Dear parents and carers, With only 5 weeks to go until the Christmas break, there is a lot to take note of at CEC. Please be sure to read the ‘Upcoming Academy Dates’ section of the newsletter and to commit events to your diary! Year 11and 13 have their mocks fast approaching, starting on Monday 10th December, with a small number of exams beginning earlier, and finish on Thursday 20th December. Year 11 students have received revision timetables and exam dates this week and we wish them well with this very busy period of revision. Our annual school play this year is Arabian Nights and our performances take place from the 18th – 20th December. Our students have been rehearsing with great enthusiasm and it is set to be a terrific run of evenings. We would also love to share our carol service with you; this takes place at St Mary’s Church, Northwood at 6.30pm on Monday 17th December. Over the next few weeks we also have Oxbridge mock interviews, Year 10 parents’ evening, our Christmas Fayre and the whole of Year 7 watching a pantomime in Year 7. Term ends on Friday 21 st December at 12.10pm. Thank you to all parents who attended Year 9 parents’ evening, which was very successful. I was attending the Ormiston Academies Trust annual conference this week and so wasn’t able to attend this parents’ evening as I usually do. I am delighted to share that Cowes Enterprise College received a coveted award for having the highest GCSE exam results in the whole trust for Grade 4-9 passes in English and Maths. I continue to offer parent surgery time over the next half term and really enjoy meeting parents in these sessions. A reminder that I hold them twice weekly on a Tuesday afternoon from 1pm – 2.30pm and from 3.30pm – 5.30pm to enable parents to get to know me and discuss the work of the school with me directly. Attendance is by pre-booked appointments only. Please either email dharrison@cowesec.org or phone the school on 01983 203103 asking for Donna Harrison to book in a slot in advance of each Tuesday. With best wishes, Rachel Kitley
