NEWSLETTER Friday 31st January Dear Parents and Carers, We have had another full and productive week. On Tuesday we were proud to host the Most Serious Violence Reduction Conference, hosted by PC Pringle and attended by professionals and partner agencies from across the Isle of Wight. We were also excited to welcome Pride of Britain Winner and inspirational speaker, Omar Sharif, to the Academy where he spoke to our students about gun and knife crime. On Thursday, we held our Year 9 Parents’ Evening and we are grateful to all parents who attended and hope that you found the evening helpful in providing feedback to help you support your child. Next week we look forward to the fantastic Noël Turner Science Festival on February 6th and 7th. This year, the festival is run by Winchester Science Museum and promises to be bigger and better than previous years. We are excited to welcome students from across the island and all students in Years 7 to 10 at Cowes Enterprise College will be able to take part in the event which focuses practical and dynamic learning about Science with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) career support on offer. Please be aware that this year, to ensure that our students can fully experience the Festival, we have no early closures. Additionally, all students in Year 7 will be travelling to Cineworld on Thursday to watch a National Theatre Live performance of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ as part of their English Mastery Lessons. Next week is also Children’s Mental Health Week, and we are proud to continue our focus on mental health and wellbeing in the Academy in the coming week especially through assemblies and E1M (Everyone Matters) lessons.
