Our four student project groups recently presented their proposals for improving life and learning at CCS.  Highlights included imaginative wall art for the Learning Resources Centre, the introduction of volunteer wellbeing mentors and CCS Newsround; a new podcast created by students for students.

On Thursday 23 February, the Grand Union Teacher Training Partnership (GUTP) are holding a virtual open event between 5-7pm where you can find out more about their course and speak to the team! 

To register your attendance, please email your name and the subject you are interested in training to teach to Kate Martin at gutprecruitment@sponne.org.uk

It has been wonderful for our Learning Environment student group to directly see their hard work and collaboration come to life as changes and improvements were made over the summer months. Implementing the enhancements to the school will not only make for a better student environment but will also allow students to use the spaces in a more comfortable, encouraging setting.

Learners in both secondary and sixth form have highly regarded the recent improvements to their learning spaces. Here’s what they said:

And the winner is… social seating!

88% said corridor sofas were an improvement. Bench seats in the block atriums were also very highly valued, summarised by one year 8 student: “now I have lots of options to choose from”.

Daijah, leader for the Learning Environment student group, told us:

“The student leaders are so glad with the feedback from students and staff, and we hope our creative work has helped pave the way for future developments. We are excited to see what the new groups come up with.  We believe this work is very important as feeling comfortable and expressive in our environment helps encourage our attitude to learning in a positive light”.
