13 September 201715 Dear Parents/Carers It gives me great pleasure to introduce myself as the new Headteacher of Ullswater Community College. It is truly a privilege to have been appointed by the school governors and entrusted with the job of leading a school that has such a fine reputation both within the local community and further afield. I will not be an unfamiliar name to many of you as I taught Physical Education and led the department for many I was Assistant Headteacher for school years in my ‘youth’; more latterly, performance and Deputy Headteacher for curriculum and staffing. In this year ahead I am determined that the school builds on the legacy it established under the leadership of Mr Pattinson and continues to flourish and maintain its position at the heart of the community. I am looking forward to working with the whole community as we strive for even greater success for all our young people. By working together we can ensure that all students enjoy their time at school, make excellent progress and leave us with the necessary skills and qualifications to lead successful and fulfilling lives. The recent summer results at both GCSE and GCE/Level 3 are a testament to our success in this aim with last year’s examination students. The start that has been made by our students in this new term has particularly impressed both myself and the staff at UCC. They arrived at the start of this term looking immaculate in their uniforms, determined to have a successful year ahead. The very diverse but close community known as UCC has the highest of ambitions for all our students and we will capture their enthusiasm and ambition and ensure that they receive the highest quality of teaching and support from what I believe is a highly committed and talented group of staff. Effective communication between yourselves and school is so important to help us continue to work in partnership to ensure that your sons and daughters are happy and confident in school and are making the progress that we all expect; form tutors and the pastoral team are the first point of contact at UCC in this respect. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this letter and thank you in advance for your support. I am determined to do the very best for UCC; I will always put students first when making decisions and I am excited and enthused in taking up this new post. I look forward to meeting you at various events during the coming terms, which include ‘settling in’ and parents evenings, along with prize day. Yours sincerely Nick Ellery Headteacher
