An absolute highlight of the week, indeed the year was the annual House Drama competition which took
place on Tuesday and Wednesday of this week. After weeks of painstaking preparation the House teams
produced unique and wonderful work for audiences who were proud, impressed and enthralled. I cannot
commend the Sixth Form Captains and their teams of talented younger actors highly enough. I had high
hopes and they were exceeded! It is a clear example of the power of the house system; developing
leadership, building talent and above all giving students memorable experiences that will last them a life
time. Thank you also to my wonderful staff who worked tirelessly behind the scenes and especially, of
course, to the Drama team.
The individual student awards are:

• Best actor: Archie Westland-Rose
• Best supporting actor: Louis Double
• Best actress: Sophie Green
• Best supporting actress: Zoe Clarke
• Best team player: Muaz Zaman

Great performances all round, but particular congratulations to the victors of House Drama 2017 –
Nightingale House!

Naturally we are plowing ahead with adoption of “new” technologies at Yateley School and a mere 13 years after their inauguration we now have a Facebook Page! Creating it took me back to the glory days and an opportunity to reminisce about our 2014 Twitter account that we nailed just eight years late…

So please do join us if you have a Facebook account, we’d love you to “Like” the school and see a little more about what we do at https://www.facebook.com/yateleyschool/. If you don’t like the school for any reason then please do contact us… we want to make everyone proud to wear the badge! See you soon on social media!

Below you will see our Year 11 Grades as A*-U, 1-9 and BTEC. Our initial Progress 8 score from the DfE places us above the national average at +0.03, which means that we display positive progress for 3 years running compared to national averages! Well done to all staff and students involved! Please click any thumbnail for a full breakdown of that category.

We are delighted to share with you our 2017 AS and A-Level Results for 2017. These were our best results since 2011 at KS5 and we are delighted that so many of our students in Year 12 and Year 13 were able to achieve so highly! Well done to all involved, so much hard work went into achieving these superb results! 74 of our Y13 students got their first or second choice and we wish them well in the adventures ahead.

We had an amazing 15 students from Year 7 and Year 8 selected to represent Aldershot and Districts Schools Athletics team at the Hampshire Track and Field Championships last Tuesday , they were invited  due to their outstanding efforts at the District Championships two weeks ago. They all competed brilliantly in very wet conditions and contributed to Aldershot winning all four age categories on the day. We had some individual achievements too! We are very fortunate to have two County Champions Harry Ware in the U13  600m and Ed Webb for U13 Discus, however all the athletes performed very well on a very dark and wet day and all should be so very proud of there achievements.
