On Wednesday, our Year 5 classes came together to tackle a long neglected corner of our outdoor learning space, taking part in a collaborative litter picking session. One of the challenges for students was to see who could find the oldest piece of rubbish, to everyone's surprise, some of the rubbish had been there for over two decades! With the oldest item dated back to 2004. It was a wonderful opportunity for our students to demonstrate their care for the environment and to put their empathy and community values into action. Well done Year 5!

We would like to congratulate 5CS for achieving the highest attendance across Terms 1 and 2! The class was presented with certificates and Haribo treats during Monday's assembly in recognition of their excellent commitment. This achievement follows their success in Terms 5 and 6 of the previous academic year, highlighting their continued dedication. Well done to everyone in 5CS.

Last Friday, 44 of our Year 4–6 pupils performed alongside over 5,000 children from across the UK at this year's Young Voices Concert. Celebrating 30 years of Young Voices - the largest children's choir concerts in the world - the children delivered fantastic renditions of classic sing-along favourites and exciting music mash-ups. They were a credit to our school, performing brilliantly and behaving impeccably throughout the evening. Since the start of the academic year, our choir members have worked incredibly hard, attending weekly rehearsals to master lyrics and melodies. A huge well done to our amazing choir for their commitment, teamwork and enthusiasm And a very special thank you to our wonderful staff who accompanied and supported the children (and provided plenty of entertainment on the coach journeys!). With a late 10:30pm return, it was a long day for everyone, so thank you for making the experience so special for our pupils.

On Wednesday, we headed to Moulton College for the Northamptonshire Sport Take 8 basketball competition. A fantastic team of 5 boys and 5 girls from Years 5 & 6 represented CCS, competing against schools from across Northampton. The first game was a nail-biter, with CCS just missing out by 2 points. In the second group game, it was a tight game for the boys and the girls scored brilliantly helping secure an 8-point win for CCS! In the play-off game, the team battled hard but were beaten by the eventual winners, Boothville. The 3rd/4th place play-off went right down to the wire and was decided by a free-throw shoot-out, where Jude scored an amazing basket to win the game for CCS! A brilliant effort from everyone securing 3rd place overall. #TeamCCS #Basketball

A massive well done to our U15 Boys Football Team, who fought hard to earn a 2–1 victory against Kingsthorpe in the County Cup semi-final on Tuesday. CCS are now through to the County Cup Final! Player of the Match: J. Kelly Congratulations to the team and Mr Jones! A fantastic team effort!

On Tuesday, five fantastic Year 6 children proudly represented our school at a Boccia tournament! Working together as a team, they attacked and defended their positions using skill, strategy and super-precise aiming This unique sport really tested their teamwork and planning, and staying seated at all times definitely added an extra challenge when lining up the perfect shot! The children loved trying something new and we're so proud of how they represented our school. Well done, team!
