Dear Parents & Carers

Thanking you all for your support this term, which has been full of opportunities and sheer hard work, especially for our Year 11, who have revised so well for their mocks and have been superstars in all their exams.

Updates this week –

Police Notice
We have been advised by the local Police that local children are planning a large outdoor gathering today, possibly in Arundel, so parents need to be aware of where their children are going today and this weekend.  They will deal with any ASB or alcohol related disorder they find.

Covid Guidelines
This is the latest guidance we have received –
Individuals can still reduce the risk of catching and passing on COVID-19 by:

1. Getting vaccinated;
2. Letting fresh air in if meeting indoors, or meeting outside;
3. Wearing a face covering in crowded and enclosed spaces, especially where you come into contact with people you do not usually meet, when rates of transmission are high;
4. Trying to stay at home if you are unwell;
5. Taking a test if you have COVID-19 symptoms, and staying at home and avoiding contact with other people if you test positive; and
6. Washing your hands and following advice to ‘Catch it, Bin it, Kill it’.

Inset Day
A reminder that we have an Inset Day on Monday 25 April 2022, students return on Tuesday 25 April 2022.  The last day of term will be Thursday 21 July 2022.
Term dates and Inset Days for next year to follow.

Staff News
Sadly we are saying goodbye to Mr Charles Colley and Mrs Vicky Smith, who are both leaving the Bourne Community College to pursue their personal adventures with their families.  We sincerely thank them both for all their amazing input to the school and the wonderful support they have given since they stated with us in 2004 and 2002 respectively.

We will miss them both, but thank them and wish them the very best for the future.

Finally, wishing you all a great Easter break and lots of relaxation time with your families.

Kind regards

Yvonne Watkins
