				<title>Foundation Status </title>
				<link>http://www.elycollege.com/news/default.php</link>
				<description><![CDATA[<span class="redText">Foundation Status</span><BR>
The Governing Body of City of Ely Community College is considering a change of status to become a Foundation school in line with the Government’s plans for a reformed system of strong, autonomous schools and a modernised role for local authorities.  The decision to change status resides entirely with the Governing Body, though we will want to consult with all our stakeholders and seek their views.

				<description><![CDATA[<span class="redText">Examinations will still take place even if the college is closed</span><BR>
Students who have external exams, that is GCSE or BTEC or A-levels or Science module exams (NOT mocks or internal exams), exams will take place in school whatever the weather, even if the school is closed for normal lessons unless the school website specifically states otherwise.
Failure to attend exams because of the weather counts as an absence as far as the exam boards are concerned and students will not be awarded a grade/mark.
Students must ensure that they are dressed appropriately in case of a reduction in heating levels.]]></description>
