We are proud to share Cadet RCM Lisa Owen was awarded Lord Lieutenant's cadet at a special awards evening last week. This is a prestigious honour for any cadet and Lisa will be the CCF representative for the whole of the county. Lisa will accompany His Majesty's Lord Lieutenant on many official functions over the course of the next 12 months. She will have the chance to meet members of the Royal family, dignitaries from across the county and members from a variety of community groups. Only five cadets are chosen from the air force, army, CCF, Navy and St John's, from thousands of cadets. This is a real privilege but well deserved for Lisa. She will represent our school and CCF contingent with pride over the next year. Congratulations and well done, Lisa!

We were proud to take all of our Year 6 girls to the Spinney Hill Theatre on Tuesday, to watch 'Wonder Lab - For Girls Who Love Science' a show about women in science and how they have shaped the world today. The girls enjoyed learning about indicators and watched water change colour right before their eyes. They also learned about catalysts and static electricity. But their absolute favourite was watching rocket fuel come to life. The girls were left with the thought, 'There are so many females scientists out there. Are you one of them?' A special thank you to @northampton_school_for_girls for hosting this special event.

Alumni Spotlight: Josh Rayfield's Football Journey We're incredibly proud to share the success story of former CCS student Josh Rayfield, who has been making fantastic strides in his football career since leaving our school! After finishing his GCSEs at CCS, Josh was offered a two-year scholarship with Northampton Town Football Club. This opportunity saw him commit to full-time football training, study for a Sports Science Diploma, gain his football coaching badges, and even train alongside the Northampton Town first team. As his scholarship with NTFC neared completion, Josh's talent caught international attention. A scout from the USA College system approached him with an opportunity to continue both his education and football career in the USA. After receiving offers from four American colleges, Josh chose to join Eastern Florida State College, currently ranked 2nd in their division across the USA. At just 18 years old, Josh is one of only two British players on the team, playing alongside teammates from across the globe including Japan, Uganda, Germany, Brazil, and the USA. We couldn't be prouder of what Josh has achieved so far, and we can't wait to see where his football journey takes him next! #CCSAlumni

Last Wednesday, Dr Brammer took our Year 13 biologists to The Edward Jenner Museum. This exciting trip formed part of their extra curricular learning around the subject of vaccination and the importance of Edward Jenner, not only as the father of vaccination but as one of the most important scientists of all time. The trip was described by our students as engaging, inspiring, fascinating, and informative. It was clear that the visit left a lasting impression on them, sparking curiosity and deepening their understanding of biomedical science and vaccine research. They were especially grateful for the insightful lecture delivered by Professor Gareth Williams. His passion and clarity brought complex topics to life and encouraged our students to think critically about the role of science in global health. Many of them left feeling motivated to pursue further studies and careers in the field.

Last Friday, our secondary students enjoyed another fantastic Open Mic session during lunch! The atmosphere was buzzing with energy as students took to the stage to sing, play instruments, and share their talents with friends. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout and so many students supporting one another, creating a fun and encouraging space for everyone to enjoy.

Yesterday, our U16 Girls team put on an incredible performance, taking home a 4–0 win against Kingsthorpe College! Goal scorers: Casey R (2) Molly WJ (1) Kyla S (1) Managers Player: Maya P Players' Player of the Match: Kyla S Amazing teamwork! Well done, girls!

We're proud to announce Caroline Chisholm School has been awarded the prestigious Primary Science Quality Mark - PSQM! We're one of just 310 schools to receive this nationally recognised accreditation this month celebrating our commitment to developing excellence in science leadership, curriculum design, teaching, and learning. Led by the University of Hertfordshire, the PSQM has been inspiring young scientists for over a decade, helping schools like ours give children the best possible start in science education. With over 5,800 Quality Marks awarded, the programme has already impacted the learning of more than 1 million children nationwide! Helen Sizer, PSQM Director, shared: "By achieving the Primary Science Quality Mark, a school has shown commitment to raising the profile and quality of science education through the development of effective science leadership, visionary curriculum design and excellent teaching practice... all those involved should be incredibly proud of this achievement." A huge thank you to our incredible staff, students, and families for their enthusiasm and dedication to science. Together, we're inspiring curiosity and a lifelong love of learning. #PSQM #PrimaryScience #STEM #CarolineChisholmSchool #ScienceEducation
