Principal’s Column 

Governors fulfil a largely unnoticed but extremely important role 

in the running of any school. I would like to pay particular tribute 

to our longest serving Hockerill governor, Adrian Cowell, who 

steps down this year after 14 years dedication to the 

development of Hockerill. His advice on property maintenance 

and development has been invaluable to the College throughout 

this time and I am extremely grateful for his personal support 

throughout my tenure as Principal. 

I am very pleased that we have another important addition to our 

list of prestigious Patrons. Will Hutton is currently Chief Executive 

of the Work Foundation, a weekly columnist and former editor of 

The Observer, and author of a number of influential works 

including The State We're In, The World We're In and most 

recently The Writing On The Wall. Congratulations also to 

another of our Patrons who became “Sir” John Sorrell in the 

New Years Honours list. If any parents have links with any 

similarly influential leaders who may share our College's 

aspirations I would be pleased to learn of these. 

I have already met twice with Simon Dennis, who takes over as 

Principal in September. We are confident of achieving a seamless 

handover with, in best relay traditions, no reduction in pace of 

the baton! 

Speech Day will soon be with us, on the last Saturday of term, 

the 28th June. This must be an all ticket event and these will be 

available very soon. The 1,000 seater marquee on Thames Lawn 

provides the setting for this celebration of the individual 

achievements of our students, my annual report to parents and 

an address from our Guest of Honour who this year is Helen 

Bamber OBE. Helen has devoted more than half a century to the 

care of survivors of horror and violence and created the Medical 

Foundation for the Care of Victims of Torture. 

On the evening of Speech Day the Marquee and grounds will 

also provide the venue for the major social event of the year 

which, as last year, is styled “Hampers & Champers”. Musical 

entertainment will be provided by our own students, staff and 

friends of the College. Tickets will be available very soon and last 

year they sold out extremely quickly. In view of the limited places 

for this event I am afraid tickets are only available for over 18's. 

Please do support it and buy tickets as early as possible - you can 

be assured of a really memorable evening.

Jammy Dodgers go 

Underground - The Musical 

Jammy Dodgers go Underground, a musical written and 

directed by a year 11 student, Chloe Tingey, was 

performed in St Alban's Hall four times at the end of 

February by a cast of forty Hockerill students. 

The author of the Jammy Dodgers books, Bowering Sivers, 

who had given Chloe permission to adapt the book, came to 

sign copies at both sell-out Friday and Saturday shows. The 

local Observer had devoted a whole page to the musical, but 

otherwise the audience had no idea what to expect: they 

knew it had been written by a fifteen-year-old and possibly 

begrudged handing over their fiver for a ticket, dreading 

sitting through a couple of hours of deluded teen lunacy! 

However, doubts were fast dispelled as the band struck up 

the first bars of Best Foot Forward, the curtain swung open 

onto the brightly painted caravans of Devil's Acre, and Ma 

(Harriet Pugh) tipped her basket of odd boots all over the 

stage: this was going to be an original, vibrant treat. 

The musical took two years to write and four months to 

rehearse. Including the 

sound and light team, the 

musicians, the backstage 

crew and parent helpers, it 

involved more than eighty 

people and raised over 

£3300, to be split 

The cast receiving a standing ovation 

between Bosco's projects in Rwanda, the Iasi Special School 

in Romania and the Hockerill Development Fund. 

In all, it was a huge amount of fun and effort, bringing 

together students (and parents) from all years. 

An American agent has already asked to see the dvd, so, you 

never know, this show might make it to Broadway! (After all, 

'Joseph' started off as a school production!)

Tudor London 

During March, Year 7 students took a coach to 

London and visited three historical sights. 

Shakespeare's Globe 

The first place that we visited was Shakespeare's 

Globe. Here we were given a tour of the Globe. 

We learnt a lot about the building, the conditions 

in Tudor times, the types of seating and views 

people had of the stage and each other. Next we 

were included in Drama exercises, acting out a 

scene from The Tempest. Our tour also explained 

the actors’ techniques of learning their lines and 

parts and how this is different to today's way. We 

enjoyed this and learnt a lot of historical facts. 

St Paul's Cathedral 

After a short walk across the Millennium Bridge we 

arrived at St Paul's Cathedral, which was the 

group's favourite sight. A guide showed us 

around the building, he explained many 

memorials; such as Nelson's tomb and Sir 

Christopher Wren's tomb as well. The views from 

the highest point of St Paul's were amazing, right 

out on the roof in the Golden Gallery, but many of 

us felt queasy because of the heights. This sight 

added excitement to a great day out. 

National Portrait Gallery 

By now many of the group were tired out, but still 

found enough energy to explore the Portrait 

Gallery. In the gallery we were shown interesting 

portraits form Cubism to Pop-Art and famous 

Tudor pictures 

This was an amazing day out, and one we will 

never forget.

Boarding At Hockerill - 

Lent term 2008 

We are well over half-way through 

this academic year and as usual the 

boarders have had the opportunity to 

engage in a variety of activities. The 

usual shopping/sight-seeing trips have 

been made to Brighton, Cambridge, 

London and Bluewater. A memorable 

evening was the annual fancy dress Rochester Girls in Fancy Dress 

disco with impressive costumes donned 

by many but the most memorable being Canterbury's Snow White and 

the Seven Dwarfs (courtesy of 'seamstress' Mrs Masson). However the 

highlight of the evening was stolen by the resident gorilla aka Michele 

Russo! A splendid evening of Scottish entertainment was organised for 

Burns Night including Mr Sinclair toasting the haggis and culminating in 

an enjoyable Ceilidh. 

This years Boarders' Easter Dinner was 

coordinated in honour of Dr and Mrs 

Guthrie and the Deputy Speaker of the 

House of Commons, the Rt. Hon. Sir 

Alan Haselhurst, MP was invited as the 

guest speaker. Mark Heydenreich kindly 

returned to Hockerill to make his tribute 

to Dr Guthrie having been the Thames 

House Captain in 2002-2003. 

A sumptuous meal was prepared and 

served by Mary Livingstone and her 

catering team with the addition of a 

specially commissioned chocolate dessert 

made by Mr Bekaert. 

The music department then organised a stylish and glamorous cabaret 

as a special tribute to Dr and Mrs Guthrie. 

The St. Alban's girls are very grateful to Mrs Ketteridge for kindly taking 

over some of the duties during Mrs Pierrejean's maternity leave. On a 

similar note, St. Alban's has been indebted to Mrs Guthrie who kindly 

agreed to return as Head of House taking up the helm of the Junior Girls' 

since September. Her efficiency and duty of care to the boarders has 

been hugely appreciated. 

A big thank you to all who make boarding at Hockerill so enjoyable.

Congratulations to Hailey Badger on being elected 

to the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP). UKYP is 

described as enabling young people to use their 

energy and passion to change the world for the 

better. Run by young people for young people, 

UKYP gives the young people of the UK, between 

the age of 11 and 18 a voice, which is heard and listened to by local and 

national government, providers of services for young people and other 

agencies who have an interest in the views and needs of young people. 

Hailey would like to thank all those who voted for her.

Model United Nations 

Students of Hockerill attended the Bath 

Model United Nations Conference this 

March adopting roles as foreign diplomats 

and participating in simulated sessions of 

an intergovernmental organisation. Those 

partaking were then sub-grouped into 

separate committees to argue in the 

interests of their nation; whether it be in 

the aspects of political, disarmaments, health, economic, environment or 

human rights. The conference enabled us all to develop skills in public 

speaking, technical writing, negotiating and conflict resolution. 

The trip commenced with a day of culturally enriching activities in Bristol 

whilst the evening held our first experience of lobbying- here we considered 

resolutions which attempted to solve global issues, and signed the motions 

we believed to be most appropriate. 

On Saturday we debated the chosen resolutions and amended them, in 

order to create a more focused solution to the issues raised. The topics we 

debated varied from Nuclear Disarmament to Current Threats in the Security 

Council. We were able to express the views of our countries where, in some 

circumstances, the results were somewhat amusing and controversial. For 

instance a resolution was passed by The Health Committee stating that 

environmentalists were annoying and therefore should be eradicated; whilst 

the Political Committee decided that the USA ought to have its states split 

equally between the undersigned countries. After many a humorous debate 

the USA was eventually abolished - perhaps a little extreme! 

Sunday consisted of debates on emergency scenarios and once resolutions 

were reached we attended the general assembly to convey the views of our 

country for the final time before leaving the conference for our journey 

home. As a final note we would like to thank Ms Davids and Tristan, for 

making the experience so worthwhile and enjoyable. 

Maths Team in the Netherlands 

For Justin, Tom, Matt and Laura in year 13 plus Miss Scott and 

myself, the February half term break culminated in an exciting 

3 day International Maths competition at the International 

School of Amsterdam. There were 185 students from 33 

schools. They filled a huge gym for the main events and the 

atmosphere was both tense and electric. Some of the world's 

best young mathematicians used all their skills to solve really 

hard problems in a very short time without calculators. We 

didn't win, but Hockerill achieved a respectable 35th out of 

63 teams. 

I asked our team to describe some of their best moments: 

Justin said the level of maths was eye-opening and he was 

happy when he realised in the breaks between the rounds 

that he had got some answers right. Matt and Laura 

particularly enjoyed the team rounds where the students work 

in a group, discussing the problems. The disco and bowling 

social event in the evening was also a highlight. Laura found 

the general international atmosphere at the school and the 

host family very interesting.

Adult Language Classes 

at Hockerill 

The Adult classes that we are now offering at 

Hockerill are proving a great success. People are 

busy learning French, Spanish, Italian and English 

as a Foreign Language in our familiar but unique 

Hockerill way and are making great progress. We 

plan to offer the classes again from September 

and would like to add Mandarin and Japanese to 

the list. 

If you are interested in joining the classes or for 

more information call me on 01279 713946 

or email me on smithc@hockerill.herts.sch.uk 

for more information. 

If you would like to become a tutor for one of 

the classes get in touch too, we would be very 

interested to hear from you. 

The final words should go to Justin, who is a veteran of 4 

competitions: 

C Smith 

"This was my last competition and I really enjoyed all of them. 

I want to encourage people to keep going on them and 

Hockerill to keep running them, as it fits with the international 

ethos and provides a unique opportunity for those who don't 

excel at languages or music." 

A Goldsmith

This has been a typically busy half-term culminating in 4 different 

trips involving 100 students. 

There are 6 after-school primary classes - 2 in French, 2 in 

Spanish, 1 German, 1 Japanese and 1 Italian class. We shall be 

offering French primary lessons for new schools for September 

and have provided an intensive training session for our primary 

staff in techniques and strategies with input from four members 

of staff. 

Our three master classes continue to be very well-attended. The 

members of our two secondary classes will be going on a 4-day 

study visit to La Coûme (French class) and Freiburg (German 

class) over the May Day period. We hope to start a Spanish 

Master Class next September. 

Since the last report there have been a number of highly 

successful trips and exchanges, including Berlin which was 

enjoyable and successful as always. 

This term we have already had two very worthwhile visits - 50 

went to Liège (our largest number for an exchange) including 28 

Year 10s on Work Experience and 14 did Work Experience in 

Münster (three of whom are pictured). 

We continue to benefit enormously from our base in the French 

Pyrenees at La Coûme. Year 7, 8 and 9 students, engaged in 

the MYP programme, have had several sessions over the videoconferencing 

link with Olivier and Marta and will be interacting 

with them and French school children on many future occasions 

this academic year. 

The Global Curriculum is being enhanced through the 

continuation of our collaborative project with our partner school 

in Gisenyi, Rwanda and the growing number of students being 

Language College 

sponsored from the Hockerill Community. Money raised from 

Mr Gdula's and Mr James' bike marathon last summer and from 

a myriad of other events have enabled us to finance the 

refurbishment of the refectory in our partner school as well as 

major developments of their sports facilities. I visited Rwanda 

briefly in February with Do Coyle and Rolf Wiesemes from 

Nottingham. We visited Gisenyi and were very impressed at the 

work being carried out in the sports area. 

We also spent time at the Kigali Institute of Education furthering 

our training links between the Institute, Nottingham and 

Hockerill. Finally we visited Greenhills Academy in Kigali, an IB 

and MYP school with bilingual sections with which we are also 

forging tentative links. We were honoured to meet the First Lady 

of Rwanda, Mrs Kagame, during this visit as she is the founder 

of Greenhills. 

As I write 19 students are just leaving for Aix en Provence and all 

will do a week’s Work Experience while another group from Year 

12 will do their Work Experience in La Coûme. In late March 

students from Japan and Liège pay return visits to Hockerill. 28 

of the Liège students will be doing Work Experience in the 

Bishop's Stortford area. The Spanish Exchange takes off in the 

Easter holidays and the group from Valladolid comes back to 

Hockerill at the start of the summer term. 

Things continue to move forward at an electrifying pace in the 

Language College.

SCUBA in the Red Sea 

During the February half 

term break 14 students 

and three members of staff 

and a diving instructor 

explored the diving resort 

of Sharm El Sheik . 

Following on from their 

confined training, 6 

students and Mr Dinwiddy 

completed their PADI Open Water qualification. Later in the week 6 already 

experienced divers achieved their PADI Advanced Qualification. In between, 

everyone experienced some fantastic diving including Yolanda Reef in Ras 

Mohammed National Park, considered one of the top 10 dive sites in the 

world, plus a superb night dive into a very different world of marching 

urchins, feeding lion fish, pulsating coral and sleeping parrot fish, until, that 

is, inquisitive Hockerill divers turned up with torches! 

Although we didn't see any sharks (a pity) we did see young divers 

developing in confidence. We thank Emperor divers and the crew for 

looking after us so well. We also thank Steve Manton from Planet Scuba 

who has worked tirelessly with our divers. 

This will be the last 'Sinclair' organised Diving Trip although we hope that 

someone will take this on for next year. We thank all the young divers who 

have shared our underwater world. You have made us laugh and at times 

cry, you have impressed us with your enthusiasm and humour, you have 

been a pleasure to dive with. To all our young diving 'buddies' thank you. 

There's a great underwater world out there, so keep diving, keep exploring 

and keep making bubbles. 

MYP News 

This has been yet another action packed term for the IB Middle 

Years Programme. While the teachers plan for the forthcoming 

IB pre-authorisation visit, the students have been exploring 

London, building structures and considering the importance of 

human rights as well as celebrating the 1920s and 1930s 

through music, art and drama. 

Conor Rohan, Year 9, spoke at the staff training day at the start 

of term. Invited to share his recent MYP experience on 

'Communication' Conor confidently demonstrated the skills he 

had learnt the previous term during a combined project with BT. 

The cross curricular days have continued to question and inspire 

many of our students. Recently, Year 7 spent two very 

informative days in London exploring Tudor London. 

At the beginning of term, Year 7 students explored the concept 

of non-gravitational structures, linking together their work in 

Mathematics, Science and Design Technology. The results were 

extremely creative and very much 'outside of the box'. Year 9 

students also had the opportunity to shine, later in the term 

when they came together to celebrate the 20's and 30's. Using 

drama, music and art they explored the issue of economic 

D & S Sinclair 

Hockerill in Berlin 

The annual winter trip to Berlin has become an 

established and extremely popular tradition - for 

many it is the initiation into Hockerill's extensive 

trips and exchanges programme. 45 somewhat 

nervous but equally excited Year 7 and 8 students, 

together with six staff, made the trip to Berlin. 

The programme was exciting, varied, jam-packed 

and a lot of fun. It included a sight-seeing tour by 

coach, which enabled us to get to know the centre 

of Berlin and its major attractions such as the 

Brandenburger Tor, the Deutsche Reichstag, 

Berlin's main shopping street Kurfürsten Damm, 

the Olympia Stadion and innumerable Christmas 

markets. On foot we went to see the Museum at 

Check Point Charlie near the infamous border 

crossing between East and West Germany 

exhibiting remnants of the Berlin Wall. We also 

returned to the Deutsche Reichstag and went up 

into the magnificent glass Kuppel, designed by Sir 

Norman Foster, which gives a fantastic view of 

Berlin. The sky-high radio tower Alex and the 

impressive Holocaust Memorial were two more 

highlights. 

By Saturday night everybody was tired and ready 

to come home having mastered their first school 

trip successfully. The students were a credit to 

themselves and the College and I am sure that 

each and every one of them will have come away 

with several good memories. So all there is to say 

is: Vielen Dank, bis bald, auf Wiedersehen! 

A Geissler 

depression and the subsequent demonstration of relief and 

excitement through the music of jazz and the Charleston. 

Ending yet another action packed term the Year 8 students 

explored the concept of 'Human Rights' and in particular 

children's rights through workshops, presentations and dance. 

I thank all my colleagues for their commitment to the MYP. Next 

term we will welcome Andrew Mitchell from Helsinki, who will 

be spending the first three days of the summer term with us, 

training staff and assessing whether we are ready to move 

forward with the MYP towards full authorisation with the IBO. I 

have every confidence that the outcome will be a positive one.

Refectory Lounge Project 

The observant among you may have noticed our deliberately vague posters, 

dotted around the College campus. As members of the year 12 Design 

Technology class, we have been liaising closely with the Sorrell Foundation, 

working on a project which we hope will greatly improve and invigorate our 

school environment. 

The Sorrell Foundation itself was set up primarily to work with client teams 

of students, and in 2004, Hockerill was selected to work with the company. 

The previous client team, our predecessors, decided that the Refectory was 

the area of the school most in need of a re-vamp. Since it has been handed 

over to us, the needs of the school have changed and new classrooms are 

becoming a necessity. 

We plan to construct a two-floor building which 

will contain two new versatile classrooms and a 

'refectory lounge'. The lower classroom will be 

adaptable enough to be used for any number of 

events, classes or clubs. The 'refectory lounge' will 

be a new area to accommodate lunch queues 

and will also provide a space for quiet studying 

and relaxing. This structure will be erected 

between the current Refectory and the boiler 

room (pictured). We plan to continue with the 

idea to refurbish the Refectory. 

The process is now in full-swing and we have attended several meetings 

with the designer and architect (Jose De Matos and Mike Gibson) to discuss 

and finalise our plans and ideas. As students, we feel that our participation 

in these meetings represents the best interests of the student body. 

Hopefully construction will begin during the summer holidays. We hope you 

are as excited as we are to see the results. 

Prague 

Emily Frost & Emily Austin 

During the Lent half term, the Music Department and 41 

students embarked on their second annual Music Tour to 

Prague, one of the most famous cultural cities in Europe. The 

excitement and restlessness could not be contained as the 

group sang and slept through the twenty-two hour coach 

journey. The group, singers and instrumentalists alike, had 

been put through a gruelling rehearsal schedule ahead of the 

highly anticipated tour in order that they performed to their 

potential. The tour was a chance for Hockerill's best musicians 

to show off their talents and cap off the hard work they had 

put into it. The three appointed venues for the performances 

were distinctly different in stature; a historic church Hall, a 

cultural centre and a modern concert hall. The students played 

exceptionally at all three venues and even had the opportunity 

to play alongside the Prague Big Band. It has to be said that 

the students by all means held their own, with an undeniable 

professionalism evident. The city of Prague itself is a spectacle 

to behold. The breathtaking sights and its rich and romantic 

history made the tour an incredible experience. Furthermore, 

the chance to soak in the various sightseeing activities 

provided a pleasant contrast to the concerts, providing the 

The Role of the School Sport 

Co-ordinator (SSCo) 

With provision of school sport and the increasing 

incidence of childhood obesity much in the news 

recently the Government decided to act to try and 

reverse the trend. They tasked every school in 

England to strive to include at least 2 hours of 

curriculum PE and a further easy access to 3 hours 

of Out of School Hours Learning (OSHL) (i.e excurricular) 

per week. To enable schools to achieve 

this every secondary school has appointed a School 

Sport Co-ordinator (SSCo) whose role is to increase 

participation in sport and healthy activities, bring 

into their school alternative activities to appeal to a 

wider range of students and ensure links between 

the school and local sports clubs are established. 

The SSCo's secondary role is to support the local 

primary schools' PE subject leaders in the delivery 

of various PE initiatives to increase participation in 

sport, leading to long term healthy lifestyles. 

I spend 2 days a week in the role. During the last 

year I have introduced a Year 7s lunchtime 

activities club, a Year 9 fitness club, various student 

led break time tournaments as well as organising a 

primary school mini-hockey festival and a speed 

stacking festival. If students wish to know how to 

access external sports clubs or have a particular 

interest in a sport not currently offered at the 

College please speak to me and I will assist in 

finding the relevant information.

students with a well deserved and relaxing outlet. There is no 

doubt that everyone who took part on the tour will hold great 

memories of the city as well as the performances. There were 

inspirational visits to the famous Mozart museum, the Palace 

and Charles Bridge, fantastic views from the TV tower and a 

light and tranquil dinner cruise on our last evening. 

All in all, the tour was a huge success and thoroughly 

enjoyable combining an incredible high standard of music 

making with the outstanding behaviour and spirit of the 

students. We eagerly await the next Music Tour with high 

anticipation!

Sports Dinner & New 

Sporting Colours 

With the Sports Dinner fast approaching 

(Saturday 26th April), when traditionally 

sports colours are awarded to various 

individuals, the PE department have 

decided to introduce a new 'exceptional 

performer' colour that will only be 

awarded to a few students who, in the 

opinion of their coaches and the PE staff, 

have performed consistently at a high 

level during matches and showed above 

average commitment to training. These 

will be larger and black with gold text. 

The other usual 'half' colours will continue 

to be awarded to those students who 

have been consistently picked to play for 

College teams and regularly attended 

training sessions. 

This years' Sports Dinner is a celebration 

of the sporting success and achievements 

of all those who have represented the 

College in Rugby, Football, Basketball, 

Hockey, Netball, Rounders and Athletics in 

the last twelve months. We are fortunate 

to have, as our guest speaker, Mr Daniel 

Topolski, a renowned Great Britain 

Olympic rower, an Oxford Boat Race crew 

member and coach for many years and 

more recently a BBC sports commentator. 

An exciting evening of sporting reflection 

and recognition is anticipated and will 

round off with a year 11 dance 

spectacular and disco.

District 

Championships 

Round-Up 

Since September HAEC College Sports 

teams have entered 26 district 

tournaments in all age groups 

representing Rugby, Football, Basketball, 

Netball & Hockey. In 10 of the 

competitions we got through to the 

semi-finals but unfortunately did not 

progress further. However in 12 

competitions we progressed to the finals 

and ended up with 6 of our teams being 

crowned district champions, with each 

sport having at least one age group 

being overall winners.

Grand Slam for Under 

16 Boys' Basketball; 

Football teams enjoy 

mixed fortunes 

The boys' basketball teams achieved 

notable successes in their annual district 

tournaments, winning two of the five 

titles and twice finishing runners up. All 

four finals were played against Bishop's 

Stortford High School, the Under 16 team 

retaining their title in a closely fought 

battle. Their success means that the boys 

have achieved a grand slam of four wins 

out of four since their first district 

tournament in year 8. The Under 13 team 

maintained an unbeaten record and now 

look forward to competing in the regional 

competition next year. The Under 14 and 

Under 15 teams both performed well to 

reach their respective finals, losing out to 

the host school. 

The Under 14 and Under 16 teams 

reached the last sixteen of the East of 

England competition. The area comprises 

teams as far afield as Norwich, Ipswich, 

Luton and Bedford. It is a tribute to our 

small community that we provide stiff 

opposition to schools with over a 

thousand boys on their roll. 

In football, the Under 14 boys reached the 

final of the districts football tournament 

for the third year in a row. Will Ekong led 

his team to victory via a penalty shoot out 

against Saffron Walden. This group of boys 

have won the district title in year 7 and 

year 9 while losing on penalties in the final 

of year 8. Superb result. This team also 

reached the last 16 of the County Cup.

Year 8 Rugby - 

Emerging schools 

The current Year 8 rugby team remains 

unbeaten throughout this season and is 

two stages away from the Emerging 

Schools Rugby final at Twickenham. They 

are at present through to the Southern 

Regional finals and will be representing 

Hertfordshire in this next round. Having 

been unbeaten throughout their rugby 

term they represented the East Herts 

district and defeated Sandringham, 

Sheredes and Leventhorpe without 

conceding a point. The next stage saw 

them come up against stronger 

opposition and a win and two draws 

against Knights Templar Sports College, 

Mount Grace and Nicholas Breakspear 

saw them through to the next stage. This 

was an excellent achievement as they 

were without their inspirational Captain 

Joe Humphries who was unable to play
