Expectations

This week we have taken the opportunity to remind pupils about a number of expectations regarding uniform and their movement around the school.

We remind pupils/parents/carers that the school building is open to pupils from 0820 onwards every day. Pupils who come to school earlier than this need to spend this time supervised in either the Dining Hall or in the Library.

Pupils have also been reminded that ‘hoodies’ are not permitted in school and whilst coats can be worn when moving around the school, blazers are to be worn at all times. Coats must be removed before pupils enter the classroom, the Dining and Events Hall and in the Rewards Hub. School jumpers can be purchased should pupils wish to wear a jumper under their blazer. For full details about the school uniform, please follow the link to our website https://www.camshill.com/school-life/practical-details/uniform/.

2020 … not just more of the same

Mrs Harrison-Jones has delivered an assembly to all year groups this week.

Pupils were encouraged to reflect on the last decade and to think about the next 10 years. As well as promoting our wish for pupils to be proud, be kind, be the best you can be, Mrs Harrison-Jones also spoke about our collective responsibility for the school’s environment. This included the terms ‘focus on disposing of rubbish appropriately’, ‘reduce rubbish by re-cycling, re-using and re-thinking (There is no Planet B)’ and their responsibility towards maintaining a positive learning climate.
