Deputy’s Dispatch
Welcome to the final edition of the Comet for this academic
year – and what a year it’s been! Full of fresh starts, new
developments and exciting improvements across the College.
Our new website – which is now live – is a breath of fresh
air, showing off the College to its very best and showcasing
our students’ skills and talents. It’s a mine of useful
information in a very user friendly format and styled with
our gorgeous new branding.
Our new branding! A sign of our development over the last couple of years into a College that provides
education for the future with a full wrap around service whether you are a toddler attending our
outstanding nursery or a member of the community who has accessed the fantastic array of adult
learning courses that will be further expanded in the coming year.
The new uniform is another example of our progress this year. The new Year 9 cohort will look amazing
based upon the Move Up Evening fashion show we saw earlier in the month. If you are a parent of a
child in Y10 and Y11 who wishes to wear the new uniform, orders can be placed via the Sportswear
International website: www.swi.co.uk from August 24th thereby enabling accurate sizes of items to be
purchased prior to the start of the new year. Please be aware that we will be enforcing our uniform
code relating to style of trousers and length of skirt, along with the type of shoes that are expected very
strongly. If you are unsure about the type of skirts, trousers or shoes, please do not hesitate to contact
us. College reception will be manned over the holiday from 9am until 3pm each day. The Finance Office
will be open in the last couple of weeks of the holiday.
There are also some changes to our student learning and support team in September. New Year 9
students will continue to be supported by Mr Griffin and Mr Bowden with Mrs Dibble picking up the
current Y9 cohort. Mrs Cranna will continue to lead the current Y10s as they move into Y11, with Mr
Ansell moving from the post of Year Team Leader to Behaviour & Engagement Co-ordinator, supporting
students across the College.
I want to take this opportunity to thank all parents and carers for the ongoing support of your children and
the College. Our ultimate aim is to provide outstanding progress, support and challenge in everything we do;
this can only be achieved with your complete support. We know that when we work closely with parents and
carers, students fulfil their potential and make the very best progress.
Please enjoy the holiday and this gorgeous weather with your children, and I look forward to working with you
further in the new academic year. As always, if you have any questions or queries, please don’t hesitate to
contact us – we pride ourselves on resolving issues quickly and have high expectations of our students and
staff in terms of support, behaviour and the overall experience you have in working with us.
I wish you a happy, healthy and enjoyable summer break – see you in September!

Post 16 Presentation Evening
The College marked a fantastic year of achievement at its Post 16 Presentation Evening on Thursday 27th June.
Students, their parents, staff, governors, the Mayor of Minehead, Councillors, Rotarians and other special
guests came together to celebrate the successes of the College's 6th Form students in style. Guests were treated to an evening of musical performances, inspiring speeches and fantastic catering from the Hospitality students ably assisted by students from Foxes Academy.
Over 50 awards were presented to students who had achieved both academic and vocational excellence as well
as recognising those students who had made outstanding contributions to college life.
Guest speaker was ex-student Adam Mills who is now the Manager of Lloyds Bank in Minehead. He spoke of his
time at the College and how, had it not been for “the encouragement *he+ received in the 6th Form, he wouldn't
be where he was today.” He told learners how moving back to West Somerset was the best thing he had ever
done as it was a fantastic place to live and work and he encouraged students to go on and do great things as you
“get out of life what you put into it.”
Subject Awards were presented to students who had consistently excelled throughout the year. Subject
Leaders spoke of students’ exceptional achievement and dedication to their chosen subjects - many teachers
had found it difficult making a final choice as to whom to nominate as there were such high standards across
the student body.
Alex Christmas, who picked up 3 subject awards in Science and Maths as well as the prestigious Alan Bright
Award for the Most Outstanding 6th Form Scientist, is going on to read Medicine at the University of Dundee.
She said that she was thrilled to receive her awards and was pleased she had opted for the College 6th form as
she feels she has benefited from smaller class sizes and more individual attention. Curriculum Team Leader for
Science, Mark James, said that he was delighted that Alex would be training as a doctor and was excited by the
fact that she would help shape the future of medicine.
However, the evening wasn't just about celebrating academic success as the College's vocational students were
also recognized for their outstanding achievements in their chosen fields. Marguerite Bowden, Assistant
Principal for Vocational Studies, said: “The levels of achievement in vocational areas from this year’s students
have been inspiring and the standards of the College's vocational courses complement those of the academic
with many students going on to highly successful careers.”
Mrs Bowden was joined by Rotarian Treasurer, Peter Conrad to present the Rotary Centenary Award for
Excellent Achievement in Vocational Enterprise to Hospitality student Charlee Todd, whose exceptional skills
have helped her secure a job running the College's Mobile Kitchen.
Other special awards included the Nikki Archer Awards for Art and English, Outstanding Apprentice Award,
Endeavour Award and the Exmoor Trust Farm Student of the Year.
This year’s prestigious Governors’ Award, which recognises exceptional achievement and contribution to
College life, was presented to Megan Peeks whose participation in numerous College groups, together with
commitment and achievement in her academic studies, was praised by Chair of Governors, Martin McNeill.
Earlier in the evening Megan had collected subject awards for Art and Geography and is going on to read
Architecture at the University of the West of England. Megan said that she had enjoyed her time at College and
her teachers had “gone the extra mile to help her.”
Martin McNeill rounded off the evening speaking of the College's pride in such gifted students and his delight
with the record number of University applications this year which shows that the future of West Somerset is
looking very bright indeed.

KS3 & KS4 Presentation Evenibg
Over 250 students, parents, governors and staff came together on Thursday 11th July to celebrate the
achievements of the College’s year 9, 10 and 11 students over the past academic year. The annual event saw
over 100 awards given out to students who have demonstrated outstanding progress, achievement and
contribution to college life. Special guests at the event included the Mayor of Minehead, Val Welch, and Roger
Andrews and Delia Paveling from the Minehead Rotary Club.
Awards for improvement and attainment were given to those students who had achieved considerable
academic success during the year. Winners included Tegan Davis who achieved 100% in her textiles work and
Holly Bale who saw off 330 other students to win this year’s Year 9 Spelling Bee and take home the Spelling Bee
Shield.
There were also a number of firsts at the awards with both William Hole and Abigail Smith being presented with
awards for an exceptional 100% attendance throughout their three years at the College, the first time two
students have achieved this at the same time.
All areas of the College’s diverse curriculum were celebrated with students who had demonstrated outstanding
achievement in vocational areas being rewarded alongside those who had achieved academically. It also
highlighted that the arts are very much an important part of the curriculum with exceptional music
performances from Vicky Ellis and Mia Borthwick, accompanied by Rupert Hawkins - Vicky went on to win the
progress award in Music.
Alongside subject awards, students were also recognised for their contribution to life within the College and the
wider community, including Emma Scott who has significantly contributed to the College’s Fair Trade Initiative
and Mark Matravers who was praised for his role in showing the College’s farm animals as well as his support at
Open Days.
Among the other winners were Eleanor Fletcher and Mason Hawker who were both presented with the subject
award for English. Mason also received the Nick Swann Endeavour Award while Eleanor scooped a further six
certificates.
This year’s prestigious Principal’s Award, which is given to the Year 11 student who has achieved high academic
standards and made a significant contribution to the life of the College, was presented to Edward Griffin. Ed also
won subject awards in Art and Physics as well as an award for his contribution to extra curricular activities. He is
also involved in both the Duke of Edinburgh Award programme and the Ugandan Exchange and will be
continuing his studies in Year 12.
The evening was bought to a close by Chair of Governors, Martin McNeill, who congratulated students on their
fantastic achievements and acknowledged the significant contribution of students’ parents and guardians whose
support and encouragement enable them to make such outstanding achievements. Mr McNeill highlighted the
breadth of the College’s Post 16 provision which includes academic and vocational training as well as
apprenticeships and, this year, has seen a record number of university applications. He concluded by
encouraging the students to come back in September “ready to fly!’

Enterprising Student to Run Mobile Kitchen
When Adrian Fleming, Subject Leader for Hospitality, said he was so impressed with student Charlee Todd’s
enterprising skills he wanted to give her a job he wasn’t joking. The College has recently invested in a mobile
catering unit which will be run as a part of the Combe restaurant and they can’t think of anyone better to run it
than Charlee.
Charlee, who has just completed a BTEC Level 3 Diploma in Hospitality and won both the Subject Award for
Hospitality and the Rotary Centenary Award for Excellent Achievement in Vocational Enterprise at the recent
Post 16 Presentation Evening, will now be going on to a dream career running a catering business.
The Combe Mobile Kitchen will be travelling across the South West providing high-end street food to hungry
event goers and will also be available to hire for weddings and private events.
The mobile kitchen was funded by EDF as part of the Hinkley Enterprise Project which provides high quality
training and work-based learning to support those wishing to start or develop a business. The project focuses on
equipping people with enterprise skills and helping them learn how to set up a business as well as providing
local businesses with the training they need to develop their workforce.
Assistant Principal of Vocational Education Marguerite Bowden said:
“This is a fantastic facility for the College, allowing our Hospitality students to gain experience in a different
working environment and enabling them to gain the skills needed to set up their own businesses. We are
committed to preparing people in the local community to take advantage of the developments that will be in the
area in the future and are helping them to be more enterprising.
We are delighted that Charlee will be at the helm of this new venture and her exceptional ability is a testament
to the fantastic training provision we have available at the College.”
Charlee who was inspired to take
up a career in Hospitality by her
two granddads who both worked
as chefs said:
“It has always been a dream of
mine to run a hospitality business.
My granddad ran a hotel in
Minehead and I wanted to follow
in his footsteps. I wanted to go
straight into industry so the BTEC
has been a great route for me to
take and this really exciting
opportunity will give me the
chance to introduce something a
bit different to the local catering
market.”
You can see The Combe Mobile Kitchen in action at a range of local events during the summer and if you would
like to find out more about wedding and private event catering on offer please email

College’s Arts Evening Best One Yet
There was a real buzz in the Art Department on 4th July as
over 100 people flocked to the annual Arts Evening. The
event, which has been running for over 15 years, enables
parents, staff, and the local community to
celebrate the achievements of students in expressive arts
over the past academic year.
Visitors were able to view work by students from all year
groups including this year’s GCSE and A Level Art coursework
pieces. The exhibition which spanned three rooms also
included work from theTextile and Media students.
During the course of the evening there were performances
from Drama students and Music students performed a live
lounge style set for visitors.
Acting Subject Leader for Art Keith Crocker said:
“This year’s Arts Evening has been one of the best we have
ever had. The quality of the work gets better year on year and
this year has been exceptional, I expect that there will be
some great achievements at both GCSE and A Level.”
The Arts Evening will be even bigger and better next year
as we are adding A Level Photography to our Post 16
curriculum, thereby giving students the opportunity to study the subject locally. For more information contact
01643 700340 or [email protected]

County Volleyball Champions
On Saturday 6th July, the College took a rounders and a
volleyball team to the Somerset Sports Festival at
Millfield. In the searing heat both teams competed
against the best in Somerset. The rounders team came
4th and the volleyball team finished as county champions.
The team developed as the competition progressed and
after losing an early round game they proceeded to beat
teams from Castle, Heathfield, Bishop Fox’s,
Huish Episcopi and Taunton Academy Schools. Keeping a
watchful eye on future stars was Olympian
Zara Dampney who represented Great Britain at the
2012 London Olympics. All players excelled in their roles
on court and showed great confidence in the final play-off
match v Huish Episcopi.
Pictured with Zara Dampney are Jack Eveleigh, Gemma Chilcott, Charlotte Jennings and Darren Hobbs.

How quickly the year has gone!!
We now bid our current Year 9s farewell as they move into Year 10 and under the guidance and direction of
Mrs Dibble. Mr Griffin, Mr Bowden and Mrs Moulder will be welcoming the new Year 9s in September to the
WSC. It has been an enjoyable year and there will be lasting memories of the various trips and also the many
successes including the girls’ hockey and boys’ rugby. We wish you all success for the future.
Mr Bowden, Mr Griffin and Mrs Moulder
Year 9 Highlights of the Year
Throughout this year we believe that as a year group we have each, individually, developed our knowledge and
approach to everyday life. The College has undergone many changes during this year which have been accepted
by you, the students, some more respectfully than others! We have enjoyed a number of College trips such as
the bowling at the start of the year, Cribbs Causeway shopping at Christmas and the London trip to watch the
musical Wicked. For these trips we owe a great thanks to our present year team leaders, Mr Bowden, Mr Griffin
and Mrs Moulder, who have guided us through this year and will be transferring us into year 10 to Mrs Dibble,
Mr Price and Mrs Langdon. Other entertaining trips have been the geography trip to Blue Anchor and the
amazing Thorpe Park trip.
Alongside these trips there have been many more highlights such as the talent-packed Christmas show, the nonschool uniform charity days and the Get Active competitions. We also cannot forget the ever eventful mentor
challenges; rounders, tug of war and quizzes.
Our mentors have also played a huge role during the course of this year. They have been the ones who have
closely monitored our progress and participation in our studies and have also watched us grow as people.
We wish everyone the best of luck in the next two years of College which, we're sure, will be a productive, yet
surprising gateway to our futures. Have a good summer! Adios, Auf Wiedersehen, au revoir.

WSCC FARM ARTICLE
By Liam Haran
9GJC
Welcome to the last farm article this year (upset!)
This year we’ve had an amazing time at the farm. I think I can speak for all the farm leaders when I say it was a
blast being a farm leader. Having responsibilities as a leader in Year 9 is a very good thing
We’ve had new arrivals at the farm like the new piglets that were born, a few new cows, plus an award
winning cow.
We had our lambing day as well in March - it was nice to see the new born lambs.
And we had our very successful farm open day which was a really fun day out for all the family.

Year 10: They’re a Knock Out!
It’s a Knock Out
The final set of mentor challenges for this year was a competition where students in Y10 had to show their
teamwork, ingenuity and steadiness of hand. There were 3 competitions running. The first was to build the
tallest tower from a completely random set of Lego. The second was to cut out and make the longest paper
dolly chain they could and the final test was a knockout competition of giant Jenga.
Mentors and mentor groups were certainly charged up and desperate to be the best. As a result all three
competitions were hotly contested.
The winners were
Lego tower 10JA (joker played therefore double points)
Giant Jenga 10JL (joker played therefore double points)
Paper dolly chain a draw between 10EK and 10CJ
Congratulations to the winners and well done to all the other groups who joined in with the spirit of the
competition.
Mocks
The Y10 mock exams and GCSE science exams seems a long way away already but I would like to congratulate
the Year Group on their behaviour and conduct during the exam. The invigilators, who set up the exams and
monitor the work and behaviour during the exams, were very impressed by the behaviour of the vast majority
of the students who sat exams. I would also like to say how impressed I was with the way students responded
as they lined up ready to enter the exam hall. Only one small moan but regardless something to remember for
next year - always bring a black pen and make sure you have the right equipment for each exam.
Active Learning Week
Whilst Y9 were enjoying their activities Y10 had a different experience. With some of the Year Group in
Germany on the exchange and others doing work experience the rest had a range of different challenges to
face. Two days of the week were down to the Year Team to plan.
Monday
On the Monday the students were split into 3 groups and had a carousel of activities to do. One session was on
team building activities where they had to negotiate their way through a maze, blindfolded and guided by a
partner. There was blanket volleyball where teams of two or four, each holding a corner of a blanket or towel,
had to play volleyball and the human knot where the team had to unravel themselves to form a circle. You will
see from the photographs that the students got fully involved with all the challenges.
There was also a session lead by the Fire Service relating to being safe in cars as a passenger and, thinking
ahead, to when the Y10s are drivers themselves. The final session of the day was led by Mrs Bowden and her
team and this related to post 16 choices and in particular modern apprenticeships. A massive thank you must go
to Mrs Reeson who organised the vast majority of the day.

better than words.
Y10 Cancer Fundraiser
As I have reported in previous editions of The Comet the Y10 charity focus for this year has been Cancer
Research. So far the year group has raised over £1000 and they are currently working on their final fundraiser of
the year. This is a “Privilege Raffle”. The winner of the raffle will receive VIP treatment for the day having their
own PA, VIP seating for the end of term entertainment, a special lunch and a goody bag. I would like to thank all
the Year Council for their hard work this year and also Mrs Wainwright for her support, guidance and sometime
refereeing skills of the council.
Charity ride
Holly Murley will be giving up two weeks of her summer holiday to support a sponsored cycle ride from John
O’Groats to Land’s End. The ride is in aid St Margaret’s Hospice and will start on 27th July ending up at the end of
Cornwall ten days later. All monies raised will go directly to St Margaret’s. If you want to find out more you can
go to www.teammoisy.com where you can find details of how you can support the fundraising effort. Good luck
Holly, I hope the weather holds.
Changing roles
So I come to the end of my last Comet report as a Head of Year. After having been a Deputy Head of Year, Head
of House and Head of Year for the last 21 years, at the end of term I step down from this role. However, my
new position at the College means that I will be able to focus on aspects of student College life that I feel quite
passionate about. I’ll be leaving the Year group in the safe hands of Mrs Cranna and Mrs Reeson but I will not
lose touch with them because I will be developing student leadership and engagement within the College and I
know that there are many in this year group who I want to see getting involved with this side of College life.
However, I will miss the daily contact with the students, from a Year Group point of view, even though I will
undoubtedly still have contact with them in my new role. So on to pastures news. The Y10 Comet article is all
yours Mrs Cranna!

Year 11 Prom 2013:
The Year 11 Prom was a great success and thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Hosted at the Crazy Horse venue
in Butlin’s, the students had transformed the space into a myriad of lights and balloons arranged around the
central stage which was dominated by an awesome amount of high-tech disco equipment provided by DJs Pete
and T.N.T. There was even a very popular photography studio set up by William Sykes to record the students in
their finery.
The Grand Arrival looked likely to be affected by rain but the weather held off and a superb array of vehicles
arrived - from vintage classic cars to tractors and an open-topped bus (a brave choice given the weather but it
paid off) - from which cascaded almost two hundred immaculately groomed young ladies and gentlemen.
Almost as soon as the first guests arrived DJs Pete and T.N.T. began a high energy performance which lasted
right through the evening. At one point well over a hundred staff and students were on the dance floor being
encouraged and led by the DJs in an ever changing round of more and more extravagant costumes.
With a huge buffet and a bar selling non-alcoholic ‘mocktails’ a fantastic evening was had by all. Thanks are
extended to the Prom Committee for their tireless efforts and for making the venue so beautiful on the night.
Thanks are also due to the staff of Butlin’s for their on-going support and encouragement.

Technology Exhibition Evening
On Tuesday the 9th July, the College Design Technology
Department hosted its annual GCSE and A Level work
Exhibition Evening. The event was also the Grand Final of
the Year 9 Enterprise Project, in which students designed
solutions to briefs written in collaboration with local
businesses and community groups; Lee Abbey, Minehead
Cycling Club, Minehead Rotary Club and Nutcombe
Chocolates.
Over a hundred students, parents and members of the
public crowded into the Department’s workshops, where
they were invited to view, and taste, some of the best
GCSE and A Level work of 2012. Students presented work to their families, their peers, College staff, members
of the College governing body and other members of the community. Examples of projects on display ranged
from an electronic timer designed for the Minehead Quiz League to a Disneyland inspired meal and from a cat
activity centre to a prom dress.
For the Finals of the Year 9 Enterprise Project, representatives of participating local businesses gave feedback
to students, and selected winners as follows.
For designing and making:
Products to be sold in the gift shop at Lee Abbey: Holly Bale, Chloe Blackwell, Brittany Gregory and
Rebecca Lowen,
Trophies for Minehead Cycling Club’s hill climb up Porlock Toll Road on the 29th of September:
Yasmin Fletcher and Charlie Beaver,
Water Bottle Rocket Cars for Minehead Rotary Club’s Summer STEM Tournament: Alfie Cripps,
Josh O’Connor and Aaron Sebright,
60th anniversary chocolate bars for Nutcombe Chocolates: Holly Abraham, Emily Oliver and
Hannah Thompson
Teaching staff would like to congratulate the winners. Congratulations also should go to the runners-up and
finalists in each category. Thanks to our business partners; Sally and Mark Scyner of Lee Abbey, Bernie
Mitchell and Paul Butcher of Minehead Cycling Club, Joe Peake and Roger Andrews of Minehead Rotary Club
and Richard and Lorna Robbins of Nutcombe Chocolates. Thank you also to all members of the Design
Technology team, all the staff and people of West Somerset who support us.
This has been a really positive and uplifting end to the academic year and we wish our young designers every

PENNE’S POST

Loads of Toads!
The College will soon be supplying Fire-Bellied
Toads to the national pet market. David Thorne
(13DP), studying a Level 3 Course in Animal
Management, has successfully bred Oriental FireBellied Toads (Bombina orientalis) as part of his
extended project. Oriental Fire-Bellied Toads come
from North Eastern China, Korea, southern Japan,
and southern parts of Russia, and remain a popular
pet here in the UK.
The “toadlets” will be rehomed to Peregrine
Livefoods a mainstream supplier to pet shops in
the UK. The College is pleased to have set up a
relationship with the national pet supplier, as
students will continue to work on breeding programmes, producing stock ready for the pet market.
Sally Goldthorpe spokeswoman for Peregrine Livefoods said:
“Peregrine Livefoods, the largest wholesaler of reptile products in the UK, are delighted to be working with the
College. As a company dedicated to responsible captive breeding of reptile species, it is great to see that there
are young breeders such as David engaging in such projects, ensuring that supply of quality UK captive bred
stock continues.”
The arrangement has benefits for all; the College will generate extra income to invest in new equipment and, in
turn, animals bred at the College will result in fewer creatures being caught in the wild. Additional stock has
been supplied to The Pet Centre, Alcombe, Minehead, who have been working with the College and its exotic
animal collection for the past 6 years.
David set the colony of toads ready for breeding in early spring by raising the water level and humidity in their
enclosure, at the same time increasing their feeding to simulate the wild conditions around mating season. The
female then laid a clutch of around 200 eggs, which hatched into tadpoles after 3 days. Four weeks later they
metamorphosed into baby toads and were removed from the adults, to ensure their parents did not eat them!
David said: “This was an excellent project for me to work on during the final year of my Extended Certificate in
Animal Management, and has given me a great insight into keeping and breeding amphibians.”
Animal Management Teacher, Lee Jenkins commented: “This has been a tremendous project, one of many we
are running, where students can get involved with captive breeding programmes of animal species, while
working with the local community and mainstream suppliers. We are keen to ease the burden on wild caught
stock, by breeding species within the College”

End of year review for Design Technology 2012-2013
From an academic point of view, we started the year with the positive news that
our GCSE students had achieved an A*-C rate of 70% (only 1% off our best ever
results from 2010) and 100% A*-G. The figure of 70% put our department 7%
above the national average A*-C rate for DT of 63%. A Level students had also
achieved a 100% pass rate.
At Year 9, we had our second highest level of students achieving the equivalent of
a National Curriculum Level 8. Also this year, the Year 9 curriculum continued to
develop, with 78% of the students achieving or bettering their target grade, and
20% achieving an A or A* overall. It is no surprise that that same 20% we also
awarded reached the Expert Student targets we set at the start of the year and
were rewarded accordingly. This year, the best overall student was Megan Cox who scored an average of 93%!
This academic year has been tinged by a degree of sadness - our Subject Leader for Food Technology, Mrs Pam
Stevens, retired from teaching after over 30 years working at the College. The fact that her retirement coincided
with the British Lions tour of Australia was not surprising! As a friend and colleague, Mrs Stevens will be greatly
missed, but we are sure her replacement, Ms Amanda Quartly, an ex-student of the College, will settle in well.
In fact Mrs Stevens has kindly offered her support as Ms Quartly ‘gets her feet in the door’.
During the year, some of our regular events continued:
Under Mr. Reeson’s guidance, the College’s Greenpower team reached the national final for the seventh
consecutive year.
GCSE Food and Textiles students travelled with staff to Disneyland Paris in January. They experienced a
variety of seminars and learnt much about themselves, including how to order in French, how to be brave
on the rides and how big businesses cope with so many guests!
The Minehead Rotary Club STEM tournament expanded this year and included students from Danesfield
school as well as Minehead Middle and the College.
In addition, we have been involved in a number of new events, and members of the team have lead DT-themed
events at a number of local schools including Dunster, Milverton and Norton Fitzwarren. The most recent of
these, at Dunster, involved 6th Form DT students working with the First School pupils to design, build and test
water bottle rockets.
The year ended on a high with the Technology Evening taking place on Tuesday the 9th of July. This was an
opportunity for all our GCSE and A Level students to have their work recognised, and the top students were
invited back to field questions about their work.
The annual Grand Final of the Year 9 Enterprise Project was included as part of the evening’s celebrations.
Members of two local businesses, Nutcombe Chocolates and Lee Abbey, plus Minehead Rotary Club and
Minehead Cycling Club, came in to act as ‘Dragons’ and select the winning concepts from all those produced by
the students. Please see the separate article for further details.
Thank you to everyone who has supported the Design Technology Team this year, particularly our two
wonderful technicians, Peet Deakin and Veronica Curtis.

Textiles Department 2013
We started the year with another excellent year of
results; our students attaining 100% A*-C Grades at
GCSE and ‘A’ Level. In February, we took the Year 10
students to London to visit the V&A on a day trip so
that they could draw from life thereby allowing them
to access top grades at GCSE.
Also in February we made links with middle schools
by taking part in an arts carousel day entitled
‘Metamorphosis’ in which the children produced a
cloth book based on natural forms which they had printed, using fabric paints. The group had the opportunity
to use the Textile Department facilities and specialist equipment, for example computerised embroidery
machines. They also experienced drama, art and music as part of the carousel theme; they were able to take
home lots of memories and finished art that they had produced during the day.
February was a very busy month, because we also took 40 students to Paris Disneyland. The art students were
given the opportunity to meet the Disney Parade Costumiere; she critiqued their work and they were delighted
to be able to use her constructive criticism to improve their work. This gave them confidence and inspiration as
they moved on to new projects in Year 11.
In March, we did a fashion show in the school hall as part of the 6th Form Funky Monkey Talent Show. All the
year groups had the opportunity to access this wider learning and show off their skills to the community.
Looking back on this academic year, I am positively hopeful of another bumper year of results.
Nicola Spicer - Subject Leader Textiles
Health & Social Care and Early Years
It has been another exciting and busy year in the Health and Social Care and Early Years department.
We introduced a new course at Level 2, the Cambridge Technical in Health and Social Care. This proved
extremely successful with all our students passing from the Certificate through to the fully Diploma. This has
enabled one or two of the students to now move on to our Level 3 course next year.
The Child Care and Education course (CACHE) continues to thrive with healthy numbers in Years 12 and 13.
Our results for this year have been outstanding with all students achieving or exceeding their target grades.
This course gives the students the equivalent of 3 ‘A’ levels and UCAS points and a number of these students
are now going on to university. One student has chosen Early Childhood Studies and two are going to train
to be primary school teachers. Most of the remaining students have gained employment in local schools and
nurseries.
This year also saw the opening of Acorns Nursery as a fully functioning day care provider. Our working
partnership with Acorns has gone from strength to strength throughout the year and their support for our
tudents has been invaluable. They have provided placements for our Year 12 Cambridge TEC and CACHE
students and have also supported our Year 10 Child Development GCSE students by allowing them to visit the
nursery and carry out observations and various practical childcare tasks such as sterilising and making up bottles. Our thanks go to Julie Lindley (Manager of Acorns) and to Angela Gardner (Advisor to Acorns). Without
their continual support, we would not have been able to offer these enriching opportunities to our students.
We hope that next year will bring as many successes as this year has and we wish you all a very happy summer
holiday.

The English Year
This year has been one of exciting developments in English. To add to the successful and popular A Level Media
and English Literature courses, there will be GCSE Media from September, for the first time. By popular
demand, we will also be starting A Level English Language.
We welcome two new staff into English in September, Ms Rachael Street (a former student, hello again!) and
Ms Natasha Lewis. Unsurprisingly, this also means that we will be expanding into some different rooms, for
example, an E8 is popping up where MA5 used to be! Media lessons will be in IT3.
Exam results at A Level and GCSE were again very pleasing, especially considering the many GCSE upsets across
the country.
Alongside all that hard work, we found time for lots of extras:
The annual Spelling Bee trophy was won by Holly Bale, second prize Harriet Hall, in a lively and tightly fought
contest! Next year the competition will take place every half term.
World Book Day was an enjoyable event, with acclaimed writer Rachel Ward working with a number of Year 9s
to produce their own creative writing. Thanks Miss Sum for organising both of these!
Murder Mystery Day aka Gifted and Talented day recently took place, involving twenty five Y8 students. Thank
you to Miss Doran (who also kindly consented to being the corpse at the CSI crime scene) and Miss Lacey for
organising this. The resulting newspaper front pages were sophisticated as well as fun, as shown by the winning
article, ‘Death by Dictionary’ shown here.
Death by Dictionary?
By Solomon Olsen and Tamsin Ferguson
Today at around 9:30am Miss Doran, a
caring and well-loved teacher, was found
dead in the English office, at West Somerset Community College. Miss Doran had
been killed at 4:45pm the previous evenPicture of Jenny Doran’s
ing. She was found lying on the floor facbody at the scene of crime.
ing down, with scuffs on her heels. These
scuffs on her high heels suggest that she had been running from the murderer.
She died from a fatal blow to the back of the head which was caused by a dictionary.
Moments before anyone had heard of the death, Mrs Moulder-a dark haired pastoral support workerasked suspiciously “Has anyone died yet?” The evidence of a single dark hair found at the crime scene,
which does not belong to the victim, suggests that Mrs Moulder may have had something to do with the
homicide.
The staff meeting that took place at West Somerset College the previous evening, started at 3:45pm and
ended 4:45pm, the time at which the scream was heard, several teachers left the meeting early, which is not
a common occurrence. Another unusual occurrence is that Jenny Doran did not attend the meeting.
The Dictionary, which caused the fatal blow, was either stolen from Miss Sum’s bookshelf or it could have
been Miss Sum herself as she did have a possible motive: “Miss Doran and I had an argument earlier that
day and we parted on angry terms.”
Police investigators are working all day and night to find the murderer and to restore justice.
Bye Bye Brewhouse?
A routine trip to see a Hull Truck theatre production of ‘Jane Eyre’ at the Brewhouse Theatre Taunton became a
drama in its own right. Y12, accompanied by Mrs Price and Miss Sum, witnessed what seemed to be the end of
performances at the theatre. The press were present, with emotional statements from staff about to lose their
jobs. A well attended candlelit vigil followed the next evening, which Mrs Price and Miss Sum also attended and
which shows the strength of feeling around this issue. Thankfully a reprieve now seems to be possible; we
consider it vitally important that an accessible venue of this quality is available to people of the area, and
particularly, to students at the College.

A Globe Theatre visit also took place recently when Mrs Price and Miss Donnellan took Year 12 to see
‘Macbeth’. This was a fresh and exciting production in that incomparable venue; all (even Mrs Price) were very
impressed indeed.
The next Shakespeare trip is already planned, with Year 13 off to see their set play, ‘Antony and Cleopatra’
performed by the RSC at Stratford in The Swan Theatre.
Still on the Shakespeare theme, Mrs Price (language coach) will be assisting Mrs Westwood who is directing a
Shakespeare Schools’ Festival production of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’. This is an important opportunity
for next year’s Year 10 get to perform, this time. What a great way to get familiar with Shakespearean language!
No staff are leaving us permanently this year, although early in the new term Mrs Botting will be staring her
maternity leave, returning in the Summer of 2014.

Drama Department
It has been a busy and creative year in the Drama Department! The students have had the opportunity to
explore all aspects of drama during lessons and we have finished the year watching very entertaining Year 9
devised performances! It has been such a pleasure to watch our Year 9 students grow this year and begin to use
the new technical equipment we have invested in. Years 10 and 11 have worked extremely hard and have
produced a very high standard of work for their exam pieces, performances included Teechers, Blackout, Stolen
Secrets, The Government Inspector, My Mother Said and Stags and Hens. We have seen record numbers in our
audience to support, so thank you to everyone who attended. Don’t forget to look out for the drama and music
events planned for next year!
Fame was amazing!!! The students were so dedicated and over 500
people came to support and the reviews reflected the hard work and
determination to get the ‘whole school’ musical re-introduced at West
Somerset. We would like to thank all the staff at The Regal for their
support and we look forward to releasing next year’s musical choice at
the start of September. The Whodunnit? in association with The Combe
saw a night of entertainment, laughs and many budding detectives
working out who killed the pop star. The night raised £300 which was
donated to Bristol Neo-Natal Unit, who have looked after Rosie Giles’s
baby boy, Alfie, who was born prematurely. Alfie is doing really well and
we look forward to Rosie’s return in January 2014.
Students have been given many opportunities to see a wide range of productions this year including: Mother
Courage at The Brewhouse, Our Country’s Good at the Everyman Theatre, Cheltenham, Wicked at the Victoria
Apollo, London, Frankenstein at the Tacchi Morris Centre, Taunton and A Midsummer Night’s Dream at Bristol
Old Vic. Every trip has been a great success and the students have been a credit to the College. I was stopped
after one performance to say how well mannered our students were, we later found out it was the Timberlake
Wertenbaker who wrote Our Country’s Good, the students were so excited.
Arts Evening was a great success, the current Year 12 students created an Artaudian inspired performance that
wowed audience with its fantastic use of lighting, shadow work and media film. It wasn’t for the faint hearted.
We have started to begin rehearsals for Shakespeare Schools’ Festival and have 26 students taking part,
performing at The Tacchi Morris Centre on 15th October. It is fantastic to be able to showcase our wealth of
talent around Somerset.
In May, we welcomed Katie Neal to the department who is Rosie Giles maternity cover; she will be starting an
exciting drama club project in September-look out for posters
Next year the department and performance opportunities are growing, so it is the year to be involved in The
Arts, so ensure that you get involved or come and support!

A Year In Beauty Therapy
This has been a financially successful year in the Beauty Therapy department; as we have taken above our
target set for the year making to date over £11,000 (gross) for the salon. Our industry days have been very
popular and we have had two late nights this year. Thank you to all our clients for your support!
To help spur our students on we have had a competition running since January to discover which of our Post
16 students would become our top earner. To help encourage this, the students were told that there would
be a prize for those who were able to make over £1000 by the end of the academic year for the salon.
Our first student to do this was Amy Maher. She has earned for the salon a staggering £1,852 followed closely
by Katie Beauchamp who made £1499.
This has been a great experience for the girls as it gets all of them used to working towards targets set within
the salon environment and our year 12s going into year 13 know exactly what they need to do to become
next year’s top earner - targets have already been set!
The students have had industry experts such as Dermalogica in to give demonstrations and talks on facial and
body products and treatments. Steiner who represent the cruise liners came in and gave a very informative
recruitment talk on what working life onboard ship is like.
Our pre 16 groups have also been very busy; they have done extremely well and have completed 5 units
already, hopefully this will make Year 11 less stressful!

Hellos and Goodbyes from Humanities
It turns out that this academic year has been one of great change for Humanities. In
January we said goodbye to Ms Kennedy who moved to a
job near Honiton, she was replaced by Mr Cunniah who
will also sadly be leaving us at the end of this term to
move back to his family in Northampton. We wish him
well in his new post. But it’s not all goodbyes we are very
pleased that Mrs Whittaker has returned from maternity
leave and that Mrs Wainright is only going to be teaching
History next year.
Of course the biggest change is that Humanities is
relocating – we are leaving our historical home in the
Humanities Block to be more centrally located between
Science and English (where Maths was this year), watch
Mrs Whittaker
this exciting space be transformed by our dedicated
display teams! So when you see the room code Hu on your timetable remember this
means you are in Humanities.
Mr Cunniah - “It's
been a great working
challenge for me
working here and the
shared experiences
were a must... I will
miss you all incredibly
(staff, pupils, pubs
and Minehead
per se).
May our paths cross
again colleagues!”
It has been another amazing year in terms
of student achievement and we are all
looking forward to seeing the exam results
in August. I wonder if our A2 Geographers
can equal their January record of straight A
grades? It was also record year for the
number of students achieving a National

truly remarkable and we have very high hopes for all of you as you move up to GCSE.
As always our geographers have been enjoying making the most
of getting out and about. The Year 9s enjoyed their trip to Blue
Anchor to investigate coastal processes and sea defences –
especially those lucky enough to be ‘rescued’ by the West
Somerset Railway after an accident prevented the coaches from
collecting us. GCSE students found out what stage of Butler’s life
cycle model Dunster is currently in and have investigated changes
in Horner Water’s cross profile from the source to the mouth. AS
students had a wonderful week in Devon investigating coastal
processes on Dawlish Warren spit and looking at the different
socio-economic characteristics of wards in Plymouth. They finished their trip with

look at urban regeneration in Cardiff Bay and ecosystems in

A (school) year in the Business and Economics Department.
Autumn term
After pleasing results at A Level, a high number of students have gone off to study either Business,
Management or Economics at University. Likewise, very good results at GCSE means a large number of
students returning to study A Level Business and / or Economics – including 2 ‘returnees’ from Huish within a
fortnight!
A real highlight for Y11s was the ‘Business in the Midlands’ visit, which involved visits and study talks from a
major production plant (Cadbury World), a major tourist venue (Alton Towers) and a large out of town retail
park (Fort Dunlop).
The Year 13 Business Fair allowed students to showcase their entrepreneurial flair as students presented their
unique and thoroughly researched Business Plans to an invited audience in order to attract funding for their
ideas. This year’s businesses included a driving instructor, fitness instructor and a wide variety of food outlets.
Meanwhile, all Year 12 Business students investigated the Recruitment Process and took part in mock
interviews as part of their assessed work.
Year 11s were encouraged to use pizza delivery outlets by staff, as the Controlled Assessment title involved an
investigation into the marketing of a pizza place – reports that Rominos had a record month are greatly
exaggerated!
Spring term
Mrs Wainwright led the annual A Level Double Business Enterprise project for Year 12s who ran a very
successful quiz night, with raffle and prizes. The highlight (for my team) was me identifying Gary Numan and
the song Cars, within 0.001 seconds! (See below)
Y12 Business Enterprise
The Year 12 Double Business group, Dan
Boyd-Payne, James Fleming, Matt Chalker and Ryan
Hooper presented Ian Fleming, Chairman of Caractacus
Housing, with a cheque for £257.60 following their
excellent fund-raising efforts in organsing a College quiz
night.
Mr Fleming was delighted with their hard work and
particularly pleased that they had chosen a local charity
to focus on; Matt Chalker commented “We chose the
charity because we felt it was unique and we wanted to
help local people.” James Fleming added that they were really pleased “that we can see exactly where the
money is going.” The Caractacus Housing Second Initiative issues grants to local
individuals or families in need of very specific support.
Nicola Wainwright - Teacher of Business Studies
Spring term continued
Mr Williams led the year 13 Double students to Torre Cider Farm to undertake a Health and Safety
Investigation, followed by a cream tea – the latter being purely for research purposes, of course!
The Spring term saw the Year 12s investigating a local business and researching potential new products and
services for the organisation. Their hard work culminated in formal Marketing presentations to an informed
audience.
The Economics and Business students combined to form a ‘super-group’ to enter the prestigious Institute of
Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW) Competition, where they performed well in the South
West heats, but sadly failed to go through to the National finals.
The Year 13s led Training programmes for fellow 6th formers resulting in a varied and lively group of sessions
that included football skills, ballet and basic Japanese!

Summer term
In July, all the year 10 GCSE and BTEC Business students were invited to Butlin’s (See below)
Business at Butlin’s
The Year 10 Business students went to Butlin’s on Tuesday 2nd July to
improve their understanding of Training, Recruitment and
Selection.
Billy Ferris (HR Manager at Butlin’s) led an interesting and varied talk to the
students. Billy has been with Butlin’s for 20 years (and delivered
presentations to the Business department for at least the last nine!) and
explained how his career had changed due to the opportunities that had
become available by working for such a large company.
Billy went through the typical recruitment stages at Butlin’s and how
important the personal skills of potential applicants are - for instance, "Are
they interested in others, polite, well presented?" Butlin’s are a leading UK company for training - Sky recently
sent a number of senior managers to Minehead to learn how to improve team building and training. About half
of the 1500 employees don't live on site at Butlin’s, so there are a number of employment opportunities for our
students. It was pleasing to see a number of ex-students, including some on Summer breaks from university who
are working and developing skills there.
Students were sent on a Treasure Trail around the site, which included finding out info and services available
and taking a photo in the big deck chair. The winning team won a box of Maltesers. After time for lunch, the
students had a bit of free time to enjoy swimming, the fair and other activities. Ms Daye went on the Waltzers
for the first time ever and Mr Williams braved the rides which went upside down.
Previous visits have been in glorious sunshine but we were pleased it stayed dry for most of the day, until a
slightly damp walk back to College. Thanks to Butlin’s (and especially Billy) for hosting us and the students
for their excellent behaviour and very good questions. We look forward to returning again next year.
Simon Wainwright - Subject Leader, Business Studies
Summer term continued
The Y12 Economists investigated, presented and produced ‘Econocards’ on famous Economists, such as Keynes,
Friedman and Smith, which will improve understanding and provide another interesting display in the Gibbs
Block.
The year 10s BTEC and GCSE also enjoyed an active day in Alternative Curriculum Week, which involved a
survey of business types in Minehead & Alcombe, followed by a group presentation on the 4Ps of a new shop in
Minehead – what Products would you sell in your shop, where would you
Place your shop, what Promotion would you undertake and what Price
would you aim to sell at?
Congratulations to Chris Hunt, Harley Everett and Gemma Trunks who
won our prestigious Outstanding Student Awards for Economics, Single
Business and Double Business (respectively) at the 6th form Presentation
Evening.
Well done to all of them. Sadly (for us), Mrs Wainwright will be delivering
more A Level History next year and Mr Stannett will be focusing on AS
Sociology, so will not be contributing to our future departmental success, but thanks once again for their input
and hard work over the years.
Finally, thanks again to all the local businesses who have supported the students in the past year.

German Exchange to Bünde 2013
H₂O, a large swimming pool with space to
swim inside and outside, was the chosen
activity for our first full day. From 12:00 to
15:00 we enjoyed three hours of endless fun
and excitement. The many rides
(Wasserrutschen) available to us were
exhilarating and the participants spoke of it
later with an overzealousness that could only
be likened to that of a toddler describing their
favourite cartoon. When the rides had ceased,
there were even screens to show at what
speed the most recent individual went! There
was also a wave machine (Wellenbad) and rapids (Turbo-Rutsche) which provided much entertainment for all
involved.
On the first Thursday we went on a bus trip to a river called Weser which
was where we went canoeing. This was one of the best trips we had as we
had a massive canoe war where everyone tried to catch up to each other so
they can splash them and some of the people created alliances (Lukasz,
Lewis and Jordan teamed up with their German exchanges). In the end not
many people got away dry, luckily they had a change of clothes and
enjoyed a nice ice cream waiting for the bus.
One of the highlights of the exchange was the day trip to Hamburg.
Leaving at 7am the coaches made the three hour journey to the
second biggest city in Germany. In the morning, an interesting
exploration of Hamburg harbour was enjoyed by all involved. During
the day many of the excited English and German students enjoyed
shopping or going to Hamburg Dungeon and then were enlightened
and intrigued by the “Miniatur Wunderland” with its discrete surprises
around every bush or house. Overall the trip to Hamburg was
interesting and enjoyable.
We spent the weekend with our exchanges and their families. They were
incredibly kind to all of us and took us too many local attractions. Some of us
visited the local zoo and others went to crazy golf. Other activities that we
took part in included; go-karting; shopping in the town; climbing and visiting
other towns. Molly Wells visited Berlin and stayed overnight. Along with
other attractions she visited the Reichstag (the Parliament in Berlin). Most
people attended parties on the Saturday night with BBO’s and music.
On Monday morning, we all travelled to Lemgo to a museum that
focussed on witchcraft in the 16th century. The visit included a guided
tour around the house of the Mayor during the time of witchcraft. All
the students got to see some of the torture instruments that may have
been used to make the accused talk. The tour was ended by Tarsha
accusing both teachers of practising witchcraft. When visiting the bird
park, many students feared for their life as huge eagles took to the sky
above our heads… Knowing that the birds could land on our heads at
any moment, most of us watched the show from behind jumpers,
screaming as one landed on the head of a German partner!! Overall it was an amazing experience and we had
the opportunity to learn some interesting facts about some of the large predators of the Earth.
There were many eye opening trips during our exchange, one of them being the mining museum at Bochum.
It was really interesting to see how coal was mined throughout the last century and we were even treated to a
Issue 065

demonstration of how some of the machines worked. The Zeiss planetarium
was an exciting experience with an amazing show (in German) about life
outside our planet. Sadly some members of the English group fell asleep due to
not knowing what the recording was saying and from having a fun packed
week before that day. Those who did watch the show said it had amazing
graphics and was truly inspiring.
We visited the German school on our last day in Germany. The school
started extremely early at 7:50am and ended at 1:10; the classrooms looked
different from England as there wasn’t so many wall displays and they used chalkboards instead of whiteboards.
The walls in the corridors however were covered in amazing artwork including one of
Herr Ransiech, their head teacher. The lessons were all 45 minutes long and they had a
break after the first two of 20 minutes. In the afternoon there were many activities to
celebrate the schools 125th anniversary and we were able to meet up and spend time
with people we’d met that morning.

The year started well with many of our German students celebrating fantastic results. Once again WSCC
students achieved 100% pass rate at A level and near record pass rate at GCSE, achieving more than 10%
above the National Average. Special congratulations to the following for gaining A* a truly fantastic
achievement for a GCSE course of less than 3 years : Amina Kowald, Becky Willmetts, Alice Stamp,
Laura Green, Lauren Goddard, and Jamie Christmas. Other students worthy of mention are Harry Symons (KS5
award) Holly Green (KS4 award) and Gemma Chilcott, Laura Mapledoram, Chloe Puttock, Abbie Elliot,
Sophie Carter, Tash Harwood for Student of the Month awards.
The new Year 9 students responded well to the challenge of learning a new foreign language and we have
unprecedented option numbers for our Y10 courses. This reflects the quality of teaching, the increased status
of foreign languages within the English Bac. and the fact that a qualification in a Foreign Language is more
important than ever in our global economy where competition for jobs is so keen.
The highlight of our year was the exchange visit to our partner school in Bünde. Very few schools run foreign
exchanges because buying into an educational visit is much easier to organise. However, nothing can compete
with an exchange in terms of experiencing the true life and culture of another country. We had
unprecedented interest this year and took 37 students. Our visit coincided with the 125th anniversary of our
Partner School so there were even more celebrations than usual. Our students enjoyed a rich and active
programme which included canoeing 18 km on the river Weser (special mention to Chloe Puttock and Connie
Nicholls for falling in at the end) an amazing visit to Hamburg, Germany’s second largest city where many of
our female students boosted the German economy with purchases from Holister. This had nothing to do with
the fact that the store was employing semi naked male models to greet customers at the doors and provided
personal carrier bags adorned with finely toned torsos! We also enjoyed our visit to Berlebeck the largest
Eagle Park in Europe. One of their finest specimens with a wing span of more than 300 cm took a particular
fancy to Ollie Downs and twice landed on his head, perhaps mistaking his rather individual coiffure for a birds
nest. We also visited the medieval town of Lemgo and visited the torture chambers used on witches in the 17
century. Tarsha Coleman volunteered to be interrogated and denounced Mrs Binding as a witch before the
thumb screws were applied. The Germans are always fantastic hosts and most of us returned with expanded
waist bands having felt obliged to conduct quality assurance tests at numerous ice cream parlours. We look
forward to hosting the return leg next year at the end of June when the German Exchange celebrates its 48th
year. This is now the longest running exchange in the County.
On a staffing note we bid ‘Au Revoir’ to Miss Hull and ‘Bienvenido’ to Mr Reina who joins us in September
to launch the teaching of Spanish. Clearly there are exciting times ahead for the young linguists of West
Somerset.

Media Studies
It has been a very eventful year in Media Studies, with a huge technical failure testing both staff and students.
An enormous effort from all involved ensured that students did all have some excellent work in time for the
deadline and the students should be very proud of their resilience and perseverance! A huge congratulations
goes out to all of the students and, of course, the fantastic teaching team - not forgetting Steve Quantick and
his invaluable technical support
Despite this setback, we have shared some real successes. Alongside excellent team work and smiling through
the stresses, we have enjoyed fantastic open evenings, which showcased the excellence of the department.
Our students both entered and left the exam room feeling confident and we had some exceptional case study
work at both AS and A2. The coursework that our students produced was also of remarkable quality and
demonstrates the dedication that they have for the subject. In addition to the A Level course, we had five Year
11 students sitting GCSE Film Studies. They have worked hard over the last two years, with the help of Mr
Abbott, during the Friday enrichment slot to achieve an additional GCSE. The topic this year was ‘Super Hero
films’ – much to the delight of our comic book loving crew.
We have also made some real developments within the subject in preparation for the year ahead. For the first
time, the College will be running GCSE Media Studies and the team are incredibly excited about the new
course. With subject topics ranging from Science Fiction films to Advertising and Marketing, it will be an
exciting and challenging year ahead for our Year 10 students.
With increased student numbers for the second year running, and of course the introduction of GCSE Media
Studies, we have a busy and exciting year ahead. We have already started planning some fantastic trips and
enrichment opportunities and are all very much looking forward to the year ahead!
Kat Botting: Subject Leader for Media Studies
Music Department
The Music Department has seen a big change this year, including new courses, resources and concerts to
working across the community and developing links with First and Middle Schools.
The students have worked extremely hard to produce fantastic performances and compositions across all
years. The Year 11 GCSE performances were extremely accomplished and there is certainly a wealth of talent
in the area. Although the audience turnout has been disappointing at the recital evenings and concerts, the
standards that were demonstrated were truly top class.
The College production of Fame was spectacular! The Drama and Music students worked tremendously well
together. With a limited experience of choral singing and working with a full musical score and libretto, the
students achieved a truly show-stopping performance. The band sound was extremely professional and even
featured a student that hasn’t even joined the College yet! The dedication, hard work and commitment from
the cast and band was fantastic and the production was a fabulous debut for future bigger and bolder
ventures – watch this space!
The department has worked with the Rotary Club, Minehead Arts Society, the West Somerset Railway,
Dunster by Candlelight, the Regal theatre, West Somerset Junior Orchestra and has supported the Uganda
Exchange. Some of our students have taken their talents further afield with auditions for The Voice, auditions
for TV, winning hosts of competitions and many will be appearing at local festivals over the summer. Students
here will, undoubtedly, launch themselves onto the national and international stage!
The live lounge at Arts Evening was a great success with Year 10 students demonstrating
the talents that took Dunster First by storm. Earlier this term the students had lead a
song writing workshop with Year 4 students culminating in a whole-school concert of the
students Egyptian- inspired songs.
Keep your eyes peeled for future opportunities next year – there are loads to choose
from. To get involved with music tuition, ensembles, musicals, live gigs, music
technology, live sound and sound engineering you just have to ask!

Singing exam results this term are as follows:
Kate Ansell - Singing grade 4 - merit
Mia Borthwick - Singing grade 5 - pass
Connie Nicholls - Singing grade 5 - merit
Mathematics
As ever 2012/13 has been a hectic but rewarding year in Mathematics. Staff have worked extremely hard to
secure success for the students they have worked with.
This year the Schools’ Mathematical challenge saw 22 students achieve Bronze awards, 8 a silver and 1 Gold.
Kyle Hutchings was best in Year 11, Chloe Puttock in Year 10. Best in College was Ellery Durey in Year 9. He
also went on to achieve a Merit in the UKMT Intermediate Challenge. This is a challenge open to UK and
International schools. His success in this places him in the top 0.3% of KS4 students studying Mathematics.
The vast majority of Year 11 have taken full advantage of the early entry opportunities that were available to
them this year. Already the Mathematics results at GCSE show that 64% of students have achieved A*-C
grades with many more securing target grades and above. This proved a very powerful learning opportunity
for some of our Year 11 students when they did not get the grade they had hoped for. This was the perfect
incentive to try again and work that much harder second time around. What is particularly pleasing is the
number of students who committed themselves to the June examination knowing they had achieved their
target grade and wanting to improve upon it.
Mathematics once again has proved a popular choice at AS and A2 level. Notably Megan Peeks in Year 13 has
already claimed her A grade, as too has Mark Westcott. Alex Christmas in Year 13 secured her A* grade in
both Mathematics and Further Mathematics with success in the January examinations.
As we approach the end of another school year we say goodbye to staff and welcome new people to the team
in Mathematics. After over 35 years of service at the College Mr Smith has decided to take his opportunity to
retire. His vast experience of West Somerset, the places and families within it will be difficult to replace. He
has been a reliable and dependable member of the team who has remarkably and notably taken no days of
absence through illness in all his days at the College! We all wish him a long and happy retirement from
teaching.
This will be my last end of year Mathematics report as Curriculum Team Leader in Mathematics. I too am
leaving to take up a teaching post in Dubai. In two spells at the College I have spent 14 years teaching
Mathematics and leading the Mathematics team. I take great pride in the progress that has been made in that
time and the support and dedication of the staff who have worked with me. All are committed to securing the
best for the students they work with and I am in awe of the lengths that Mathematics staff have gone to in
order to push them all the way. This year’s GCSE results are set to be amongst the best the College has ever
achieved and are a credit to everyone involved and a true measure of the hard work of everyone involved.
In September new staff will join the Mathematics team. Mrs Marsh will join us full time and Mr Edmonds and
Mr Grieg take up their first teaching posts at the College.

Basic Expedition Leaders complete a year of Leading
Three Year 13s have completed their Level 3 Basic
Expedition Leaders award finishing with an assessed
expedition in The Forest of Dean.
The year long course has involved 9 units, from
Navigation to Styles of Leadership, Campcraft to Safety
in the outdoors. In addition the students have had to
gain a First Aid qualification, a walking log of 8 days
solo walking experience, as well as 30 hours of
leadership; from guiding Year 9s on orienteering to
guiding older members of our community on a
Ramblers’ walk. The whole course culminated in taking
five Year 11s on a two day expedition to the Forest of
Dean wholly planned by themselves.
Arranging the routes, booking campsites, researching
the area in order to enthuse their group and organising kit issue which all kept them busy. They were fortunate
with the weather, just a few odd showers, making the humidity in the woods a very sticky experience. Even
when we threw in the odd First Aid or ‘getting lost’ scenario for them to deal with, all 3 boys coped admirably.
Congratulations go to Edward Welsh, Ben Embling and Tom McCanlis pictured with their groups.
Caroline Young: Expedition Leader
Born Survivors Sizzle
10 students from Year 9 chose the Born Survivor activity for Active
Learning week with a whole range of survival goings-on to keep them on
their toes.
Monday saw them gaining Bush craft skills, from knife skills, shelter
building and rabbit skinning to friction fire lighting.
Tuesday they were given a quick guide to expeditioning, how to pack a
rucksack, what were and weren’t, good foods and how to pitch a tent.
To round the day off they produced a stunning 3 course meal on a camp
stove. The highlights were rice stir fry and swiss roll and custard
Wednesday we left early for the Brecon Beacons and a tour of the Dan yr
Ogof caverns to see how living in a cave had been done in the past. Then
the whole group took on lots of carbohydrates around the camp fire for
the culmination of the week, the wild camp.
The slog up the mountain in the sizzling heat made the lakeside spot even
more welcome as we pitched our tents , paddled and did some leach spotting. Great views from the top of the ridge as the sun went down, and an
idyllic wild camp experience rounded off a great week, with everyone really mucking in by the end.
Well done to Heidi Armstrong, Savannah Cameron, Elisha Craven,
Oli Dascombe, Alex Hudson, Deanna Mendoza, Janielle Sabale,
Jasmine Simpson and Aiden Warr.

Kayaking
Sun, sea and kayaking, that was the order for our sea
kayaking group for ALW, and what a week it was stunning weather, great views and flat calm seas. We
started with a trip to Wimbleball Lake to get acquainted
with our kayaks and do some safety work and then the
rest of week has seen us out at sea. Thursday and
Friday was our expedition where we kayaked down the
South West Coast Line and spent an amazing night on a
beach watching the sun drop. At the end of the week all
the students came away with their BCU Two Star award.

50 Mile Walk
This year’s 50 mile walk has been blessed with extraordinary weather and amazing students. They’ve taken
each step in their stride whilst taking in some of Somerset’s finest views. North Hill, Grabbist, Conygar Tower,
Dunster Deer Park - all have been conquered by 31 Year 9s who now have some very sore feet. Highlights:
Galloping Exmoor ponies through the early morning mist, Fae Brooks falling at the first hurdle, flyovers in
Carhampton, jumping in the water at Salmon Point & the extraordinary joy on the girls faces of eventually
finding toilets at Selworthy. Well done and thank you to everybody involved for a great week.
Toby Eveleigh: Activity Leader
Music & Drama Departments
The Active Learning Week in music has seen a real transformation in
the Music and Drama department. The students have created a
wrap-around mural in the Performing Arts foyer, repainted tired
practice rooms and created bespoke mural panels to install
throughout the department – there has been a lot of paint, a lot
of paint splodges but the work has been fantastic and the new lively
and inviting atmosphere is superb!
Well done for all who have taken part and put your mark on the
College!

Active Learning Week 2013 at Quantock School of Riding
A week’s riding learning experience was organised locally at a riding school
near Crowcombe for the students who wanted to have the chance to learn
to ride or develop their pony skills. Each day students learnt a new skill
towards learning how to care for their pony as well as having a lesson in the
sand school or going out for a hack.
Each student owned a pony for the week to allow them to experience the
responsibility of caring for the pony and that included watering, feeding,
grooming, cleaning tack and learning to saddle up correctly. The
atmosphere was very welcoming and the children’s individual needs were
carefully matched to the choice of pony. Miss Spicer and Mrs. Wood
supported the students and helped with leading any ponies or jobs that
needed to be done around the yard especially making tea and providing cold
drinks for the thirsty students in the hot weather.
The students responded well to the opportunities they were offered each
day and looked forward to the next day and the possibility of being able to
canter the pony by the end of the week.
Nicola Spicer: Activity Leader
Lee Abbey Visit
Life Skills and Lee Abbey was a fantastic experience and the
perfect activity on which to end an eventful Year 9. A whole
week of activities, venturesome and jocular, starting off with a
Monday in which the tight knit group consisting of Leah,
Amber (me), Zander, Agnes, Chloe, Gabrielle and Sophia got
to know each other before doing a mini DT project not
dissimilar to the Water Bottle Powered Rocket Cars that some
DT groups participated in not a few weeks ago. On both
Tuesday and Thursday we went to Lee Abbey, an adventure
centre in the heart of rural Devon to participate in many wild and borderline insane activities, including crate
stacking, rock climbing at the notoriously beautiful Lee Bay and mountain boarding. Fears were conquered
and excessive amounts of fun were had. That leaves Wednesday, which we spent in the company of the
Animal Care department to tend to the exotic animals, and Friday, where we cooked an entire BBQ meal for 9
from scratch to celebrate the events of the hectic week.
That only leaves the rest of us to thank Mr Griffin, Mrs Moulder and the staff at Lee Abbey for everything
they've done (especially to the Lee Abbey staff for drenching us to the bone with water on the obstacle
course!). Thanks for the amazing experience of a week!

Cultural Tour of the South-West
Our small (but perfectly formed!) group set off for Bristol Zoo Gardens bright
and early on Monday. As always, there were lots of things to enjoy,
especially the butterfly house, and the lemur keeper's talk, accompanied by
his very acrobatic furry friend with the amazing tail. The highlight for Elliot,
certainly, was feeding time in the lions' enclosure. Keepers hung up some
very bloody, skinned heads on pulleys. "Are they human heads?!" he asked.
Er. No.
Tuesday's trip to Exeter was the inaugural journey of the new school minibus (no pressure Ms Kellett!) and took
in the high and low points of the city, literally. We started in the medieval Underground Passages, with a guided
tour far below the high street. It was very cold down there, and a little drippy too (Zoe's hair smelled of
medieval sewer water by the time we emerged). It is not for the claustrophobic, and Miss Donnellan was the
first to wimp out! However, for those who didn't want to crawl in darkness, there was a virtual video tour
where you are "flown" through the tunnels, which amused us no end while we waited for the brave ones to
emerge. Kudos to Kizzy and Heidi, who crawled through one of the tightest spaces and had the muddy legs to
prove it... A special mention to Mrs Ruston who completed the whole tour despite not being fond of cramped
spaces.
In the afternoon, we visited Exeter Cathedral for a special rooftop tour. We climbed approximately 200 tiny,
ancient, spiralling stone steps with a guide who led us through parts of the building that most people never get
to see. We popped out onto a section of the roof, and opened up a stained glass window in order to wave to
the crowds in the cathedral below. To say they were surprised to see us all the way up there was an
understatement! We saw the bell-ringing room and some of us were fined sixpence for wearing hats, according
to the ancient rules of conduct pinned to the wall there.
Walking Wednesday proved to be the hottest day of the year so far,
so we set out early to scale Grabbist, finding shade in the woods at
Periton, before heading down to the beach for ice-cream and paddling
(well, why not...?) Joe set a relentless pace for day and found the
teachers' walking somewhat below par, chiding them more than once
- "You're holding us up!" Sorry, Joe. We'll do more training for next
year. Heidi earned a badge of courage for continuing to walk, despite
having the biggest, sorest-looking blisters we have ever seen. Until
Miss Griffiths donated her flip-flops to the hobbling one, having come
super-prepared with a spare pair of shoes. Absolutely saved the day!
Oliver, somewhere along the way, found the perfect walking stick which became our lucky talisman for the
day... it nearly came a cropper in the sea but Ashley was able to wade out and rescue it. It was last seen
doubling up as a seaweed flinger.
The beach Olympics did not stop there... Mariah started a trend for sand sculpture and burying oneself in the
sand, only to be outdone by Oliver who seemed to have a real talent for these beach pursuits.
Monkey World is always a popular part of the week's itinerary and this year was no exception. Mr Fleming was
especially looking forward to it, as it is the home of his adopted monkey, Tito the golden-cheeked gibbon!
Another hot day meant there were plenty of opportunities to see the monkeys at their best.
And as we go to press, we are looking forward to the pizza party on Friday, where we will invent some weird
and wonderful toppings for our home-made bases and sauces, raise a glass of homemade lemonade and toast a
very happy and successful week.
Special thanks to Ms Kellett, Mr Bowden, Miss Griffiths and Mrs Ruston, who helped keep the show on the
road. And thank you to the students for making it a wonderful week.
We very much hope you enjoyed it... it looked like you did!

Biking: 2013
Day 1
The start of the day we were doing bike
maintenance on our own and other peoples’
bikes. We then did some games on our bikes
on the field like Red Arrows, bike skills and
races. We then had lunch and set off to
Nutcombe Bottom where we had an
orienteering competition.
Day 2
The best part of the week was definitely this
day. This is because we went to Haldon Forest
Park which is near Exeter. There are many
tracks and trails to do there, some start for
beginners and gradually become more
challenging There is also a skills course and
pump track(pump track is when you use your
body weight to increase the speed)
We all did every trail apart from Jamie Hobbs
and Jack Delbridge who did the extreme trail
(the black trail). On that day we rode over 25
km.
Day 3
On that day we met Paul Camp, from
Holnicote Estate. We visited the old track that
Year 10s made and improved it. We used logs
and stones to make the bases of jumps and
afterwards covered it with dirt.
Once the trail was rideable Regan KellyGallagher and Jack Delbridge rode it. We then
took the bikes to North Hill where we rode to Selworthy to do a time trial on a small trail with our bikes. Jack
Delbridge won. We rode about 18km today.
Chris Marlowe (9VRM), Jack Delbridge (9TE) and Jamie Hobbs (9MCW)
Mountain biking is a fun and enjoyable activity with some uphill and downhill routes. You will need some good
stamina for mountain biking. When we went to Haldon Forest Park it was packed with activities to do. There
was the green route that was easy, the blue route that was moderate, the red route which was hard and the
black route that was extremely difficult.
Some of the tracks were really tiring but you get used to them. Your cycling abilities will improve a lot during the
course of the week.

Make a Movie: Active Learning Week
15 students, 5 days, 3 movies: could our Year 9 students achieve the seemingly impossible?
In the short space of 5 days year 9 students have produced a music video, a documentary and a gangster film.
Throughout the week, the students have produced professional pre-production folders, created their own
movie magazines and tested their knowledge of movies, all whilst filming their own productions
independently.
The week has been extremely busy. Planning occurred on Monday, setting the tone for the week, and by the
end of the day all students had a clear idea of the production they were creating. Tuesday involved scripting
and location scouting but the biggest day was Wednesday when students did all of their filming. On Thursday,
Ollie Devlin, Cristal Gallano and Matthew Richards edited the movies whilst the other students created movie
magazines and publicity material in order to promote Friday’s public showing of the films. The movies were
well received and the audience were astounded at the final products’ quality and originality.
From a teacher’s point of view, we’ve all be extremely impressed at the high quality of work throughout the
week: the students contributed equally, enthusiastically and professionally all week. We are also particularly
proud of how they interacted with the public whilst shooting. Holly Sum: Activity Leader
Jake Elliot, one of the students wrote the following review for the week:
On day one, we had a folder which we filled up within two to three hours that contained a sheet for our
characters, the genre and script. The storyboard was hard to make because we had to make all different
pictures from one scene but with different camera angles.
On day two, we wrote the script for our Mafia like film named “Loan Sharks”! We were also finishing our
storyboard. We did some location scouting in the afternoon all around Minehead, What a walk!
On day three, Wednesday we were actually filming! We carried our expensive gear around Minehead to the
different locations we had found on Tuesday. We did some excellent recording with different angles and
constant civilian interruptions! Well we were recording in a public place so that’s what we expected!
On Thursday we made a magazine which we called “Lets rate this 23”. We made some excellent leaflets and
posters that were sent all around the school! We had to make a cover page including needed items and make
an interview with lots of questions and a film review! Our director, Ollie Devlin was in the room next door
editing the film on the Macs using ‘Final Cut Express’ to piece it all together.
On day five, the final day, we had a film afternoon with popcorn and party food etc. We watched all three
films and decided whose film was the best! Overall it has been fun, educational (I’ve learnt loads about
equipment and filming) and better than a normal week!
Drama
The Active Learning Week Drama project saw 10 students creating
a piece of performance to showcase around the College. Students
explored different drama practitioners and created some really
interesting performances. Students also had a lot of fun
experimenting with our new trestle masks. Using their newly
developed performance skills, the students worked together to
create a murder mystery style performance set at the circus. The
audience were led around the circus acts and had to work out who
the murderer was. Our detectives Liam and Elliot ensured the
audience were guided round the acts and had the clues they
needed to solve this awful crime. All the students involved had a great time! Through the week students also
got to use the face paints and design creative designs to add to the circus theme and got messy when we learnt
how to use special effects make up to create cuts and wounds. The students were a delight to work with and
worked hard all week long despite the really hot weather!

Photography
This year's photography Active Learning Week has been a
very productive week, visits to Dunster, the beach, treks up
North Hill... All have provided the students with a myriad of
shooting opportunities, with differing light and framing
challenges.
It is customary, on this activity, for students to produce high
quality work and this year's photography week has been no
exception. The students have approached the week with a
sense of fun and engagement, whilst all having the chance to
develop their photographic skills, from the very basic to
comparatively advanced.
As always, the week has been fantastic for students and staff alike!
Jason Abbott, Teacher of English and Media Studies

Carnegie Shadowing Group 2013
This year’s Carnegie Shadowing Group were very vocal as to
their likes and dislikes of the eight books shortlisted for the
Carnegie Medal. For the first time ever, we had two joint
winners - ‘Wonder’ by RJ Palacio and Marcus Sedgwick’s
‘Midwinter Blood’. However, we were very disappointed that
when the real-life winner was announced, it was ‘Maggot
Moon’ by Sally Gardner - our least favourite book.

WSCC Sports’ Festival
There was sporting fun in the sun on Friday July 12th
as staff and students came together for the College’s
Sports’ Festival. The event saw students from Year 9
and 10 battle it out in four teams across a range of
sporting activities including Tennis, Athletics, Netball
and a giant inflatable assault course.
The festival which was organised by the PE
department as a way of encouraging competitive
sport and fitness amongst all students was taken in
good spirit by all with teamwork and good
sportsmanship evident throughout.
It was a very close competition all day and came
down to the final Tug of War competition to decide a
winner. The Yellow team emerged victorious with
Reds a very close second.
However, the Sixth Form students were not able to
take the title from the defending teachers’ team in
the staff v. student Tug of War.
Organiser of the festival, PE Teacher Steve Jeffs, said:
“It has been a fantastic day, it’s great to see students
enjoying themselves and taking part in sporting
activities in a friendly but competitive manner.”
