My sincere thanks to everyone across the ELA for another hugely successful term. The spring term is always one that feels full to the brim with energy and activity across our schools, and this one has been no different. I hope you enjoy reading all the updates from our heads of school.
It was fantastic to see teams of Ofsted inspectors recognise the truly exceptional work that goes on across the ELA in not one, not two, but three of our providers this term! The Cambridge Maths School’s monitoring visit saw their provision judged to be within the highest possible category across all criteria, while both Impington Village College and Chesterton Community College were judged to be ‘Outstanding’ in all five areas of their provision.
It was excellent that inspectors recognised the world class nature of ELA provision across all those settings, and we look forward to continuing this work across all our schools in the summer term.
Best wishes for a peaceful break.
CEO of the Eastern Learning Alliance
Things to celebrate

Eureka Days
We were delighted to welcome students to this fantastic enrichment opportunity at the Centre for Mathematical Sciences at the University of Cambridge, encouraging positive attitudes towards mathematics. Year 9 Eureka Day was on Monday 13th January and Year 10 Eureka Day was on Tuesday 14th January. The Cambridge Maths School Physics teachers ran STEM sessions. We were joined by NRICH and AMSP, plus key-note speakers (Ben Sparkes for Y9 Day and James Grimes for Y10 Day). LMS provided a grant of £250 to contribute to the funding of these days.
Feedback from the attending schools:
- “Great introduction to A-level Maths in a university-style setting.”
- “Excellent, interesting activities/talks.”
- “After the NRICH talk, one student said she wanted to focus more on Maths and in Maths [lessons] and that she had come to the realisation that when she understood how to answer one question, it could lead to other answers. It was really great to see the teamwork in both the CMS and AMSP sessions.”
- “Students engaged very well with all activities. They found the activities interesting and challenging.”
- “Organisation was great. Activities were engaging.”
Lecture Series
Over the Autumn and Spring term, we have run lecture series for Year 12 and Year 13s, looking at different applications of Mathematics. These lectures have been hosted by St John’s College. In addition to our own students, we have extended the invitation to other post-16 providers in the Cambridge area for their students to attend. Our speakers have included:
- Professor Julia Gog: From maths to policy: a COVID-19 story
- Sir David Spiegelhalter: Living with probability, chance, luck and coincidence
- Dr Matthias Dörrzapf: What is Risk? Risk Pricing and Risk Diversification
- Professor Enrico Pajer: A timeless history of time!
Personal Development
This term, our Personal Development program has been packed with valuable experiences for our students. All year groups received life-saving CPR training from the Air Ambulance team, and we were privileged to host an inspiring assembly from We Are Donors, covering the laws around organ donation.
Year 13 students had a tailored tutor program focused on preparing for life beyond CMS, with sessions covering everything from student finance to the essential skill of loading a washing machine! Wellbeing has remained a key focus, with students encouraged to take positive breaks, including walks during our accelerate slots.
We also celebrated our first World Book Day, with students taking part in a book swap, sharing recommendations, and even dressing up as their favourite book characters. Additionally, International Women’s Day was marked with a series of activities, including lessons starting with a spotlight on influential women chosen by our staff.
Super curricular Maths
The next round of maths challenges happened early in this term, with 33 students qualifying for the Senior Kangaroo and 45% of them achieving a Merit. In addition to this, six students entered for the Mathematical Olympiad with two achieving a distinction and narrowly missing out on the final national competition to select a team for the international challenge.
Super curricular Science
- Biology: The DaffDNA project has started! Last year we received funding from the Royal Society to purchase specialist equipment to allow our students to participate in new genetics research, decoding the genetics of daffodils. The Year 13 Biologists have been practicing their pipetting ready for the project.
- Chem Olympiad Success: In Year 13, out of 6 students who choose to do the challenge, 5 achieved gold and 1 achieved silver. All student in Year 12 attempted the challenge with 2 students achieving gold (this is exceptional in year 12 as the challenge is aimed at year 13 students), 3 students got a silver award, 7 bronze and 4 participation.
- Physics: One of our Y13 students has recently competed in the 2nd Round of the British Physics Olympiad. This is an amazing achievement as only the top students in the country are invited to participate. We are very proud and excited to get the results!
- Senior Physics Challenge: All of our Y12 Physics students complete the Senior Physics Challenge ran by the British Physics Olympiad. The challenge gives students the opportunity to enhance their problem-solving skills and try out some interesting problems! We are patiently waiting on the results!
Super curricular Computer Science
We’re exceptionally proud of our prize-winning code-breakers – Erik, Timur, Rayyan, Louise and Samuel – who won the Hut 8 Prize of £1,000 in the National Cipher Challenge, organised by the University of Southampton. Our winning team collected their prize at a ceremony at Bletchley Park during the half-term holiday. The challenge involved decrypting a series of ciphers using a suite of programs they created.
We were also delighted to win the Inspire Award in the East of England qualifying round of the FIRST Tech robotics challenge. Our team, led by Louise, spent months designing and building our robot in our first year competing in this event, creating and presenting an engineering report which the judges were incredibly impressed by. Our team will now be going to the finals in June in the Olympic park but are first working on modifications to our robot to enable it to lift blocks into the higher baskets, thus scoring more points.
Duke of Edinburgh
We are delighted that 32 of our Year 12 students have enrolled on our Gold Duke of Edinburgh programme and are making excellent progress towards each of their physical, skill and volunteering sections. Our students are engaging in a huge range of enriching activities for this including pottery, crochet, learning languages, rock climbing, Taekwondo, and volunteering to support various education outreach initiatives. They also recently completed their training weekend in preparation for the expedition section of their Award. The expedition leaders were hugely impressed with the team spirit and resilience displayed by all our students. We are looking forward to the expeditions in the Lake District and Snowdonia later this year.
Theatre trip
A group of our Year 12 and 13 students recently took the train to London to see the hit musical Six. The show, reimagining the six wives of Henry VIII as pop stars, delivered an electrifying performance that captivated everyone.
Students were amazed by the powerful singing, dynamic performances, and engaging storytelling. The blend of history and modern music made for an unforgettable experience. The trip was a great cultural outing, giving students the chance to experience live theatre in a renowned venue. Overall, it was a fantastic success, and we look forward to more theatre trips in the future!
Careers
Almost all of our students are applying through UCAS to study undergraduate degrees at UK Universities. All of them hold at least one offer. The most popular courses applied to are Mathematics, Computer Science, Engineering, Natural Sciences and Physics, and our students between them hold many offers on some of the most competitive courses including at Cambridge, Imperial College, Warwick, Bath, Durham and UCL.
Our Year 13 students recently participated in mock interviews with local employers, gaining valuable experience and interview skills. Employers were highly impressed with the students’ professionalism, confidence, and ability to articulate their aspirations. They provided constructive feedback, helping students refine their interview techniques. Students found the experience insightful, learning key skills such as clear communication, body language, and self-presentation. The feedback has boosted their confidence and prepared them for future opportunities.
A huge thank you to the local employers for their support in bridging the gap between education and employment. Well done to all our students!
Impington Village College
This term has been another busy one and has brought many highlights! Top of the list was our graded Ofsted inspection back in February, in which Impington was graded outstanding in all areas. We were delighted with the glowing feedback from the inspectors, which really captured our unique vision for education and the positive impact this is having on our students, academically and personally. We were so proud of our students, who shone throughout the inspection, showed huge pride in their work and the College, and for the mature and articulate ways they spoke about each other’s needs and differences with respect. You can read the report in full here.
Our IIC students have also had reason to celebrate this term, with a superb range of prestigious destinations secured through this year’s round of university applications. Almost 10% of our IB Diploma cohort have secured Oxbridge offers this year, across subjects as diverse as Medicine, Human Social & Political Sciences, Chemistry, Psychology and Geography. Across the Diploma Programme, we have 16 girls holding STEM offers from a range of prestigious universities; a reflection of the strength of Maths and Sciences across the IBDP, and two students holding offers for Medicine. Over 40% of students across both the IB Diploma and Career-Related Programmes obtained Russell Group offers, and within our Performance School and Sports Scholarships, a range of exciting destinations! This year, four of our football scholars are holding US scholarships, and for the first time, we have three students holding rugby scholarships in the US too! We are delighted with the range of offers achieved by the students, a reflection of their hard work, the bespoke support the students receive and the high regard with which both IB programmes are held across the world.
This has also been an incredibly successful term for our Performance School, who have been busy performing at professional venues across the region. A definite highlight was their adaptation of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, which was performed to a packed house at the Cambridge Junction back in February, with students performing all of the music, running the lighting and sound, and supporting backstage. More recently, our IB Dance students were selected to perform in the U Dance regional platform at DanceEast in Ipswich. The students took their piece ‘You, Me and the Rest of the World’, choreographed by Amy Holly, and had an amazing day rehearsing, participating in workshops and performing the piece as part of the main event.
Our younger students have also showcased their work at our Dance Show, our Spring Music concert, and then our Young Actors’ Group ‘The Impington Collective’, performed their version of Whispers in the Graveyard, in which they produced the set, led all technical aspects of the production, as well as performing their work. Watch this space for details of next term’s events, and the launch of our 2025/6 musical!
As always, our students and staff have been globetrotting this term, as well as enjoying trips closer to home. Following the very popular ski trip over Christmas, this term our pupils have been to India, to visit our partner school SKSN in Jodhpur. The pupils learned all about the school and Indian culture in their iCAS (Impington, Creativity, Activity and Service) sessions in the autumn, as well as fundraising for the school. They spent time working and teaching in the school and issuing donations of wash bags and toiletries to the students. As well as this, they had the chance to visit Delhi, travel on an overnight sleeper train, ride camels and make roti! Closer to home, trips have run to a wide range of destinations, from the V & A, the Tate Modern, Clip n Climb, Cambridge University Press & Assessment, and numerous theatre trips. Our scientists have also enjoyed trips to GCSE Science Live, the Top of the Bench Royal Chemistry Society competition and to Cambridge University’s Science Festival.
Chesterton Community College
We are thrilled to share some wonderful highlights and achievements from our school community this term.
Ofsted
We are delighted that Ofsted has once again recognised Chesterton’s provision to be ‘Outstanding’ in all areas, including the sixth form which has not previously been inspected. You can read the full report here.
Some highlights include: “Pupils thrive in this warm and inclusive school… behaviour is impeccable…the school has an extremely high level of ambition for all pupils… pupils achieve exceptionally well… academic learning is enriched by a myriad of opportunities to embrace new interests… sixth formers secure offers from and places at some of the country’s most prestigious universities.”
Well done to all staff and students for ensuring inspectors got an insight into how fantastic Chesterton is every day!
Duke of Edinburgh Award
Over 130 Year 9 students have enthusiastically signed up to complete the Bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award. This is a fantastic opportunity for our students to develop new skills, engage in physical activities, and contribute to their communities.
School Carol Concert
The School Carol Concert, held in the beautiful surroundings of St John’s Chapel, was a resounding success. A wide range of musical groups contributed to the concert, showcasing the incredible talent within our school.
PTFA Winter Fair
The PTFA, now rebranded to include ‘Friends’, hosted a winter fair where over 50 students ran stalls to raise money. It was a heartwarming event that brought our community together and supported our school.
Iftar Celebration
Almost 50 members of the school community attended an iftar event where they learnt about fasting during Ramadan from students in Years 8-10. It was a meaningful evening of learning and sharing.
Maths Feast Competition
On Tuesday 11th March, two teams of four Chesterton students participated in the Maths Feast competition at Linton Village College. The event involved various rounds, including puzzles, relays, and strategic games. Our students demonstrated resilience and creativity, finishing in the top third among over 20 teams from schools across Cambridgeshire. We are incredibly proud of their enthusiastic participation and efforts.
Michael Rosen’s Visit
We were honoured to host Michael Rosen, who conducted a poetry workshop with the entire Year 8 cohort on the theme of the experience of refugees. He also held a mini-workshop with the junior choir and worked with Year 10 drama students on their adaptation of George Orwell’s 1984. Approximately 30 students were involved in our production of 1984, which was performed across two nights.
World Book Day
Our World Book Day celebrations were a huge success, featuring fun tutor-time activities, great costumes, and a treasure hunt. It was a delightful day that fostered a love for reading among our students.
Attendance and House Points
Attendance continues to be a strength, with our school ranked 1st out of 35 local schools. This places us in the top 0-10% of schools nationally. We have awarded 27,698 house points to date, with Hill leading the competition on 5914 points. A special congratulations to Khai in Year 8, our first gold award recipient this year!
Multifaith Celebration
The Year 7 and 8 community came together at the Multifaith celebration at St. Mary’s Church. This important event allowed us to share and reflect on the diverse set of beliefs within our community through readings, talks, and singing.
Exciting Trips Abroad
This term saw some exciting trips abroad, including a Year 11, 12, and 13 Philosophy and Classics trip to Athens and a German trip to Berlin. These experiences provided our students with valuable cultural and educational insights.
Maths Challenge Success
Sixteen students advanced to the next round of the Maths Challenge event from the Intermediate Maths Challenge held earlier in the term. This is an outstanding achievement of mathematical excellence.
School Ski Trip
The school ski trip was a great success, with 76 students heading to the Alps in Austria for the week before Christmas. It was a memorable experience filled with fun and learning.
Year 10 Careers Carousel
Year 10 students participated in a careers carousel, meeting various employers and exploring different career paths. This event was instrumental in helping our students consider their future career options.
We are incredibly proud of all these achievements and look forward to celebrating more successes in the future. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making these events and accomplishments possible.
Witchford Village College
Since the last newsletter we have had a very exciting end of term where we show cased our Christmas concert which highlighted the immense talent we have across all year groups in the Arts. Often when the KS4 bands move on we wonder if the next generation will be as interested, but each year we seem to have more and more who are better and better – a tribute to the Arts Provision at WVC! The last week of term also saw the GCSE certificates evening; it always astounds me the number of students who want to come in person and update us on their progress. The vast majority of students last year went on the 6th Form Colleges, with around 30% off to Regional Colleges and the remaining few in apprenticeships and employment. It does feel that the tide has turned post-covid at WVC with many more students having the confidence to follow academic vocational courses in Cambridge.
The term has seen a real fizz to lessons including seeing famous scientist roll play in science; learning about describing people in French; analysis of poetry in English; drum beats in Music; lyrics as stimuli in Drama; Boxercise in PE; different Gods in RE; Food Poverty in Geography; and much more. It has also been exciting hear about their tweaks and changes to lessons – the new Industrial Revolution enquiry in History and the Year 7 scheme in Science.
We celebrated careers across the year groups this term through our work on National Apprenticeship week with a large number of students out looking at the different providers and opportunities – it often amazes us the variety on offer; when you think of apprenticeships you rarely think of Specsavers or a Solicitors! We also had CRC visiting us for a vocational taster morning alongside talks from Chesterton, CWA and Long Road bringing to life the many subjects that simply don’t exist at secondary school such as Economics, Law, Architecture, Hair and Beauty, or Uniformed Protective Services. We also held our Year 11 Mock Interview Day’s where a large number of local businesses gave their time to help our students prepare for their college interviews. It is for them the first time where they must compete for course places, and of course all those competing have the same grades so it is what you can say about yourself that really makes the difference. We will of course have had some students who gave excellent interviews, but the real difference is made to those who are less confident and are building up their ability to present themselves as a well as we know they are – it is here the biggest difference can be seen. A huge thank you to all those involved.
We also of course had work experience week where after feedback from previous years, students in year 10 have been building up to work experience week by sourcing their own places. Although there is more legwork involved this way compared to choosing from a list, the week itself was hugely successful, and I am of no doubt that this is because students have been able to source really personal places for them. Having spoken to several students, the anxiousness of the first day or two has flourished into children talking enthusiastically about what they are up to with some even asking if they can just stay and not come back to school!
It was a great term too for our amazing student council who amongst other achievements have planted over 100 trees in the College grounds for future generations. They have also raised over £1500 pounds for various charitable causes, which is amazing!
We are also celebrating our inclusivity this term. The importance of education, be it in school or through life, is immeasurably important; knowledge after all is what makes the powerful, powerful. There should be no barriers to anyone accessing and succeeding in our curriculum. There must be equity no matter background or circumstance. No matter your background, you are a Witchford student first. At our heart is our mission to uphold the rights of those with protected characteristics, supporting those as they navigate their own journey of learning who they are. Our broad curriculum celebrates the diversity of people and ideas which influenced subject areas over time; our Character Curriculum equally focusing on areas not seen on the timetable; promoting values of acceptance, collaboration, and inclusivity. We are ‘Warm Demanders’. We have high expectations, but every day is a new day; a new opportunity to be successful at school. Think about areas such as unconscious bias, race, misogyny, disability, or gender to give just a taste – we are also proud to be a Trauma Informed UK School with 25% of our staff qualified to diploma level. We are delighted to be promoting our initiative ‘Witchford Words’ – a vision of kindness and inclusivity – into our communities, adorning community spaces with our vision of inclusivity. And we are proud to wrap all of this up in our Rainbow Flag application.
The Cavendish School
Hilltop Residential
Our pupils embarked on an exciting and adventurous residential trip to Hilltop, where they took part in a variety of thrilling activities, including high ropes, caving, and cycling. It was an incredible experience that challenged them physically and mentally, while also fostering a strong sense of teamwork and resilience.
Maths Café
This term, we hosted a Maths Café, where parents had the opportunity to engage with their children’s mathematical journey. The café allowed for meaningful conversations about the curriculum, and each class proudly showcased their maths work through creative and informative display boards.
Astro Pi
Year 5 and 6 pupils were thrilled to welcome a special visitor who helped them create coding to send messages to space. The session sparked curiosity and excitement about coding and technology, providing a fun and engaging way for our students to explore the fascinating world of space communication.
Author Visit
As part of our World Book Day celebrations, we were lucky to have author Mark Grist visit the school. He worked with our students to enhance their poetry writing skills, inspiring them with his passion for words and creativity. The visit left a lasting impact on our budding poets.
Football
In a thrilling match against a local school, our football team showcased their skill and teamwork, emerging victorious. It was an exciting moment of triumph for our students, and a wonderful display of the spirit and determination that defines our school community.
Vista Academy Littleport
This term, we have seen a further increase in the number of students representing the school in sporting fixtures, engaging in school trips and entering competitions. As we work together as a team at Vista, our hope is that our students will continue to strive to be innovative in their approach and seek opportunities to be ambitious. We have seen this in abundance this term as students have engaged with a variety of external visitors. We have welcomed in Anglia Ruskin University who have been working with groups of Year 9 and 10 students to develop their debating and writing skills.
This term we have welcomed a variety of external visitors to deliver assemblies and workshops especially during national careers week. These assemblies and our ever-growing links with local organisations offer our students insight into various professions. Despite being a small school, we continue to seek to offer a good range of extra-curricular clubs, enrichment activities and trips. The number of participants has increased throughout the term and our students have enjoyed trips to Cambridge, Barbraham Institute, Cambridge University, Hills Road Sixth Form, Ely Cathedral, NHS Expo in Peterborough, Anglia Ruskin University and more.
Year 9 & 10 – Anglia Ruskin University
The students who participated in the Anglia Ruskin University ‘Amplify Your Talent’ workshops at school were highly engaged. Ciaran, the university facilitator, spoke about the energy and true spirit of “play” that the Year 10 students brought to their focus on Shakespeare, in preparation for their GCSE studies later this year. He also expressed his admiration for the Year 9 students, who stood up and shared their debate ideas with each other, commenting on the originality of their contributions.
The students spent a day visiting Anglia Ruskin University, where they enjoyed a mock courtroom taster session. This session exposed them to how oracy skills can be used in context in their future careers, alongside a behind-the-scenes tour of university life.
Science Fair Visit for Ambassadors
Vista’s STEMM Ambassadors visited Little Thetford Primary School’s Science Fair as part of the Youth STEMM Award. They went around each stand, chatting with the students and assessing their scientific knowledge. Each presentation was scored on the use of scientific principles, such as including a hypothesis, control variable, and conclusion, as well as on research and presentation.
The final winners will be announced at the school awards assembly. However, the STEMM ambassadors presented each participant with a rosette and congratulated them on their outstanding efforts!
NHS Health and Care Careers Expo in Peterborough
Our Year 10 Health and Social Care students visited the Health and Care Careers Expo in Peterborough.
The Careers Expo showcased a variety of roles, careers, and opportunities available within health and social care in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough.
Students had the opportunity to:
- Speak to staff working in these roles and hear about their work
- Take part in interactive activities
- Understand the different career routes into health and care
- Talk to universities about options, subjects, and entry criteria
It was an informative and enlightening event, giving students a clearer idea of what is available in this sector and the roles they are most interested in.
School Science Day
On Thursday, 6th March a small group of Year 10 students were invited to attend School Science Day at the Babraham Institute, hosted in conjunction with our sponsors at the Youth STEMM Award.
After recovering from the shock of the sheer size of the Research Campus, the students were invited behind the scenes into their immunology labs.
Students were tasked with freeze-drying mouse cells, then staining and dying them to prepare slides for the electron microscope, which they were able to use at the end of the tour. To top off this experience, the students were given a talk by research scientist Zahra Jawad, the CEO and founder of Creasallis. Zahra started the company in 2021 after having a sudden realization about how to improve the penetration of antibodies into cancer tumors.
The students conducted themselves impeccably, and the scientists guiding them through the practical lab experiments were impressed by how much they knew.
Downham Market Academy
Year 7 & 8 Theatre trip
On Thursday 30th January, 50 Year 7 & 8 students travelled to London to see an outstanding performance, by The Royal Shakespeare Company, of A Midsummer Night’s Dream at The Barbican. We all thoroughly enjoyed seeing Shakespeare’s work brought to life and laughter rippled across the stalls.
Our students were commended by a retired headteacher, who was sat two rows behind us, for their behaviour throughout.
Athena Musicians
Athena’s Year 12 metal band Seraph played a fantastic gig to a packed audience at the Rose and Crown on Wednesday evening! Congratulations to Alex, Jack, Dom, Oli and Henry for a brilliant performance.
Keep an eye out for all their future gigs!
Disney trip
From 19th-22nd January, 40 math’s enthusiasts from Year 9 and 10 ventured to Disneyland Paris for the chance to enjoy the rides, eat some Mickey-shaped foods and take part in a mathematics seminar. The students stayed at a cowboy themed hotel, only a short walk away from the parks and the Disney Village, where students were able to buy some souvenirs. The mathematics seminar was very informative, and students learned about how the rides work, the financial system of Disneyland and used various apps to calculate the speed and g-force of different rides. The students behaved exceptionally and were a real credit to the school. Everybody involved had lots of fun and Mr. Penny, Mr. Martin, Miss Ford and Miss Walpole would like to say a big thank you to you all.
Jet Blue Skies
Our Year 8s involved with the JET Blue Skies programme have been exceptionally busy since our return from the Christmas holidays. This started with our first external visit with the organisation which was a trip to RAF Marham, we had a full tour of the site where we learnt about the history of RAF Marham and the strong links that the RAF have to our area. It was fascinating to hear the stories of Tornado’s being able to take off from inside their hangers and what the pilots might have been thinking and feeling knowing that this might be their final flight.
I think everyone will agree that one of the highpoints was flying the F35 simulator, which was both thrilling and disorientating, the ultimate VR experience. Some managed to stay aloft, and cruise over the Wash others made outstandingly stylish crash landings. It was really enjoyable to watch the students work together during the teamwork tasks they completed as the last task of the day. All of the students showed grit, resilience and determination when moving through the lava with their stepping stones, and a high degree of focus and communications skills when passing multiple balls around their group.
We also had an in-school session where the students had to work as a group to build Air Pressure rockets. Again, it has been brilliant to see the students working so hard together to achieve a shared goal. The aim was to produce a rocket that would reach the furthest distance.
The students also received their JET Blue Skies sweatshirts and Polo shirts during this session which they will be wearing for all future events.
Movement Mile for Mental Health
On Friday morning, DMA completed a Movement Mile for Mental Health. Students completed three laps of the school field to get some fresh air and have a chat with friends, all whilst doing some exercise. Students and staff enjoyed the sunshine before the start of the day and it was lovely to see so many involved.
Hospitality & Catering
On Thursday 27th Feb, 21 DMA Hospitality and Catering students travelled to the Novus Restaurant at CWA where they completed a vocational work experience event. The students completed 3 tasks whilst they were at the college until almost 9pm.
- a workshop finding out about real H+C opportunities and experiences in the local area and career opportunities open to them in the future.
- Setting up the front of house restaurant ready for the guests and completing service of a three course meal to their guests.
- Preparing, cooking and plating up a three-course meal for nearly 50 guests.
Career education and real-life experience is a fantastic way of helping these students to investigate potential future careers and opportunities and these experiences would not have been possible in the classroom at DMA. The students thoroughly enjoyed the day, except maybe the delightful blue hairnets! Everyone was very well behaved and had the opportunity to work in a commercial kitchen alongside college students and a professional chef. This helped them realise catering is not so glamorous as they may have thought but seeing the guests enjoying their dishes and leaving full and happy made the hot, hard work worthwhile.
Rotary Technology Tournament
The highly anticipated results are in from the Rotary Technology Tournament held before half term. The students were tasked with creating a device which could launch a space capsule (small plastic ball) as far as possible into space (the hall), but with a few specific restrictions. The capsule had to go at least 3m high, and up in as straight as line as possible through a hoop, with additional marks being awarded for capsules that landed as close as possible to the launch site. To make it even more of a challenge the capsule had to be launched by a trigger from 1m away. Additionally, the ks4 students had to include a parachute to allow the capsule to return in a controlled manner.
The 17 teams of young people involved did a fantastic job, they all produced prototypes which launched their capsules and in the end the competition was incredibly tight. Congratulations to Iceni who took home the trophy, but we are very proud that two of our teams came away with medals for 2nd place in both the ks3 and ks4 competitions. Overall, the day promoted a love of STEM, teamwork, problem solving and most importantly everyone involved had fun – and no lasting injuries from the flying space capsules whizzing across the hall!
Thank you to Iceni, Terrington and the Rotary Club for the fantastic opportunity. We look forward to next year’s competition and getting the trophy back.
World Book Day
DMA celebrated World Book Day in style this year with students and staff dressing as their favourite characters from literature. The winner of the KS3 competition was Natasha Martin and for the KS4 competition Hetty Davey. Both will be receiving a book of their choice.
2025 saw the return of The Masked Reader to registration. It challenged our students to test their literary knowledge and uncover the true identity of each reader. Congratulations to Mr. Webb’s 9.11 form group with the top score. They will receive their prize on Monday.
Many students enjoyed the opportunity to ‘drop down and read’ during their lessons on Thursday. Classes were given 15 minutes to enjoy a book of their choice each lesson or share an extract from one of this year’s Booker Prize shortlist. This was an excellent opportunity to try something different and gain appreciation for the wealth of literature that is available.
A big thank you to all students and staff involved. Now to start planning costumes for next year!
Girton Glebe Primary School
It has been another busy and very successful term at Girton Glebe! We have had trips to the Sedgwick Museum, trips to the Zoology Museum as well as chicks hatching in school.
One of the things we are most proud of is our successful PYP Consultancy Visit led by our IB Consultant, Maggie. Earlier this half term, our IB consultant joined us in school for two consecutive days, where she gathered information to help her assess us against the PYP’s Standards. This happened about halfway through our candidacy period and allows Maggie to assess how we are progressing with the development of the PYP. As part of this, Maggie met with senior members of the trust, staff, pupils, governors and parents to find out what hard work has been put into developing the PYP at Girton. She spent time observing a range of lessons, where the children were busy with their inquiries. It was great to see the children talk so confidently about their inquiries and what they were researching and finding out. It was a really positive visit and we are really happy with her initial feedback!
Recently, we have also had a week celebrating World Book Day. The children took part in an array of activities – from reading buddies, author visits and reading around the campfire, to dressing-up fun for both students and staff – it’s always so wonderful to be able to celebrate the magic of books! We were lucky enough to be joined by local author Gillian McClure. Gillian McClure has written stories such as ‘Selkie’, ‘Mouse in the House’ and the ‘Dog on Wheels’ selection. She spent time with each class reading stories and delivering a writing workshop. This was a fantastic session and the children thoroughly enjoyed gaining insight into how characters and stories are developed and written.
Another highlight was taking our choir to sing at The O2! On Wednesday 5th February our amazing choir joined over 8,000 children from around the country to put on a fantastic concert for our friends and family at the O2. It was a wonderful opportunity for our young children to sing as part of a large group and perform at such a stunning venue. So many famous people took to the stage to perform their talents, such as: Tommy Blaize (lead singer of the BBC Strictly Come Dancing Band); Urban Striders Street Dancers; Souparnika Nair; and MC Grammar. We sang a variety of songs including a Bob Marley Medley, Try Everything from Zootopia and an amazing Pop Medley. The whole event was truly inspiring and something that the children will remember in years to come.
Science Week was another hit! We were very fortunate to have so many parents volunteer to come in and host workshops with our children. All of these parents come from a science background. Workshops included jobs in aerospace and how engineers design products, jobs in agricultural research and how climate can change food security and how we are adapting to that and a STEM activity on helicopters.
Working Together
Girton Glebe Primary School
This term, we have continued to work closely with staff from IVC. The support and guidance we get from Jo Sale is invaluable. It was lovely to have both Jo and Victoria Hearn join us for our IB Consultancy Visit and for them to share with Maggie how the trust is supporting the development of the PYP at Girton. Jo has really helped us to develop a comprehensive PYP Programme and continues to work closely with Jo Pyle to ensure all PYP documentation is in place ready for authorisation.
Furthermore, we have a range of IVC staff who come in and deliver high-quality lessons across KS2. It is lovely to have this support and expertise in school for our teachers. Not only that, it really helps to develop and strengthen the links between the two schools, particularly when so many of our children feed into IVC. We must, also, say thank you to these IVC staff who are taking part in the PYP workshop.
Earlier this term, it was lovely to have some IVC students join us for a week of work experience. During this time, the students supported teachers and children in class by reading to the children, helping them with their work and finding out what teachers do to prepare for their lessons. All of the students were a fantastic support in class and enjoyed their time here.

UK Maths Trust Results
Out of 70 total entries, our students achieved an incredible set of results, with 6 earning Gold awards, 12 receiving Silver, and 18 securing Bronze. These outstanding accomplishments reflect the dedication and hard work of our students in this challenging competition. The school has once again demonstrated outstanding talent and determination in the latest competition, with students achieving remarkable results across the board. With a strong showing of Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards, the dedication and hard work of every participant shone through.
Among these impressive achievements, two exceptional students stood out, securing their place in the next round of the competition. This is an incredible accomplishment, as only a select few achieve this distinction. Their success is a testament to their perseverance, skill, and commitment to excellence. The entire school community is immensely proud of all the participants who showcased their abilities and represented our school with pride. The students who achieved Gold, Silver, and Bronze awards should be commended for their outstanding efforts, as each award reflects the dedication and passion they brought to the competition. A special congratulations to our two advancing competitors – their journey continues, and we will be cheering them on as they take on the next challenge. The whole school wishes them the best of luck as they strive for even greater success!
Well done to all involved – this is a moment of great pride for our school, and we look forward to celebrating even more achievements in the future!
Athena Sixth form
On 27th February, our Sixth Form students attended the Oxbridge Conference at Chesterton Sixth Form, an inspiring event designed to support students interested in applying to Oxford or Cambridge. The programme featured a keynote lecture by Professor Stephen Baxter on the Domesday Book, as well as admissions talk by Professor David Bainbridge, providing valuable insights into the application process. Students had the opportunity to speak with alumni and recent graduates. The event was an excellent opportunity for our students to explore their academic ambitions and take steps towards their future university applications.
Revision Cafes
During this term DMA have been running revision cafes for our Year 11 students and their parents. Initially targeting Core subjects and then covering Option subjects these sessions have been focusing on supporting the parents in helping their child with revision. Showing them (or reminding them) of different methods of revision that could be used in preparation for the GCSE exams that are fast approaching. Tea, coffee and biscuits have been provided to give the hardworking parents and students the brain energy to tackle the skills being covered. These sessions will continue to run throughout the year.
JET Blue Skies does Bushcraft
Friday the 7th March saw the year 8 students in JET Blue Skies take part in their second external trip as part of the programme. The group visited Inside Out Bushcraft, this fantastic organisation is only 10 minutes up the A10. We knew that we were going to be spending the whole day outside and were praying for a dry day and were very lucky. We could not have asked for better weather!
The day started with a short tour around the site and then we got straight on with the day with a Capture the flag exercise. Jenson M gave his group victory in both games, the second time with a tactic that surprised the staff members at Inside Out, he hid behind a tree and then jumped out to capture the flag when the opposite team were distracted. There was also some great defensive work in Jenson’s team. I saw Henry H run off a number of potential flag grabbers. Florrie T was the intelligence gatherer for her team calling out where she could see the members of opposing team moving towards the flag.
The next activity was learning how to build a fire, we learnt that silver birch is the best wood to use as it has chemicals in it that make it easily flammable. The groups had to work together to find the right size twigs to start the fire and then keep their fire alive. Billy S helped support his group in building up and keeping their fire going. Later in the day he also helped the other group with their fire. Once both of the fires were well established students then prepared a cone s’more which we left inside a pot hanging over each fire. Whilst waiting for them to cool, the next step was to prepare our afternoon meal which was an upside down pizza. Darcy V needs to be thanked by everyone for her hard work and effort in grating a significant amount of cheese for everyone’s pizza. She might not want to look at another block of cheese in her life.
During the short break between finishing our food and then starting the next activity the group took advantage of being outside to have a few rounds of manhunt. The final days activities were learning how to use a sling shot and throwing of a spear, also the challenge of a Barefoot line course. The course had only just been set up and they said that DMA would be setting the bar for finishing time. I think other groups are going to be hard pushed to beat the times we set. Darcy V was fastest with 1 min 40 seconds. But it was not all about time, everyone pushed themselves and went out of their comfort zone completing this challenging course. Alexis was overjoyed to have managed to complete the challenge with a big beaming smile on her face.
It was an awesome day, and I was so proud of all the students for really getting involved and throwing themselves into every challenge. The staff complimented everyone on their have a go attitude and commented on how polite every student was.
Sustainable Fashion
This term DMA has been doing its part for sustainable fashion. We conducted a Bags 2 School collection of unwanted clothes. This brilliant organisation works with schools nationally and helps keep unwanted clothes out of landfill and being repurposed, with a financial benefit to the school. They pay the school per kilogramme for the clothes, this money will then be used to benefit the students.
The Cavendish School
This term, a group of Year 10 and 11 pupils had the exciting opportunity to attend a Careers Fair at IVC, where they explored a wide range of career options and gained valuable insights from professionals in various fields. The event was a fantastic chance for our students to engage with experts, ask questions, and start thinking about their future career paths. It was an inspiring and eye-opening experience, helping them to broaden their horizons and make informed decisions about their futures.
Impington Village College
We continue to benefit from being part of ELA in a myriad of ways, and expanding our trips offer has been part of this. Our students, and Dr Robertson, thoroughly enjoyed their joint trip to Berlin back in February, which ran in collaboration with Chesterton Community College. It was a fantastic chance for both groups of pupils to spend time together experiencing German culture and practising their language skills!
Our students have also had the chance to take part in a variety of outreach events run by Cambridge Maths School, including the Maths Circles enrichment programme, and year 12 mentoring, as well as the highly popular EUREKA days, run in collaboration with Cambridge University.
As part of our IB cluster, we have been working especially closely with Girton Glebe this term supporting with their work towards the Primary Years Programme authorisation. This ongoing work, led primarily by Jo Sale, has involved collaborative CPD, preparing policies and running parent workshops, and continuing to provide specialist teachers for French through KS2.
Chesterton Community College
Gold Duke of Edinburgh Expedition Training
We are currently preparing for four students in the Sixth Form to embark on their Gold Duke of Edinburgh expedition training. This exciting endeavour is taking place in collaboration with Impington Village College and the Cambridge Maths School.
Exam Software Implementation
Chesterton staff have been working with the DMA exams team to implement new software that will help streamline the running of both internal and external exams. This initiative aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of our examination processes.
Revision Resources Sharing
The Chesterton revision newsletters and ‘how to revise’ lessons have been shared with other Trust schools. This collaborative effort ensures that all students within the Trust have access to valuable revision resources and strategies.
PSHE Resource Development
We continue to work with the Trust to develop and enhance our PSHE (Personal, Social, Health and Economic) education resources. This ongoing collaboration aims to provide comprehensive and engaging PSHE lessons that support the well-being and personal development of all students.
Cambridge Maths School
Year 8 mentor scheme
Students at Cambridge Maths School have been taking part in the Maths Mentorship: Bridging Gaps, Building Futures project, which connects enthusiastic Year 8 students with dedicated Year 12 mentors to strengthen mathematical confidence and skills.
Throughout the past months, mentees have engaged in two half-day Inspiration Events filled with enrichment activities and regular mentoring sessions, both online and in person. This ongoing initiative continues to inspire students to develop their mathematical abilities and stay on the path to excellence through to GCSE and beyond.
Maths Circles
CMS continues to work with Axiom to support Maths Circles across our region. Jack Rudin has been visiting schools to see the impressive work that they are doing supporting students in KS3. Jack has visited 14 Schools this term and in every case the feedback from students is how much they enjoy the circles, mostly because they find the questions more challenging than their maths lesson and they enjoy the opportunity to experiment and try out their ideas. We are currently working with 24 schools delivering maths circles and with more prospective schools for next year.

L2 FM support
On Monday afternoons, Cambridge Maths School have been running online masterclass sessions for Year 11 students who are working towards achieving a grade 7 to 9 at GCSE Maths and are potentially considering taking Maths at A Level. The sessions are designed to build students’ confidence to take a Level 2 Further Mathematics qualification, and to support students with their revision of challenging GCSE topics and their transition to A Level.
The key aims are:
- Build confidence with key skills and topics, including quadratics, surds, coordinate geometry, circle theorems and trigonometry.
- Consider different strategies for answering exam style questions, including developing problem solving and reasoning.
- Enjoy challenging Maths.
Currently 270 Year 11 students (from 46 schools across East of England) have registered to join the mailing list. Weekly attendance continues to be up to 100 students; note that students do not need to attend all sessions; they sign up for individual sessions.
Some feedback from participants:
- “Very useful to recap my previous learning and be taught it in a new way to be sure I have understood the content.”
- “I love being able to get an insight to what college further maths and maths A level will be like.”
- “I found it useful to recap on trig identities – I really struggle with those! The step-by-step process through exam questions and explanation – it makes it obvious where I’ve made mistakes.”
Vista Academy Littleport
This term has seen several Trust reviews focusing on key areas such as inclusion, core subject deep dives, character education, personal development and health and safety. The reviews are conducted by colleagues from across the Eastern Learning Alliance who offer further expertise and act as a supportive critique to aid further development. The reviews serve as a great opportunity for quality assurance whilst helping our staff team at Vista reflect on areas of improvement. The reviews have captured the significant successes and fantastic work that is ongoing and offered insightful feedback to guide next steps.
An integral part of our high-quality assessment and feedback process is to ensure that the marking of student work is accurate, thorough, and developmental for students to respond to. The process of moderating KS4 mock exams and coursework with colleagues across the ELA Trust once again provides improved confidence, subject specific knowledge and support to our staff to ensure that the outcomes reported are accurate. In a small school such as Vista, departments can sometimes include only one member of staff and this process enables our staff to feel part of a wider team and ensure our students receive the highest quality feedback through collaboration in creating feedback tasks with those staff elsewhere.
Witchford Village College
We have been managing some significant and somewhat urgent renovation projects at WVC this term with issues uncovered that we are keen to resolve to provide the best learning environment we can for our students. At WVC we cannot praise enough the Central Trust support team for stepping up and going above and beyond to support WVC. It really does feel like the whole Trust descended on WVC to help us beyond what could be achieved as a standalone school. Their professionalism, dedication and care for WVC is something we feel would be rarely matched for other schools outside of ELA and we are extremely grateful.
The Trust also provides us with a collaborative method for creating exceptional resources. The work completed with colleagues across the Trust in our shared Character Curriculum has had exceptional results at WVC with hugely positive staff and student surveys. And of course, we have benefited from all ELA audits where our successes have been celebrated, and guidance given as we continue our journey if improvement.
Looking Ahead
Downham Market Academy
Next term will be starting with a bang for our year 11s starting Language speaking, Art and Drama practical exams. Their written GCSE exams beginning soon after we return after Easter also. We wish all of our Year 11s best of luck, and through all of their hard work and preparation they have been doing in the build up to these exam we know they will acquit themselves well.
Apart from the GCSE exams we have many other events taking place in the Summer term, there will be the Outdoor Maths Challenge, Bronze & Silver DofE Expeditions. The KS3 Geography Trip to the Lake District. Year 8 History Gressenhall Trip. A trip to Harry Potter Studios. The performance of the School Musical for this Year. And we will finish the year with a whole school Enrichment Week.
Girton Glebe Primary School
In the Summer Term, we are really looking forward to the return of our Year 6 weeklong residential to France. During this week, Year 6 will dive into the French culture as they eat French food, visit historical French towns and are encouraged to speak the French language whilst they order from a bakery. They are also going to visit a goat farm and chocolate factory.
This year, for the first time, our Year 6 children will be taking part in the PYP Exhibition. During this, they will demonstrate their understanding of an issue or opportunity they have chosen to explore. They undertake their investigation both individually and with their peers, together with the guidance of their teacher. Through the exhibition, students demonstrate their ability to take responsibility for their learning—and their capacity to take action—as they are actively engaged in planning, presenting and assessing learning.
Parents and the community can continue to get involved by sharing their knowledge and expertise through whole school assemblies and individual class workshops. We always welcome parent helpers, who come in to read with children as well as support in class.
Vista Academy Littleport
As we look forward to the summer term at Vista Academy Littleport, there are many exciting events and opportunities for everyone to get involved in and make the most of this exciting time of year.
Our Year 10 students will be embarking on their work experience journey, gaining valuable insights into various professions and developing essential skills for their future careers. This is a fantastic opportunity for them to explore their interests and build confidence in a real-world setting. We can’t wait to hear all about their adventures and perhaps even learn a thing or two from their newfound expertise.
The newly formed Parent-Teacher-Friends Association (PTFA) is thrilled to host our Summer Fayre on Saturday 12th July 12-4pm; featuring live music, stalls, and surprises! This event promises to be a fun-filled day for the whole family, and we encourage everyone to come along, enjoy the festivities, run a stall and support our school community. Our PTFA would love for more volunteers to get involved in organising events, raising funds, and giving back to your local community.

The summer term is always a busy one, with both IB and GCSE exams dominating the calendar for May and most of June, and then of course the Sixth Form May Ball and Prom- which our staff and students are most excited for! Our IB Middle Years Programme students are looking forward to a range of interdisciplinary units which take place in the summer term, including the unit across English and History, where our year 7 students will be learning about witchcraft and Shakespearean villains, and then writing their own soliloquies in iambic pentameter, before performing them to each other on the lawn in our Interdisciplinary Unit Week!
We are also hoping to be able to share next term our progress towards the Carnegie Gold Mental Health Award, which we are working towards our third reaccreditation for. Our senior team have been busy reflecting on the last three years since we last earned the award, and considering how the College has continued to develop its mental health provision and pastoral care, and how this work has been shared with other schools. Watch this space for an update!
The summer term is jam-packed with trips and visits, from Japan and Botswana, to the Ardeche and three different language exchanges! We also have almost 250 students completing their Bronze Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, having been dedicated to their skill, physical and service sections of the Award already this year. We can’t wait to see how they get on!

Cambridge Maths School
Kenya
Plans for our trip to Kenya are well underway! Students are excited about the prospect of exploring the vibrant landscapes, helping in the school, going on safari and experiencing a new culture. Discussions of what the school will be like and what school supplies we can bring to help the school children have begun and students have been creative with their ideas.
Our students have also started to think of fundraising ideas, and we are encouraging everyone to get involved with the fundraising effort. All of the money we raise will go towards projects run by the Nakuru Children’s Project. The charity work in a number of schools around Nakuru consulting with their teachers on what the children need. Many of their projects include building new classrooms, providing playground facilities and running midday meal schemes.
Students are currently brainstorming ideas and over the next few weeks hope to put some of their plans to action. Please look out for more information for how you can support.
If you know a company or business interested in supporting our fundraising efforts, please reach out to Ms. McEwen or any of the students on the school council. Every contribution is much appreciated.
Over the next few weeks students will start to get their travel vaccines, apply for visas and start to think about packing lists. It is all getting very exciting!
Project Conference
Having kicked off our projects in January, our students are now excitedly researching into their chosen fields, getting ready to present their findings at our Project Conference at the end of April. This promises to be another really engaging day, seeing all of the brilliant work our students (and their mentors) have been up to, from researching into the science behind flying objects, to considering why we can even trust scientists in the first place.
Year 10 GEM Summer School
The Girls Enjoy Maths (GEM) Summer School is a three-day course based at Cambridge Maths School in July 2025. We will unite 40 female year 10 students as they explore the wonderful world of the mathematical sciences, providing an opportunity to nurture resilience and confidence in their mathematical ability.
Over the course of the three days, students will explore exciting mathematical ideas, complete fun experiments, take an inspiring trip to the University of Cambridge, and listen to female speakers in the field. Activities will be designed to provide challenge and opportunities for collaboration.
Leavers Event
We are looking forward to celebrating our first leavers’ event on 23rd June! We have hired a space at the beautiful Parker’s Tavern, where students will enjoy an evening of delicious food, music, and personalised awards. In addition, we’re excited to mark their last day with a relaxed picnic and a friendly game of rounders.
