Countesthorpe Leysland Community College

Check out this amazing future Snooker Star!
Declan, a Year 8 Countesthorpe Leysland Community College student, is budding snooker player and has been playing since we was 7 years old.
Declan has played in many matches and entered a snooker competition in which he played against "The Jester from Leicester", Mr Mark Selby!
... We think Declan will be a future Snooker Star and wish him all the best for the future.

Year 11 Public Examinations
This week students begin their public examinations and I would like to take this opportunity to wish you and your child good luck and reiterate the key points from my letter in March.
Exam Preparation Programme
... We have replaced traditional ‘study leave’ with an Exam Preparation Programme. Formal lessons end on Thursday 23rdMay after their English exam. Beyond that time, students have a personalised programme of events they must attend in addition to their exams. This might include revision booster sessions or walking talking mocks. If students have this on their personalised timetable they are expected to be in College.
There are some occasions when examinations finish after 2pm but before 3pm (before the 23rd May) and on these occasions, students will be allowed to leave the site earlier than normal.
During the Examinations
It is imperative that students come to examinations properly equipped and with the full correct uniform and attitude. Failure to wear the correct uniform risks them being turned away from the exam. This includes their lanyard which ensure invigilators can tell who they are. Students must have the correct equipment.
Anyone violating examination procedure will be removed from the examination and reported to the examination board. Mobile telephones and smart watches, in particular, are causing concern. A mobile phone or other digital device sounding during an examination is deemed to be malpractice and the student responsible will be given zero marks for that particular examination. These are the rules stipulated by the examination board which we have to enforce. A copy of the exam regulations has been shared with students.
It is essential that students are on time for their examinations. Before each morning examination there is a Hot Tips session at 8.30am where last minute tips and reminders are shared. In the afternoon, this begins at 12.35pm and all students are expected to attend.
Exam Results
GCSE results will be available from the College site on Thursday 22nd August from 9am. The results can only be issued to the students themselves; anyone collecting results on behalf of a student must have a letter signed by that student.
I would like to wish all students well over these next few weeks and that all their hard work pays off.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs C. Aitcheson
Principal

PROPOSED NEW SCHOOL BUILDING EVENT WEDNESDAY 15 MAY 2019 3.00PM – 7.30PM
I am delighted to inform you that we have had confirmation that Countesthorpe Leysland Community College will receive funding from the Department for Education as part of the Priority Schools Building Programme to rebuild part of the college.
This will mean that we will have a complete new build to replace the Leysland building. The new build will be located much closer to the Countesthorpe site removing... the need for students to go across the path between lessons. The new build will comprise of
20 classrooms 3 ICT rich classrooms 4 Art Rooms 1 Food Room Activity Studio Staff work rooms Offices Pupil and staff toilets Pupil and staff changing rooms
We are incredibly excited about this as it will bring the two parts of the college much closer together as well as providing us with brand new facilities.
There will be an opportunity for you to view our proposals in advance of the submission of a planning application and to offer feedback, once complete, students and staff will move into the new build and the Leysland building will be demolished. There is a public consultation on Wednesday 15 May 2019 at the college from 3pm to 7.30pm, the flyer (https://www.clcc.college/…/19.020-Publ ic-Exhibition-Leaflet…) contains further information related to the event. Please come along and you will be able to see plans and drawings of what the building and the site will look like.
I am sure you will agree this is a fantastic development for the college and I know you would want to support us in ensuring the plans are approved.
Yours sincerely
Mrs C. Aitcheson
Principal

Congratulations to all the Year 11 Students at our Awards Evening.
The event was a brilliant evening with lots of students achieving a variety of different awards to recognise the outstanding work, effort and contribution they have made during their time with us.
This year the Principal’s award went to Sonia. Mrs Aitcheson congratulated Sonia saying, “Sonia has worked incredibly hard over the last five years. She has made exceptional progress, in particular in English where s...he has improved by two grades this year, but doesn’t make a big deal of it - she simply does what needs to be done to succeed”.
The winner of the Roger Lawrence Science & Technology award was Callum. Mrs Russell explained why Callum was successful in achieving this accolade. “Callum has shown great determination throughout the year in Science, a subject that Callum didn't find easy. However with persistence Callum has shown exactly what he could achieve. In Resistant Materials Callum created an amazing chopping board with laser cut scenes of London, and even an array of 3D printed London monuments! I am sure Callum is destined for great things.”
Well done to all the award winners for showing determination, persistence, hard work, and being the best they can be.
