Last night, our Year 13 community came together for a special Iftar, thoughtfully organised by our Year 13 students. The evening was a wonderful opportunity to reflect, share food and celebrate the values of community, respect and togetherness. We are incredibly proud of our Year 13s for leading such a meaningful and inclusive event.

Our students have been busy developing their microscopy skills this week 🔬✨ They carefully prepared their onion cell slides by removing the thin layer of skin from between the onion’s layers and placing it on a slide using tweezers. After staining the sample with iodine to improve visibility, they added a cover slip and positioned it on the microscope stage for viewing. A fantastic hands‑on opportunity to explore cell structure up close and deepen their understanding of biology! FutureScientists

Streaming platforms have quickly become one of the most popular ways for children to watch TV and films. But behind the convenience of on-demand content are several risks that parents and educators should be aware of. From excessive screen time and binge watching to age-inappropriate material and algorithm-driven recommendations, our latest guide explores the realities of children’s streaming habits. It also provides practical advice to help families create safer viewing environments, including: ✔️ Setting up individual profiles and PINs ✔️ Managing screen time and autoplay ✔️ Talking to children about algorithms and stereotypes Download the free guide and help support safer streaming habits at home. https://vist.ly/4uh7n

🔬 Exploring Scientific Thinking This week in Science students have been further developing their analytical and investigative skills. During Year 7 and Year 8 science, pupils conducted a structured investigation into the aerodynamic efficiency of different paper aeroplane designs. Learners generated hypotheses, tested a variety of models and recorded flight performance data to evaluate how alterations in shape and structure influence stability, lift and drag. This inquiry encouraged students to apply principles of forces, motion and scientific method in an engaging and practical context. Students also participated in a supervised exploration of computer hardware, carefully dismantling Mr Vincent’s Xbox and a laptop to examine internal components. This activity supported their understanding of digital systems, circuit architecture and the relationship between hardware and computational processes. Both sessions provided valuable experiences in problem solving, critical thinking and evidence based explanation - key competencies at the heart of scientific learning.

🥋 British Schools Championships – Outstanding Performances 🥋 Our students delivered an excellent set of performances at the British Schools Championships this weekend, finishing second overall for adaptive judo in the country. We look forward to welcoming our champions back to school tomorrow. Our students showed real determination and resilience, securing victories across different stages of the competition. We are incredibly proud of all students for the commitment, courage and sportsmanship they demonstrated while representing the school. Thank you to all the CHS staff who helped prepare and support our students in the run up to this weekend and over the weekend. @britishjudo Resilience Determination TeamEffort

🚨 Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.

📚✨ World Book Day✨📚 Today our students and staff came together to celebrate World Book Day - a wonderful reminder of the magic that lives inside every book. From character costumes and shared stories to reading challenges and classroom activities, it has been a whole week filled with imagination, curiosity and joy. At our school, reading sits at the heart of everything we do. We believe that books open doors: to new worlds, new ideas and new possibilities. Seeing our community embrace that spirit today was truly inspiring. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and helped bring stories to life. Here’s to fostering a love of reading - today and every day! 📖💛
