School Bath ‘Me Tarzan, you mini


Tarzan... aar-aar-aar...!’ WITH THE 100th anniversary of the Tarzan books coming up in 2012, Hazlegrove pupils have already been entering into the spirit of the occasion with their Tarzan Challenge. Children use equipment installed as part of the new


adventure playground equipment to time themselves around a circuit. The school gathers to watch the final competitions at the end of term, the winners receiving Tarzan trophies! Earlier, a group of Year 7 pupils met Andy Briggs, author of the


new Tarzan books, who explained the importance of writing. Reading at Hazlegrove is thriving. The Accelerated Reader


Scheme is popular, setting reading targets with online quizzes to be completed after each book is read. The library recently gained ‘Model Library’ status recognising the work of the staff in fostering an environment that develops reading.


Salisbury Cathedral School pupils gain top music places


STAFF AT Salisbury Cathedral School were very proud at the end of last term to be able to send off each leaving Year 8 pupil to their first choice senior school. Once again the children did


exceptionally well in obtaining scholarships to leading senior schools across the country. Eleven out of the 18 pupils in Year 8 were awarded 17 music, academic and sport scholarships or awards to their chosen schools which included: Wells, Godolphin, Uppingham, Lancing, Cheltenham College, Sherborne, Canford, Dauntsey’s, Warminster, Downside, St Mary’s Calne, St Swithun’s, Chetham’s and St Helen’s and St Katherine’s. Ian Wicks, director of music, said: “This


tremendous record of achievement is a great testament to their hard work and dedication and they are a great credit to their teachers. Among these awards


are two coveted specialist music places. These awards place them in the top 1% of musicians in the country.” Pupils at Salisbury Cathedral School


would be delighted to show you round their beautiful and historic school at their


Gary plans fun at Clayesmore


IT TAKES a great deal of nerve and not a little skill to juxtapose a tweed and croquet day, speed dating, a chocolate fondue, ultimate frisbee golf and Scottish dancing all in one social calendar. Nevertheless, these will be featured during the year as part of the Clayesmore Sixth Form activities programme. The man responsible for bringing this


eclectic collection of ideas for having fun and making friends to fruition is Gary Glasspool, the new assistant head of Sixth Form. Gary has already made an impact on Sixth Form life having spearheaded the plans for the newly named and refurbished common room, henceforth to be known as The Capital. Gary says: “I think one of the most


important things I can do in my role is talk to our students about their initiatives and help them create the kind of sixth form


that makes them happy and that inspires them. These two years are invaluable as preparation for young adulthood and university life, and I am determined that students should have a positive and fulfilling experience.” Gary Glasspool, pictured above, also


teaches the A-level business studies curriculum at Clayesmore.


GODOLPHIN SCHOOL, one of the oldest girls’ boarding schools in the country, has taken a bold step and introduced a junior boarding phase to their already successful senior and sixth form boarding packages. The Junior Boarding House, which will be home to Year 5 and 6 girls from Godolphin Prep and first and second years from Godolphin, has been designed and decorated to suit younger girls.


open morning on October 1, where you will have the opportunity to meet the headmaster and staff. Contact Ann Vos on 01722 555300 or e-mail headsec@salisburycathedralschool.com for details.
