Dear Parent/Carer

 

Firstly, my sincere thanks to so many of you who have volunteered to help us as examination invigilators next term. This is to be our trial period in readiness for the essential change in the summer of 2005.� On the theme of examinations, I�m sure that Year 11 and Year 13 students do not need reminding that they now have only one more half-term of schooling before their final papers, and their vigilance and effort over the coming weeks are essential.� You can continue to play an important part in the process by providing as much support as possible (whether in teaching terms or just cups of tea!)� during this demanding time.

 

In this newsletter I would ask you to note in particular the statement��� covering the Data Protection Act and the Freedom of Information Act.� If you have any questions, please let us know.�

 

This term sees the departure of Tony Collins, an assistant headteacher and a member of the English department.� Mr Collins is taking up a new post in the planning department at Cambridge, and we wish him well for the future.

 

This term saw us gain recognition as an ICT centre of high quality, when we were given the NAACE mark (National Association of Advisers for Computing in Education) for schools award, with many thanks in particular to Alan Davies and Maggie Ashcroft for their efforts in securing this for St Ivo.

 

Next term opens to pupils and students on Tuesday, 20 April 2004.� I hope you have a very productive and relaxing holiday, and I thank you for your continued support throughout this term.

 

Yours sincerely

 

 

 

 

 

Michael Mahoney

Headteacher
