HEADTEACHER’S NEWS
Tuesday 14th October
As you may have heard, three public service
unions were proposing to take national strike
action next Tuesday. The strike action has
now been cancelled and all schools including
JRCS will be open as normal on Tuesday 14th
October.
Sixth Form Open Evening
I just wanted to take this opportunity to thank
all our Year 11 parents who came along to
the Sixth Form Open Evening with their sons
or daughters on Thursday Evening. I am
sure that you found the event informative and
that it helped give a clear idea of the range of
courses available in our fantastic Sixth Form.

GENERAL NEWS
Jo Richardson has ‘wonderful’ Sports
Leaders
On Thursday 2nd October, Miss Boulton and I
and 30 Year 10 Sports Leaders were involved
in helping to organise and run the Borough
Primary Cross Country event in Mayesbrook
Park. As part of the Sports Leaders Award,
students have to act as officials and, following
a rehearsal on our own school field, the
students acted as Course Marshals, Hare
and Sweep, (running at the front and behind
the racers to keep them on track), finish
officials and results officials.
It was a very busy afternoon for everyone,
especially those handling the results. Our
students did an amazing job and were
described by Elaine Burgess (one of the
event organisers) as ‘wonderful leaders’.
Very well done to the following students for
representing the school in such a positive
way: Oreoluwa Olayinka, Pamela Dicko,
Malcom Ennin, Kelechi Ogbonna,
Aydin Phillips, Chris Randall,
Sarah Singleton, all 10E, Kerri Edwards,
Mahtab Kailey, William Sach all 10F,
Ella Brookes, Lilly Cooper, Maisie Edmead,
Safia Essa, Leanna Garrett,
Oritsetimeyin Jaconmi, Maisie Edmead,
Louise Toms, Danica Wells, all 10G, and
Marien Balla, Annie-Marie Gullefer,
Jack Knight, Laia-Louise Marsden,
Jessica O’Rourke, Oliver O’Sullivan,
Tamikka-Lee Padmore, Maddie Ramsey,
Ellie Sanderson, Moyin Adetoye,
Lewis Smith, all 10H.
Thanks also goes to Miss Boulton who did a
fantastic job with the results table team!

Year 7 Geography Students
We are planning on taking the Year 7
students to Barking to learn about the new
developments over the next few weeks. This
will take place during their lessons. Students
have been given stickers to put into their
planners on the relevant dates. For the
students to attend this trip, parents/carers
need to sign next to this sticker to provide
parental permission. Thank you for your help
and support.

Charity
Fundraiser
On Saturday 4th October students from the Jo
Richardson Community School participated in
the charity event at the May and Baker Sport
Social Club to support Macmillan Cancer
Support in memory of Sheryl Taylor. Post 16
students Lauren Brent, Aston McCoy,
Ashleigh Brown, Job Ford, Charlie Rogers,
Danny Nicholls, Joe Morris, James Haynes,
Joe Brand and Jordan Dunn, along with Year
11 boys Harvey Patching and Charlie
Pulham, all took part in this event.
They arrived at 11.00am to help set up
individual stalls and left the event at 4.00pm.
The individual stalls consisted of the Bottle
Raffle, Hook a Duck, Golden Treasure and
Play your Cards Right which the business
students organised to help raise money and
support this cause.
In addition to the event, the students also
sold charity wrist bands in school. Overall
they successfully raised over £550 for this
charity. Several members of staff also helped
out and brought their families along.
The Year 7 netball team have had their first
taste of competition. Their first match was
against Warren School last Thursday. They
were losing after the first quarter, but then
worked well as a team and pulled level by
half time. Then they won each quarter after
that and stopped Warren from scoring any
further goals.
The final score was JRCS 4 – Warren 2.
A great effort by all team members. Players
of the match: Danielle Nnadi 7F, Ire Ajola 7F
and Silvia Martin 7E.
They continued this winning run when they
played Barking Abbey on Monday this week.
A close fought game, which was always
within one goal, but another strong five
minutes in the second half meant JRCS
forged ahead with three minutes to go, and
the final score being 6-4. Player of this match
was Joy Osayiwu 7F.

Students! Did you know you can see if your
personal books have a quiz on Accelerated
Reader?
Just go to: www.arbookfinder.co.uk to see if
your book is on the AR Quiz list. Remember,
the more quizzes you take, the more points
you earn, and points make prizes!
Please See Ms Osland or Miss Higgins for
any more information.
Don’t forget Ms Osland has been working
hard to colour co-ordinate those books in the
library that all have quizzes. The colours
mean they have quizzes! So go earn yourself
some points today.
JRCS are now collecting vouchers from the
Morrison’s Let’s Grow scheme. We will
redeem these for gardening equipment and
seeds for the Peace Garden which is now
under construction. Please drop them into
the box at the School Office.
Thank you.
