• Pomphrey Hill MAD Olympiad

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  CSET have made the very difficult decision that they have to cancel the Y2 part of the MAD Olympiad this year due to numbers of cases rising again locally and the high numbers of children who attend in KS1.  We believe this is being postponed to T1 but it is unlikely the Y3s would then go as would have only just started at CCJ and it wouldn’t feel particularly sensible or safe to take children who are not yet established at the school or with the staff to such an open and unpredictable event.  Instead CSET will go to CCJ to do some in-house events for the children instead so they haven’t missed out.

• Goodbye to Reverend Jo Vickery

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  We had a special worship outside with Reverend Jo Vickery to say goodbye to him before he retires after 40 years as a vicar and 19 years at Christ Church in Downend.  The classes sat apart because we had plenty of space thanks to the glorious weather and it felt fairly momentous to talk to them as a whole school.  The behaviour of the children was absolutely stunning and I am so proud of the lasting impression they will have given Jo. Considering the field is usually a play space for them, then walked into their spaces wonderfully and sat and listened in such a calm way. Jo told the children that they are lucky to be at CCI but we are the lucky ones to have such incredible children. They have coped with so much in their lives and today coped with yet another change and different expectations and they stepped right up and did us proud. It was lovely to say goodbye to Jo in such a special way and we wish him and his family all the very best of luck.

• 5 fun-filled days

  Mon 14 Jun 2021

  We have 5 fun-filled days packed with activities including rugby, football, cricket and swimming plus our annual sports day on the field and the Year 2 MAD Olympiad to be held at Pomphrey Hill.

   

  At some point in Term 6 we will also be hosting a sponsored triathlon for all children to participate in to help raise funds for our playground development.  

   

  Lots of the sports coaches who are coming into school are generously giving up their time for free, but some we do have to pay for. We are therefore asking for a £5 donation per child towards the weeks’ activities payable via ParentPay.

   

  We hope you will support us in making this the best sports week yet and giving the children some much needed fun after such a restricted year of the children missing out on so many clubs and sporting experiences.
