Dear Parents, Carers

Dear parents and carers we are finally at the end of what has been a very successful year. We have been really

pleased with the continued progress all the students have made and in some cases this progress has been really

impressive.

Our Year 11 students successfully completed their end of Year examinations and we are looking forward to the

students receiving their exam results in the Summer.

This year has been particularly successful for students returning to school with three students fully transition-

ing back to school across the year. We have an additional 6 year 9 students who have an allocated place at main-

stream school and will start their re-integration programmes in September.

Students have been involved in a number of amazing and creative projects during the last term , read on to hear

more about these.

Finally I would like to thank you, our parents and carers, for your continued support in ensuring that our stu-

dents attend well and achieve to the highest levels possible. Have a fantastic Summer and I look forward to

working with you again next year.

Best wishes

The Educate and Celebrate Award Ceremony .

Earlier this month CCfL were awarded the Silver Standard Best Practice

Status. Congratulations to all the staff involved and especially Leroy for leading

the initiative.

KS4 LGBT week

Jude, Tilly and Dylan created a collaborative rainbow cake as part of the

KS4 LGBT week. This fantastic cake really demonstrated how well our stu-

dents work together and how far they have come along as professional

cooks. Excellent work and mighty tasty too.

Dallaglio Foundation RugbyWorks, aims to leave young people more em-

ployable, socially responsible and making positive decisions to make the

most of their lives.

They have worked with us throughout the last year initially at our KS4

school and then at KS3 in the Summer term.

One of our year 11 students Chloe was nominated and won the

most improved student from the Dallaglio Foundation at an award

ceremony in London last week.

Chloe did amazingly well as she was up against students from 33

Pupil Referral Units in London, Newcastle, Bristol and South

Wales.

Brook Advisory Service

Brook have worked with students across both schools and gave us a great opportunity to learn about sexual

health matters and relationship issues. Terry and Gareth, from Brook, delivered the lessons in a fun and en-

gaging way and we hope that they can continue to support us in our teaching and learning next year.

Growing Against Violence

This is the first time GAV have been at KS3 and they gave the students a rich and engaging set of lessons on

the Joint Enterprise law and how it can affect the lives of young people in our communities. I’m hoping that

they will return again at some point next year so that they can help our students to understand that they

have choices in their lives and where they can get help if they ever need advice about the law.

Early this year our year 10 students worked with” Tender” on healthy/unhealthy relationships. GAV then ran

an interesting and informative workshop on sexual exploitation which was delivered successfully to both year

10 and year 11 students. This was followed up by year 10 working on “Teen Boundaries” and examining issues

This term Taurus and Libra at

KS3 were lucky enough to be

part of a special collaborative

art project between CCfL, CO-

RAM and The Cartoon Museum.

The students enjoyed this fan-

tastic opportunity to learn

about comic art from Steve

Marchant, a professional artist

and it was wonderful to see all

the students have a go at de-

veloping their skills with creat-

ing story lines, inventing comic

characters and drawing in a

All the year 10 students had the opportunity to take part in a PAN Arts Drama Residency at KS4 this year.

The students engaged with 10 weeks of focused drama work resulting in a wonderful performance to the

whole school. Thanks to Leo for the fantastic marketing including photography and flyer printing and Kade

for producing a brilliant piece of music for the final performance. This was a great all round effort. Our

wonderful performers were Albi, Steven, Dylan, Tilly and Conor. All the students who engaged with the pro-

ject will also receive one of 2 Unit Awards.

We sadly say goodbye to a number of colleagues who are moving on to pastures new. I know they will be

greatly missed and are leaving our very very best wishes.
