These screenings are now full but schools can request a copy of the DVD by sending an e-mail to [email protected] with ‘School DVD Request’ in the subject line. Training for school staff linked to the Ten Pieces project will be run at the Hub conference on 23rd October. In addition, during the Spring term, musicians from the BBC Concert Orchestra will be delivering workshops in schools where students compose their own music responses to the Ten Pieces. These musicians will also work with local families as we set up Cornwall’s own ‘Family Orchestra’.

  • Falmouth University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25
    Falmouth University Access and Participation Plan 2020-21 to 2024-25 Introduction Falmouth University (Falmouth) is an anchor institution in Cornwall, fully engaged with the County’s economic, skills and enterprise agendas. The University makes a significant contribution to delivering higher skills to the county, alongside documented employment and economic benefits. Falmouth is committed to ensuring that students from all backgrounds can benefit from a Falmouth education, which facilitates their successful introduction to and participation in local and wider employment markets. Falmouth believes that it has a unique opportunity to ‘bridge’ the specialist creative disciplines to broader school subjects, as well as providing the benefits of studying at a smaller provider. Broadening this ambition locally and nationally, particular in the most deprived areas, is a priority. This is part of a commitment to sector priorities, and advocacy for the creating and performing arts as critically valuable education and career pathways for the future economy. This is enshrined in the Falmouth 2030 Strategy. As confirmed by its ‘Gold’ Teaching Excellence Framework award, Falmouth meets the highest standards for teaching quality, student retention, and graduate outcomes. While these standards provide an excellent foundation for success, Falmouth has set a vision for continuous improvement across the student lifecycle. The University’s ambitions over the coming years are to further understand and improve performance in areas that have also been highlighted as priorities at the national level, and address gaps in access and attainment for its target students. 1 Assessment of performance Falmouth University campuses are situated in Penryn and Falmouth, in Cornwall. The county is coastal, largely rural and 1 has a population of 536,000 dispersed across the region.

  • Interim Newsletter – May
    24th May 2016 Dear Parents/Carers, As we approach the half term break, I am pleased to be able to write to you to bring you up to date with all that has been happening at saltash.net since the start of the summer term. Exam season is, of course, well and truly upon us now, with years 10, 11 and 12 all taking some of their GCSE and A Level examinations before half term and Year 13 joining them from the start of June onwards. Although we hold ‘official last day’ events for both Years 11 and 13, all students sitting exams are still able to participate in and make the most of our extensive revision programme which will be running throughout the duration of the exams as well as over the half term holiday. We have all been so impressed with how our young people have approached their exams this summer, especially those students who have experienced major challenges and difficulties in their home or personal lives over the past year. We are full of admiration for them and also pleased that our school has such a strong pastoral support network in place to help guide and intervene when necessary. We wish all students sitting exams this year all the very best. As we regularly say to our students, academic success is very important but so too is how they are developing as well rounded individuals who appreciate and demonstrate the values at the heart of our school: Respect, Responsibility, Compassion, Honesty, Fairness and Perseverance. At the recent May Fair in Saltash, a number of members of our local community (including those who live close to our school) came up to tell me how impressed they were with the behaviour and conduct of our students – not just what they read about them in the local papers, but also when they see them around Saltash.

  • Mark Degree 2020 Newsletter
    Provincial Grand Lodge of Mark Master Masons of Cornwall October 2020 Issue 7 Marking Time An update from the Deputy Provincial Grand Master In these curious days, the likes of which most of us have never seen before, it may be a good opportunity to pause and reflect as we have so much more time on our hands. With this enforced lay-off from our normal life, how have we spent this time? I’m sure our gardens are looking much better than they have for years and jobs around the house are mostly caught up. As for me, Carole made a list of chores to accomplish and I have been “gradually” working my way through them only to find that as soon as I finish one she adds another to the bottom of the list. Brethren, if you have any spare time please consider keeping in contact with some of your Lodge members who may live alone or whom you think might need a bit of cheering up, it’s surprising what a friendly voice on the end of the phone can do. Out of this turmoil and uncertainty, there are many unsung heroes stepping up and making their mark, whether it be at their place of work, fund raising or charity giving and all must be congratulated on their great efforts. With respect to Charity, Freemasonry is devoted to the promotion of the welfare and happiness of all mankind, it teaches us its members, that unselfishness is a duty and it’s not only more blessed to give than to receive, but also more rewarding.
