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!
On Tuesday, we had the pleasure of the Pre-Prep School's annual concert. Parents and staff enthusiastically supported the children as they sang and played their hearts out!
We are delighted to share that The Gatehouse, Oxford has enjoyed a fabulous Winter Appeal after raising over £20,000! This is more than double the original target they set - a fantastic achievement!
On Monday we were joined by 160 pupils from five primary schools across the county as part of a singing festival in the Cathedral.
