We are excited to share that Adam C was recently selected to represent the Oxford U14 baseball team - despite still only being 11!
Our Worcester College Chapel Choristers are currently in Normandy, where they are singing in a number of commemorative performances to mark the 81st anniversary of D-Day.
Whilst crossing the channel yesterday, the boys sang while a wreath was cast into the water, they spoke with veterans, and they were even interviewed by ITV News and featured on GMB.
Today, they are in Bayeux Cathedral where they will take part in a Service of Thanksgiving for veterans, dignitaries and other military personnel. Later, they will head to Arromanches Beach, before another moving service in Bayeux Cemetery.
You can watch today's Service of Thanksgiving here.
Over the last two days, nine of our boys who previously completed Levels 1 and 2 of the Bikeability Course, took part in Level 3.
As we prepare to bid farewell to our Form 8 boys this summer, and wish them well on their next chapter at senior school, we want to shine the spotlight on some of their achievements.
Boys in the Prep department have been hard at work preparing for the Music Competition since the first day of term, and it’s been wonderful to hear music spilling out of classrooms in the quest for points. How many schools would find their pupils engaged in al fresco trumpet and recorder lessons - given by their peers - at break time? I am so grateful to the boys for throwing themselves into the task with such energy.
Yesterday, 32 pupils, staff and parents took part in the Oxford Town and Gown 3k and 10k races. A massive thank you to everyone who took part and came to support the CCCS team!
This term, we have introduced a new club as part of our Enrichment Programme, 'The Out and About' Club.
During Enrichment, the boys headed down to Woodland School where they practised their den-making skills. Gathering wood, crates and even a tyre, they demonstrated great teamwork and very accomplished dens!
For the very first time in more than 10 years, 18 boys from CCCS and 3 members of staff enjoyed skiing facing Mont Blanc for a week.
Two weeks ago, the Cathedral Choristers returned to CCCS for Holy Week. The focus for the first part of the week was a performance of Buxtehude’s Cantatas, a collection of which has not been included in the Cathedral Choir’s repertoire since 2010.
We head into the Easter break with a flurry of activity!
The Pre-Prep and Early Years Children have been showcasing their crafting skills to create some dazzling Easter creations.
In the Early Years School, amongst the cosy Easter decorations, the children created homemade Easter cards featuring their own little chicks - each reflecting their own individuality, which is tremendous!
The Pre-prep children have been equally busy creating their Easter Bonnets, which were beautifully adorned during yesterday's Easter Bonnet Parade and Easter Egg Hunt in the Christ Church Cathedral Gardens.
As the sun shone on Christ Church, parents were treated to a wonderful musical performance, before the boys and girls proudly showed off their bonnets in the Easter Parade. Next, it was the moment they had all been waiting for... The Easter Egg hunt! All the children did an amazing job helping each other to find the hidden eggs around the garden. And they couldn't wait to tuck into their spoils at the end!
As the sun shone brightly over Christ Church Meadow, our latest Woodland School session got underway!
