Weekly Message – Issue 3
Endeavour, Illustrious, Invincible and Warrior – this week we have celebrated the launch of our new House System! Staff and pupils have gathered with fellow house members and house leaders to hear the plans for the year ahead. The pupils have a coloured badge to wear on their blazer to indicate their house membership and have had the opportunity to vote for a charity they would wish to support in the coming year. Staff have already participated in activities to earn points for their house and with a dodgeball event coming up soon for pupils and staff, the competition is well underway! Exciting times ahead.
Another significant event for us this week was our Open Evening – where we had over 350 families visiting us and gaining an insight into what our school can offer all children in the local area. The evening is undoubtedly made even more special by the contribution made by our pupils who give up their time to chaperone, perform, share experiences and well and truly fly the Cams Hill flag #proudofcamshill
Open Days for Prospective Parents – 24-28 September 2018
We welcome visits from prospective parents/carers and their children on one of our open days taking place next week. Whether you have visited the school on the Open Evening or not, this visit offers the opportunity to see the school in action on a usual working day by visiting subject areas and dropping into lessons with plenty of opportunity to ask questions to help inform the choice of a secondary school. Please contact Main Reception on 01329 231641 to make a booking.
