Dear Parents and Carers

Phew! I think that parents, students, and staff have heaved a collective sigh of relief at the end of an exceptionally hard-worked half term. Thank you for all your efforts in supporting your children’s education under such challenging circumstances – take a look at our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/CambourneVC/ for this Friday’s Shout-Outs; staff are continuing to be impressed by the quality of so much of the work achieved.

Parent Survey - We are keen to have your feedback on the effectiveness of our remote provision; if you have not already done this, please take a few minutes to complete the survey on the link below and submit by the end of Sunday 14^th February so that your responses can be analysed by Ms Gildea over the half term.

School Reopening - We are awaiting an important announcement from the Prime Minister on 22^nd February regarding the reopening of schools - hopefully from 8^th March. We also hope for a decision on the process for awarding grades to Year 11 this summer and understand the anxiety that this uncertainty is causing our students.

In the meantime, we wish you and your children a well-deserved, restful and enjoyable half term break.

Please take good care of yourselves,

Claire Coates
