Sawtry Community College Sarah Shaw-Wilson MA Acting Principal Fen Lane, Sawtry Huntingdon Cambridgeshire PE28 5TQ Tel: 01487 830701 Fax: 01487 831679 E-mail: [email protected] www.sawtrycc.com 8th January,2015 Dear Parents/Carers ‘‘Session 6’ will start again on Monday 12th January and will continue to offer students the opportunity to extend their school day and take part in a range of clubs, activities, coursework development and exam intervention sessions. Students will be supported by members of staff and will also have access to the internet and any other resources they may need. It is our belief that engaging students for an extra hour a day will play an important part in ensuring every student makes maximum progress during their time at Sawtry Community College. ‘Session 6’ will run from 3.30pm-4.30pm, Monday to Friday, throughout the remaining weeks of the academic year. The timetable will change on a half-termly basis to reflect the different requirements and priorities of that particular time of year. In order to support parents/carers with this extra commitment, the college will provide a transport service (Monday-Thursday only) leaving the college at 4.40pm each day. A minibus will run south, with stops in Alconbury (Jct Spinney & Church Street) and Alconbury Weston. It will also run north to Stilton, Folksworth, Connington, Holme and Yaxley. The cost of this service is £1 per day, with tickets purchased from Mrs Ford in Student Services before school. Places are limited on the transport, however, if demand exceeds the number of places, we will look into providing extra transport. If your child is in receipt of the Pupil Premium payment, the College is able to use some of its Pupil Premium funds to pay for the transport home and therefore the £1 charge is non-applicable. If you are unsure whether your child is in receipt of Pupil Premium, or think they may be eligible but are not currently on the Pupil Premium list, please contact Miss Forrester at the College. The college firmly believes that by extending the provision and opportunities for students across the whole college, a positive impact can be yielded by all students involved. If you have any questions about ‘Session 6’, please do not hesitate to contact me at the College. Yours sincerely, Mr P Baynes Assistant Principal Sawtry Community College is a DfE designated Maths & Computing College
