Dear Parents/Carers

We are doing all we can to ensure our students have an optimum learning experience whilst at the Bourne Community College. To support this and be in line with other schools we have decided to change our Mobile Phone Policy to improve our learning environment during the whole time students are in school and build student resilience and independence.

As a result we are saying –

  • No mobile phones are allowed out on the school site, in class and/or break or lunch times
  • Students must keep them in the bottom of their bags or in their lockers – switched off

This will ensure that students are not distracted in lessons or using their phones inappropriately. Our new Mobile Phone Policy is on the College website and we want to reassure you that we have consulted with both students, staff and parents in drawing up this policy.

For your information we have put the following in place to support the new policy –

  • From September students will have a planner, so communication etc. can be written in them for parents, staff and students
  • If a student needs to contact home then can do so via their Student Manager
  • If a parent needs to contact their son/daughter they can do so via the Student Manager
    Mrs Tibbetts for Years 10 & 11 – ext 214
    Mrs Hudson for Years 7 & 8 – ext 218
    Mrs Whitlock for Year 9 – ext 223

Please do read the Policy and if you have any queries, please get back to myself or Mrs Murray-Brown. We will introduce this Policy after the half term break and I thank you in advance for your support.

 

Yours sincerely

Mrs Y Watkins
Headteacher

Year 11 Geography students worked extremely well on their revision. Students worked in pairs and had 10 minuets to summarize two contrasting case studies on The Outer Hebrides and South Cambridgeshire. The quality and knowledge shown in their work really impressed us. Well done year 11!

We are delighted to share some exciting news from the classroom! Our Year 7 students have been hard at work this term, delving into the fascinating world of myths and legends. As part of their studies, they have been tasked with creating their own mythical monsters—a journey that has spurred their imaginations and artistic talents.

First, the students planned and described their abominable creations in vivid detail. Their creativity and storytelling skills truly shone as they brought these mythical beings to life on paper. Next, they turned their drawings into digital art by using AI, transforming their blood-curdling concepts into striking visual masterpieces.

We are incredibly proud of the effort and dedication our Year 7 students have shown. Their work has been nothing short of spectacular, and we are thrilled to celebrate their achievements with you.

Thank you for your continued support and encouragement.

Warm regards,

Mr Tom Butler and the English Team

Year 10 Geography and Triple Science students had the opportunity to be part of a special cross-curricular enrichment activity. The event was lead by Scientist Dr. Leigh Hickmott, world leading expert in Pack-Ice Killer whales. He visited us at the Bourne to deliver a talk about his recent BBC programme, 'Expedition Killer Whale' and elevated students' knowledge of Antarctica's ecosystems. The students fully immersed themselves into the presentation and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. On behalf of The Bourne Community College, we would like to thank @leighhickmott for his visit and will be looking forward to seeing more of his amazing work.

Please check out Leigh Hickmott recent BBC program:
