• Interfaith Week

  Wed 12 Nov 2025

  We have had an amazing interfaith week at CC, so far.  

   

  Each class from Reception to Y6 has visited a place of worship.  

   

  They have all focused on theme of Community - Together we Serve and are preparing to present to each other on Friday.  

   

  We also had a special guest for our Music and Faith Assembly.  

   

  Finally, the whole school went to visit our parish church - Christ Church to engage with an assembly led by Revd Toby.  

   

  KS2 are also entering this years' Interfaith Week poetry competition.  

  We are hoping for a winner (from our school) and the best entries will be displayed on our Corridor of Excellence.

   

  What a special week!

  A chance to develop respect for and an appreciation of different religions.

  Enjoy the pictures!

• Refugee and Asylum Seeker Shoebox Appeal

  Thu 06 Nov 2025

  As a School of Sanctuary, we want to support a winter shoebox appeal.

   

  We can help by filling a shoebox, rucksack or gift bag with items for a refugee or asylum seeker.

   

  Our boxes or bags will be for primary aged children from 4 to 11 years old.

  It can be for a boy, girl or all children.

   

  We will need your shoebox gifts by Monday 8th December.

   

  Thank you for your generosity, and have fun putting the boxes together as a family.

   

  What can you include:

  A "wow" item like a stuffed animal, smaller toys (such as cars, blocks, or puzzles),

  school supplies (like notebooks, crayons, and pencils),

  personal care items (such as a toothbrush and soap),

  and accessories (like socks, a hat, or gloves).

  

• Picture News Assembly - 05.11.25

  Tue 04 Nov 2025

  This week's story: An animal charity, called Redwings Horse Sanctuary, has asked the government to make fireworks quieter to help protect animals and people.

  
  Question: Should fireworks be changed so we protect animals and people at the same time?

   

  Take time to discuss this question at home.  

  Share your thoughts and opinions.

  Happy chatting!

  Today, we were able to handover our harvest contributions to the Sparkhill Food Bank.

  We just want to say a MASSIVE thank you to everyone who contributed.  The competition to be the winning house team has been fiercely fought by Faith, Hope, Charity and Patience.  The winning team will be announced on the 3rd November, in our first assembly after half-term.

   

  Again, we want to say thank you, thank you, thank you.  

  We give so that others have.

  Your generosity has been amazing; we collected over 500 items of food.

  Also, a HUGE thank you to the faith team for organising this.

  Do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.

  

• Picture News Assembly - 22.10.25

  Wed 22 Oct 2025

  This week's story:

  The UK government is planning to bring in digital identity cards, which people could keep on their smartphones or have as a physical card.

  
  The big question is: 

  Should everyone have an identity card?

  What do you think?

   

  Enjoy a discussion with your child/ren around this issue.
