Children In Need Mufti Day
On Friday 13th November, the Academy will be supporting Children in Need by holding a ‘Childhood Hero’ themed mufti day. All
students need to do to take part is make a suggested donation of £1.00, or whatever you can afford.
Please note that although it is a mufti day clothing does need to be appropriate for college. We look forward to seeing all of your ideas!
Well Done Pipi!
We are extremely proud of one of our students, Pipi-Lotta Kulla, who bravely decided over the
half term to shave her head for charity.
She is donating her hair to the Little Princess Trust to make wigs and is raising money for them
also.
If you would like to donate, the academy and Pipi would be extremely grateful. Donations can
be made by following the link below where there are also more photographs and a video of
Pipi having her head shaved.
We have some incredibly caring students at our college and we are so privileged to be working
with them.
Please take your time to look at Pipi’s just giving page

Student Absence
If your child is unwell and unable to attend college please call the
absence line on 203101 each day of their absence before
8.30am. The Local Authority have advised that we also need
parents to send in a written reason for their child’s absence upon
their return to College. Thank you for your support with this.
Coat Hangers
Mrs Wiltshire has asked if you have any spare coat hangers at
home please could you get students to bring them in as she will
be using them for a crafty revision idea!
Food Technology
In Food Technology lessons when students are cooking, there
is an expectation that students bring in all of their ingredients for
that lesson. The recipe will be put on Show My Homework
along with a PDF of the method. If there is a problem please
contact Miss Bracegirdle.
Library Books
Could we please ask that you search at home, for any lurking
library books. We have a number of books which should be on
the library shelves, but which have disappeared, as well as a large
number of overdue books. As you can imagine, this is very
frustrating for children waiting to read them. If these could be
brought back as soon as possible that would be great.

Oasis Lunchtime Lego Club
Oasis would like to start a lunchtime Lego club but we only have a

send it in to reception. Many thanks from the Oasis team.

The Field of Remembrance Service– Carisbrooke Castle
th
On Thursday 5 November Army and RAF Cadets from Cowes Enterprise College attended a Field of Remembrance service held at
Carisbrooke Castle in the Princess Beatrice Garden. The event was held by the Lord Lieutenant of the Isle of Wight, Major General
Martin White. The service commemorates all uniformed personnel who lost their lives in service of their country.
A cadet representative laid a cross in the
garden on behalf of Cowes Enterprise
College and the CCF.
The Field of Remembrance is a place
where residents can pay their respect and
plant a cross for those who lost their lives
serving our country. It is located within
the Princess Beatrice Garden, a tranquil
walled garden behind the castles chapel.
Residents can visit on Saturday 7th &
Sunday 8th November during the castle’s
normal weekend opening hours.
Ski and Snowboarding Trip 2016
Following a very successful Ski and Snowboarding trip this year to Austria, we are running another trip to Erhwald, Austria during Easter
2016. Students will be participating in 6 days of either skiing or snowboarding lessons for 6 hours a day. At the end of this course they
are examined and receive a British Alpine Skiing or Snowboarding award. Many students use this practical assessment towards their
GCSE or AS/A2 Physical Education exams. During the evenings, students will be engaged in various activities such as quiz and games
nights, swimming, music night, bowling and an awards and cabaret night.
Numbers are limited and there are currently 4 places left.
If you are interested in your child coming along please contact Mrs Hughes by telephone on 203103 or by email to
[email protected].
Smoking Policy
Please see information below regarding our policy on smoking for your information:
Smoking is illegal on the academy site and the academy would be failing in its care for students who smoke and those who do not, if it
did not do all in its power to prevent students from smoking.
Academy rules apply to students not only at the academy, but also while they are on the way to and from home.

Academy staff will treat all of the following as smoking:

Being seen smoking
Standing in a group of people where one or more others are smoking

Having cigarettes or tobacco in their bags or clothing

Smelling strongly of smoke after a break or lunch period.
Students who are judged to have been involved in smoking will be dealt with as follows:
1st time:
Parents will be contacted and asked to ensure that an appointment is made with the health service to discuss giving up smoking. If necessary, it will be expected that students and their parents will discuss any treatment such as nicotine patches that might be needed.
Students will be required to do a one-hour detention after school.
2nd time:
Parents will be required to come to the academy before the student is allowed back into lessons or normal break and lunch times. A
contract will be agreed between student, parents and the academy. Two one-hour detentions will be required.
3rd time:
As above plus, because this becomes a serious, persistent breaking of academy rules, one-day of external exclusion.
4th time:
As above, plus five-days of external exclusion.
5th time:
Students and parents will be required to attend a governing body discipline panel who will consider permanent exclusion.
Cigarettes, tobacco, lighters etc. will be confiscated and not returned. E-cigarettes are treated as smoking.

decoration competition. All students in all years are invited to take part and all
decorations will be displayed on the Christmas tree that we will have in Reception.
So students are asked to get the creativity flowing and enter into the spirit of Christmas
and make something exciting.
Decorations can be made in any media, but must be a suitable size to hang on the tree.
There will be a prize and crew points for the best decoration in each year, and one for
the overall favourite. This year we would like to sell the decoration that have been
made at the Christmas Market on Friday11th December.
If your son or daughter would like to take part they simply need to collect an entry
form from Reception. All entries must be handed in by 12 noon on Friday 27th
