• Celebrating Easter at CC

  Wed 26 Mar 2025

  Easter is a wonderful time of the year for Christians.  It is a time to celebrate the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.  At CC, we will be sharing the story of Easter, through our Year 5 assembly.  The Faith Team will be interviewing our Chair of Governors - Reverend Toby Crowe - to find out more about Easter, and we'll be having an Easter Egg Raffle.

  Don't forget to get you tickets, at £1 each, from the office.

• International Mother Language Day

  Thu 13 Mar 2025

  Did you know that languages are essential to education and sustainable development, serving as the primary means through which knowledge is transferred and cultures are preserved?

   

  With approximately 8,324 languages in the world today, many are at risk of disappearing due to globalisation and societal changes.

   

  Ensuring that education systems support the right to learn in one's mother tongue is crucial for improving learning outcomes, as students who are taught in a language they fully understand show better comprehension, engagement and critical thinking skills.

   

  At Christ Church, we are proud of the fact that we have at least 15 different languages in our school, and to celebrate International Mother Language Day, we are sharing a video of different families, children, teachers and community leaders saying hello.  

   

  You can find the video under our curriculum tab > then, go to School of Sanctuary.

  

• Book in a Box

  Mon 03 Mar 2025

  At the beginning of an amazing bookish week at CC, we launch our annual book in a box competition, 2025.

  Each book in a box should clearly display:

  • Your name 

  • Your class

  • The title of the book

   

  This competition is open to children from Reception to Year 6.  

  There will be two winners from Reception, KS1 and KS2.

  The closing date for bringing in your book in a box is Monday 24th March.

  They will be judged by our Chair of Governors - Toby Crowe

   

  Prizes 

  A trip to Bear Books, a bookstore in Bearwood, with the HT, to buy a book of your choice.  Then, back to school for a bookish hot chocolate, marshmallows treat and a cheeky read.
