• New Office Administrator Appointed

  Tue 04 May 2021

  We are delighted to tell you that we have appointed Miss Megan Lumbard to replace Miss Cath Evans in the office Wednesday to Friday.  She will be starting at CCI on Wednesday 12th May and we are really looking forward to you all getting to know her.  She has lots of experience in a school office and we think she will be a great addition to our staff team.  This means we have a couple of weeks with just Mrs Orr or myself in the office Wednesday to Friday so please be patient with us!

• Y2 Transition

  Tue 04 May 2021

  This week Mr Jones and I have met with CCJ staff to discuss how we will make sure the Y2s have an effective transition to CCJ for Y3 whilst still following COVID guidelines.  Further details will follow but we think we have found ways for them to hopefully have a couple of visits in Term 6, with phone calls from staff to parents and a virtual tour/meeting with Mrs Osborne.

• School Snacks

• NSPCC PANTS rule assemblies

  Tue 04 May 2021

  The NSPCC PANTS rule teaches children not to touch others in any areas usually covered by underwear.

   

  The underpants rule reveals the impropriety of touching kids around their private parts. The rules on children's underpants explains about good touches and bad touches.  This week I have talked to the children about this during assembly to follow up what they have learnt in their classrooms.  You will have all received an email from me about this along with a parents’ guide should you wish to know more.  This will be revisited termly in classes and 3 times a year in assemblies.

• Final goodbye to Miss Evans

  Mon 26 Apr 2021

  The time has come for us to say a final goodbye to Miss Evans and I would like to publically thank her for her contributions to CCI. Every one of us will miss her and I know that many of you and your children will too. Miss Evans has a special quality – one where people warm to her instantly, want to talk to her and open up to her and this has made her a superb person to be at the ‘front of house’ at CCI for the last few years. Nothing is ever too much trouble for her and she always finds a way to help if she can, whilst also bringing the humour that we need to keep us all smiling. I am sure you will join me in wishing her all the very best at St. Stephen’s Infants and hoping that we see her again soon.  Cath – you are one in a million and it will be a real challenge to replace you at CCI. We are losing a colleague today but gaining a very good friend, thank you for everything.

• Warmer weather at CCI

  Mon 26 Apr 2021

  Please make sure your child wears sun cream to school on hotter days and that they bring a sun hat. They can also wear a long sleeved lightweight top if have particularly fair skin – any top will do, don’t worry about it being school colours.  Sandals are fine please just make sure that children can run around in these. If they have swimming and the cream you have will not withstand being washed off then feel free to send some in in their swimming bags. Children will have to reapply this themselves though as we cannot due to safeguarding guidance. Please name everything!!!
