
a better insight into Macbeth in particular
the true meanings behind specific words
and emotions, for our English Literature
assessment. On behalf of the Year 10 English
Literature group we give a huge thank you
to the English Department for giving us such
great opportunities.

ENRICHMENT OPPORTUNITIES
NOT TO BE MISSED!
On 24 January, Emmanuel held its
Spring Term ‘Extras Fayre’. The event
gave staff and students an opportunity
to explore the exciting and engaging
enrichment activities that are available
during lunchtimes and after school
at Emmanuel. The Hall, the Chapel
and the PE Department opened
their doors to hundreds of excited
students who had the chance to learn
about enrichment opportunities. In
the Chapel, the Chaplaincy Team
entertained and engaged students with
games and conversation, explaining
the exciting activities available at the
Showcase clubs. The PE Department
was extremely busy with many
students signing up for teams and coaching. In the Main School Hall, there was
a real buzz as the clubs did everything they could to encourage new members.
The Young Enterprise team were appealing to budding entrepreneurs to
purchase shares in a ‘company’ in order to understand the process of
floating a company on the stock market. The Science Clubs were doing live
experiments that included an eye-catching fiery vortex. There were numerous
staff and students on hand to explain the clubs and encourage new people
to get involved. The Enrichment opportunities available are all in the recently
published booklet and we encourage students of all year groups to attend a
club in order to deepen their learning experience.
Mr Ireson, Drama Teacher and Head of Blue House
Emmanuel students spent an action packed weekend taking
in the sights and culture of London for an Art and Textiles
residential on 11 and 12 January. They navigated the tube and
bustling streets of London to experience the best culture the city
has to offer. Tate Modern was the first port of call, with students
seeing works by Picasso and Dali amongst some of the most
successful and innovative artists of our time. With sketchbooks
and cameras at the ready, students made the most of this
opportunity to develop their own personal journey in art and
design. Stepping back in time, we
then went to the National Portrait
Gallery to gaze at artworks most
famously seen in history books
such as paintings of Henry VIII and
Charles I as well as a splash of
colour with Warhol’s screen prints
which were displayed alongside
portrait from contemporary artists.
Students embarked on a journey
through time at the National
History Museum on the second
day to gather more research, and some dinosaur bones from the
gift shop, of course. Finally, we visited the Victoria and Albert
Museum where students were amazed by the fashion through
time exhibition, furniture design, silverware, gold, paintings,
elaborate jewellery and the photography were on display in this
beautiful building. Students are now truly inspired to apply the
research that they have undertaken to produce their own designs
for their examined exhibitions.
Ms Barnes, Head of Art and Photography
This term there is an excited buzz in the
Emmanuel staff room, all because of the

B B C S C H O O L R E P O RT I S BAC K !
Over the course of this half term, a group of Year 8
students have started preparing for the annual News
Day organised by the BBC which, this year, will take
place on 27 March. Last year, school reporters from
more than 1,000 schools across the UK produced their
own news report.
Our news team have been researching various news
stories as young budding journalists but these will be
kept under wraps until the day of the broadcast! Last
year’s group of students produced exciting pieces such
as the impact of the new tram line on local residents
and interviewed Councillor Jane Urquhart, Portfolio
Holder for Planning and Transportation. In fact, the
group was so eager to repeat the experience that they
rejoined this year’s team as specialist mentors.
I feel privileged to be working with this group of highly
intellectual Year 8 and Year 9 students. Over the
coming weeks the students will be scripting and filming
their feature reports as well as practising reading the
news. We are all looking forward to a very successful
2014 News Report.

been re-branded to
change its image
from the heavily
industrialised
‘workshop of the
world’ to a hub

To i n v e s t i g a t e t h i s
re-branding, the A

GRACE CHURCH:
FOOD BANK SUPPORT
Hunger is a huge problem all over the world, but what
many people do not realise is that starvation is not just
a problem in developing countries. The average income
per household after tax in the UK is £16,000, whereas
in Nottingham it is only £11,000, which means that
numerous families struggle to feed their children on a
daily basis. The Sixth Form have established links with
a food bank, based at Grace Church in the city centre,
which supports those who cannot afford to buy food.
They provide emergency food parcels for residents in
Nottingham, as well as offering support and advice about
services that can help people to move forward. People
in need are referred to the Grace Church Food Bank
from agencies across the city. As a Sixth Form, we have
decided to select this organisation to help raise awareness
of those less fortunate than ourselves and we ask that
you help us to give donations of non-perishable food to
support this cause and help people in your city.

After a long day of exploring the city and face

environments and communities.

Support for
Typhoon Haiyan Victims
Non School Uniform Day
Philippians 2:4 – “Do not merely look out for your own personal
interests, but also for the interests of others.”
We are extremely proud of the excellent way in which our staff and
students have engaged with service across the school, living out our
mission ‘Together to learn, to grow, to serve’. As you will be aware
each house across the school supports a different charity and over
the course of this academic year, there are a number of events and
activities involving large numbers of our school community. Some of
these focus on giving money or gifts, whilst at other times we give of
our time; praying on our own, or together with friends and family is
also really encouraged. When we heard of the devastating news of
Typhoon Haiyan that swept through the Philippines, students wanted
to show their support and compassion by organising a non-uniform
day inviting students to donate £2 each. On 6 December, we were
delighted with the support of both students and staff who dressed in
their house colour and together raised £2125.68 which has been sent
directly to those in need.
Thank you so much for, once again, helping to make a positive
difference to the lives of others devastated by this disaster. Please
continue to remember the fantastic work of so many charities and
agencies across the world, in your prayers.

Inter-House Spelling
As part of our literacy programme we encouraged
each house to select representatives to partake in
our Inter-House spelling Competition. There was
tension, competitiveness and a real determination
to be the first team to spell an array of nonnegotiable words in a pressurised environment.
In round 1, students were asked as teams to
spell 15 key subject words but as the competition
progressed over the week the difficulty of these
spellings increased.
Overall, scoring was high for every year group
which was great to see and representatives were
a credit to their houses. Heads of House were
there to support the teams and get tips in time
for their staff competition. It was fantastic to see
KS3 students spell ‘chronology’ correctly in the
quick fire round. Great team skills and enthusiasm
meant there were not many errors which shows the
importance of working together to achieve. We are
now waiting with bated breath for the results which
will be announced by the Heads of House at the
end of term.

TINY BABIES APPEAL:
RED HOUSE IN SERVICE
On 23 December, four students from Red House
accompanied by Mr J. Irons and Mrs Wilkins
set up a Christmas stall at the Queen’s Medical
Centre to raise money for the Nottingham
Hospitals Charity’s Tiny Babies Appeal. The
appeal is vital in helping to provide state-of-theart equipment, carrying out research to improve
care for tiny patients, and supporting parents and families who have premature or sick newborn
babies at the Neonatal Unit.
The week before, students from the House had spent tutor times creating different craft items
such as gift bags, jewellery and Christmas decorations for their stall. Staff and students had also
donated gifts ranging from cakes, cards, clothing and much more.
Mr Irons, Head of House, said “We raised over £300 for the Tiny Babies Appeal. We also visited
E39 and E40, two of the children’s wards where we gave the children gifts from the stall. The day,
although challenging, was very rewarding especially when we saw the smile on the children’s faces
when they received the gifts. We look forward to setting up a stall again in March to fundraise
for such a good cause.”
Red House continues to raise awareness fo this worthy cause through the Knitting Club.
Students and staff have worked diligently to produce an incredible amount of knitwear. So far,
they have knitted in excess of one hundred items and we continue to add to this figure.

Extended Project Visit
to the Nottingham Trent
University Library
On 10 January, Sixth Form students
who are participating in the Extended
Project Qualification (EPQ), as part
of their Core Programme, visited the
Nottingham Trent University Boots
Library.
For the EPQ, students choose
a topic which they
must research in depth
before writing a 5000
word essay. The trip
offered students the
opportunity to become
familiar with how to use a University Library and they were
shown how to locate and access books at the City campus
and at Clifton. They were also taught how to use the online
journal articles of which there are over 10,000 different titles.

information available, quality not quantity is the key to
successfully writing essays and assignments. It is also hoped
that this kind of visit will act as prep for their studies in
higher education.

Simon Gray, entrepreneur, Managing Director
of Career Codex and published author who
gave an insight into business practices
and how best to prepare for the world of
work including producing an engaging CV
ready and having a well thought out action

took part in a question and answer session
with Simon after his talk. It is a fantastic
opportunity for our students to be able to

local Eco artist Sarah Turner.

The students were
intrigued and inspired
by the variety of things
that can be created using
recycled plastic, cross tape,
lighting gels, old tapes, bottle tops, and even
felt tip pens provided inspiration and colour for
our artists.
It is hoped that the project will drive home the
message of reducing, reusing and recycling
materials.

“I think it is really good for us to have this chance
to work with an artist and to learn new techniques and
how to use recycling material rather than throwing it

DIOCESE PANELS INSTALLEDS
Mads Bundgaard-Norlov and Kyra Waldram visited the
panels they created at the Jubilee House in Southwell on
9 January. It was amazing to see 175 images created by 71
different schools installed in a fabulous display following
the story of the Bible. Work representing students aged 4 to
18 years of age reflect the journey of creativity throughout
school life.
The organisers wanted to show the family bond between
the Church of England schools in the Diocese. Sheila
Barker, the Assistant Director of Schools, was delighted
by the amount of work and was glad she didn’t have the
tough decision of deciding which artworks were finally
shown. Winners were selected based on how well the image
reflected the Bible passage they were given. The work truly
reflects the ethos of our school.

Having a now rich history of success in the city

across all year groups over the last 4 years),
our girls felt the pressure to perform well. They
entered the finals in somewhat shaky form, having
lost twice to Farnborough in the opening rounds
and struggling against Nottingham Academy
and Djanogly. However they rose to the occasion
and developed their confidence as they eased past
Bulwell in the semi-final 18-9. They then had to take
on Farnborough in the final, who were sporting two
Nottingham Wildcats (National League) players. Our girls
exceeded our expectations and were only one point
behind Farnborough. Then in the dying seconds of the
