Dear Parents and Carers

NEU Day of action – Wednesday 1 February 2023
The school will be closed to all students on this day

Since my letter of 19 January 2023, we have received additional information from NEU members, which now makes it impossible to open the school to students on 1 February 2023.

The dispute is at national level, between the public sector unions and the government, and is not between our staff and the school. Obviously, my primary concern is for the safety of the students and this has driven my decision to close the school.

Students should continue with their studies at home and English, Maths and Science work will be signposted via Bromcom. Please check that your child can login to Bromcom to access their work. Any problems please contact ictsupport@bourne.org.uk or ask your child to visit the IT department at break or lunchtime.

Please be assured that this decision has not been taken lightly and accept my apologies for any inconvenience which it causes to your family.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Yvonne Watkins
Head teacher

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.

Year 8 are currently studying Cubism, learning about this style of art and through this project, they are continuing to develop their drawing skills. Photos show work from a lesson drawing paper cups, using parallel lines and ellipses to guide shape, adding shading with smudge sticks. Photos show some of examples of the work from our fabulous year 8 students!
