I am proud to be Headteacher of Prospect School for very many reasons – most of all because we are a community in which tolerance, diversity and inclusion are our most important values and underpin everything we do. The horrific events that occurred in Minneapolis on May 25th were deeply shocking for all of us.

It is clear that as a school community we need to go beyond the notion of ‘equality’. All our students and families matter, but we must recognise that equality does not necessarily bring fairness. Rather, we need to look first at ‘equity’, by identifying and addressing inequality through specifically

focusing on those who experience it. We need a systemic change to ensure that we have a just system in which we offer equal access to both resources and opportunities.

Mrs Vacy-AshBeen a strange two weeks , I’ve spoken to loads of North

House students, some are enjoying the lockdown, others

just want to come back in and all are missing their friends

– I’m missing the routine of coming in to school and

having my days all planned out for me and of course I’m

missing all of you.

Have been doing a bit of clearing out and have found

some funny photos of me when I was younger.

I believe this was a look from the 1980s! Not too sure

about the hair all wrapped up in a ribbon!

And then a cute one of my

family way back when the

kids were little.

Buddy my dog says that his life is far more exciting than

mine. He even went into school during lockdown to make

sure all the humans were social distancing.

Have a wonderful week and catch up with you soon.

Mrs Vacy-Ash, Deputy Head of North House

MRS EVANSHello East,

Wow another week of home schooling and things are

starting to change for us all again with lots more Live

lessons. This is a huge challenge for many of your teachers

(especially if they’re like me) so please do turn up to the

Live lessons, we need encouragement too!! You’ll benefit

so much more than doing it by yourself.

Hope you all had a good ‘holiday’ (at least had a break

from work) and have started to benefit a little from our

extra ‘freedom’. I was able to go and see my mum for the

first time on the weekend and had a very weird lunch

with her sat at different ends of the garden!

I have continued with my exercise taking advantage of

being able to go a little further. I’m still running & biking

from home but extending those miles. Completed a few

60mile bike rides exploring some different areas. The

miles seem a little less painful when there are new views

to see. That’s one of my challenges when deciding where

to go… speaking of which, my husband’s got too much

time on his hands – he’s planning our ‘holiday’ for next

year – biking from Land’s End to John O’Groats!! Eeek!

I had entered the Reading Half Marathon back in January

and was doing well increasing my training miles. I haven’t

run a race for a while so it was a bit disappointing to have

to put that on hold. I’ve kept up my running but not

completed any long runs until this week when I found

myself knocking out 18miles. It was a bit tough and legs

have been a little stiff for a couple of days but felt good

after and very pleased with myself – it’s always good to

push yourself, maybe I’ll start thinking of a marathon!

My virtual bling

Page 9: PROSPECTPRIDE IN › wp-content › uploads › 2020 › ...improving with the more practice I do. Last weekend I met some friends in the local park, socially distanced of course

MRS EVANS CONTINUED

In comparison I also entered another virtual race, this time

it was a ‘fastest mile’ challenge. Now this was painful in a

totally different way but I surprised myself and now have

a target to try and beat next time. I wouldn’t have done

this normally because it hurts to run flat out & give it

everything you’ve got, as I’m sure you know, sometimes

you just need that extra little incentive and a little nudge

in the right direction. Have you pushed yourself? Tried

something new? Worked really hard on something?

Anyone completed the House Fitness challenge? How far

did you go? Please let us know.

Just a thought to take on board this week. We can look

at ‘freedom’ in many different ways. I hope the last few

months have made you appreciate the things that we are

able to do everyday. With the news over the last week

about protests and racism we should also think about

how we live together and treat everyone in our

community. Make the most of your opportunities,

embrace our cultural differences and ‘Show racism the

red card’. https://www.theredcard.org/

So, look after yourself, keep

yourselves fit and healthy

and it would be great to

hear from you. When things

are chaotic, lively and oh so

busy, we often wish for

those golden moments

where everything goes quiet

and we have a bit of calm

but now we have it we do

miss you, your chatter and

the hustle & bustle!

Take care

of East House

Mr PARRYWell here we all are again! And already

knee deep into the last term of the year!

How are things with all of you? I think if

ever there was a phrase that most suited

my experience in lockdown, it has been

‘never a dull moment’. There’s always tons

of things to do! Arranging work and

checking in on students, chatting to fellow

members of staff, teaching our children

and attempting to do any DIY job I can

around the house (so far, not very

successful, I must be honest). Oh, and

excessive vacuuming!

During our time at home we have become

keen bird watchers. During lockdown it

has become far more apparent what type

of birds are frequenting our garden. We

have installed some bird feeders and my

wife has even made bird food. I won’t say

too much more on that subject other than

the recommended recipe for birds is a

mixture of lard and dried worms!

There have been a lot of things that have

happened in the last few weeks and

months, both here in the UK and across

the world and I suppose at times it can be

quite a lot to take in. Sometimes it is

worth keeping ourselves a bit balanced

from all of it as much as we can. I think

one way to help this is to focus on the

little things to help us keep perspective.

We have a jar that we keep on a shelf in

our kitchen. It has some little bits of paper

and a pen next to it. Whenever anyone in

the family has an idea or something they

would like to do after lockdown is over,

they write it down, fold it up and put it in

the jar. So far there have been ideas such

as ‘Visit Disneyland’ or ‘Go to Legoland’

...and these are just MY suggestions! But

joking aside, it has been a nice idea to

think of little things that we can all look

forward to doing when the time is right.

If you need to talk about anything or

just clarify something you are not sure

of, please do remember to send either

me or Mr. Gerrard an email.

Hang on, was that a fledgling blackbird in

those bushes again? Right then!- hand me

the dried worms please...

Take care and stay safe,

Mr Parry,

Deputy Head of South House

MISS JELLEY

Hello West House,

I hope you are all keeping well and staying safe. I can’t

quite believe it is now June and we only have a month

left ‘in school’! Keep up the hard work attending your

online lessons and keep your brains ticking over.

This week the news hasn’t been very pleasant but I have

been using music to keep myself positive. I think I have

been playing my saxophone more during lockdown than

I have in the last 5 years. But I am noticing that I am

improving with the more practice I do.

Last weekend I met some friends in the local park,

socially distanced of course. It was nice to see them

again and talk about how we are all feeling during this

uncertain time. It is very important to talk about how

you feel, rather than store it all inside. I certainly felt a lot

better after talking!

Despite the weather not being as nice this week I have

still managed to get out and go for a few walks. I’ve

been keeping on top of my 3 workouts a week too! My

favourite artists to listen to whilst exercising are Stormzy,

Drake and Kanye West.

If you have any worries or concerns don’t forget you can

contact Ms Smith or me!

Keep safe and keep healthy,

Miss Jelley

‘A door is…’ poetry Our Year 7s and 8s produced some

amazing poems about doors in their

Live Lesson on Monday 1st of June!

We are so proud of all your efforts,

creativity, ideas, kindness, and willingness

to participate! See you every Monday!

Miss Clay-Smith, Miss Hyde, Mr Farrall

and the rest of the English Department!

A door is a world of possibilities,

Where anything can be on the other side,

Sometimes the monster will try and hide,

They will go through the wide open door,

Sometimes you will fall through a hole,

Going through that door will lead to a passage

no-one has been before,

Just think of it,

A world of open opportunities waiting at the

push of the handle,

From a mysterious light going to the dark night,

Sometimes you won’t come out.

Or you can but don’t want to as the magic is

memorisable, unable to go you sit away for the

way you think

A door is anything....

A DOOR IS...A door is an imaginary portal to a different world.

It can be closed forcefully.

Or opened peacefully.

A door can be filled with excitement.

It can also be filled with hate or dread

these are most likely defined by your choices

A door is a way of safety.

It can be turned safe with a lock to make an

unstoppable force.

After that it turns into a barrier.

A door can help you find a certain place.

Or get you lost if there are too many.

It has a way of helping and a way of disobeying.

A door can be used to make safety.

Secure a dangerous person from the world.

Or sometimes maybe trap an innocent one.

A door can lead to mysterious places.

It could be a gateway to hell.

Or lead to a stairway for heaven.

A door is a way to protect.

You protect yourself from danger.

Or the item someone wants to take.

A door can protect in bad ways.

It can help a wrong cause.

Or bring an imaginary world to a halt.

Jack Morgan

I opened the magical door,

And saw a wonderful land.

Coloured mountains,

Flying beasts and

A wonderful environment.

Witches laughing, dragons roaring,

Giants roaming the land.

MORE A door is...… PoemsA door is unknowing, full of secrets

Not knowing what’s behind it ,

A door is a mystery also an adventure to be set free.

A door is an escape when the world becomes too

much for me ,

Leading me into a new world a life .

Even though it’s an object it’s my protection .

Yusiah B

A door is a mystery

You never know what lies behind

It could show your history

And help you along your way

Jasmin A

A door is protection,

a door is isolation,

a door is a prevention,

a door is a divider of a section.

A door does the opposite of subjection,

a door keeps at bay infection,

a door can perform rejection,

a door can also perform ejection.

A door is interjection,

a door is a solid projection,

a door can be over protection,

a door is always an exception.

Hisham H

A door is...

Doors are ugly and beautiful.

They can start and end lives.

They can lock you up and

set you free.

Doors open and close.

They want to pull you in and push you out.

Doors could help or abandon you.

Most of all doors are different;

They hold possibility or none at all.

They are nowhere and everywhere.

Doors hurt you and help you.

They kill and save you.

Doors are a contradiction.

It could be anything you dream of

Only some open the door

But still you’ll never know

A door is..

A safe or dangerous place,

Is mysterious and overwhelming,

You want to see what’s behind it,

It’s tempting just to turn the door handle

if it has one,

It’s an extremely unique door.

Ruby S

A door is an opening to another world

A door holds secrets that have twirled

Behind the door is a mystery

And could show your history

It may look colourful

It may be frightening

Anything can hit you

Like a struck of lightning

A door is magical

But stay tactical

A door can change your lifetime

Don’t start a crime

The grey door,

Maybe its the moon,

Aliens floating around their house

Go and Open the door

Maybe you can see your future

Boiling the kettle after work

Go and Open the door

Maybe it’s heaven

Hiding behind the dark door

Go and open the door

It could be your wants and needs

It could be your deepest darkest secrets

What is through the door?

Open it and find out.

Katie Lannon

The scarlet door is violence,

A symbol of blood and death

One which can steal that which you hold close

And bring out the rage inside you

Despair creeps out of the door

You will lose everything to this door

To the demon on the other side

Jamie Braham

Through the royal blue door

Is a temptation

Through the royal blue door is life

Or it could be what you want it to be

The royal blue door is the future or the pass

The royal blue door can be evil or good

It brings us all to whether to laugh and cry

The blue door can be anything you want when

you put your mind to it.

YEAR 8 Poems BASED AROUND 'GOING THROUGH A DOOR'

Page 27: PROSPECTPRIDE IN › wp-content › uploads › 2020 › ...improving with the more practice I do. Last weekend I met some friends in the local park, socially distanced of course

Go on,

Open the red door,

It may not be what you think!

It could be fire, fury and conflict,

Or it could be positive?

The one of two colours of our English flag,

The one of three colours of our Union Jack.

Through this door,

Patriotism hits you right in the face.

Go on,

Don’t be shy,

Open the door.

Finlay

Stratford

Go and open the door

even if you know not what lays ahead

you might see a face

or just a memory

Go and open the door

Maybe there is a palace or a mansion

or an alley full of litter

Maybe the sun is shining bright to show you

a clear path

Or he hides behind the shadows

and leaves you in a dark labyrinth

Go and open the door

Maybe you’ll see a pallid face, sweat trickling

down it

It’s body crouched down, looking terrified

Or maybe you’ll see people you love

Go and open the door

Maybe you’ll see yourself in the Mirror of Erised

covered in gold and riches

Or surrounded by the people you love, and the

people you lost

LOCKDOWN PLAYLISTWelcome to the #prideinprospect lockdown playlist – we hope you’ll enjoy listening to these tunes nominated by your teachers…keep listening, we’ll keep adding to it…

If you’ve got any suggestions, please email them to [email protected]

#prideinprospect by mezley

A big shout out to our very own

‘North Country Boy’, Mr Littlemore,

who grew up very near to the

Charlatans’ home town of

‘Sproston Green’.

Mr Alexander suggests that you

take the Stereophonics advice and

‘Make Friends with the Morning’

– try getting out of bed before

lunchtime!

Mr Ackroyde thinks that Frank

Turner’s advice to ‘Be More Kind’ is

perfect right now

Mr Ridgus has been pondering

about ‘Isolation’ (Joy Division), and

agrees with The Smiths that

‘Heavens knows I’m miserable

now’

Ms Morris agrees with the Foo

Fighters and says that it’s ‘Times

Like These’ time and time again.

Mr Priddey was in school on

Monday, and said it was just like a

‘Ghost Town’ (The Specials)

Mrs Jewell hopes you’re not

forgetting your maths, and

suggests you listen to ‘Man’s Not

Hot’ by Big Shaq to remind

yourselves of some quick maths…

Mr Chaplin urges you to follow

The Police’s advice, and

‘Don’t Stand so Close to Me’

Mr Lyddon is very

disappointed that Alice Cooper

thinks that ‘School’s Out’

before he’s even started

Mrs Pate is getting quite Disturbed

by ‘The Sound of Silence’.

Mr Birk seems to be quite chilled

about the whole thing and says

‘Whatever’ by Oasis is his go-to

tune at the moment.
