Head Start for D of E Group
Mr Emment, Guidance Manager
Twenty-four Year 11 Students from Heritage High School have started working towards their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh
Award. During this school year they will give plenty back to the community by using some of their spare time working as
volunteers in a number of organisations. All students will undertake a physical activity as well as develop practical and
social skills with a personal interest.
Another area often new to students is the planning and preparing for a 2 day expedition. This year students were
welcomed by staff at Pleasley Vale Activity Centre who gave them an insight into both map and compass work as well
as passing on useful tips for reading an Ordnance Survey map. All students now know just how many paces they have
to take to walk 100 metres; this will be invaluable when the weather closes in during the practice and actual expeditions
later in the year.

Children In Need 2013
Mr Emment, Guidance Manager
Students at Heritage High School once again pulled out all the stops for Children in Need 2013. The nonuniform day saw a variety of activities take
place.
Topping the list this year was a cake stall set
up by 3 hard working Year 8 students.
Olivia Palmer, Dellan Oke and Charlie
Massey spent hours making a variety of
cakes and fancies and raised an amazing
£250 in the process - brilliant, girls - well done.
On Sunday students from Heritage rode their horses
through the streets of Clowne and collected
over £100 in buckets.
Pudsey goodies, keyrings and wristbands
were sold for 2 weeks before the big
event and these raised a further £230.
Well done to Year 9 student Patryk Soltys
for selling them at brunch and lunch.
In total the school raised £1,116 - WOW!
Thank you all - better start saving now for Sport Relief on 21st March 2014!

Heritage Remembered
Mrs Dench, Deputy Headteacher
Students Laura Jacques, Charlie Massey, Steven Fessey, Dellan
Oke and Luke Blair, attended the Remembrance Day service in
Clowne on Sunday 10th November. They were joined by children
from Clowne Infant and Clowne Junior schools, as well as many
local clubs, societies and groups. The service, at the Methodist
Chapel, North Road, paid tribute to the men and women of Clowne,
who gave their lives during the First and Second World
Wars. During the service, the names of those who had died were
read out, and it was moving to hear so many local family names
with whom the school has very strong links. Past-student, Hayden
Bennett and present student, Matthew Hale of Clowne Army
Cadets, also took part in the parade and laid a wreath.
The sense of community was palpable during the parade, as so
many people in Clowne turned out to remember and pay their
respects.
This community must have been deeply affected during wartime,
and yet the strength that was demonstrated on Remembrance
Sunday showed
a community
that has grown
together, united
in the act of r emembrance. ‘We will remember them’
The whole school paid tribute to those fallen on Monday, 11th
November when we held our annual Community Remembrance
Service in school.
Members of the local community and churches joined us in a very
moving service led by Mr Spencer and Reverend Steven Short with
readings from our Head Boy and Head Girl. A representative from the
Salvation Army played the Last Post and Reveille and, although the
service had to be held indoors due to the inclement weather, our Head
Boy, Head Girl and their deputies laid wreathes at the sundial outside.
Refreshments were served in the Hive after the service.
