Jerusalem
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England’s mountains green?
And was the Holy Lamb of God
On England’s pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark satanic mills?
Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!
I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England’s green and pleasant land.
Enter with us, O God our Saviour
Upon the life of this day
be thou our companion in all that we have to do
in our difficulties grant us guidance
in our weakness send us strength
help us to do our duties earnestly
to bear our troubles bravely
to serve thee and our fellows with wisdom and cheerfulness
through Jesus Christ our Lord
Amen

STEM Club
What is STEM?
STEM is an acronym for Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics.
Audenshaw STEM Club has done it all! From building rockets, to decorating your Christmas tree with chemistry!
We like to explore how STEM can change the world around us and look for solutions to the problems of generations to come!
This year, we will be taking inspiration from other young people who are working to change the world.
This year, we will be exploring and making everything that goes into having a waste-free lunch!
Think about how you could help everyone save the Earth and join in!
STEM club will run every Monday from 2.45pm till 3.45pm starting in SC07, for Year 7 and year 8. Students are encouraged to see Mr Mawby for further details.

School Council
With two representatives from every form, Audenshaw School has a thriving and enthusiastic student council which meets every term throughout the academic year.
Representatives convene in two separate groups, KS3 and KS4, to discuss their ideas and prioritise the issues they want to raise for further discussion. The whole School Council then meets in order to bring together the ideas of both KS3 and KS4. Allowing this two way dialogue between students and staff, the School Council enables students to participate fully in school life and have an influence in their school environment. Being a School Council representative for your form offers you a range of opportunities; you are responsible for representing your form and ensuring that all ideas are relayed to the School Council, you can learn new skills – such as negotiating and speaking with confidence, patience and respect for other people views and ideas, and in addition you demonstrate tolerance.
Issues that the School Council has raised or been consulted on this year include:
- Getting more students involved in more independent initiatives throughout the school.
- Addressing strengths of the school and attempting to create a positive environment for all.
- Picking a new school charity to raise money for such as Sam's Gift, Magical Moments and Save the Children.
- Planning and preparing charity initiatives such as Active Audenshaw, Christmas Jumper Day and the Macmillan Coffee Morning.
Issues that the School Council has successfully implemented:
-The design and creation of the new toilets in the main school.
-Awareness for the Manchester Bombing victims including designing a themed menu and decorating the school hall.
-Running recycling campaigns including litter picking and waste collection.
-Creating more activities to do at lunchtime such as basket ball hoops and table tennis tables.
