The College will be inspected by Ofsted on Wednesday 1 and Thursday 2 February. The lead inspector will be Trevor Riddiough HMI. All students have been given a leaflet and a questionnaire for their parent/carer to complete and return to the College by 1pm on wednesday 1 February.

On Saturday 14 January four Catmose College students (Harvey Stafford, Rohan Mehra, Anni Jackson and Georgia Farr) attended the BETT show in Olympia, London. The BETT exhibition is a showcase of UK and international educational technology products, resources and best practice.

The Governing Body of CATMOSE PRIMARY has passed a resolution to pursue conversion to academy status.

The School, working closely with the College has made significant improvements in the twelve months since their Ofsted inspection; an external consultant recently rated the School as Good with Outstanding features.  The primary governors believe that the opportunities offered through academy status will allow further improvement, offering a better service to the children and increasing the opportunities for staff.

The partnership with Catmose College has had a significant impact on the quality of provision at Catmose Primary.  In particular:
* Kelly Jackson, Vice Principal has been able to focus on school improvement, introducing a 3I curriculum, a house system and setting arrangements; 
* the federation team has taken responsibility for site management,

Year 11 Progress Evening takes place tonight (10.1.12) from 5 – 7pm. If you wish to make appointments to see teaching staff and have not yet done so please contact Mrs Skinner at Client Services Reception.

The continued success of the College as an academy and our strong desire to enhance the service we offer our students and their parents means we are looking to expand and enhance our current team. We are looking to recruit exceptional people to join us, the details of these vacancies can be found here.  We are particulalry pleased to be offering two apprenticeships for young people looking for the first steps in their career.
