Head's Welcome

Dear Families, It has been another busy week here at Canbury and haven't we been incredibly lucky with the weather. It has been lovely to see our students making the most of the sunshine during their downtime and games sessions. There is something about a bit of blue sky that lifts everyone’s spirits! I was absolutely thrilled with the buzz and energy at Monday afternoon’s Careers Fair. It was a pleasure to see our students engaging so thoughtfully with our speakers. I am so pleased to share that the feedback from our guests was overwhelmingly positive; they were so impressed by our young people and the insightful, curious questions they asked. A massive thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success. This week also marked the official start of the public exam season, with our students completing their photography exam. As we move further into the exam period, I would like to ask for a small favour from the rest of the school community. Please keep an eye out for our "Exams in Progress" signs. When you see these, we ask that you move around the building quietly to ensure our Year 11 and 12s have the peaceful environment they need to do their very best. Wishing you all a lovely and restful weekend. Mrs Rich Head

What we've been up to

Canbury Careers Fair

One Monday afternoon we held our inaugural whole school Careers Fair. We had an amazing 19 stalls made up of a variety of wonderful volunteers, who donated their time in order to speak to students and parents about their professions and careers. The school had an amazing buzz as students visited the stalls, completed a bingo card and asked insightful questions to each person. Thank you so much to the staff, students and parents for supporting the event - and of course to those who gave up their time to come and host a stall.

Police Cadets

The Police Cadet Program gives Young People the opportunity to learn about policing while developing leadership, teamwork and community awareness. Through Training, volunteering and supporting local events, cadets gain valuable life skills and a better understanding of Policing . The programme helps build stronger connections between young people, the police and communities they serve. We offer the Duke Of Edinburgh Scheme for all levels and the different sections can be completed whilst volunteering with us. We offer this at low cost. Our Programme is run for children between the ages of 13-18. If you wish to join us please email the Volunteer Police Cadet Coordinator PC Mollie Boden Mollie.boden@met.police.uk
