    Sanctions for Uniform Infringements 

    Dear Parents/Carers, 

    We would like to make you aware that we have updated our sanction process relating to uniform infringements. Maintaining our uniform standards is essential, not only for the professional appearance of our students, but also for fostering a sense of unity and discipline within our school community. As such, it is imperative that all students comply with our uniform guidelines. Your cooperation in reinforcing the importance of adhering to our school's standards is greatly appreciated. I have attached a copy of our uniform policy, which is also on our website.  https://www.ccs.northants.sch.uk/information/uniform

    From Monday 26th February the following process will be actioned by all staff for uniform infringements: 

    First day or first incident: (Level 0) member of staff to log on Edulink, discuss with student and give an instruction to correct the infringement within a given time frame.  

    Second day or second incident: (Level 1) 'repeat level 0.’ Member of staff to discuss with student and repeat the instruction to correct the infringement within a given time frame. Log 1 negative point on Edulink. Tutor to send email to parent/carer. 

    Third day or third incident: (Level 2) 'disobeying a member of staff.’ Member of staff to discuss with student and repeat the instruction to correct the infringement within a given time frame. Log 30-minute detention, with the reason given in the comments box so parent/carer can see.  

    Persistent infringements: (Level 3) 'failure to improve behaviour'. Member of staff to discuss with student and repeat the instruction to correct the infringement within a given time frame. Log 1 hour detention, with the reason given in the comments box so parent/carer can see. Tutor to contact parent/carer. 

    Continued refusal to comply: (Level 4) 'Severe refusal to follow instructions.’ Member of staff to discuss with student, repeat the instruction to correct the infringement within a given time frame. Log Level 4 on Edulink and email the Performance Leader, who will contact the parent/carer. Level 4 carries a sanction of Internal Exclusion. 

    The above information will be shared with all students on or before Monday 26th February. 

    Please contact your child’s tutor in the first instance if you have any questions or require further clarification on our uniform policy or sanction process.  

    Kind Regards,  

    Miss Johnson, Mrs Fields, Miss Briggs, Ms Gee and Mrs Terry

  • Year 9 Parents' Evening

    Published 26/01/24, by Autumn Wilson-Haywood

    Friday 26 January 2024

    Dear parents and carers,

    Year 9 Parents’ Evening

    You are invited to our Year 9 Parents’ Evening which, following the success of these over the past couple of years, will be a virtual event on Thursday 8 February from 15:30 to 20:00.

    Bookings for our Year 9 Parents’ Evening will open via Edulink on Wednesday 31 January at 9am, where you can book a slot with your child’s subject teachers. The bookings system will close on Tuesday 6 February at 11:55pm.

    A reminder that our GCSE Guided Choices webpage is now live via the link below, where you will find a welcome presentation from Mr Colman and the full suite of KS4 subject videos for you to view ahead of Parents’ Evening.

    https://www.ccs.northants.sch.uk/gcse-guided-choices

    I also encourage you, if not already done so, to take a look at your child’s Census 1 reports via the ‘documents’ tab on Edulink, to allow you to plan your discussions with your child’s teachers.

    For both Humanities and Modern Foreign Languages, appointments will be offered as a ‘free choice’. This means that all of your child’s teachers within these faculties will display on the Edulink booking page, but we kindly ask that you only book one appointment for MFL and one for Humanities. Please refer to the separate communication below for further information.

    If you have not used Edulink before to book an appointment, we have listed some helpful guides below which explain the process:

    For parents who have not yet set up their Edulink One account, please contact:  ithelpdesk@ccs.northants.sch.uk for your log in details.

    Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any further queries.

    Kind regards,

    Lowri Briggs
    Performance Leader of Year 9

  • CCS Science Festival – Open to all students in Year 5-8

    CCS Science Festival – Open to all students in Year 5-8

     

    Dear parents and carers,

    We have the pleasure of inviting all learners from Year 5 to Year 8 to take part in our hugely successful ‘CCS Science Festival’ (previously known as 'Science Fair). This will be a fantastic opportunity for students to showcase their creative and innovative inventions and ideas through a Science, Technology, or Maths project of their choice. Students will work in small groups, up to a maximum of 4, and their masterpiece project will be entered in our CCS Science Festival competition. Entries will be judged by our trustees and science ambassadors from the region.

    Students will also be supported to gain an accredited Bronze Crest Award for their project, a scheme that inspires young people to think and behave like scientists and engineers. A Bronze project planning form can be collected from me in the Science Department Base (Upper D) for Year 7 and 8 students and from Miss Carter in Primary for Years 5 and 6. 

    The CCS Science Festival will take place during National Science Week on Tuesday 12 March from 4.30pm to 7pm. All parents, carers and families are invited to this event to enjoy the interactive experiments and displays produced by our talented students of CCS.

    To enter the competition, please ask your child to complete ‘an expression of interest form’, available via the link placed on your child’s year Teams page (Year 7-8), or by letting Miss Carter know (Year 5-6)

    We look forward to seeing their wonderful projects and we wish you the best of luck.

    Kind regards,

    James Gardiner
    Faculty Leader of Science
