I am getting in touch with you to convey important information to you. This letter is sent to the parents and carers of all our students across all year groups.
Your child is at the heart of all the improvements we have been implementing. We understand that there have been instances where important information may not have reached the right person or, in some cases, may have been lost. This has resulted in delayed and unsatisfactory responses, which, in turn, may have strained our mutual relationship. The success and progress of all our students hold paramount importance to us, and we want to assure you that we have been seeking solutions and putting them into action.

We are looking forward to welcoming you back to Falmouth School on November 1st for our Year 11 parents’
evening. The event will take place at the Falmouth School site, will begin at 3:30pm and end at 6:00pm. We
realise that the five-minute appointments may appear short, however, this is necessary to ensure that
everyone can be met at some point during the evening. Should you need more time, then following this initial
appointment teachers will be happy to arrange follow-up communication by email or phone.

Dear parents and carers,
I would like to thank you for all your support during this exam season. As you are fully aware, our Year 11 students have commenced their week one of exams and I am pleased to say that they are settling into the rhythm of it very positively.
I sent you information regarding the exam season and the preparation in April. Our academic tutor programme worked really well over the last three weeks and students commented on how well they utilised their time on rehearsing additional skills & knowledge for the core subjects in their bespoke tutor groups.

Dear Parent(s) / Carer(s)
As you are aware, Falmouth School underwent an Ofsted inspection on 7 & 8 February 2023 and I am pleased to share with you the Ofsted outcomes.
I was appointed as Falmouth School’s Headteacher from 1 January 2023, and at the point of the Ofsted inspection I had served 25 school days in this role. You may ask if there is a good time for an Ofsted inspection and for Falmouth School, yes, this was a good time.
Throughout January I communicated with you regularly and I held ‘The Evening with Lenka Chanter’ on 25 January so that you could meet me and get to know me. Whilst I am fully aware of the direction Falmouth School needs to take, the Ofsted inspection outcome refines the direction further and confirms the level of improvements still required.

Dear Parents and Carers,
I am writing to update you on the recent events that have taken place at Falmouth School so that you are fully informed, can actively engage with us and support us.
World Book Day
Thank you to everyone who supported World Book Day on Friday 4 March.
The Junior Leadership Team raised an impressive £73.71 to support the reading resources building at Falmouth School. I commend their creative skills and their ability to produce so many complex delights. Thank you to everyone at home who supported our students to undertake this venture. It was great to see so many colleagues participate actively in this event whilst promoting the love for reading. I hope that my Mary Poppins costume keeps for next year as I hope that in 2024, all of us, as the Falmouth Family, will be able to build on this event further and create a range of exciting activities promoting creative writing, storytelling and celebrating the diverse literary genres for all of us to explore together.

We write further to our previous correspondence to update you on the progress of our contingency planning during the forthcoming strike action in schools.

We have had confirmation from NEU that members of the union intend to take formal industrial action by participating in a strike which will take place on 15th & 16th March 2023.
The strike action is in relation to a national dispute around teacher and school staff pay. I wanted to take this opportunity to further explain the dispute and to also outline the school’s plans during the strike.
