Trip to The National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships

As winners of Sandwell Schools Indoor Rowing League on Tuesday 16th March 2010 we travelled by coach to Battersea Evolution, Battersea Park, London to participate  in The National Junior Indoor Rowing Championships (NJIRC), the biggest junior event of its kind in the world.
 
Forty seven of our students from Years 7 – 12’s participated. Every student took part in: an Individual Event ( 2 minutes for Year 7’s, 3 minutes for Year 8’s, right up to
6 minutes for Year 11’s, with Year 12’s having to row 2000 metres in the fastest time); either the Sprint Relay ( 2000 metres, teams of 4  - we entered three boys’ teams and five girls’ teams from Years 7, 8, 9 and 10), or the Boat Race ( 6780 metres, teams of 8 - as only Years 10, 11, 1 2 and 13 were eligible we entered one boys and one girls’ team).
 
Many of the top teams were rowing clubs that had entered or schools that either, rowed on water as well as trained and/or competed in indoor rowing competitions or had teams made up of students who rowed for their local rowing clubs. Some teams had International rowers. Indeed, a new British Record was recorded by Sebastian Adams, a Year 7at Royal Liberty School when he rowed 580m in just two minutes.
 
BHTC may not have broken any British records or won any medals, but in my book – they were all winners and should be congratulated on their performances, enthusiasm and impeccable behaviour on the day.

Professional photos (some of our students) and all results are all up on the London Youth Rowing website: http://www.londonyouthrowing.com/events/njirc/previous-years/njirc-2010-results but notable performances were from Alex Bruce and Ella Beard in Year 11 who were 24th and 25th respectively and Lamar Mc Intosh in Year 10 who was 37th.

The whole event was filmed by BBC Sportsround, so we might be on the telly! It will be featured on the Friday show on Boat Race weekend - Friday 2nd April - 6:30pm so don’t forget to look out for any of our students.

Celebrating Success

We have more reasons to celebrate here at Bristnall Hall after we were named the most improved school in the Black Country.   Our latest exam results showed that 73% of our students achieved five or more A* - C grades at GCSE (43% of these including English and Maths). This is a 19% increase over the previous year in the 5A* - CEM figure.
 
Well done to all of our students and staff for all their hard work in achieving these grades. Let us hope that we can build on this achievement to secure even better results year on year.
 
As well as our exam success, we would like to congratulate two former students on their further achievements.
 
Gurbinder Manku won the Black Country Star Pupil Award for 2009 for her outstanding exam results and accomplishments. In year 11, Gurbinder was Head Girl and represented pupils in school and during meetings with the community. As well as this responsibility, she was also peer mentor, a role that involved supporting younger students.
 
Gurbinder is now a student at King Edward VI College in Stourbridge after achieving an impressive 9 A* / A GCSE grades and is hoping to have a future career in Law or Optometry. 
 
Thomas Kidney achieved exceptional results during his time at Bristnall Hall with 10 A* / A grades at GCSE. He then continued to King Edward VI College to study his A Levels and has gained a place at Oxford University where he is currently studying History and Politics.
 
We wish them both continued success.
 
Other achievements include one of our current students, Jordon Lee. Jordon has been learning coaching skills at the Meadows Sports College in Oldbury which specialises in teaching young people (11 – 19) with complex and profound disabilities. He has become an asset to the Meadows staff during his time assisting them.
 
Our final success story is that of Wolverhampton University student Sadia Shariff. Sadia, who is currently studying Mathematical Sciences, has been helping students at Bristnall Hall with their Maths as part of a scheme run by The Black Country Challenge in association with the DCSF’s City Challenge project. Assisting Safia Ali, the Area Leader of Mathematics, Sadia has helped to raise student confidence in the subject whilst at the same time set realistic challenges for those students pushing ahead.
 
As a result of her experience with us, Sadia has enrolled as a GTP student and begins her teaching career with us in September.
 
We wish her well.

 
Maths Exam Success

Here at Bristnall Hall Technology College we are always proud to recognise our student's achievements, especially during exam periods. Recently students in years 9, 10 and 11 sat their Maths module exams with many of them achieving grade A*-C.
 
Well done to all our students.
 
 
 
 
The Black Country Challenge web portal contains links to over 1500 Key Stage 4 revision documents to help students revise for their exams. Year 10 and 11 students should find the site very useful.
