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..." |

List of School Trips |
|
|
|
At Comberton Village College we offer
a wide range of off-site sporting, social and curriculum based
activities and trips to pupils each year. |
| Each Year Group Team aim to organise
one year group social event per term. This could be an external
trip such as ice skating, swimming, bowling, theme park or
an on-site activity such as a disco or barbecue. Activities
Week offers activities both on and off-site ranging from sports
to full international trips. |

Candlelit Dinner and Disco |
|
|
|
Dear Parents/Carers, |
| I am writing to inform you that we
have organised a Candlelit Dinner and Disco for Year 8 pupils
which is to be held on Thursday 28 January in the school Dining
Hall. This has been organised in anticipation of Valentine’s
Day and the Dining Hall will be decorated accordingly and
tables set in restaurant style. |
| The evening will start at 6.30pm
with a three course meal, followed by a Disco, which will
finish at 9.00pm. The cost of the evening is £9.00 inclusive;
any surplus money from this event will be donated to our chosen
charity ‘Childline’. |
| Pupils are asked to wear smart clothes
in order to fit in with the formal nature of the event. This
means ties for the boys and elegant clothes for the girls;
no trainers please. Ties will be lent to any boys who come
dressed without one. |
| If you would like your child to take
part in this event, please fill in the permission slip (sent
by ParentMail) and confirm menu choice then |
| return it with payment to the FINANCE
OFFICE as soon as possible. If paying by cheque please write
your child’s name, tutor group and ‘Year 8 Candlelit Dinner’
on the reverse and make it payable to Comberton Village College.
Tickets will then be issued, which will need to be shown on
the door on that evening. |

Feedback from Beaumanor 2009 |
|
| Following concern expressed by two
parents at the Year 8 Parents' Liaison Group meeting last
month we put together a questionnaire to get some feedback
on Beaumanor 2009. It was felt that it would be useful for
the teachers planning for next year. 219 pupils filled in
the questionnaire, so this isn't everyone who went to Beaumanor,
but it is possible to get a flavour of their feelings towards
the week. Overall, these feelings were incredibly positive
as you can see from the results. |
