| PARENT GOVERNOR ELECTION Ballot papers for the election, together with information about the candidates and on the procedures for voting, were issued to students for parents last Tuesday afternoon, 20th April. Where there is more than one child in the school, the papers have been given to the youngest child. If a student has been away this week, the school office will aim to send ballot papers by post to arrive at parents' homes no later than Monday morning, 26th April. The election closes at 3.45 pm next Tuesday, 27th April. The votes will then be counted and the result posted in the Hall. YEAR 9 We are very pleased that so many parents attended both the meeting at which next year's courses were presented and yesterday evening's parent-teacher consultation meeting. The 'option choices' form must be returned to Form Tutors by afternoon registration next Monday, 26th April. Key Stage 3 tests in English, Mathematics and Science take place from Tuesday 4th May until Monday 10th May. All students in Year 9 will be taking these tests and detailed information will be given out next week. HOME-SCHOOL AGREEMENT A working group of students, parents, teachers and governors has been formed to draft a home-school agreement which will be in place at CNS (as in all other maintained schools) as from September. The first meeting of the group will take place on Thursday 29th April. The draft agreement will be discussed at the annual meeting of governors with parents on Thursday, 27th May. |
