Following the decision to create four Schools within the College we are seeking to involve the whole College community in the important decision about what to call each School
We need names that will:
be meaningful and appropriate to Clyst Vale and our wider community
help to create a sense of pride and identity in each School
provide a link with some aspects of our curriculum
symbolise our aims as a College
reflect our wider interests in local, national and global issues
stay relevant in the long term
The plan is to consult with students, parents and staff and then reach a decision as follows:
Week beginning 8th May
Students, parents and staff invited to suggest names
22nd May
Deadline for suggestions
25th May
All suggestions considered by the College Council who will select the most suitable sets of names to go to a vote
Week beginning 28th May
Vote on these alternatives takes place in tutor groups and staff room
11th June to 20th June
Results of the vote go to the Senior Leadership Team, Heads of School and Governors for ratification
21st June
Decision announced
If you would like to suggest a set of names for the four Schools please email with your names and the reasons why you feel they would be appropriate.
Thank you for your patience regarding the decision to close the College today. The weather conditions deteriorated rapidly, and the full extent of travel difficulties and conditions on site only became clear as the situation developed.
We plan to be open as usual tomorrow; however, if there is any change, we will notify you promptly through the website, social media, and email. Our aim is to provide updates by 7:30 am wherever possible, but in some cases, decisions can only be made once we have a clearer understanding of travel conditions for staff and students.
