To celebrate the founding of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra 80 years ago this year, flautist Jo Marsh has been travelling around the UK visiting schools with the aim of inspiring a new generation of woodwind players. We were thrilled to host her here at CCCS yesterday (Monday 12th October), as her final school visit of 2026 (after seeing 24,500 children in over 100 schools!). Jo gave an assembly for the Prep School, in which she played a piece especially written for her by John Rutter, as well as showcasing the contrasting sounds of the piccolo and alto flute.

Our Form 5 boys were deep in concentration today, using laptops to work through individual French listening, reading and speaking tasks - because language learning isn’t just about grammar! 

They love being able to work at their own pace, taking ownership of their learning and building confidence along the way.

On Tuesday, our Pre-Prep children visited Cogges Manor Farm, where they travelled back in time to the Victorian Era.

Our Form 5 boys kicked off the new term in style with a trip to Youlbury Activity Centre, taking on the zipwire, mastering the art of backwoods cooking and baking delicious pizza and bread over the campfire. 

Today we're celebrating International Languages Day, so surely it can’t be a coincidence that on the very same day, our Worcester Choristers were invited to a singing workshop and informal concert with FundacionAzteca from Mexico, where they joined forces for a beautiful performance of Somewhere over the rainbow.

Thank you to Worcester Choirmaster Mr Lee, for organising such a wonderful occasion. 

Is there a better way to learn about 'Everyday Heroes' than dressing up and role-playing emergency scenarios?

No, we don't think there is either!
