Bottisham Village College - A 'Beacon
School'
The Warden has received the new that the
College had been granted Beacon Status with effect from 1st September
2000. Four secondary schools in Cambridgeshire were invited to apply
on the basis of their exam.results at Key Stage 3 and at GCSE. Ofsted
inspection reports were also taken into account.
Of the four schools, Bottisham and Linton
Village Colleges were successful.
Beacon Schools are defined by the Department for
Education and Employment as "among the best performing schools in
the country" and they are called upon to share their good
practice with other schools.
Being a Beacon School will bring additional
resources to the College to help to facilitate its work with other
schools. Pupils may notice a number of visitors next year; some may be
'shadowing' college staff as they work, others will be looking at
policies and resources: the anti - bullying policy has already been
singled out for such attention. Another area that will attract
attention is community education; Bottisham and Linton already
collaborate in this area, and the two colleges hope to work together
in promoting good practice to schools locally and nationally.
Pupils, Staff and Governors are very proud
that Bottisham Village College has been chosen for this important
accolade.
