Photo album—Music and art on a summer evening On Wednesday 22 June, we enjoyed a fabulous Summer Soirée on a glorious midsummer evening, with music on the Bowling Green from the symphonic wind orchestra, jazz group, choirs, soloists and ensembles. After 18 years as Director of Music, Christopher Charlesworth is stepping down this summer, so the concert had an extra special feel with former students and members of the community joining in. The second half featured a ‘Last Night of the Proms’ selection of musical favourites before a rousing finale of fireworks. Before the Soirée, students and parents enjoyed an exhibition of Year 11 GCSE Art work in the West Common Room. Here are some photos of a memorable evening. Photo album—Glitz and glamour at the Year 11 Ball Two days after the Summer Soirée, the sun shone on LVC once again as Year 11 students arrived to celebrate the end of their exams at the Leavers’ Ball. The Ball was organised by Charlotte Foster, Tracy Coston and the Friends of LVC with a ‘Great Gatsby’ theme. Huge crowds turned out to greet the arrivals in their smart suits, glamorous dresses and inventive methods of transport, as they entered the college to a jazz band and a red carpet reception. College news The Class of 2016 celebrated their five years at LVC on Leavers’ Day on Friday 27 May. We wish them all good luck in their exams and best wishes for the future. Year 10 Geography students spent a day at Walton-on-the-Naze studying coastal erosion for their GCSE coursework. The activities included a walk along the cliffs and beach to see the effects of erosion, conducting a questionnaire with local inhabitants and getting their feet wet while measuring the groynes and carrying out experiments in the sea. As reported last month, Mr Clarke and Mrs Williamson received awards for their long service as volunteer leaders for the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award. Here they are with other teachers receiving their awards from HRH Prince Edward, Earl of Wessex, at Bottisham Village College. Sports news Two teams from LVC are through to the county cricket finals. Here is an account of how one team qualified. I took 12 Year 7 girls to play in a district cricket tournament. It was 8-a-side with each match having two innings of 4 overs and a points system based on both wickets and runs. In our first match against Netherhall, we lost 3 wickets in the first over but this brought Charlotte to the wicket who hit fours for fun and a six! With some excellent tight bowling, we went on to win by 60 points. The second match against St Bede’s was much closer. Zoe was terrific behind the stumps with a catch and a stumping. The second innings started with a superb caught and bowled, first ball, from Morven and solid batting from the whole team saw us win by 18 points. This got us through to the semi- final against North Cambridge Academy who had a fearsome bowling attack, but Aleena dug in to carry her bat for the first innings. More tight bowling restricted the opposition to a total of 39 points and when Olivia let loose with the bat, she helped give us a magnificent total of 114 points. Congratulations to all the girls, superbly led by captain Anna, who supported each other with tremendous team spirit and thoroughly deserve their place in the finals on 7 July. Jerry Hyde If you like what you read in this newsletter about our outstanding school, please register your views on the Ofsted Parent View website at parentview.ofsted.gov.uk In April, 40 students travelled to Birmingham to visit the Jaguar car plant. The plant used to be the site where they built the Spitfire aircraft in large numbers during the Second World War. The day was split into two sections, a tour of the plant and a training session on the importance of planning to maintain quality on the production line. The tour of the site was amazing. We looked at the whole process from how the metal came into the factory, to the finished -F type cars coming off the production line. To think the whole process only takes 4 days is fascinating. The tour looked at the production line process and the robotic technology used to produce quality cars. The second session was focused on the planning involved in the process, especially how to make it more efficient and therefore reduce the manufacturing time. The students also experienced programming robotic arms. All the students thought they had a fantastic day. Paul Williams A group of 25 Year 10 Engineering and Science students joined students from all over Cambridgeshire and beyond at the Cambridge STEM Fair and Careers Day Workshop at the Imperial War Museum, Duxford on 15 June. The students gained an exciting insight into the world of work through a series of organised workshops by ‘STEM Team East’.

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.

  • Balsham Parish Council Bus Reform Proposal October 2020 1
    Balsham Parish Council Bus Reform Proposal October 2020 1. Introduction According to the 2011 Census, Balsham has a population of over 1,591. It has been identified as the least accessible ward in South Cambridge with a lack of public transport as well as the length of time it takes to access work, education, health, leisure and social activities. Around 2012, Stagecoach cut the 16a service to one bus per day. After some discussions, the timetable was adjusted so the service was to run 15 minutes earlier ensuring commuters would arrive at work on time and 25 minutes later in the afternoon. This adjustment helped commuters in the morning but not coming back home in the evenings. Just after 16a service was cut, the Big Green Bus shuttle service, the number 19, started running services during the day between Haverhill, Burrough Green, Balsham and Linton with the aim to provide transport links between towns and villages. The Parish Council recognises Balsham and the surrounding villages have the poorest public transport links with current services not working for the majority of residents. As a consequence, a survey and petition was organised at the end of 2019 to obtain information to find out if residents use the current service, how it is used, what the issues are, would a regular, reliable service be beneficial and what type of service is needed. 2. Overview Stagecoach 16a Service; There is only one bus service through the village, Stagecoach’s 16a service originating from Great Thurlow. The earliest it departs Balsham is 7.35am and leaves Cambridge at 4.40pm.
