Ambition Confidence Success
Caroline Chisholm is an oversubscribed, academically successful all-through school that strives to develop young people into ambitious, highly successful, happy and resilient young adults. We make learning enjoyable from reception year right up to the sixth form. We provide a challenging academic curriculum, coupled with a very supportive pastoral system that values the strengths and talents of the individual student.

As part of our HPL day on Friday, several of our food tech students had the delightful chance to invite their parents or friends to sample their impressive three-course meals celebrating diversity, featuring dishes from around the globe. Take a look at their impressive cooking skills!
High Performance Learning Day! On Friday, 12th July, our all-through school participated in a High Performance Learning Day. Students in secondary engaged in a variety of activities with their form tutors, all centred around the theme of diversity. From designing new house logos and their very own football kit to crafting personal statements in preparation for their post-16 options, the day was packed with creativity and forward-thinking. Students in primary had the exciting opportunity to taste test many new foods from different countries. A big thank you to the restaurants Ying Lung and Spice Kitchen for generously donating food for the primary children to try. It was fantastic to see them widen their minds and try new things! Primary students also participated in a "campfire" style singalong and book reading, which many thoroughly enjoyedperhaps you heard them at home! Students were challenged to think about others and what it would be like not to see or hear. Well done to everyone involved and a big thank you to all the extra staff and parents/carers for supporting!
On Monday and Tuesday, the performing arts department hosted a KS3 Showcase evening, featuring the KS3 Choir, Drama Club and Musical Theatre Club. Drama Club performed a very entertaining comedic version of 'Hamlet', choir performed a lovely selection of musical theatre and Disney songs and the Musical Theatre group performed songs from 'Mean Girls' and 'Bonnie and Clyde' as well as their Strictly Come Dancing medley. Congratulations to all involved!
House Team End of Year Reward Trip! Congratulations to the highest points achievers this year! To celebrate and reward their hard work, the top 15 students in each house were treated to a fun trip to Ten Pin Bowling at Sixfields! From strikes to spares, laughter to cheers, we had an absolute blast enjoying some friendly competition and team spirit. It was a day filled with fun, camaraderie, and well-deserved recognition. Keep up the fantastic work, and here's to many more successes in the future!
Last week, we took a large group of children from Year 1 to Year 6 to compete in five different disciplines, including the county finals for Year 3/4 athletics, Year 3/4 tennis, and KS2 archery. All of the children behaved exceptionally, demonstrating motivation to do their best, precision and accuracy in their sport, and heartwarming encouragement of each other from start to finish. To top it off: The archery team were awarded 2nd place in the county The athletics team came a close 4th place The tennis team came 6th place Amazing results, especially since there were hundreds of children from all across Northamptonshire competing! There were lots of smiling CCS faces and we are very proud of them all!

“Pupils are well supported for their next steps in education and training. Opportunities for extra-curricular activity are highly regarded. These include a wide range of sports, dance, drama and visual arts."
“Every teacher I have is incredibly passionate in the subject they teach. We engage with them, because they engage us. They want to be with us in the classroom.”
At Caroline Chisholm School we are very proud of our Alumni. Our students go on to achieve in a wide range of fields and often say that the work ethic, social skills and confidence they develop during their time with us has helped them in their careers.
We always enjoy hearing from our Alumni and If you recently finished with us in the last 5 years, we'd love to hear how you're getting on!
