It has been wonderful to welcome students back after the half-term break as we begin the final half-term of the academic year. For our Year 11 students, we are approaching the last few exams. We would like to draw your attention to the important dates included in the email sent to parents/carers of Year 11 yesterday.
You will be aware that we have been on a journey at Carisbrooke College where we have established a very clear vision for our school's future. This has included adopting our school motto of 'Education is Our Castle' and our associated school CASTLE values. We are excited to now begin the process of refreshing our branding in-line with our current position, particularly looking at our school logo.
We are asking parents, carers, staff, governors and our wider school community to share their views to help shape a new design that reflects who we are today and our future aspirations.
Please take a few minutes to complete our online feedback form here: https://forms.gle/scxEsPQifHvfhPm36
The deadline to complete the form is 23:59 on Sunday 14 June. We will then collate your feedback and share the next steps in the process. Students will also be asked to share their feedback with us via a separate online form or via a creative design task we will be running in school.
With the recent wet weather, we would like to encourage all students to wear a suitable waterproof coat when travelling to and from school. Hoodies and other non-uniform items should not be worn in place of school uniform.
The Department for Education has earmarked Wednesday 17 June as Thank a Teacher Day. This is a moment to recognise the dedication, creativity, and care of all staff that work in schools.
If you and your child would like to send a free e-card to a member of staff, you can do so here
Let’s acknowledge the vital work happening in education across the country.
