On Monday and Tuesday, the performing arts department hosted a KS3 Showcase evening, featuring the KS3 Choir, Drama Club and Musical Theatre Club. Drama Club performed a very entertaining comedic version of 'Hamlet', choir performed a lovely selection of musical theatre and Disney songs and the Musical Theatre group performed songs from 'Mean Girls' and 'Bonnie and Clyde' as well as their Strictly Come Dancing medley. Congratulations to all involved!

House Team End of Year Reward Trip! Congratulations to the highest points achievers this year! To celebrate and reward their hard work, the top 15 students in each house were treated to a fun trip to Ten Pin Bowling at Sixfields! From strikes to spares, laughter to cheers, we had an absolute blast enjoying some friendly competition and team spirit. It was a day filled with fun, camaraderie, and well-deserved recognition. Keep up the fantastic work, and here's to many more successes in the future!

Last week, we took a large group of children from Year 1 to Year 6 to compete in five different disciplines, including the county finals for Year 3/4 athletics, Year 3/4 tennis, and KS2 archery. All of the children behaved exceptionally, demonstrating motivation to do their best, precision and accuracy in their sport, and heartwarming encouragement of each other from start to finish. To top it off: The archery team were awarded 2nd place in the county The athletics team came a close 4th place The tennis team came 6th place Amazing results, especially since there were hundreds of children from all across Northamptonshire competing! There were lots of smiling CCS faces and we are very proud of them all!

Secondary Sports Day! Last week, our secondary students competed in a mix of traditional athletics events, including a 400m race, long jump, relay races, and some other exciting activities such as an assault course, Soccer AM challenge, speed bounce, river crossing and netball shooting. Students showed fantastic examples of team building and working collaboratively in a bid to secure the most points for their house! We are pleased to share the results of the sports day events: Year 7 1st place – Sydney 2 2nd place – Brisbane 3 3rd place – Sydney 1 4th place – Perth 2 Year 8 1st place – Sydney 1 2nd place – Melbourne 1 3rd place – Brisbane 2 4th place - Melbourne 2 Year 9 1st place – Sydney 3 2nd place – Brisbane 3 3rd place – Melbourne 2 4th place – Melbourne 1 Year 10 1st place – Perth 1 2nd place – Melbourne 2 3rd place – Melbourne 1 4th place – Brisbane 1 Overall Results - Sydney 2nd - Brisbane 3rd - Melbourne 4th - Perth Huge congratulations to winners Sydney – well done to you all! We also want to extend a special thanks to Tesco for their generous donation of 200 oranges, which helped keep the students fuelled during the activities, special thanks to the CCS Friends for providing the refreshment station. We'd also like to thank Oriordan Bond for their support this year. Thank you to all the students, staff, Year 12 sports leaders, who helped make this day so wonderful. Your support and participation are what make events like this possible.

The first-ever CCS General Election, organised by our dedicated Social Science faculty, was a fantastic event! Students from years 6 to 12 had the unique opportunity to experience a 'real' election, complete with a polling booth to cast their votes. It was lovely to see our students so engaged and discussing something so important. A special shout-out to our year 12 volunteers, who did a stellar job as polling clerks and vote counters. The outcome from the student poll resulted in Labour being the winning party. Congratulations to all involved for making this event a memorable learning experience!

Our Year 6 students had a fantastic week away on their residential to the Isle of Wight. They lucked out with the weather and spent the hottest day of the week jumping and sliding into the lake during their Aqua Parks activity - the most popular activity of the week! The children have all said what an absolutely amazing time they had and wish they could go back. New skills were learned, fears were overcome, fun was had, and memories were made. The teachers were incredibly impressed with the way the children behaved and represented the school. A fab week was had by all! #Year6 #IsleOfWight

Last week, our Year 12 A Level Geography students embarked on their residential fieldwork trip to Dorset and struck some luck with the beautiful weather! The trip provided an excellent opportunity for students to develop the skills essential for completing their independent NEA (fieldwork coursework). They also had the chance to revise and revisit classroom-taught exam content on coastal processes, creating a fantastic blend of hands-on learning and stunning scenery.
