Welcome, everyone, to the brand new CEP website!
CEP is looking forward to bringing the 2023/24 Programme to life this new
academic term, with a whole host of exciting events.
The summer has been a busy one, work on this very website alongside new
promotional material will allow schools, partners and interested members of the
community to see exactly what CEP is, what we do and most importantly, what’s
coming up.
We are also excited to be an associate member of HEAT, an evaluation
database that tracks our work with the most vulnerable and disadvantaged
students in the area. HEAT will help us towards one of key aims this year;
increasing fair access to enrichment activity and opportunities across
Cheltenham.
Last academic term saw the retirement of one of the founding architects of
CEP, Headteacher Dermot McNiffe of All Saints Academy. Dermot has left big
shoes to fill on our Leadership, but we are pleased to announce the appointment
of Alywn Richards, Executive Headteacher at Cleeve School and Helen Wood,
Headteacher at The High School Leckhampton have agreed to join the leadership
and bring their considerable expertise and enthusiasm to CEP. We are delighted
to welcome them.
On to the events!
We kick off this September with a brand new Changemakers adventure. With the
help of Dr Paul Vare of the University of Gloucestershire, Lets Go Net Zero,
and our partners at Cheltenham Borough Council and Cheltenham Festivals we
embark on a mission to make our schools and communities more sustainable for
the future. Based off the inspiring documentary “Film 2040”, which
highlights the best of what humanity is currently doing to create a sustainable
future, we set out to create “Cheltenham 2040” and challenge our
students to be the change they want to see in the world. We hope this will be
the biggest activity CEP has hosted to date!
This month’s Spill the Tea recording sessions will be about Adulting, and
the challenges of the future. We have Abi Foster from Elent coming to talk to
us.
Please stay tuned for more news about next month’s events and we look
forward to seeing you at our events this year!
