Equestrian Club
Last year the College rejoined the National Schools Equestrian Association (NSEA)
after restarting its Equestrian Club after a break of a few years. We are looking to enter
teams into the NSEA competition next year. A full list of these can be found at:
www.nsea.org.uk/competition-information/competition-dates
Any students who would like to be involved in the Equestrian Club
this year please contact Mr Lewin: [email protected]
Potential events in the Autumn Term include:
27th September – The College of West Anglia (Cambridge)
15th November - Arena UK (Grantham)
29th November - The College of West Anglia (Cambridge)
Don Bosco Sporting Exchange

Letters will be coming out in the Autumn Term with full dates and details of this years
trip so please contact Mr Lewin if you are keen to be involved this year.
Next Easter students and staff from Uppingham Community College will be visiting
Haacht, Belgium for the staging of the 42nd Sporting Exchange trip between the
two colleges.
The exchange programme is believed to be one of the longest running in the world and
over the years has involved an estimated 9,000 students from the two Colleges.
The exchange came about by chance after former Head of PE Tony Wilks took a
football team from the college on a tour back in 1971. During this tour he met up
ZLWK�%HUW�9DQ�GH�/LQGHQ�IURP�'RQ�%RVFR�DQG�WKH�ĆUVW�RIĆFLDO�H[FKDQJH�EHJDQ�D�\HDU�
later in 1972.
The colleges host the exchange on alternate years and this year Don Bosco brought
114 students across to Uppingham for the competition. These students were a
mixture from Years 7-11, as well as including 6th Formers who competed and a
further 10 members of staff who accompanied the group.

Don Bosco ran out winners in 2014 so the College looks forward to travelling to Don

its 50th year!

where learners develop knowledge and
understanding by applying their learning
and skills in a work-related context. They are
becoming increasingly popular and effective
as they engage and encourage learners to take
responsibility for their own learning and to
develop skills that are essential for the modern
day workplace. These skills include: being
effective in a team, working from a prescribed
brief, meeting deadlines, presenting information
effectively and completing administrative tasks
and processes. BTECs motivate learners, and
provides a platform for progression into further
study and responsibility within the workplace.
Units of work include: The Mind and Sports
Performance, Practical Sports Performance,
Fitness for Sports and Exercise and Anatomy
and Physiology. These units are delivered
through lessons consisting of both theoretical
and practical material. Students are assessed
through written coursework/assignments and
online exams. Of the four units students cover,
two will be assessed through assignment/
coursework and the other two will be assessed
by method of on-screen tests. In total, there will
be six assignments and two exams over the two
