Foreword from the Headteacher
Foreword from the Headteacher
From Mr Craig Thomas, Headteacher
Earlier this term I was fortunate enough to meet a gentleman who was a student at the school when it first opened in 1958. He had some amazing stories of what life was like in the early days at Bartholomew and brought with him some fascinating memorabilia.
We are currently in the process of developing our alumni programme at the school and will be finding ways to better engage with former students whether it be those from many years ago or those who have left us more recently. Look out for our communications in this area over the coming months as we look forward to putting together our first alumni event during the summer term.
I'd like to wish you and your families a very relaxing Easter break.
Governing Body Update
Governing Body Update
From Dr Lucy Dickinson, Chair of Governors
Governors met last week and were grateful to our School Counsellor who spoke about the invaluable support she offers to students experiencing mental health challenges. We were also inspired to hear about the role of our Year 13 student counsellors in mentoring Year 7 pupils—a powerful example of peer support in action. With exam season approaching, we know that many students may be feeling the pressure, and we are grateful to all staff for their continued dedication in helping students feel prepared, supported and confident.
Governors also heard about the wide range of careers initiatives taking place across the school, including those that highlight less familiar career paths. Plans are underway to further involve alumni, parents and members of the local community in sharing their experiences and broadening students’ understanding of the world of work. We would like to thank those who have already given their time to support the careers programme.
Meanwhile many more entertaining activities and trips have continued this term. Governors attended the recent Battle of the Bands and were hugely impressed by the confidence of the performers, as well as the enthusiasm of the audience. It was lovely to see students engaged in this way, ably supported by student technicians and the music department. Elsewhere, students have been offered opportunities to try djembe drumming, sailing, and theatre performances in other languages to boost their listening comprehension —just a few examples of the many opportunities available beyond the classroom.
Do keep an eye open for information on future events and encourage your young people to try something new.
Best wishes for a relaxing Easter break.

Bartholomew Team Takes on New Oxford Maths Challenge
Bartholomew Team Takes on New Oxford Maths Challenge
From Ms Shao, Mathematics Department
On Saturday 8th March, four of our Year 12 students headed to Jesus College, Oxford, to take part in the inaugural Oxford Team Maths Challenge (OTMC). Representing Bartholomew under the brilliant team name The Uncommon Denominators were Izzy, Joel, Hyeongbin and Tom, pictured below.
The OTMC is a brand-new competition organised by the Invariants Society—Oxford University’s student mathematics society. The aim is to provide a fun and intellectually stimulating event that gives students a flavour of advanced mathematical thinking and problem-solving.
The day featured four challenging rounds, a fascinating lecture on Knot Theory by Oxford mathematician Dr Basualdo-Bonatto, and some well-earned perks—including free OTMC T-shirts and a Domino’s pizza lunch!
Bartholomew’s team performed brilliantly, placing 11th out of 20 and earning Bronze certificates. We hope this experience offered a rewarding insight into where a passion for maths might lead—and that the day was as enjoyable as it was inspiring.
Visit to the Institute of Biomedical Engineering
Visit to the Institute of Biomedical Engineering
From Mrs Malik, Head of Science
Year 12 students recently enjoyed a fascinating visit to the University of Oxford’s Institute of Biomedical Engineering, gaining valuable insights into this exciting and rapidly evolving field. The trip offered a brilliant opportunity to explore the subject areas and wide-ranging career paths within Biomedical Engineering.
Students were captivated by three inspiring lectures on cutting-edge research, delivered by leading experts in the field:
Prof. Robin Cleveland shared the science behind Healing with Sound, explaining the physics of therapeutic ultrasound.
Prof. Malavika Nair discussed Building Back Better, highlighting advances in engineering tissue repair and regeneration.
Prof. Ting-Ting Zhu explored the role of Machine Learning in Health, demonstrating how AI is transforming modern medicine.
The visit sparked plenty of curiosity and conversation, leaving students inspired about the future of healthcare innovation.

Swire Chinese Language Conference
Swire Chinese Language Conference
From Ms Guo, MFL Department
On 21st March, our Year 9 Mandarin students had the incredible opportunity to attend the Chinese Student Conference at Manchester Grammar School. The event was filled with engaging activities and insightful discussions that left a lasting impression on all attendees.
The day began with an early departure from Bartholomew School at 7.30 AM. Upon arrival at Manchester Grammar School, students were welcomed with refreshments and a warm greeting from Dr. Martin Boulton, the High Master. Edward Watson, Executive Director of the Swire Chinese Language Foundation, followed with opening remarks that set the tone for the day.
One of the highlights was the keynote address by Edward Knight and Ruby Osman from The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change. Their talk, titled "Why bother learning Chinese?" sparked curiosity and provided compelling reasons for pursuing Chinese language studies. The interactive Q&A session that followed allowed students to delve deeper into the topic.
After a delightful buffet lunch, students participated in a panel discussion on "The Future of Chinese Language Learning." The panel featured Chidimma Anyakora, a second-year undergraduate student at the University of Manchester, Will Hart (何威), a popular YouTuber, and Lewys Thomas, Co-director of I’m Learning Mandarin. Their diverse perspectives and experiences enriched the conversation, making it both informative and inspiring.
The afternoon session included a lively student debate on the motion "This house believes that learning to handwrite Chinese characters is a waste of time." Held under the Chatham House rule and loosely in the Oxford style, the debate saw passionate arguments from both sides. The audience voted for the winning team, adding an element of excitement to the proceedings.
The day concluded with tea and a heartfelt farewell, leaving students with new knowledge and a deeper appreciation for the Chinese language. The conference was not only educational but also a memorable experience that will undoubtedly influence their future studies. Parents and students alike can be proud of the enthusiasm and engagement shown by our students at this event. We look forward to more such enriching opportunities in the future!
The Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators
The Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators
From Mr Scott, MFL Department
The Anthea Bell Prize for Young Translators offers UK students at all levels the chance to show their skills in a creative translation of a foreign language text into English. The competition, managed by Queens College, Oxford, is now in its fifth year and Bartholomew students have entered in most years.
The competition is inspired by the life and work of the great translator Anthea Bell. It aims to promote language learning across the UK and to inspire creativity in the classroom. By providing teachers with the tools they need to bring translation to life, the organisers hope to motivate more pupils to study modern foreign languages throughout their time at school and beyond.
Five of our talented linguists entered the competition this year: Astrid and Mariyah with translations from French; and Leo, Robin and Valerie with translations from German. We loved reading their expert, creative translations of the different texts and wish them Bonne Chance, Viel Glück and Good Luck in the competition!

Sixth Form Student Counsellors Offer a Listening Ear to Year 7s
Sixth Form Student Counsellors Offer a Listening Ear to Year 7s
From Ms Palmer, School Counsellor
Our Sixth Form Student Counsellors have continued their fantastic work this term, supporting Year 7 students as they settle into life at Bartholomew. Recently, they’ve been working one-to-one with individual students—an experience that has been both valuable for the younger pupils and rewarding for the Year 13s involved.
These sessions have provided a safe and supportive space for Year 7s to share their experiences, from the highs of new friendships to the challenges of transition. The Sixth Formers have shown great empathy, drawing on their own memories of starting secondary school to connect with the students they’re supporting.
All of our Student Counsellors have received training in active listening, basic counselling skills, and safeguarding, and are guided in their work by our in-house School Counsellor.

EPA Reading Festival on Wednesday 5th March 2025
EPA Reading Festival on Wednesday 5th March 2025
From Ms Selfe, Director of Reading across the EPA
Bartholomew School was proud to host the very first EPA Festival of Reading on Wednesday 5th March 2025, a day dedicated to celebrating the magic of storytelling and the power of literacy. This brand-new event brought together primary school students from across our EPA Trust for an inspiring, interactive literary experience.
We were thrilled to welcome The Brothers McLeod, the BAFTA-winning duo behind the Knight Sir Louis series, and acclaimed author Rhian Tracey, whose latest book I, Spy: A Bletchley Park Mystery has captivated young readers. Throughout the day, students explored the art of storytelling, took part in engaging workshops, and collaborated on presentations to share with their schools on World Book Day.
The excitement was palpable as students asked insightful questions during the Q&A sessions, learned about the creative process, and even had the opportunity to meet the authors and get their books signed. Our Sixth Form students played a key role in the festival, guiding and supporting the younger pupils as they developed their ideas and storytelling skills.
This festival marked the beginning of what we hope will become a cherished annual tradition, fostering a love of reading across our Trust. We are immensely grateful to The Brothers McLeod, Rhian Tracey, and Authors Aloud UK for inspiring our students, and to everyone who helped make this event such a resounding success.

Friendship Bench Project and Non-School Uniform Day
Friendship Bench Project and Non-School Uniform Day
From Milly, Year 12, School Council Head of Communications
Following their recent appointment as School Council leaders and Ambassadors, a passionate group of students has been working hard to ensure that pupil voices are heard and positive changes are made within our school community. The school council is structured into three dedicated teams—Environment, Mental Health & Wellbeing, and Fundraising—each committed to improving different aspects of school life.
This term, we were excited to announce our Friendship Bench Project, an initiative led by our Mental Health & Wellbeing team. The goal of these benches is simple yet impactful: to foster a more inclusive, sociable, and supportive school environment. We understand that making friends or finding a space to connect with others can sometimes feel daunting, so these benches will serve as welcoming spots where students can chat, bond, and support one another.
There will be two benches—one in the lower school playground and one in the upper school playground.
To bring this project to life, we need your support! Our Fundraising team organised a Non-School Uniform Day on Friday 4th April. Students were allowed to wear their own clothes in exchange for a suggested donation of £1 (or more, if you wish!) via ParentPay.
As a special thank you, the School Council arranged a free seed giveaway, issuing free packets of seeds to grow at home over the Easter break.
There is still time to donate via ParentPay if you haven't yet done so; this closes on Friday 25th April.
THANK YOU from the School Council

Bartholomew School Welcomes Former Student for a Trip Down Memory Lane
Bartholomew School Welcomes Former Student for a Trip Down Memory Lane
Bartholomew School was delighted to welcome former student Francis Hunt back to the school on Friday 7th March 2025, as he returned to donate memorabilia from his time as a student. During his visit, Francis enjoyed a tour of the school, met with Headteacher Craig Thomas, and shared fond memories of his school days.
As he explored the campus, Francis recalled his time helping to set up the kiln in the art department and painting stage sets—an early passion that later saw him working for the New Theatre, Oxford. He reminisced about Mr Sharp, the Headmaster at the time, and the porta cabin classrooms used while the old tower block was being built. Among the memories, he also recounted the tragic accident involving a crane operator during the construction.
Francis was amazed by how much the school has grown, particularly the state-of-the-art classrooms in the maths and computing block. He was pleased to see the original art studios still standing, though he noted that the kiln—once tucked away under the stairs—now has a more fitting home in the art department.
Visits like these remind us how much our alumni mean to the Bartholomew community. Hearing stories from former students and seeing how the school has played a role in shaping their lives is always inspiring. In fact, Francis’s visit has got us thinking—wouldn’t it be wonderful to bring together more of our alumni for an event to celebrate our shared history?
