A MESSAGE
FROM THE
PRINCIPAL
Dear all,
There has been so much
happening this term, our
Health and Social Care
students took their first exam, we have also established Football
Academy with Adam Barrett and had our first Department of
Education monitoring visit.
The vast majority of students have been working very hard,
completing their course work on time and focusing in lessons.
Our Level 2 Health and Social Care students took their exams for
the first time in January, and I am happy to report that over 90%
of students passed this exam. Well done to these students, they
have worked incredibly hard and deserve their success.
I am pleased to announce that NCB Studio School and Players
Football Academy (PFA) have teamed up to offer males and
females, aged 16-19, the opportunity to train like a professional
footballer whilst continuing their education. This wonderful
opportunity is giving students to train at a professional club and
compete in the Essex Colleges League.
I am now recruiting new students who will be entering the school
for the first time in September; I look forward to meeting these
students and their parents.
Best wishes
Jasmine
PRE OFSTED VISIT
On the 9th January, the School received its very first Department
for Education monitoring visit. The feedback from Val McGregor,
the Department for Education Adviser was very positive. She
praised the school and highlighted how impressive the students
were - I already know this!
The students behaved impeccably on the day and I was very
proud of how they conducted themselves demonstrating
confidence and professionalism.
The feedback from the Adviser highlighted that our School
is providing a stimulating and appropriately challenging
educational offer to our students. They also noted that our
students’ behaviour during transitions and lunch and break time
was exemplary and that all students conducted themselves with
composure and professionalism. As a school community we are
very proud!
