| Participating in a Leadership Scheme
is a vital and fulfilling role, where students receive training
and guidance from a member of staff as well as developing
projects independently in small groups. Furthermore, it is
a positive way to enhance a students’ curriculum and develop
leadership and organisational skills ahead of college applications.

Thorpe Park Social - 16 May 2010 |
|
 |
Dear Parents/Guardians, |
| The Year 10 Team is delighted to
inform you that a day trip to Thorpe
Park has been planned for Sunday 16 May. |
| We will be travelling by coach leaving
the school at 8.00am and we hope to return to Comberton by
6.00pm. You would need arrange to drop off your son/daughter
at the College no later than 7.45am. |
| The total cost of this trip is £25.00.
This cost includes entry into the theme park, transport and
insurance. The school insurance policy covers pupils for medical,
personal accident, and personal effects and money. Further
details are available from the college on request. |
| Pupils will need to bring a packed
lunch with them or a small amount of money to cover the cost
of their lunch from one of the vendors there. Pupils won’t
need to be in school uniform but will need to wear appropriate
clothing, considering that the majority of the park is outdoors.
|
| Places are limited and if this trip
is oversubscribed names will be drawn out of a hat. The maximum
number of pupils we can take is 140 and they will be accompanied
by 10 members of staff. If your son/daughter would like to
participate in this trip please complete the Consent
Form and return it to Mrs Cullingford or hand it in to
Mrs Stewart’s office by Thursday 1 April. Places will then
be allocated and if your son/daughter gains a place we will
contact you to arrange payment details. If you then fail to
pay by the deadline your son daughter’s place will be allocated
to someone on the waiting list. |
| In
the event of an emergency on the trip, parents will be contacted
via the numbers given on the consent forms, so please make
sure these are accurate and up-to-date. If you need to contact
the trip for whatever reason while we are out the trip can
be reached via a member of the Senior Leadership Group on
07768 925869. |

Fifty Years at Comberton Village College |
|

2010 sees the 50th Anniversary
of the opening of Comberton Village College: "...At 8.40
on the morning of Tuesday 5 January 1960, a sunny and relatively
mild day, buses bringing children from the surrounding villages
drew up outside Comberton Village College and the youngsters
ran into their new school. There were 242 pupils: 145 boys
and 97 girls. Many wore the school uniform selected by the
Warden, Roger Adcock, and his Deputy, Nora Beaumont: royal
blue blazer, mid-grey skirt, white blouse and grey cardigan
for the girls, black blazer, grey trousers, white or grey
shirt and grey pullover for the boys. Both boys and girls
wore the school tie of grey, gold and royal blue stripes on
a maroon background. A grey beret was optional for girls,
a black cap for boys..." |
