Dear parents and carers,
As an all-through school, we will be celebrating Red Nose Day on 15th March 2024. Please see the attached letter on behalf of the House Team for further details on how students can participate in the non-uniform day and the cake sale.
Kind regards,
Autumn Wilson-Haywood

Children’s Mental Health Week 2024 focused on young people’s voices. CCS promoted this theme with assemblies, competitions and getting students involved in recording the below two videos to help raise awareness throughout the school. We are proud to share these and celebrate our young people’s performances. ‘Mental Health Stigma’ encourages people to talk about their feelings, while ‘Wellbeing Myth-buster’ separates the truths from the myths about mental health and bullying.
Last Friday, we announced the winners of our CCS 500 words competition. As part of our focus on writing for pleasure, we encouraged all students to enter the BBC 500 words competition and run our own parallel competition in school.
After reading over 100 entries, the judges had a very difficult time in selecting the eventual winners.
Many congratulations to Advik, Ailiyah, Ella, Eva, Gabriela, Harrison, Jack, Oliver, Rafay, Reggie, Rose, and Shreeya!
Please take a read of our winners' anthology below, showcasing all winning stories, from Year 1 - 6.
On Wednesday 6 December, our Academy Trust will be holding their Annual General Meeting (AGM), which all parents and carers are welcome to attend. The meeting will start at 7pm.
The new wellbeing area on our CCS website features content about wellbeing, mental health and the work we are doing to promote and develop this.
Check out our two videos where young people from years 4 to 13 talk about mental health and take you through our top five recommended online support resources.
