We are so proud of Sol, who climbed Snowdon for charity recently, in an impressive 5 hours!! He shared his knowledge and facts from his Geography lessons with the group of walkers. Money was raised for a local charity, Period Power, who do a fantastic job and support lots of schools in the area. Well done Sol, what an achievement!

It is always a joy to celebrate the many achievements of our pupils. We are looking forward to lots of special assemblies and services during the last few days of the term. A huge THANK YOU to Stone Shoe Repairs for all your hard work in helping us to prepare for these events. 🏆🥈

Y8s have spent a lovely, sunny PE lesson playing Pickleball on the courts this afternoon. What a lovely way to end the week and get lots of fresh air and exercise!

At Christ Church we are so blessed to have such generous and thoughtful pupils. After hearing about the work of the IFAW, pupils approached us to ask if they could run a fundraising bake sale. They made lots of delicious cakes in their own time and we are pleased to say that they raised over £250 for this wonderful charity! We are so proud of them and the values that they demonstrate.
