YEAR 7 PARENTS AND CARERS - please note the remote Information Evening details and links

 

Dear Parents and Carers

This has been another positive week at school and some departments are now able to plan a limited range of extra-curricular activities for the pupils to access at the end of the school day. Details will follow. 

Staggered start and finish times are proving helpful in maintaining some separation of year groups at the start and end of school;  we will continue with this for the time being.

Coronavirus Awareness:  There have been cases of coronavirus identified in the local community and we are in daily contact with the Local Authority regarding any measures that might need to be taken in school.  Please be assured that the school is fully Covid-Compliant.  We ask that pupils have a mask and hand sanitiser with them at all times;  masks are needed for everyone when browsing books in the library, and for some practical work in years 10 and 11.  Please do not hesitate to contact your child’s year team if you need support in providing these items.

Lift Sharing:  Please avoid giving lifts to children not your own if you live in Cambourne.  Where car sharing is essential, and you are giving a lift to a child in a different year group from your own child, please ensure that all passengers are wearing a mask and keep the car well ventilated.

Cold Weather:  As it gets cooler, and with pupils spending more time outside than in previous years, please ensure that your children wear warm coats to school. Classrooms are also cooler and we recommend that pupils wear an extra layer under their school polo shirts in the first instance. 

Bicycle Theft:  I have reminded parents that our cycle sheds are not as secure as they used to be due to the staggered start and finish times, and this week, unfortunately, a new bike has been stolen.  Please provide your children with locks if they leave their cycles or scooters in the bike sheds and insist that they actually use them; the school cannot be held responsible for any losses. 

With kind regards

Claire Coates

Principal
