London,

Welcome to Prendergast School. It is an honour and a privilege to be Prendergast School’s eleventh Headteacher and to work with staff, students and families. Staff here are passionate about ensuring the very best opportunities and education for all students. Our motto and ethos is ‘Truth, Honour, Freedom and Courtesy.’ We are all on the same side, working to support all students to excel. We take pride in building strong relationships with students and their families. We have a long history of providing exceptional education to young people. We were founded in 1880 as Prendergast Grammar School for Girls on a site in Catford provided by the Leathersellers’ Company, which then funded the school’s move to its current site in 1995. We are now part of the Leathersellers’ Federation of schools, a group of three secondary and two primary schools as well as Prendergast 6th Form. We are very fortunate to be part of the Federation and receive a lot of support from the Leathersellers’ Company, that helps our students succeed. We are very proud of our last Ofsted judgement of Outstanding in all areas, our third Outstanding judgement in a row. We are described in the most recent report as ‘exceptional’ and having ‘exemplary attitudes to learning’ across the school. We do achieve great academic results at Prendergast School (more information is on the website). However, as a parent or carer you also want to know that your child is happy and safe. This is very important to us and we pride ourselves that students feel confident in school and thrive under our care. It is important that when students leave after their time with us that they do so as well-rounded individuals who have had many different experiences, able to overcome challenges and most importantly to learn from their mistakes. It is important that students get involved in school life as much as possible. We have a wide range of extra-curricular activities and we do encourage all students to get involved. We expect all students to attend school journeys. Communication is very important to us. We always like to know what we do well and what we can improve on further. We ask students and families to get in contact with us if there is something that they would like to ask or raise with us.

Lightwave Jewellery

“I commissioned a very personal silver bracelet with copper inlay from Natalia. I work in extreme environments, so the design had to be tough. All I had was lots of ideas. Natalia was able to translate these into a solid design, which I loved. The finished piece just blew me away. The detail is incredible. It stood up to a lot of punishment from the elements and still looks amazing. About 6 months after I got my bracelet, I decided to add yet another element to it, but did not know if it would be possible. Natalia made it happen. The bracelet is just perfect. I cannot recommend her highly enough.” — JAMES, DORSET (OCTOBER 2018) “Whenever I need a bespoke piece made, I’ll always go to Natalia of Lightwave Jewellery as she really captures the idea beyond my expectations.” — GIA, HAMPSHIRE (FEBRUARY 2019) “Natalia has created two beautiful pieces for me. I wear a lot of jewellery and I wanted something that can both be worn alongside other jewellery or stand alone. I wanted both pieces to be personal but subtle and Natalia did this perfectly. She listened to everything I said and helped me to settle on a design that I wanted. I now have a stunning silver bangle that is engraved with a Sanskrit chant that I use during my yoga teaching and a set of earrings that perfectly match a tattoo that I have. The earrings are a set of four to show the different phases of the moon and I love that I can wear all four together or just a pair. Natalia perfectly matched the dotwork of my tattoo onto the earrings and used a technique to add shading to them, a complete contrast to what she achieved with my bangle. Natalia gave me a fast and professional service and I would definitely use her services again.” — HANNAH, HAMPSHIRE (JANUARY 2019) “The dark wings earrings from Lightwave Jewellery were a Christmas present and I simply love the creative and detailed design. I love that they go with any outfit...casual with a leather jacket or even for a black-tie do!” — SOPHIA, LONDON (DECEMBER 2018) “I am in love with my silver Scottie dog and wear it every single day. It is too wonderful for words: it has movement and its proportions are exactly rights. I know this because I am a long term Scottie owner. I am constantly being stopped and told how wonderful it is both in this country and abroad. I feel very special because of it and more than highly recommend a silver piece made by Natalia.” — ELAINE, HAMPSHIRE (NOVEMBER 2018)

As a community, we strive to ensure that Blenheim students are afforded every opportunity to reach their potential both inside and outside the classroom. Inside the classroom, rigorous monitoring of the consistency and quality of teaching, quality of assessments and the impact of feedback have ensured that students flourish. Outside of the classroom, sporting, musical, artistic, dramatic, STEM and other extra curricular activities including an extended day, ensure that students continue to benefit from a rich co-curricular experience that develops them as students and as people. Blenheim sets high standards in terms of uniform with ten ‘non-negotiables’ and there are strict expectations regarding behaviour and conduct. Ofsted described Blenheim as ‘calm, orderly and purposeful’ and our students as ‘respectful, kind and courteous’, which is what we expect and see every day. As we prepare our students to take up their place in society we actively encourage them to take personal responsibility and to become independent learners. Part of this process involves the integration of iPads across the curriculum. Over 99% of Blenheim students own their iPad as part of our iPad for Learning Scheme. Technological evolution is insatiable and we believe this approach is key to ensuring that Blenheim students develop attributes that will allow them to adapt in a rapidly changing world. The iPad complements daily teaching and allows students to easily access a multitude of interactive and innovative resources both in and away from school. Parents/Carers enjoy the safety that the iPad brings due to it being firewalled by Blenheim software.
