From the Headmaster
Issue Number 578 17th Nov 2017
Dear Parents,
The poignancy and sense of occasion once again
emanated from the three very specific services in which
the school was involved during the period
Remembrance. The school were outstanding in their
adherence to the two minutes’ silence on Friday (the
singing and brass playing being exemplary). The
Chamber Choir performed at the National Memorial
Arboretum on Sunday, in front of gathered thousands
and Sky cameras. It brought tears to the eyes of many of
the veterans; all was very moving and thought
provoking.
Similarly, to be able to pay our respects to the fallen of
the Parish of Foremarke with Ingleby on Sunday
evening at St. Saviour’s was also a fine tribute, again
supported by the Chamber Choir and our brass players.
All reminded us of the ultimate sacrifice so many have
paid and of what really matters in life; the love of our
children, families and the peace and respect of our
society and community.
God Bless the peace keepers and peace makers.
Sporting Success

everyone won a „lucky dip‟ treat!

PLAYTIME STARS AWARD
Year One
Reception Fun
In Reception this half term we have been looking
at celebrations and started the topic with Bonfire
Night. We enjoyed learning about the reasons
for this special time and loved making splatter
pictures, firework cookies and paper rockets.
This week we celebrated our form friends, Lilly
the rabbit and Ollie the owl‟s birthdays. We
enjoyed organising a birthday party for them and
made party hats, cards and even a yummy cake
for them. It was great fun!
Lower School News
Year 4 PSHE
In anticipation of Friendship Friday, Year 4 have
been thinking about what friendship is and what
makes a good friend. They have also been re-
calling examples of friendship shown to them and
thinking about how they could be a better friend
to others.
„A good friend helps to encourage you to „have a
go‟ at something you are unsure about.‟ – Lily-
Anne Miller, 4B
„I remember when my friend gave up their free
time to help me find my lost jumper.‟ – Zoë Mac-
kenzie, 4B
“A true friend is someone that you can always
rely on.” Felix Merlin 4H
“All my friends are kind to me but I remember
this one time when one of my friends helped me
during a hockey match, even though she was on
the other team!” Tess Gowar 4H
„A good friend is someone who helps you. When
I fell over and bumped my head, my friend took
me to surgery.‟ Alfie Pitts, 4O
„When I was new to this school, my friend came
up to me and asked me if I wanted to play be-
cause I didn‟t know anyone.‟ Olivia Clancy, 4O

Sports News
Foremarke‟s 1st XI reached the final of the Burton
& District Cup with a sensational performance at
John Taylor on Wednesday that saw them record
a 7-1 victory. It was arguably the performance of the season so
far as they booked a place in the final, which takes
place on Tuesday 21st November at Burton Albion‟s Training Ground with a 3.15pm kick off.
Burton‟s training ground is situated next to the car
park behind the Pirelli Stadium, Princess Way,
Burton on Trent. IC
Boys’ 1st XI Reach The Burton &
District Cup Final
Foremarke‟s footballers produced an amazing performance to reach the final of the National
IAPS in Taunton last weekend.
After winning the regional qualifying tournament
in style at Summer Fields last month the boys
produced some stunning football at Taunton
against the best football schools in the country.
Our U13s remained unbeaten in the group
stages and scoring more goals, conceding less
and earning more points than anyone else in the
14 team national tournament.
They saw off the challenge of St. Christopher‟s
in the semi-final and met reigning champions
Westbrook Hay in the final.
It was goalless at full time and the boys were
denied victory in a sudden death penalty
shootout but can be suitably proud of their
efforts and performance levels.
It is the first time in a decade they have reached
the last two of the National IAPS football finals
having previously reached the semi-final on three
occasions and they played at a fantastic standard
with some wonderful skill on display.
Second in the country boys – well done you are
a credit to the school. IC

Sports Notices and News
Huge congratulations to the 1st Hockey team who
were quite outstanding on Tuesday at the IAPS
National Finals at Repton. We topped our group
comfortably and went through to the cup quarter
finals against Framlingham. We played a super
game of hockey qualifying for the semis. Our
opponents were Millfield and truly this ought to
have been the final - what a game! It was a
fantastic standard and at full time there was no
break through for either team. We went onto
golden goal, Millfield pressured us and gained a
penalty corner. The pressure so early on in the extra time was immense. Millfield converted
superbly putting them through to the final. The
game really was a worthy final match. We picked
ourselves up and set ourselves up for the bronze
medal match. The girls were quite superb and
dominated the game winning 4-0. Well done to all
and a huge thank you to staff and parents who
came down to support us.
We wish our 2nd team all the best for their IAPS
National Finals next week at Ipswich School.

Music Notice
As per the House tradition the four School
Houses will once again be present at the Christ-
mas Fayre. Each House will run a stall to raise as
much money for charity as they can. This is the
one event where the Houses all work together
rather than competing against each other so
please feel free to donate to any stall.
Tedder will run a cake stall and we are asking for
cakes to be donated just before the Fayre, Mount-
batten are running a sweet stall and any donations
from now would be very welcome, similarly books for the Alexander stall and small wrapped
„lucky dip‟ type prizes for the Wavell stall.
Book donations can be left under the stairs in the
Quad building, sweets, cakes and prizes can be
taken to the office for collection.
Many thanks for your support. The children will
vote on the charities we are supporting this year
in assembly after exeat. The nominations are all
charities that have some connection with the
children so please donate and make this a
successful and life changing event. Many thanks JC.

Well Done Theo!
Huge congratulations to Theo Sanders from the
Nursery. Theo set up his very own Poppy Shop
in order to raise money for the Royal British Le-
gion. Thank you to those of you who visited
Theo‟s shop in the Pre-Prep last week. Theo had
already taken his shop on tour and the visits to
Pre-Prep boosted the overall total raised to near-
ly £200. This is a massive achievement for any-
one, but for a three year old, this is amaz-
ing! Well done, Theo. You are a superstar! KC
