Following our fantastic ‘likely to meet standards’ outcome in our recent Ofsted pre-inspection, we are launching a brand-new Proprietor Body to help shape our next exciting chapter!
Because our students are the heart of everything we do, we want to make sure our parents and carers have a real voice at the table. We are looking for an enthusiastic Parent/Carer Representative and/or local community champion to join us!
What does the role involve? ✨ Attending just one friendly meeting per school term (about 1.5 to 2 hours). ✨ Sharing your unique insights, ideas, and perspective as a parent/carer or member of the local community. ✨ Helping us ensure our provision remains the best possible place for our young people.
Who are we looking for? You don’t need any formal board or education experience at all! We are simply looking for a current or recent parent, carer, or local community champion who understands the joys and challenges of raising young people. Your real-world experience is exactly what we need.
This is a wonderful, rewarding opportunity to make a genuine difference, collaborate with external partners, and help guide our provision forward. 🌟
Interested in joining the team? Drop us a direct message here, or email catherine@crispvocationalprovision.co.uk for a warm, informal chat about how you can get involved!
Join us as we celebrate the end of an incredible journey for our Year 11 students! 🌭🍔☀️
Year 11 students, their parents/guardians, professionals, and referrers are warmly invited to our Leavers BBQ, where we’ll come together to enjoy great food and celebrate the memories, achievements, and milestones of our Year 11 students during their time at Crisp.
Following the BBQ, we’ll be holding a special Awards ceremony to recognise and celebrate the achievements, contributions, and successes of our amazing Year 11 cohort. 🏆✨
We look forward to celebrating with you all and giving our Year 11s the send-off they deserve - the CVP way 🔵 ... See MoreSee Less
Last Friday and on Monday, some of our Art & Design students visited Splatt Printing in Nottingham with Holly for an exciting workshop.
As part of this term’s BTEC unit, students began by creating their own original designs on site before learning how to create them digitally. They then had the opportunity to print their artwork onto a t-shirt or hoodie of their choice.
Throughout the experience, students showed fantastic life skills by working in a professional printing environment, communicating confidently with new people and managing both their time & budgets effectively.
We were so impressed by the creativity and individuality of every design. Well done, we hope you enjoy wearing your amazing creations! 👕👩🎨🔵 ... See MoreSee Less
Did you know our students help prepare lunch every day? 🍽️ Did you know this also contributes towards their BTEC Level 1 qualification? And did you know they regularly bake delicious sweet treats for staff, students and parents? 😋
Students involved in catering gain valuable hands-on experience while working towards their qualification in a fun and engaging way. They also have the opportunity to work alongside our qualified nutritionist, Rachel, creating tasty meals, developing new skills and building confidence in the kitchen 👩🍳🍰
This week one student made an assortment of cookies for the whole provision! They were incredible 🍪🔵 ... See MoreSee Less
As we head into the final week of term, Amber, our Safeguarding and Attendance Lead, has launched another attendance challenge to keep the momentum going!
On average, around 20 students achieve 100% attendance each week, which is something to be really proud of. Excellent attendance not only supports learning, but also helps students build confidence, develop social skills and strengthen friendships. Regular attendance gives students the best opportunity to thrive both academically and socially.
Last time, 13 students achieved 100% attendance over two weeks — a fantastic achievement 👏 This time, we’re hoping to see even more students rise to the challenge! And of course… every student that achieves 100% will receive some chocolate 🍫🔵 ... See MoreSee Less
Our students have been making the most of the off-site opportunities, taking part in a wide range of activities including football, indoor rock climbing, boxing, walks and fishing. They also visit an outdoor centre in Leicester every week, where they get involved in a variety of exciting activities such as high ropes, archery, shooting and axe throwing.
With the sunshine making an appearance, students have loved getting outdoors ☀️ We can’t wait for the warmer months to see what else they get up to! 🔵 ... See MoreSee Less
We’re inviting all parents and carers to take part in our upcoming RSE/PSHE consultation.
Your views matter in shaping how we support our students’ wellbeing, relationships and health education. This is your opportunity to learn more about what is taught in provision and to share your thoughts before our policy is finalised ready for next academic year.
📅 Thursday 21st May, 14:30-15:30 📍 Crisp Vocational Provision. Unit 2, Bennerley Court, NG6 8UT
We look forward to working together to ensure our curriculum reflects the needs of our community.
Please confirm your attendance by emailing office@crispvocationalprovision.co.uk or call 0115 9794045 (Main Office).
Now that we’re a week into the final term of this academic year, we’d like to take the opportunity to reintroduce our Safeguarding Team and remind parents/carers of the support available.
The safety and wellbeing of our students is always our highest priority—whether that’s in provision, at home, in the community, or online. Our Safeguarding Team is available throughout the school day to offer guidance, support, and a listening ear whenever it’s needed.
We are also pleased to introduce Amber, our newly appointed Designated Safeguarding Lead (DSL). Amber has been part of our provision for the past 12 months and brings valuable prior experience from working within a college safeguarding team.
If you have any concerns about your child, please don’t hesitate to get in touch. You can contact Amber directly on 07427 854255, or email our safeguarding team at: safeguarding@crispvocationalprovision.co.uk , and a member of the team will respond as soon as possible.
Thank you for your continued support in helping us keep all of our students safe. ... See MoreSee Less
We hope you all had a relaxing and well-earned Easter break! We’re back, refreshed, and ready for the final term—but first, here’s a little look at what our students got up to before the holidays…
1/2/3/4. Andy hosted a fantastic chocolate-making workshop, where students discovered the journey from ingredients to finished chocolate! 5/6. It’s not Easter without an Easter egg hunt! 🍫 A huge thank you to our generous donors Link3 Recruitment, SAAF Education & TeacherActive for their kindness and support. Thanks to them, our students enjoyed an amazing Easter egg hunt, with plenty of chocolate treats for everyone! 🐣 7/8. Tash and Holly took a group to Nottingham Playhouse to see Punch!, a powerful real-life story exploring hope, humanity, and the potential for change. 9/10. There was also time spent enjoying the sunshine while getting stuck into construction work and completing maintenance work around provision ☀️ 11. Finally, students got stuck into an intense and very competitive game of dodgeball in tutor wars.
A fun, busy, and enjoyable term overall. It’s been great to have everyone back in full force this week, and we’re excited for what the final term of the year will bring! 🔵 ... See MoreSee Less
