Friday 8th February
Dear parents and carers We have had a full and productive week and we were pleased to welcome two national directors and one regional director to the Academy. They were bowled over with our state of the art facilities and the calm, productive, positive ethos shown throughout the college and could see the school was moving forward rapidly. You may have seen the press coverage this week of the Isle of Wight Youth Council’s first Youth Voice Awards (YoVA). We are very proud of this achievement as Cowes Enterprise College was one of only two schools to receive the silver award from the Isle of Wight Youth Council for our engagement with our students. Student Voice is of great importance to us and we are delighted to have our work recognised with this award. Thank you to all students who work hard to strengthen the school through their work on the student council. It has also been great to celebrate the success of our Warhammer team; four students took part in the first Warhammer Schools League Event in Newport on Sunday and collected a number of awards, including winning the event overall. Thank you to Mr Murphy and Mr Murdoch for their work in Warhammer Club each week and for supporting the students at the competition this weekend. As we move into our last week of the half term, we look forward to our Year 11 Revision Plan Launch Evening. This evening, taking place on Thursday 14th February, will introduce and explain the personalised revision guides that subject leaders have been working on to aid each student in achieving their targets. This evening will also present an opportunity for parents and carers to find out more about how we can work together to support our students as we approach exam season. A reminder that my parent surgeries continue this term on Tuesday afternoons. Please either email dharrison@cowesec.org or phone the school on 01983 203103 asking Donna Harrison to book a pre-booked slot. With best wishes, Rachel Kitley
