HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Best wishes for a happy, fulfilling and successful 2002 to all CNS students
and parents. There are only ten school weeks until the Easter holiday and yet a
great deal of work needs to be completed by students in all year groups during
this short period. Good luck in your studies and - for students in Years 11, 12
and 13 - in your preparations for public examinations.
YEAR 11
PROGRESS Shortly before the end of term, Year 11 students received an
indication of their 'Present Performance' in each subject. This is useful
information in the run-up to the Y11 mock exams that take place in the
fortnight commencing on Monday 21 January. On Wednesday evening this week a
large group of Y11 students and their parents attended a presentation on
'Preparing for Exams' at which ideas and advice were given. Copies of the
handout are available from Mrs Collard. Further advice will be given by subject
teachers and tutors and a full Revision Booklet will be issued at the end of
February.
ACADEMIC REVIEW DAY All students will have a short
interview with their tutor on Friday 1 March 2002. Parents are invited to
attend this and further details will be available soon. There will be no
lessons that day and students are only expected to come to school (in uniform)
for their interview. Otherwise, students will not be in school. For Year 13
students, the interview will be with students only.

CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS If anyone
has any unwanted lights or Christmas decorations the school would be very
grateful to receive them in preparation for next year. Any article can be left
in the main school office.
YEAR 8 EVENING Next Thursday, 17
January, parents of Y8 students are invited to meet subject teachers between
5.30pm and 8pm. A letter has already been sent home about this and students
should now be making appointments for their parents with their subject
teachers. Meetings take place in and around the Hall and information about
where to go is provided. Mrs Thea Abbot, a Development Worker for Norfolk's
Childcare Partnership, will be available during the evening. We hope to raise
sufficient interest in After School Clubs in order that funding can be secured
to provide extra activity and supervision.
STUDY SUPPORT CENTRE
On Monday, literature regarding additional support in Mathematics and
English from this commercial organisation will be distributed. Replies need to
be received by Thursday 17 January. |
