    • Election of a New Chair of Governors

      date posted: Monday 14 Jul 2014

      At the Full Governing Body meeting on Tuesday July 8th Domenica Maxted was unanimously elected as the new Chair of Governors of Cardinal Newman Catholic School. Domenica has been a foundation governor since 2011 and before that she was Chair of Governors at Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Primary School in Rottingdean. A former pupil of the school she now has two children of her own at Cardinal Newman. As Headteacher I am delighted to have the opportunity to work with such an experienced and committed Chair.
       
      I would also like to take this opportunity to say a big thank you to Charles Wookey, the outgoing Chairman of Governors. Charles has been a foundation governor for the school since 2002. His commitment to the school and the personal and professional support he has provided to me (and my colleagues) has been immense.  He has been Chair of Governors during a challenging period but one which has seen the school record its best ever GCSE results and many other achievements.
       
      I am very grateful to all of our Governors. They are volunteers who undertake significant responsibilities and devote considerable time to their role. If you would like to learn more about our Governors and the role of the Governing Body please go to our website and you will find more details (including biographies of current Governors) under the About Us section.

    • Calling All Parents: Would You be Willing to Talk About Your Career to Year 10 Students?

      date posted: Friday 30 May 2014

      Careers education is a vitally important part of our curriculum, enabling students to make the right choices, raise their aspirations and set long term goals which motivate them to achieve more. We are currently reviewing how we educate our students about the world of work and would be interested to hear from any parents or carers who would be willing to talk about the job they do and the processes which led them to decide on their career path. Initially we are looking for parents and carers who could come in and talk to our Year 10 students during the week beginning July 7th, but we are planning for these talks to become a regular feature of careers education throughout the school year. If you would be willing to give a talk and/or participate in a question and answer session please contact inspire@cncs.co.uk, leaving your name and contact details.
