Junior Reflections Week 26 2024

Week 26 - 19 April 2024

Dear parents,

Welcome back

It was super to see so many of you on the gate this week and of course to welcome your children back to school for the summer term. I always enjoy hearing about the adventures that the pupils have got up to and for many, if like me, you were in Devon, it was more about dodging the rain and hail. I am ever hopeful that the sun is going to continue as I know that one of the highlights for the pupils is playing on the field during breaks and lunchtimes.

School grounds

Building work on the sixth form centre is underway with gusto and the pupils are enjoying watching the creation that is unfolding. With this in mind, we had our termly fire alarm to ensure that all pupils are reminded of how to leave the building, and this was the best drill yet. Mr Bone always comments on how well the junior school conduct themselves and this was brilliant – all pupils out of the building in under two minutes and in silence. Our grounds look amazing. Our wonderful estates team have been busy over the holidays ensuring that the school is looking tip top ready for the start, and it certainly does. Thank you!

Staff news

I want to wish Mr Cunningham the very best of luck on Sunday, running the London Marathon in aid of The British Heart Foundation. I will be watching from home and cheering him on. The pupils enjoyed wearing their trainers in support today and thank you on behalf of Mr Cunningham for all your kind donations towards his charity. I am sure he will be sharing his experience with the school on Monday. I would also like to welcome Ms Kat Hodson to the team. Kat is currently standing in for Mrs Turner who is currently absent from school, recuperating from knee surgery, and she will be joining the team in September as a maternity cover Teaching Assistant.

The sun is around for the weekend so do enjoy it and hopefully it will be here for next week as well.

Job Opportunity 🎭🎤
Independent LAMDA practitioner – Opportunity to Provide Private Tuition
 
Exeter School is seeking an experienced and enthusiastic LAMDA teacher to offer private LAMDA tuition to pupils at the School.

This is an opportunity for a self-employed practitioner to establish and run their own LAMDA teaching provision within the School. The successful applicant would not be employed by Exeter School but would contract directly with parents for the provision of lessons and would be responsible for invoicing and collecting fees from parents.

The School would provide suitable teaching space and would work with the practitioner to facilitate lesson scheduling within the School day and/or at other agreed times. Our preferred days would be Monday, Tuesday, Friday and weekends, dovetailing with our two other LAMDA practitioners.

We are particularly interested in hearing from practitioners able to offer tuition in areas such as Acting, Speaking in Public, Verse and Prose and other relevant LAMDA disciplines, and to prepare pupils for LAMDA examinations where appropriate.

Applicants should:
- Have appropriate experience and qualifications in speech, drama and/or LAMDA teaching.
- Have a strong record of working successfully with children and young people;
be able to manage their own bookings, communication with parents and fee arrangements.
- Hold appropriate professional and public liability insurance
- Be willing to comply with the School's safeguarding, child protection, health and safety and other relevant requirements while working on the School site.
 
The arrangement will be subject to the School's usual safer recruitment and safeguarding checks, including an enhanced DBS check and such other checks as are appropriate for a person working regularly with children.

The practitioner will operate as an independent, self-employed provider. They will be responsible for their own tax, National Insurance and other statutory obligations, and there will be no employment relationship between the practitioner and Exeter School.

Some summers are special, and Lamorna's has been one to remember! 🏇

In July, she was selected to ride for the Southwest in the U18 eventing team at Bishop Burton. Then in August, she took on more than 70 riders at the @ukponyclubofficial Championships and finished an incredible third individually in the National Chairman's Cup 🥉 Three days of dressage, show jumping and a challenging cross-country course. What an achievement!

And she didn't stop there. Last week, Lamorna rode for Exeter School in Hickstead's famous International Arena at the National Schools Elite Show Jumping @nsea_est1991. Up against more than 50 riders from schools across the country, she came seventh in the 110cm class and second in the 1m class 👏

All of this has earned her a place in the England team for the Four Nations Cup at Osberton at the beginning of October 🙌

We're so proud of you, Lamorna, and we'll all be cheering you on!
