Wellbeing & Giving Back!

15th December 2020Ms T Jordan

One of the focuses we have looked at this year, as part of wellbeing is ‘GIVING BACK’, the idea of doing good makes you feel good. This links on to a previous initiative of our wellbeing week last year. Staff and students have had the opportunity to GIVE BACK over the past few weeks:

Foodbank Collection

Staff collected for the Arden Foodbank as it is an organisation that lies close to the heart of our school. Many bags of food were collected this week and staff were very generous.

Miss Hughes teamed up with Mr Blazak as part of the house competitions system to add a competitive element for pupils as part of the giving back project.

Each house collected for the Worcester homeless appeal. Students had the opportunity to design a Christmas card for residents at FourAcres which is a local care home we visited during the wellbeing week last year.

The results of the card design competition are here:

So many fantastic Christmas card entries. Here's the final 12. Winner to be revealed tomorrow. #12CardsOfChristmas pic.twitter.com/3XO4wa2SGT

— Studley High House Competitions (@SHSHouseComps) December 17, 2020

Mr Blazak reported that 350 items have been donated by our generous students and their families.


Let’s Celebrate

‘The Let’s Celebrate’ initiative was designed to motivate and support our staff and their wellbeing. Miss Hughes collected positive comments from each member of staff, about someone else they wanted to recognise at school. This was a chance to celebrate and thank staff for the things they do on a daily basis that make a big difference. She then created a wall of positive comments and anecdotes in the staff room.

SHINE Bookclub

15th December 2020Ms T Jordan

This year’s Year 8 Shine Book Club commenced with a lively discussion of Jenny McLachlan’s 2017 novel ‘Stargazing for Beginners.’ The novel focuses on the challenges faced by Meg (a Science geek) who struggles to fit in both at school and at home.

As the novel progresses the main character learns about her own strengths and weaknesses.

The novel was rated highly by all the students in the book club, who found the author’s narrative style engaging and characterisation to be genuinely charming. The novel included clear messages for the contemporary teenager attempting to navigate their way through the modern world.

We are looking forward to our next book club discussion on Wednesday 10 February when we will be evaluating Chris Priestley’s novel ‘Mister Creecher’.
If you are interested in joining the book club please see Mrs Dyde in E3 to borrow a new copy of the novel.

Update – Half Term Reading Challenge

16th November 2020Ms T Jordan

The English Department were delighted to receive so many reviews from books students had read during half-term. We have awarded 100s of house points and written an amazing number of postcards.


We decided, as so many students had entered, to award an extra prize for best review written.
The winner of this was Lola A. Lola read and wrote a review on an adaptation of Northanger Abbey.

All entries were then put into a hat and Mr Rushton pulled out Kayleigh G’s entry.

Both girls received a £10 book voucher.
Also, a special mention to the students of C5, as this form had six entries.
The next competition will be over the Christmas break. Details will follow in the week leading up to Christmas.
Well done again and keep on reading!
Mrs Evans


If you want to take part in this half term’s reading challenge, fill out this form and return to Mrs Evans or your English Teacher by 7th November!

Pumpkin Carving for St David’s Residents

21st October 2020Ms T Jordan

Last week, Year 7 students were involved in carving pumpkins for residents at St David’s House and Queens Cottages, an elderly care facility in Redditch.

Students carved the pumpkins with spooky halloween faces, and staff and residents at St David’s House were really impressed with their efforts.

The residents will now be painting the pumpkins and displaying them, before using them as flowerpots. Students from all year groups have also been making birthday cards for one of the residents at the home who will be celebrating her 100th birthday next week.

Macmillan Coffee Morning!

20th October 2020Ms T Jordan

Each year we host a coffee morning in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support, and we link it into a House Competition to celebrate European Day of Languages, called ‘Bake Time for Others’. This year, things are very different, but we still want to do what we can to support this wonderful charity which is very close to the hearts of many staff and pupils at school.
Macmillan Cancer Support offers help in a number of ways to people suffering from cancer and also their families. Because Macmillan is a charity they can only provide their range of services, from nurses to community volunteers, thanks to amazing supporters who donate money or fundraise.

During the last few years, SHS coffee mornings have helped to raise over £1000. This year, we are raising money tomorrow. All homebakes (cookies etc.) priced at 50p will be sold in support of Macmillan – just pay using your fingerprint and the amount will be sent to this worthy cause.

We are still going to launch the MFL ‘Bake Time for Others’ competition this year. We would like you to bake either a European recipe, or design a Europe-inspired cake. Please send pictures of your cake to Mrs Morgan at vmorgan@studleyhighschool.org.uk to enter the competition and earn house points. Mr Prince, our catering manager, will judge the entries and there will be extra house points for the best ones!

As well as entering the competition, perhaps you could display one of the Studley values: charitable. Why not host your own coffee morning for your family during half term? You could sell slices of your competition entry to raise money, or set up a donation box. Remember to take pictures if you host a mini coffee morning and email them to Mrs Morgan, again to achieve extra house points.

This is always one of my favourite events of the school year and we are so privileged as a school community for how many of us get involved. Let’s make 2020 no exception!
