Meridian Trust proposes to extend the age range of Northstowe Secondary College (NSC) to 2-19 by opening a Primary and Nursery Wing (located the other side of the Martin Bacon School) forming the latest part of the development of the Northstowe Learning Community campus. We are sure many of you will be aware of the original vision laid out in 2007 for high quality, all-through, inclusive education at the heart of our local community and by making this change and opening the new primary school, potentially in 2024, we will take the final step in realising those plans.
Please visit the NSC website for more details, to view the consultation presentation, and to give your views. Age Range Consultation – Northstowe Secondary College (northstowesc.org)

 We have received a request to share the following message on behalf of the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities, regarding a resource for BN(O) children and ask you to share it, as appropriate:
Funded by the VCSE grant, UKHK has produced a Welcome Magazine - a free resource which is available to schools and organizations who might be interested in helping children newly arrived from Hong Kong to integrate into school and the UK. The Welcome Magazine is a gift for incoming children from Hong Kong under the BN(O) visa scheme at primary school age, and a bilingual resource to help them feel welcome and learn more about British culture. It includes fun facts about life in the UK and signposts to local services and groups to further assist the child’s integration. Copies of the magazine can be posted to schools free of charge - make your request using this form.
Please let us know the dates your school has scheduled the 5 teacher training/professional days that are available to be taken at schools’ discretion during Academic Year 2022/23. We request this information from schools annually so that Cambridgeshire Services can plan support and provision for schools, pupils, parents, and carers accordingly. Please also let us know your school start/finish times for September 2022. This information is requested in response to the recent government white paper - Opportunity for all: strong schools with great teachers for your child, that sets an expectation for all state-funded mainstream schools to deliver a minimum length of school week of 32.5 hours as soon as they can, and from September 2023 at the latest. Please send us the dates and times for your school by completion of the following online survey by 5PM Friday 27th May 2022.
