    Year 2 and Year 4 Collaboration: Sharing Memoirs Our Year 2 and Year 4 classes came together for two special collaborative sessions to share the memoirs they had each written. It was a wonderful opportunity for the children to showcase their writing, celebrate their hard work, and learn from one another. Taking turns, the pupils read their memoirs practising their reading and speaking skills while building confidence in their delivery. It was heartwarming to see how attentively the children listened to each other, offering encouragement, and showing appreciation for the stories shared.

    Silent Disco Fun! Yesterday, our Year 7 students had a brilliant time at their Silent Disco! The event was filled with lots of smiles, laughs and plenty of singing as students enjoyed this unique experience alongside their peers. It's always wonderful to see our students creating special memories together, and events like this not only bring so much joy but also help strengthen the fantastic sense of community we have here. A huge *thank you* to CCS Friends for providing the tuk shop, the Sixth Formers who volunteered to help, and to our House Team for their hard work and dedication in organising such a successful and enjoyable event.
