Student Spotlight Celebration We are incredibly proud to celebrate three of our amazing primary children who have been recognised in our Student Spotlight for their outstanding achievements beyond the classroom! Sally shines on the football pitch as she and her SYL Blacks U11 Girls team triumphed at a highly competitive national ESF Tournament in Bognor Regis. After a dramatic final decided by penalties, the team were crowned champions and have now qualified for the prestigious Champion of Champions Tournament at St George's Park. Gabriella continues to excel in dance and musical theatre, demonstrating remarkable commitment as she trains across multiple disciplines. Her achievements include qualifying for the All England Regional Finals, representing Team England at the Dance World Cup for the third year running, and performing in several major theatre productions, most recently Shrek the Musical. Finley has impressed us all with his determination in running, earning his Junior parkrun Marathon Band by completing 21 junior park runs and achieving a fantastic new personal best time.

Best of luck to all our students! We're wishing every success to our Year 11s, who began their exams this week, and to our Year 13s and Year 6s, who start their exams and SATs from Monday. You've worked so hard stay positive, believe in yourselves, and do your best. We're all behind you! Last week also marked a huge milestone for our Year 11 and Year 13 Art & Photography students, as their exams concluded. The Art and Photography Department is bursting with pride following the successful completion of the External Exams. Well done!

Last Wednesday, a team of nine Year 5/6 boys represented us at a cricket competition. With no previous cricket experience, they showed fantastic determination and teamwork, finishing an impressive 7th. The boys grew in confidence throughout the day, making great progress in both bowling and batting during some very close games. Well done to all involved!

We'd like to say a big thank you to @northantsfire Northamptonshire Fire and Rescue Service, Blue Watch Mereway Fire Station, and Neal King from Prevention for visiting CCS yesterday and teaching our reception students all about the importance of fire safety and all the ways in which they can help. It was a fantastic sunny day, and the children learned so much with everyone's favourite part definitely being a turn on the water hose! Thank you for making it such a memorable and educational experience for our youngest learners. #FireSafety #CommunitySupport #NorthamptonshireFireAndRescue

On Thursday 23rd and Friday 24th April the Cadets had their "First Knight" trip to Yardley Chase which was an unforgettable adventure filled with teamwork, challenge, and plenty of excitement. From building bashas in bluebell woodland and camouflage exercises to night activities, field cooking, navigation, and paintball, our cadets showed outstanding resilience and spirit. Huge thanks to our senior cadets and dedicated staff for making it such a memorable experience. Read the full report by Lt.

A special thank you to Dale from @mygreatfirstjob who led a very insightful workshop today for our Year 12 students. The session focused on practical strategies for securing a work experience placement, including how to approach employers, build confidence, and stand out in applications. The students will now put these strategies into practice ahead of their work experience week at the end of June.
