    • Book of Puzzles

      Published 15/07/25

      Children in Primary were delighted to receive a Summer gift this week from the CCS Puzzle Club: ‘Oh My Gosh – It’s The Creative Book Of CCS Puzzles!’. 

      This lunchtime club for years 5 and 6 created wordsearches and crosswords with themes ranging from planets, to authors, and from Mario, to cheesecake flavours.  Ellis said this was “a great thing to do to pass the time” and the team decided to turn their work into an illustrated book, choosing 43 puzzles from 17 different creators.  Isti said the book was made to “inspire people into creativity’, while Leo’s enthusiastic introduction describes it as great ‘for traffic jams and holidays’.  

      Well done to everyone who contributed - especially Alex, Ellis, Jess, Leo, Sochima and Isti for their creativity, collaboration and perseverance to make this possible.  Here are our Year 4 learners enjoying the book.

    • 2025 Ofsted Report

      Published 20/06/25

      19 June 2025

      Dear Parents and Carers,

      We are very pleased to share the outcome of our most recent Ofsted inspection, which took place as part of a Section 8 (ungraded) inspection under the Education Act 2005. These inspections are designed to determine whether schools have continued to maintain the standards identified during their previous full inspection.

      We are delighted that the inspection confirmed we maintained our standing of Good overall, with our Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) remaining Outstanding. This is a wonderful reflection of the hard work, dedication and passion shown by our entire school community – staff, students, trustees, and of course, you – our supportive parents and carers. If you would like to read the full inspection, please find it below. 

      We are proud of this achievement and remain fully committed to providing the highest quality of education and care for all our children.

      Thank you, as always, for your continued support.

    • CCS STEM Soc Newsletter

      Published 21/05/25

      We are delighted to share with you the CCS STEM Society Newsletter, featuring a fantastic collection of research articles written by our very own students.

      Each member of the STEM Society chose a topic they were personally passionate about, allowing them to delve deeper into areas beyond the standard school curriculum. This independent exploration not only broadened their understanding but also provided valuable supercurricular experience — an excellent addition to their future university applications.

      We’re incredibly proud of the curiosity, dedication, and academic ambition our students have shown through this project, and we hope you enjoy reading their work as much as they enjoyed creating it.
