  • From the Headteacher What a Great Start to the New Academic Year Here at the College
    Pride ● Passion ● Positivity September Exeat Edition | Edition 12 Welcome from the Headteacher What a great start to the new academic year here at the College. I have met with all of our new Year 7 and Year 12 students; they are wonderful groups of young people who are quickly settling into life at the College and embracing all that we have to offer in their lessons and Wymondham Life activities. We have some new members of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) this year and some roles have also changed. We have included short biographies of the SLT in this edition of the Lion so that you can be fully up to date with who is who. The old Student Service building has now been completely demolished and the foundations are currently being constructed for the new Peter Rout Centre. This will house the Maths and SEND departments and will have a lecture theatre for meetings and talks. We will very quickly see the building take shape over the coming few months. The exams results that were published in the summer, once again, place us as one of the highest performing schools in the country. Our GCSE results rose from 83% to 86% (English and Maths 4+) and the progress made by our Year 13 students in their A Level exams was exceptional with an average point score that is the highest in the College’s history – a huge well done to our students and staff. One final announcement; we do have some capacity for current day students to become day boarders.

    3919th COMBAT SUPPORT GROUP LINEAGE STATIONS RAF Fairford, England, 1 Jan 1959-30 Jun 1964 ASSIGNMENTS COMMANDERS HONORS Service Streamers Campaign Streamers Armed Forces Expeditionary Streamers Decorations EMBLEM EMBLEM SIGNIFICANCE MOTTO NICKNAME OPERATIONS RAF Fairford's mission was to receive and support SAC's tactical units for pre and post strike staging through RAF Fairford, as well as providing the support and assistance to transport aircraft as required. In addition to this RAF Fairford had to provide operational and logistical support for six B-47 aircraft and crews on continuous alert under "Reflex Action". As of 1 January 1958 RAF Fairford was assigned the additional responsibility of supporting aircraft of the "Reflex" force on continuous alert during peacetime as well as wartime. This responsibility included the operational control and logistical support of the "Reflex" aircraft. The 3919th Air Base Squadron (SAC) was re-designated from the 3919th Air Base Group (SAC) on 15th October 1955, in accordance with SAC General Order 67, dated 30 September 1955. Prior to this re-designation, and during the period 1950-1952, the 3919th Air Base Group functioned under the designation of the 7507th Air Base Group, a satellite under the command of the 7503rd Air Support Wing at nearby RAF Brize Norton. During this period the base was under the control of Headquarters Third Air Force, USAFE. In October 1952 the 3919th Air Base Group was formed utilising personnel from the 7507th Air Base Group. Concurrently, RAF Fairford came under the control of Headquarters 7th Air Division (SAC) located at Ruislip, England. The 3919th Air Base Group operated as a Strategic Air Command forward base from October 1952 until October 1955, at which time the 3919th Air Base Squadron was formed from personnel of the 3919th Air Base Group and the mission changed from one of wing support to that of a Post-Strike station.

They have suffered foreign invasions and internal wars – it also fought with the UK against the fascists. He explained that the fact that both the UK and China celebrate their victory over Japan at a similar time each year (August and September) is a symbol of shared suffering as well as a celebration of peace. Mr Xaoming explained that their suffering meant that they enjoy peace more than most other countries, which is why they represent fairness in international affairs – he claimed that the Chinese people would never impose their will on others, but would not be bound to the will of others either.

  • Boarding Department Handbook
    BOARDING DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK ACADEMIC YEAR 2018/2019 (Updated June 2018) 1 CCB BOARDING DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK 2 CCB BOARDING DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK This booklet provides information on the Boarding Department of Campbell College, also referred to as School House, and a summary of the College’s Main Policies. College policies are reviewed and updated regularly; full and up to date versions of any policy may be viewed on our website: www.campbellcollege.co.uk or may be requested in hard copy from the College Reception. [In most of our policies there is a section explaining further procedures specific to the Boarding Department]. 3 CCB BOARDING DEPARTMENT HANDBOOK Mr R M Robinson, MBE HEADMASTER WELCOME FROM THE HEADMASTER Welcome to Campbell College, Belfast ‘Education is what survives when what has been learnt is forgotten,’ wrote B.F.Skinner. After all the chemical equations and dates of battles have been forgotten, the memories become fragmented into a series of moments – late-night conversations, the first reading of a particular book, or returning mud-drenched from a rugby match. The combination of these formative moments combine to make what we call an education; and, it is the case that boarders at Campbell have more to remember. Boarding has always been central to the life of the College. Boarding requires a student to take responsibility for their own life and to get on with a community of other people. It also provides them with a secure base and a focus of loyalty in a large school, as well as an opportunity for exercising responsibility and leadership in a community.
