Sir Steve drops by to see schools new equipment
QUEENS Park High School has just completed two major sports facility refurbishments aided by
funding from Sport England and Awards for All.
Sport England has provided a 25,000 grant to put towards the provision of a new high
specication Sports Hall oor. The top quality linolastic oor which was completed in time for the
new Summer Term has put the bounce back into sporting activities and
made a real difference to pupils, staff and community users.
Head of the PE department Charlie Clubb said: The generous funding
from Sport England has provided us with an incredible improved facility
which has had a signicant impact on the school and the local community
and will ultimately encourage a healthier lifestyle for everyone.
Awards for All have provided a 10,000 grant towards the refurbishment
of our school Fitness Suite. Not only are the new facilities fantastic for
Queens Park students the grant will enable us to carry out a community
tness improvement programme with our partner schools and other local
groups which will start in the summer term.
The Redgrave Institute supported the PE department in the design of the
room and also provided additional equipment to help improve the space.
Students and staff were delighted by a surprise visit from Sir Steve Redgrave in March. He called
by school to see how the outcome of the refurbishment and offer his support to KS3 students who
were taking part in an after-school indoor rowing club run by our British Rowing Coach, Annie
Barsoum, along with our student Sport Leaders.

QUEENS PARK HIGH SCHOOL
Overleigh Roundabout April 2013 15
QUEENS PARK HIGH SCHOOL
Academy status moves a step closer
THE governing body met on 26th March and resolved to apply for academy status at Queens
Park High School.
This decision was reached after a full review of all the information, questions and comments
submitted by all our
stakeholders during the six
week consultation process.
A spokeswoman for the
school said: We would
like to thank those of you
who submitted comments.
Your contribution was very
important to us throughout
this process and the many
positive comments we
received have conrmed
that this is the right decision for our school.
Please continue to follow the progress throughout the summer term, via the school website.
The academy consultation email address will remain open, if you would like to contact the
governors regarding any aspect of the conversion. You can do this via the link on the website
or directly to academyconsultation@qphs.cheshire.sch.uk.
Rowers at the
head of the race
The North of England Head, held in
March, was extremely well attended and
thankfully in sunshine for most of the day.
Rowers from Runcorn Rowing Club, Sam
Pettinger-Hart and Matt Kilborn, combined
with rowers from Queens Park High
School, Chris McCartney and another
student, came rst in the J16 coxless
quads beating their opposition by seven
seconds and coming 5th overall in Division
one.
In the second Division WJ13 girls
(pictured) Sam McIlwaine, Rona Fishburn,
Felicity Weir, Eve Finlay and cox Lucy
Clegg rowing up as WJ14s came second
in the WJ14 group beating a number of
more senior crews in the race.

There is still a spate of thefts going on around Handbridge. Mainly bicycles are
being stolen from the schools and college and from garages.
z I have been working in partnership with CWaC Community Warden Neil
Denby marking residents bicycles. We have attended the residents homes and
supplied them with a bike passport and offered crime prevention advice. If you
would like your bicycle marked please email me on Jenna.Smith@cheshire.pnn.
police.uk.
z I have also been deploying the Speed Indicator Device on Eaton Road, this has
been a joint approach with Cheshire West and Chester Community Warden Neil
Denby. We are looking to deploy it to Overleigh Road in the next few weeks.
z We have had a vagrant staying in the Overleigh Cemetery recently. I have
attended with CWaC Community Warden Sharon Marshall to speak to the male
and he has now been removed and given a place to stay out of the area.
z I have had reports of drug use down at the river with drug paraphernalia
littered around, I am currently working with the council on this matter and work
to clear this up is in the process.
