After two weeks of hard work just before Christmas it was fantastic to gather our Y11 students together in January 2018 to share their mock results. Naturally there was delight and despair amongst our 240 students but the key message of hope remains – there are 15 weeks to change what they’re not happy with and work hard to achieve their very best! 15 weeks remain and if this Year 11 group improve from their mocks to their exams by the same amount as last year’s students they will be a record breaking group; achieving the best results @yateleyschool has ever had. We’re so very proud of each and every student and now is the time to go out and show the world what Yateley students are all about! #empoweredforlife

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!

On Tuesday 31 October eight of our Year 9 G&T students attended the launch of the Programming challenge. The students were given a very broad brief, with the aim being to create a piece of software using Python software to help students in our school with their studies. No pressure!
The two teams will have to give a short presentation on their ideas behind the software and how it works at the finals day in December 2017. On the day a Project manager from Farnborough International gave the students insightful presentation on how he puts together the Farnborough Air Show and the process he has to go through with his team to create a successful event. It was fascinating and prompted a good deal of discussion amongst Yateley students on how to achieve such a complex task.
Yateley have two teams entered into the challenge and we look forward to what the finished product will be ready for December-17… watch this space!
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.
