23/04/2008 - NUT Strike Action
You may have heard in the news that members of the National
Union of Teachers have voted in a recent ballot to take industrial action on
Thursday 24 April. A significant number of teachers at Chew Valley School are
members of the NUT and will be taking action.
It would be neither safe nor prudent to open the school to all
year groups for the duration of the strike action. The School Governors and the
Local Authority have agreed that the school will be open for examination Years
11, 12 and 13 on Thursday 24 April. The buses will run as normal for pupils in
these year groups. Unfortunately the school will be closed for pupils in
Years 7, 8, 9 and 10. We will, of course, be back to normal on Friday 25
April.
13/03/2008 - Tesco Computers for Schools
Chew
Valley School is once again collecting Tesco Computers For Schools vouchers. In
the past we have been well supported by pupils, parents, guardians and friends
of the school. Over the years we have exchanged our vouchers for Computers and
Digital Cameras.
This year the Tesco Computers for Schools 2008 promotion runs in Tesco stores
for 10 weeks between 3rd March and the 11th May.
One voucher is given for every £10 spent in Tesco stores and petrol filling
stations in a single transaction (excluding purchases from Concessions, Tobacco
Kiosk, prescription medicines, infant formulae or the sale of National Lottery
tickets and scratch cards). One voucher is given for every £5 spent in Tesco
Express stores (subject to the above exclusions). For every working phone your
school sends in, they will be given 30 vouchers, and 5 for a non-working phone.
For every empty inkjet cartridge you send in that can be recycled, you will be
given 10 Computers for Schools vouchers. For further information about the
scheme please visit the
Tesco
Computers for Schools website.
We have collection boxes in our Reception area, Library and
Mezzanine floor computer room for donations of vouchers. Finally we would like
to thank you once again for your continued support.
