Glad tidings

Welcome to another edition of Reigate
College’s On Route newsletter.
improvement programme in Media, IT
and Languages.
So what’s there to report this term? We’re
delighted to have Ofsted inspector HMI
Richard Pemble spending time with us,
working alongside staff so he can get a
first-hand view of how the College ticks
and how we achieve the “stratospheric”
results, as described at the Ofsted conference held here last December.
I recently met with the Headteachers
at St. Bede’s and Ashcombe and we
agreed that, whilst some sixth forms are
reducing the number of subjects that a
Lower Sixth (Year 12) student can study,
we would all be maintaining the entitlement to study four (or even five). This
will not be changing in the foreseeable
future, which I hope you agree is the
right approach.
I spoke with HMI Pemble during halfterm and asked him how he felt we were
doing. He said:
“I see good and even great practice
in many sixth forms but the thing that
singles Reigate out from all the others
is how it all pieces together. Everyone
knows what’s going on at every stage
in a student’s time here and everyone
works as one team to make sure it all
works for the student. That’s everything
from attendance monitoring to learning
support – it really is special.”
There is a great deal of talk at the
moment about Government cuts and
the impact on education. We’re fortunate at Reigate that we’re large enough
to remain financially secure and can
continue to invest in new resources.
Next summer will see the opening of our
brand new Music Centre with state-ofthe-art recording and practice facilities
along with a substantial upgrading and
As many of you know, my daughter
is in the Lower Sixth this year and it’s
a bit spooky receiving letters at home
addressed to my wife, signed by me,
especially when she asks me to explain
what they mean. It has, however, given
me a completely different perspective
on what it’s like to be a parent of a
Reigate College student. The one thing
I’m as certain of as a parent as I am as
a Principal is that my daughter is valued
and cared for and I couldn’t ask for more
than that. Everything flows from this –
maybe this is what HMI Pemble means.

Meet the team players
Invictus Games
A group of Public Services students
and staff were among the lucky few
to get tickets for the inaugural Invictus
Games held at the London Olympic
Park on Friday 12th September 2014.
The event, spear-headed by Prince
Harry, was set up in support of injured
service people and proved to be an
extraordinary show of how sport can
help people overcome their disabilities.

‘tall order’
Results Roundup 2014
The group from Reigate College had
tickets to see the Wheelchair Rugby,
otherwise known as “Murderball”.
A highlight of the day was seeing how
animated both Boris Johnson and
Prince Harry got while cheering along
the UK team!
Media Studies trip
to Sky Studios
Nine enthusiastic Upper Sixth Media
Studies students enjoyed a visit to
the Sky Skills Studio in London at the
beginning of the Autumn Term.
The students were put into groups
and allocated a studio where they had
to work on a short news package,
including a script that the groups then
had to present, film and edit.
The day finished with a tour of the Sky
News floor, which allowed students to
get a glimpse of what it’s like to be in
the news room while live reports are
being filmed.

The visit was a great success giving
everyone who took part a unique
‘behind the scenes’ insight into
Sky News and food for thought for
possible career paths.
Upper Sixth student James Green climbs the rigging on board Tall ship ‘Tenacious’
Completing the Duke of Edinburgh’s
Gold Award is a significant challenge,
however Upper Sixth student James
Green is already well on his way to
completing his Award, with only the
Physical section to go.
Arguably the hardest section of the
Gold Award to complete is the Residential, however James took to the
seas for this section back in February,
spending 10 days on the Tall ship
‘Tenacious’, starting and ending in
Malta, taking in Sicily and Mount Etna
along the way.
James’s trip was organised by The
Jubilee Sailing Trust (JST), a registered
charity whose mission is to promote
the integration of people of all physical abilities through the challenge and
adventure of tall ship sailing. James
commented, “I received a random
email promoting bursary funding for
the ‘JST Leadership @ Sea’ places and
jumped at the chance to complete
the challenge as part of my DofE Gold
Award.” He continued, “To be eligible
for the bursary you have to be 16
to 25 years old and write a 200-300
word statement explaining why you
should get it.”
Once on board, James buddied up
with less able team members to
support them throughout the challenge. Everyone was expected to help
in the kitchens, climb the rigging
and take turns at crewing and night
watch.
James enthused, “The whole experience really boosted my confidence
as I had the opportunity to lead a
team made up of a wide age range
and of different physical abilities.
It challenged my leadership and
communication skills and improved
my understanding of different people’s
strengths and abilities.”
James completed the Gold Expedition in the Peak District back in July,
along with 36 other Reigate students.
He volunteered in an Oxfam Shop for
over a year and regularly helps the Red
Cross by giving first-aid assistance at
events. With only the ‘Physical’ section
to complete, James is intending to do
a six month rock climbing course to
sign off the final part of the Award.

Fantastic results once again at Reigate College
This summer Reigate College achieved
a sensational set of A Level and BTEC
Level 3 results.
●● At A Level the pass rate was an
astounding 98.9%, with 49% of
entries achieving high grades (A*
to B)
●● At AS Level the results were just as
pleasing, with 93.6% of students
passing, with 43% of entries
obtaining high grades (A* to B)
●● BTEC Level 3 results edged ever
closer to 100% with a 99.82%
pass rate
●● The percentage of high grades
achieved for our BTEC courses
were as follows: Diploma 95%,
Subsidiary Diploma 85%, Certificate 76%.
Commenting on the results, College
Principal Steve Oxlade said:
“Our students once again managed
to balance having a great time with
working hard – and this has led to
their amazing success. Commitment
brings pressure but Reigate College
students know that their teachers are
always ready to help them through the
tough times.”
Tall Ship ‘Tenacious’
When asked why so many students
chose to go to Reigate instead of
staying in their school sixth form
Steve added, “School sixth forms just
can’t match what we have to offer
here. You can choose any combination of 35 subjects in an atmosphere
described by our students as a small
university; what more could anyone
want?”
Ex-St Bede’s student Sean Harbottle
(pictured 4th left), who got an A*
in Theatre Studies and Drama and
As in both History and English, and
is now studying American History
at the University of East Anglia
commented, “I don’t think there’s a
word to describe how I felt when I got
my results … fulfilled perhaps… an
intense sense of relief and elation all
mixed together. I definitely surpassed
what I thought I was capable of. I
think I can put a lot of my success
down to the confidence I gained while
being at College and I’d like to thank
the College for all the support it’s
given me. My teachers spent hours
going over past papers and gave us
loads of extra homework, but thankfully it all paid off!”
Roland Carter who was home-tutored
before starting at Reigate, (pictured
far left) got an A in History and Bs in
English and Maths and is now reading
Classics at Glasgow University. He said,
“I got a decent set of results and had
a great time at Reigate. I especially
enjoyed the second year. It was a really
good stepping stone for university.
A lot of the focus in tutorials in the
second year was preparation for UCAS
and lessons became more like lectures,
with more emphasis on researching
things in depth, which is how it is at
university.”
Also photographed is Yusel Demeni
(2nd left) who got two Bs and a
Distinction * and is taking a year
out, Emily Maguire got A,A,A and is
studying Geography at Kings College,
London, and Lucy Maguire (far right)
achieved A*, A*, A and is taking a
gap year to do some youth work, and
then has a place to read Anthropology
at UCL.
Steve Oxlade continued, “We never
rest on our laurels here; being the best
means always looking to improve and
ensuring every student has a great
time and achieves their very best.
When you come to Reigate you know
your future is in safe hands.”

Ambassadorial
roles for Reigate
College students
Up, up and away
Student
Ambassadors 2014
Meet some of our Student Ambassadors
Students Ambassadors are a group
of around 30 students from both the
Lower and Upper Sixth who sign up
to represent the College at different
events and support the many activities the College is involved in - either
within the student population, the
local community or with the College’s
four Partner schools (Reigate,
Warwick, de Stafford and Oakwood).
College Director Sarah Walters, who
oversees the Student Ambassadors
Programme and is responsible for
Partner School liaison, spoke to On
Route about the sorts of activities
Student Ambassadors are involved
in. She explained, “The Ambassadors
have taken on some really important
roles already this term. These have
included assisting with Lower Sixth
enrolments, helping at College and
Partner School Open Evenings and
supporting the Students’ Union with
setting up and running the Freshers’
party. They’ve also helped run our
Gifted and Talented Partner School
sessions that we hold at College, for
students in Years 8 and 9.”

She continued, “Being an Ambassador
is a great way of getting involved in
College life, as well as looking good
on your CV or university application.”
A particular project that a small group
of Ambassadors has been involved
with is the teaching of a Year 3
Polish pupil at Reigate Priory Junior
School. The young girl arrived at the
school in September 2014 with very
little English and the College was
approached by the school to see if any
of our students would be able to help
out. As a result, Darja Bosiha, Caitlin
O’Carroll, Hannah Frost and Patrycja
Paduch have committed to assisting
on a regular basis with basic literacy
and numeracy skills.
Patrycja, herself a Polish speaker
explained why she got involved, “I
came to England as a young girl and
so was in a similar position to the girl
we’re now supporting. Helping her
feels like a great way of giving something back.”
Asked about her role at Reigate Priory
School, Caitlin commented, “We’ve
all found it really rewarding and great
fun too. We get on really well, despite
the language barrier. It’s surprised me
how quickly young children are able to
pick up a new language. She definitely
understands more than she lets on
and it’s amazing to see her progress
so fast.”

Two ex-students talk to On Route about
university life
Will Franks
Former St Bede’s student Will Franks
left Reigate College in June 2013, with
A*s in Maths and Physics and an A in
Chemistry. After a long summer travelling around Europe, Will enrolled at
University College London (UCL) and
is now in the second year of a degree
course in Physics.
On Route: How are you finding uni?
Will Franks: Living in London is
awesome and very busy, especially
now I’m into my second year. My
first year involved large amounts of
studying, sports and socialising. I knew
I had to make the most of my first year
as I’d been warned about it becoming
more demanding later on.
OR: How are you finding your course?
WF: It’s challenging and rewarding
in equal amounts - exam season was
particularly tough, with memories of
coffee and late night study sessions
etched on my mind. I got a First
though, so it was worth it! I still found
the time to take up Men’s Lacrosse
(we won the league), start a business
with two friends back home, and get
involved in a student-run Clean Water
project in Guinea-Bissau.
OR: How did you find the transition
from Reigate College to university?
WF: Transition-wise I had no major
problems. The biggest jump for me was
the Maths element of my course but I
cracked that by putting in a few extra
hours of study in the library each week.
OR: What advice would you give
current students thinking about going
to university?
WF: You won’t look back once you
arrive at uni so try not to worry about it
too much. Also, when you arrive, make
a habit of talking to as many people
as possible and getting involved with
as many activities as you can. London
is the best city to be a student in, but
then I’m biased of course!
OR: What you want to do after uni?
WF: I’m not entirely sure, but I envisage
it being something at the intersection
of Business and Science/Technology.
Ellie left Reigate in 2013 with straight
As at A Level in History, Spanish and
English Literature. She is now in her
second year at Balliol College, Oxford
reading History.
“I didn’t do a Gap Year because I didn’t
think it would be a good idea to take a
year out of education before going to
such an academic university, but I’d like
to take some time out after I graduate.
Studying History at Oxford is brilliant.
You have lots of autonomy, as there are
no compulsory modules, so you have a
complete choice of what you study. I
only have three contact hours a week
– two lectures and a tutorial – so you
have to motivate yourself and get
yourself to the library, or no work will
get done! Balancing the workload with
a really busy social life poses the
biggest problem as there’s always lots
going on socially.
If you’re anxious or unsure about
something before or after you start at
uni, I’d recommend acting quickly, and
getting in touch with people who can
help you – most universities set up
Facebook groups for freshers. There are
all sorts of clubs and activities you can
join and that’s a great way of meeting
new people. The most important thing
to remember is that if you’re feeling
nervous or homesick, you’re definitely
not the only one!

A Year in
Careers
Reigate College
Seeks Former
Students
Are you a relative or friend reading this
newsletter, who was a former student
at Reigate College? If you are, we’d
love to hear from you!
Reigate College is one of nearly 400
state schools and colleges across
Britain that have registered with the
charity Future First to set up networks
of former students otherwise known
as an alumni.
The Careers Department wants current
students to be supported by a thriving,
engaged alumni community that can
complement the careers guidance it
already offers its students.
It’s on the look-out for career and
education role models, mentors or
e-mentors, work experience providers,
governors, donors and fundraisers. If
you fancy getting involved in any of
these, please get in touch!
It doesn’t matter when you left the
College, whether you’re in higher
education or employment, live nearby
or have moved further away, there are
still ways you can help.
Reigate College’s Careers Department works tirelessly, alongside Tutors, Teachers and Support Staff to help put students ‘On Route
to success.’ Here’s a run-down of how staff support students during the College year:

(term time only).
“More than 39 per cent of state
school students don’t know anyone
in a job they’d like to do,” said
Alex Shapland-Howes, Managing
Director of Future First. “If they see
that someone who went to the same
school or college has achieved a
fulfilling and satisfying job, it helps
them see it’s possible for them too. It’s
really important for all students to be
motivated to succeed in the working
world and hearing first hand from
relatable people in interesting jobs can
make a huge difference.”
Joanna Evans, Head of Careers at
Reigate College said, “We signed up
to Future First’s scheme straightaway.
A network of past students with all
their valuable experience will be vital
in helping us to broaden current
pupils’ jobs horizons and equip them
for the world of work.”
Former students can sign up to
Reigate College’s alumni scheme by
following the Former School link on
the Future First website.

Meet Reigate’s team players
College coaches reflect on how their teams have
fared over the Autumn Term.
Thanks to Student Photographer
Raluca Babos for these photos.
Football
First Team Coach: Neil Hadley
The season started off well for the First
Team, beating Redbridge College 2-0
at home in the first Cup match of the
season. That result was followed by a
very creditable 0-0 draw against Wilsons
College, who are a very strong sporting
College with an excellent reputation. It
was very pleasing to see the team match
them in every department. Despite some
key long-term injuries, the nucleus of a
very good side is developing, with a good
mixture of both Lower and Upper Sixth
students. The team’s still very much in
touch for winning the League and Cup
double.
Second team, back row (l-r): Joe Melody;
Max Bicknall; David Chachona; Will Sudell;
Harry Davies; Connor Charman; Ben Ghinn
Front row (l-r): Nathan Church; Jake
Graham; James Elphick; Wesley Edwards;
Bradley Thomson; Daniel Benham;
Aaron Walker
Second Team Coach: Stuart Wilcox
First team, back row (l-r): Benton White, Alex McLean, Matt Rankin, Pat Roche, Rob Little,
Toby Sales-Dupont, Brandon Allen, Joe Elbishlawi. Front row (l-r): Tom Davies, Louis Mills,
Jack Coppin, Ryan Tomlin (Captain), Dylan Charman, Will Sanderson, Lewis Jupp.
Despite a couple of good results preseason, the first League game at home to
Woking ended in defeat. This was followed
by a couple of tough games one away to
Collyers, which we drew 1-1 and the other
against Esher which we lost 4-0. The first
League win was away to Cousldon with our
best result of the season so far. Four goals
from Lewis Collins-Miller added to by Alex
McLean, Max Bicknall and James Elphick,
resulted in a 7-0 win will spur us when
we meet Strodes and Godalming before
Christmas.
Back row (l-r): Daniel Bennett, Kevin Antonio, Sean Murrough, Joe Meese, Adam Moriarty,
Jacob Giles (Captain) Fabian McLaughlan, Joshua Mills, James Milner, Perry Kurn, Ben
Garland, Sam Day. Front row (l-r): Nicholas Whippey, Harvey Boothroyd, Abi Toha, Joss
Hammond, Calum Wand, Gus Locke, Tom Hawgood, Tom Frost, Brandon Harrington
Rugby Coach: Ryan Bull
Reigate College’s Boys’ Rugby Team
reached the third round of the Nat
West Cup for the first time ever, having
beaten Howard of Effingham but then
lost in the next round to a strong Trinity
team. This great result has come about
because of an influx of some talented,
new players and the new dynamic
partnership with old Reigatians Rugby
Club.
The standard of Rugby has improved
dramatically since the partnership
with the Club started. As a result, the
College now fields two Boys’ Rugby
Teams and one Girls’ Team (see photo
on front cover).
Basketball Coach: Steve Crane
The season so far has been about
developing individual Basketball skills and
team work. The students worked hard
to get to know each other, particularly
important given the mix of different
experience. They’ve played above and
beyond what’s expected, putting up a
good fight against some tough opposi-
tion. Their positive attitude is starting to
pay off and a visit from Olympic silver
medal winner & ex-professional player,
Penka Boutchelska, especially inspired
the team and helped them realise how
good it is. It’s great seeing how much
enjoyment they get from playing.

Third Team Coach: Dan Porto
The season started strongly, with two wins
in a row, scoring a massive 17 goals, whilst
keeping two clean sheets. Disappointingly,
the team lost its third game, but this was
Back row (l-r): Rachel Edmondson, Amy White, Vicky Denny, Ella Munn, Alice Cassidy,

Other regular players are Laura Wills, Alice Walker, Annie Oxlade, Rachel Brockman,
Monica Hill, Georgia Heaven, Tess Glynne-Jones, Sophie Brooks, Eve Bradley.
Netball Coach: Carolyn Cook
no reflection on the performances put in by
the players. They’re a great group of players
playing in this side, which should result in a
very successful season!
The First Team has won all its Sixth
Form Colleges League games so far this
season and the Second Team has won
all of its fixtures. In the British Colleges
Tournament – the squad won one
and lost four against some very tough
national competition.
