    Ely College Newsletter March 2018 From the Principal At times this term I wondered whether we were in the grip of a Narnia-like perpetual winter! The ‘Beast from the East’ didn’t manage to close us down, but it did make for some very cold days in college. I’m grateful to all students and families for their support and understanding during the poor weather. I’m sure we are all looking forward to a rest over the Easter break and, hopefully, some spring sunshine. Once again, this edition of the newsletter reflects a huge amount of effort and activity over the last Head Boy and Head few weeks. One of my highlights this half term was the Science fair; not simply because of the effort and enthusiasm on display, but also because of the very high quality of Scientific knowledge and Girl Elections curiosity that Year 7 and Year 8 students demonstrated. It was lovely, too, to welcome so many We are pleased to announce the parents and primary school students into college to share in the experience. following candidates are in the running for Ely College Head Boy Our PE department continues to deliver an ever-growing range of experiences and opportunities. The growth of girls’ rugby this year has been fantastic, and the recent trip to the Ricoh Arena was a and Head Girl positions: resounding success.

  • Review of Secondary School Provision in the Fenland District
    REVIEW OF SECONDARY SCHOOL PROVISION IN THE FENLAND DISTRICT PROPOSAL FOR A NEW SECONDARY SCHOOL IN WISBECH BACKGROUND CONSULTATION DOCUMENT 1 PURPOSE The purpose of this document is to: • Draw attention to the rising number of primary aged pupils across Fenland, the impact of proposed new housing and the resultant pressure to provide additional places in secondary schools in the District. • Outline the conclusions of the Council’s review of secondary school provision in Fenland and its recommendations in respect of each of the four market towns within the District; Wisbech, Chatteris, March and Whittlesey. • Seek, in principle support for the proposal to provide a new secondary school in Wisbech in response to the forecast demand for places and expand provision in March, Chatteris and Whittlesey when required. • Obtain the views of parents and the local community on the Council’s early site search work, which identified the site of the former College of West Anglia (CWA) horticultural and equine facility adjacent to Meadowgate School, as having the potential to be developed for a secondary school (location plan included). OR • For respondents to identify and consider whether there are any alternative sites within Wisbech that may provide a better site for a secondary school and which the Council should consider 1 2. BACKGROUND Demography There are four secondary schools in Fenland: Neale-Wade Academy (March), Thomas Clarkson Academy (Wisbech), Sir Harry Smith Community College (Whittlesey) and Cromwell Community College (Chatteris). There is a distance of between 6-13 miles separating each school (measured in a straight line). A review of secondary school provision in Fenland was undertaken in response to: • demographic change (the population of the District has grown by 13.9% to 95,300 since 2001) • rising pupil numbers in the primary schools and • the proposed levels of housing development (11,000 homes across the District in the period up to 2031) included in the Fenland District Local Plan (2014).
