The Great Ansford Shave Off has been a wonderful success with £105 raised via online donations and cash received during the event. Students and staff alike enjoyed the spectacle of Mr Sandy, Mr Mitchell and Mr Willson shaving off their moustaches!
Thank you to all families that have donated and helped us make a difference for Movember, the leading charity changing the face of men’s health.
Tuesday 10th December

We wanted to remind you about the NHS Somerset app that was launched in the summer. The Tellmi App supports the mental health and emotional well-being of children and young people in Somerset, through pre-moderated peer support, where young people can safely talk about difficult issues including relationships, friends, college, anxiety, appearance, exams, break ups, Covid and learn how to help themselves by helping each other. The App
gives pupils the ability to share their worries anonymously and get support from other young people, the app is easy to download and is completely FREE . More detailed information can be found on their website www.tellmi.help/about
We’re lucky to have a 45 minute lunchtime at Ansford and this gives students a brilliant opportunity to take part in clubs and events.

Our Lunchtime PE clubs are:
Monday: Year 7 Multi-Skills club with Mrs Grove
Wednesday: Year 7 and Year 8 Indoor Hockey with Miss Thomas
Thursday: Key Stage 4 Basketball with Mr Darby

In order to learn well, students will need basic stationery and equipment provided by families. In order to reduce wasted learning time, and to encourage all students to maintain excellent organisational skills, the following items are required each day:
– Black ball point pens
– A purple pen [used when responding to feedback]
– Pencils
– Ruler
– Eraser
– Pencil sharpener
– Compass
– Protractor
– Compass
– Scientific calculator
– Water bottle [refill stations are available during break and lunchtime]
Students will also need to be mindful of other items which are required for practical lessons such as PE or Food Practicals.
GCSE students will also find it useful to bring the following items to support their learning and exam preparation: revision cards, highlighters, folder with plastic wallets.
These items are also available in school through spending positive rewards points at the end of each half term.
Bus Passes
If your child travels using one of the school buses, they must ensure they have a valid bus pass each day. The drivers reserve the right to not permit students onto the bus if a pass cannot be produced when asked.
