As part of the A-level history, British Empire module Year 12 students visited Hughenden Manor just near High
Wycombe on a glorious sunny summer’s day. The manor is a house of two tales, with a rich history. On one hand
it was the Victorian home to Benjamin Disraeli, Queen Victoria's favourite Prime Minister. On the other, it was the
base for a secret map-making organisation during the Second World War.
This year I have had the honour of working with an amazing senior prefect team. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Taylor Reardon, Jessica Keyes, Charlie Harper and Tegan Young-Blackman for all of their work. You have all worked exceptionally hard and have given our students some excellent role models to look up to. I know that you will be missed by both the staff and the students at CCC. We wish you luck in your exams and in your next adventures.
On the 27th of April, the maths department invited students from Years 7 and 8 to sit the UKMT Junior Maths Challenge which is a national competition where students answer intriguing maths and logic questions. Although it is a multiple choice test, it is very, very tough!
On Friday 19th May we said goodbye to our Year 13 students with an afternoon assembly followed by a Leavers’ Ball at The Pinewood Hotel.
We would welcome donations of PE kit that students have grown out of or no longer need. This includes old trainers and football boots too.
The PE department need as much spare kit as possible. It’s extremely useful for when students forget to bring theirs in. We can then give them spares to participate.
Please deliver to reception
