⚽ Year 8 Football Update – Redbridge Cup This week, our Year 8 boys faced Ilford County in their final group stage match of the Redbridge Cup. A dramatic last minute goal from Iyaaz secured a hard earned 1 - 1draw, adding an important point to our tally. With 1 win, 1 loss and 1 draw, we now await the results of the remaining fixtures to see our final position in the group. Coaches Mr Kiani and Mr Delaney selected Wassim as Player of the Match for his outstanding performance. Well done to all the boys for their hard work and resilience. A great effort from the whole squad. 💙⚽ TeamCHS YouthFootball ProudOfOurStudents

🥋 Year 5 Judo Has Begun! 🥋 Mr Kiani had their first Judo session with the amazing Year 5 students at Coppice Primary as part of their PE curriculum! The energy, focus and teamwork were fantastic to see 🤩👏 These sessions will run every Tuesday until Easter half term as part of our transition programme, and help students build confidence, discipline and new skills along the way. Well done Year 5… a brilliant start! 🌟💪 TransitionProgramme Confidence Discipline Teamwork

AI is becoming a familiar part of young people’s online experiences, with a growing number of school tools and entertainment platforms now using it 🤖✨. This guide breaks down what AI really is, helping adults explain it clearly and realistically so children don’t overestimate its abilities or trust it unquestioningly. With Safer Internet Day coming up on 10th February, it’s the perfect moment to start meaningful conversations about how AI systems work, where they appear online, and why understanding them matters for safe, confident digital use.

🚨 Attendance is not optional - It is the difference between falling behind and moving ahead. 🚨 When students miss school, they do not just miss lessons - they miss learning. Even a few days off quickly add up, and the impact is real: 📉 Students with poor attendance are far more likely to drop a grade - or several at GCSE and Sixth Form. 📈 Students who attend regularly achieve higher results, stronger progress and leave with more choices for their future. 👨‍👩‍👧 Parents & Carers: Every absence matters. Strong attendance now protects your child’s long term success - their grades, their confidence and their future pathways. 🎒 Students: Your future is being built right now. Every lesson you attend moves you closer to your goals. Every lesson you miss puts obstacles in your way. Show up. Stay focused. Protect your chances. Excellent attendance is the expectation, not the exception. Your grades. Your future. Your move.
