  • September 2014
    September 2014 Dear Parent/Carer, Having now had two complete weeks of the school year, 2014-15, for all students at saltash.net, I am very pleased to be able to write to you and report that we have had an extremely positive start to the term. Not only have we welcomed all of our new Year 7 students to our school, we have also been pleased to receive 14 new students into Years 8, 9 and 10, as well as students from our own and other schools who have joined our excellent Sixth Form learning community, taking the total number of post 16 students to 214. If you are a new parent or carer to our school, then we say a special word of welcome to you. There will be many opportunities throughout the school year for you to get to know the staff and students at our school and we hope you will soon feel an established part of our whole school community. One of the first things I need to share with you in this newsletter is to do with school communication and the changes which have taken place to upgrade our ICT facilities. Our move to ‘Office 365’ and ‘The Cloud’ has meant a change to all staff email addresses. They now all follow the same pattern, which is a member of staff’s first name initial, followed by their surname and then @saltashcloud.net—so my address is ibryce@saltashcloud.net and my deputies are dbuckley@saltashcloud.net (Mr Dan Buckley), lgriffin@saltashcloud.net (Mrs Linda Griffin), and nscantlebury@saltashcloud.net (Mr Nick Scantlebury).

  • 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.

  • Laundry Life+Times Last.Pages
    The Life and Times of the Laundrys' * The Name Laundry has always seemed such a down to earth and functional name. I had thought that it denoted a family trade, much in the same way that Smith does, though there were family rumours that it was Spanish or French, and spoken with an accent it does sound a bit more romantic. Researching in the 'Partonymica Cornu-Britannica' of 1870 (the origin of Cornish names) it appears that someone has already given the name much thought. "Landrey, Landry. From Lan- dre, (Cornish) the church dwelling: lan-drea, the principal church; or Lan-dreath, -dreathe, the church on the sand or sandy shore. Hence perhaps Landary and Laundry." Another book on Cornish names has the name meaning 'Gods enclosure of oak trees'. A Canadian researcher, Marcel Landry (http://www.mwlandry.ca/angleterre.htm) has it that the name derives from old French 'Landri' through old German 'Landric(us)' meaning 'land ruler', the name brought over by a Breton Frenchman Stephan Landry who landed in Cornwall in 1561, he married locally and his descendants lived in the East Cornwall region though most seem to be called Landry. This version is supported by Ancestry.com who state that in middle English it was ‘Lavendrie’ from the old French Landri, from Germanic meaning ‘land’ and ‘power’. However there is nothing to say that it cannot be both that is an existing name from Cornish and derived from an imported French name. It has helped that Laundry is such an unusual name. During the mid 1800s most Laundrys, and there were only a hand full, lived in Cornwall with a few in Devon.
