Meet the Year 11 team
Dr G. Williams - Head of Year 11
williams.g@aylesfordschool.org.uk
Lover of geography (of course), outdoors, travelling, photography, gardening, food (eating it, occasionally making it!), my two amazing and mischievous cats and fishkeeping. Some say he knows what all of the map symbols are because he studies them intently for hours each and every evening… Others say it’s because he is a legend. Ba dum tss! (…should FLAG that’s a geography joke).
Miss S. Anstey - Assistant Head of Year 11 / 11ANS
anstey.s@aylesfordschool.org.uk
Miss Anstey, assistant head of year 11 and head of KS3 science, completed her degree in biochemistry at the University of Warwick followed by her PGCE in Chemistry. She has been teaching for 8 years both in the UK and in the Middle East. In her spare time Miss Anstey loves being active, with most weekends spent hiking, surfing or bouldering to name a few. Miss Anstey is also very creative and enjoys making things or taking photographs, which can be seen all around her classroom in F14. She is very excited to be part of the year 11 tutor team.
Mr Amadeo - 11AMD
Mr Amadeo has been teaching at Aylesford School for 22 years and is a physics genius.... no seriously he is! In his spare time he can be found playing his guitar and entertaining audiences across the UK.
Mrs Bythell - 11BYT
I am an English teacher here at Aylesford so it won't surprise you to learn that I love to read. I am also in the middle of writing a novel. I've been at it for years though so who knows when it will get finished. Maybe 2020 is my year?! I love spending time with my husband and two kids and we have three guinea pigs at home. I love films, photography, walks in the woods, spending time with friends and family and travelling.
Miss Davies - 11DVS
I am Head of History at Aylesford and as well as teaching History, I also love learning about it outside of school! In my spare time I like to read, paint and bake. Although I do share some of my baking creations with my friends and family, I have been eating A LOT of cake during lock down, so I have started running so I can continue to eat cake (also one of my favourite things to do in my spare time) :)
Mrs Grinham - 11GRI 
Having taught at Aylesford for over 20 years (yes....I know), I think it shows you how much I love my job. However being a form tutor is one of the best bits of my job as I love getting to know students and finding out their personalities and interests. When I am not in school I enjoy spending time with my children. There is also another really special member of my household....Wilbur the cat! Like Miss Leith, I adore my cat and he really is spoilt rotten! I also love baking, playing the piano, travelling, gardening and shopping!
Mrs Hutchings - 11HTC
I love art, design and crafts and really enjoy being creative! I find inspiration all around me and through my other interests such as nature, music, books, films, history, fashion, photography, my family! the list is endless……….
“It is good to love many things, for therein lies the true strength, and whosoever loves much performs much, and can accomplish much, and what is done in love is well done.” Vincent Van Gogh

Combining this mission with World Poetry Day, we are inviting schools across Warwickshire to take part in a poetry competition. Entries will be judged by the residents of Leycester House and 6 winners will be invited to read their poem to our residents over Zoom.
The theme for the competition is “What happiness means to me.” We’re looking for creativity and originality and the winners will be crowned with a certificate of Creative Thoughtfulness.
Entries can be submitted to caty@kibmail.co.uk
*Deadline for entries, March 8th 2021*
If you are interested, you need to book their space via apprenticeships@geh.nhs.uk

We would love students at Aylesford to volunteer to write general letters to share with older residents in care homes. These can be emailed to me foulkes.j@aylesfordschool.org.uk

COVID-19 Self-Isolation
Hi Year 11, I just wanted to reach out to those of you currently self-isolating to say hi :)
Staff will be working hard to set work for you over the next 14 days. If you do not receive work for a lesson, make the most of the time available to revise for your upcoming mock exams. Use your revision guides, text books and other revision materials as well as websites such as Seneca Learning, GCSE bitesize and Quizlet. Focus on the areas you find the most challenging and create flash cards, revision clocks and foldable revision. Then have a go at answering exam questions and testing yourselves to apply your knowledge and understanding.
I have added a flexible task on Satchel One called ‘Self Isolation’. Whilst you may not be in school at the moment support is still available. Please feel free to reach out by commenting on the self-isolation flexible 'task'. Your parents and carers can also call/email too.
Stay safe and see you soon. Dr Williams and Miss Anstey

With the recent announcement of a second lockdown we are reminded of the uncertainty the nation faces but what we'll always have throughout this year is one another. Let's continue to look out for one another, support one another and together we'll achieve our full potential.
I'm really looking forward to working with you more closely and I'm always happy to talk. You can now find me in the office opposite staff corridor. YEAR 11 WOOP! :)

Welcome back Year 11! What a year to start of your final mandatory year as an Aylesford student?! Staff have been working really hard to try to ensure the best start for your return to school and tutors, Dr Williams and I are always on hand to offer support if you need us. This year will be tough…you will be sitting your exams at the end of this academic year and you need to make sure that you prepare for this from the moment you start on Thursday. I have planned for tutor activities to link in with useful strategies you will need in preparation for the year ahead so it is vital you make use of this time during each week.
The school day (in the short term at least) will look slightly different for you and may take a bit of getting used to. Rather than go to your tutor room first thing, you will go straight to lesson 1 at 9am and you will see you tutor later at 11.00-11.15. It is important that you all enter school via the Shelley Avenue entrance (this information has already been sent to parents in an email/letter).
I am genuinely looking forward to welcoming you back. Not seeing most of you since March has been strange…my sarcasm may just go up a notch or two given how long it’s been!!
Good luck year 11 with your final GCSE year!
Miss Leith :)
General Announcement
Hi year 10, two more weeks to go!! I hope you’ve enjoyed coming back into school for some lessons, those of you who have been able to. I know that teachers are enjoying being back in the classroom and are also enjoying the zoom lessons that have started recently. If you haven’t handed in the consent form (via email) please get your parents to reply asap so you can take part – without consent, you will not be allowed to join the online lessons. If you and your parents are unsure if you have replied giving consent, email me and I can check for you. Your teachers will continue to set work on Show My Homework for the next two weeks so please try to keep up with the work – if you fall behind because you come into school for a lesson, just message your teacher and ask for an extension.
You will be receiving another tutor call over the next two weeks – your tutor just wants to see how you’re doing, if you have any concerns and if we can help with anything. If you miss a call and want them to call you back, leave a message with the office or email me and I will get them to call you back.
If you have any quizzes/activities that could be used on the website, email myself or Dr Williams and we can pop them on over the next couple of weeks – it might give you something to do over the holidays.
Hope you are all keeping well. Look forward to seeing more of you in school over the next couple of weeks,
Miss Leith :)

General Announcement
Hi year 10,
First announcement on the new year 10 webpage. I hope you are all keeping well! Some of you have had a lesson back in school, whilst I'm sure it was a shock to the system, I really hope you enjoyed being in, having that face to face contact with your teacher and seeing some of your friends. You will have more sessions before the end of this academic year and I hope you're all able to come in, however if you are unable to, try to let your teacher know.
Zoom lessons will start next week. Staff will be working really hard over the next few weeks to ensure you have quality zoom lessons as well as continuing to set work via SMHW so a reminder to keep up with all work and message your teacher on SMHW if you are struggling.
As always, you can email me with any concerns....leith.j@aylesfordschool.org.uk.
I hope you enjoy browsing the year 10 webpage...a reminder that any suggestions you might have for it or if you have a quiz you'd like us to upload, please send your suggestions to either myself or Dr Williams and we'll do our best to get it onto to the page.
Stay safe,
Miss Leith
Themes of the month
Giving
As it is the month of December this month's theme is giving. When we think of giving it is not just about giving gifts. Think about all the other things you can give to family and friends. Can you give your time to help others? Think about the last time you phoned a relative that you don't see that often. You can also give your experience and expertise, can you help a friend who is struggling in lessons and guide them through their work.
At this time of year there are lots of people who will be alone and feel isolated. Can you be the person who helps them this year.
Have a look at the well-being calendar for lots of ideas for each day of the month.
Starting this month and lasting until the end of year 11, I would like you to focus on your GOAL. My vision for you all to finish year 11 with your well-deserved GCSE grades and many lovely memories of the year is rooted in your GOAL. So let's maintain our high standards and attendance, after all you cannot learn if you are not in, let's take responsibility for our revision and our learning to get our GCSEs, let's learn and use coping strategies to manage change and uncertainty and remember to look after our wellbeing in the face of pressures associated with year 11. Let us look after one another and support one another to achieve our full potential this year. Dr Williams
Perseverance
To persevere is to not to give up, especially when things seem difficult or when the goal seems a long way away. It is about pushing yourself through challenges and challenging times, getting you past the hard stuff so you can get what you want. You may also know perseverance as Grit.
Remember that good things don’t just happen overnight, you have to work hard for them. In tutor we recently learned about grit, and how J. K. Rowling had to persevere to get her first Harry Potter book published when the publishers kept rejecting it.
For some of us, we may have missed out on work or understanding over the lock down period. By persevering, you will be able to overcome this gap and feel on track. Accept the catch up sessions offered to you, and don’t forget to ask your teachers for help and support. By persevering now, you’ll harvest the rewards of your hard work next year. By persevering now, you’ll better reach your goals!
Flexibility
Flexibility is about being able to adapt and change. Learning is easier if you are willing to open yourself to new experiences and show creativity to problem solving. Flexibility allows you to deal with new and different situations. It helps you cope when things change and when the unexpected occurs.
Clearly 2020 has involved a lot of change for everybody. We have had to learn to quickly adapt to 'new normals' in our community, such as following the lock down rules. Here in school and all other schools across the country there have been many changes put in place to welcome you back safely. Teachers will show flexibility with their new working style moving around the school, and by following the new rules and routines that have been implemented. If you can show flexibility too, you'll be able to manage the changes more easily. Adjust your expectations and know that not all things will be the same, for now, though many things will be - such as seeing your friends and enjoying great lessons. Adapting to change can be challenging and people will adjust at different rates. Don't be afraid to speak to a friend or teacher if you find change difficult, help is always available.
Commitment
Last month the focus was on striking the balance between work and play. This month the focus has shifted towards how we can keep on going that little bit longer. The summer holidays are fast approaching and many of us are on pretty low batteries. Not only has it been a long term and we're now ready for a break but the change in learning and our lifestyles has been quite mentally draining, especially for those of us struggling with maintaining a schedule without the rings of the school's bells.
Commitment means to be dedicated towards a cause. In the context of this post, the cause is our own individual academic and personal achievements. With just over two weeks left until the summer holidays we all must find the inner strength, dedication and perseverance to keep going. The end of year 10 is in sight, the goal is almost reached. So try and remember why it is you are putting in the hard work already (think back to those motivations from VESPA) and with that in mind keep on going. The hard work you put in now will be worth it, the fruits of your labour will be harvested at the end of year 11. We believe in you all and we trust you'll do what you can to put the final effort in before a well deserved break later this month!!
Mission and Medal
This month, as many of you work so hard on your classwork, either remotely via SMHW, Zoom or in school, take the time to reflect on something we have learned about from our VESPA booklet: Mission & Medal. The mission is the work that you need to do. You can't skip out this stage - it's very important, especially as next year you'll be finishing this stage of your academic journey. But it's also important you strike a work-life balance. Work too hard without a break or relaxation and you can end up operating on half power, or worse burn out. This is where the medal comes into play. The medal is the reward or treat that you get for completing the mission. It could be a socially distanced walk, a catch up with a friend or your family, watching some TV or playing a game. If you've worked hard, you deserve a reward for it. Striking this balance is important - too much mission or too much medal can have negative effects on both yourself and your school work. So as June continues, remember to work on striking this balance and achieving your full potential. Well done.

Surviving Lockdown
Attached at the bottom of the page are two documents which you may find useful if you are finding lockdown difficult. One is a teen survival guide for lockdown full of activities, tools and practices to help manage social distancing and stay positive during the coronavirus lockdown and beyond. The other document is about dealing with negative thoughts and the support available.
October 2020
Life is far from perfect, but there are lots of reasons for optimism. Setting positive goals for the future gives our lives a sense of direction and purpose. And although we face many challenges there are also lots of reasons to stay hopeful. By consciously choosing our priorities we can overcome issues, make progress and focus on what really matters.
Have goals for the future.
Feeling good about the future is important for our happiness. We all need goals to motivate us and these need to be challenging enough to excite us, but also achievable. If we try to attempt the impossible this brings unnecessary stress. Choosing ambitious but realistic goals gives our lives direction and brings a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction when we achieve them.
