This is an exciting time for our students moving schools and we want to ensure that the transfer into the College is both a smooth and stimulating experience for every individual. Together, the College and parents share a common commitment and responsibility to support each child’s individual progress through the College, providing them with opportunities and support for their personal development and academic achievement. The most important part of this transition process is developing the relationship between the tutor, student and parent, as well as integrating new students into their new tutor group and teaching group. For Year 6, this is the focus of both the Open Evening on 27th September and the transition plan during year 6. This booklet should provide you with important summary information of what your child can look forward to experiencing at the College. However, it cannot cover everything so if you have any burning questions, do not hesitate to ask at the Open Evening or at any time by contacting reception or your House office when places are allocated later in the year. Separate student information will be handed out to students during the Year 6 Induction Days in July 2019; which covers information on day to day routines and expectations. I encourage you to have a look at the College website www.swaveseyvc.co.uk. The site is regularly updated and includes news that highlights recent or forthcoming events. Yours faithfully, Jim Stavrou Headteacher 1 Vision Our Vision is that ‘Swavesey Village College is an inspirational place to work and learn at the heart of our local community.’ We maintain our commitment to this Vision by focusing on: 1. What we are deeply passionate about as educators 2. What we believe we can be the best in the world at as a School 3. Assessing our progress and success against some very measurable outcomes. At the heart of all of this is an unwavering commitment to fostering strong, positive, honest and respectful relationships throughout our community. 2 Ofsted Inspection 2011 (Summary) The report praised the drive, structures and practices that have underpinned the rapid improvements that have taken place in standards at the school since the last report in 2006. The headlines from the report are: Students reach high standards and make outstanding progress because of the excellent teaching, the exceptional curriculum and the very high standard of care, guidance and support. Every member of staff shows whole-hearted commitment to the school’s aim of meeting the needs of every student. The progress of students within the school is singled out for praise. Students’ personal development is outstanding because of the highly effective tutor system and the excellent impact of the extended curriculum. The quality of teaching has similarly moved from good to outstanding through a programme of professional development to improve teachers’ skills in using assessment to support learning. Being a student at Swavesey ‘makes an outstanding contribution to their employability and future well- being.’ In particular, the Report praises the school’s uncompromising focus upon the achievement of every student - its 100% philosophy: The school’s approach to academic monitoring is exemplary, with a heavy emphasis on inclusion and achievement for all. The breadth of the curriculum means that all students follow programmes that are highly suited to their needs, with bespoke arrangements being made if needed. The mixed-aged tutor groups mean that tutors can focus on the four or five students in each age group at appropriate times of the year. Every student is known as an individual. Every child succeeds and the school has many success stories illustrating its impact on students’ lives. Despite the rapid improvement over the past 5 years, the Inspectors commend the school’s commitment to continuous improvement. There is absolutely no complacency, with even successful practices being invigorated through review and further innovation. The involvement of so many staff and students in the benchmarking of good practice through external visits brings a surge of energy for improvement. ‘Swavesey Village College is an outstanding school in every respect.’ Swavesey Village College joins a very select group of schools nationally

  • Launchpad Handbook
    Partner Handbook 2018–19 Managed by What is Cambridge Launchpad? Cambridge LaunchPad is a movement led by science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) organisations, who invest their talent and resources to inspire young people into STEM careers. The programme provides students aged 8 to 17 with experiences and opportunities, and is designed to address the diversity issues which exist in STEM employment. Our industry partners and partner schools are at the heart of the programme. By building bridges between education and employment, we can support and contribute to the growing demand for a skilled workforce in the Greater Cambridge region. If you’re interested in finding out more about all our activities, you can sign up to our newsletter: cambridge-launchpad.com/newsletter. How does the programme work? Cambridge LaunchPad is a 3-tiered scheme designed to excite, educate and encourage students from Year 4 all the way through to the end of Year 12. Over the academic year, each of our industry partners host project days that give the students a chance to gain hands-on experience within a STEM field and build on what they may have learnt in the classroom. During these events, the students are encouraged to develop and improve the Cambridge LaunchPad core skills. These are qualities that they will use throughout their everyday lives, such as communication, teamwork, problem solving and innovation. The students that display these attributes or show improvement throughout the day will be chosen to attend our annual award ceremony to celebrate their personal development. As the Cambridge LaunchPad programme rewards through experiences, these students will also attend an educational prize trip, alongside the winning students from other project days.
