Firstly, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a very happy New Year. I hope that you have had a good Christmas break.
It is a great pleasure and privilege to finally be in post. As I was appointed in early September, it seems to have been a long time from being offered the job to actually starting it!
There are some forthcoming dates this half term which are important for many parents/ carers.
Year 8 parents’ evenings take place on Thursday 19th January (8K, L, M and N) and Thursday 26th January (8R, S and T).
Year 11 reports will go home on Friday 27th January. This is followed by the information evening for Year 11 parents and carers at 6pm on Tuesday 7th February.
I look forward to meeting many of you at these events or, if you are able to attend, at the “Meet the New Head” event at 7pm on Tuesday 10th January. Thank you to those of you who have booked a place. If you have not done so but would like to attend, please contact Sue Ayling by returning the form sent to you last term, by e-mailing her (sayling@cvcweb.net) or ‘phone (01954 288752).
Finally, as you will be aware, the Village College students return on Wednesday 4th January. Students from the Centre School return on Thursday 5th.
Best wishes
Steve Ellison
Headteacher
