A really fun afternoon for the primaries at the Sports Hall athletics this afternoon with the Year 12 Sports Leaders.

Mrs Duffy brought 'A Christmas Carol' to life for our Able, Interested and Motivated Year 4s & 5s. During the workshop they read, designed costumes, wrote, explored characters, discovered interesting vocabulary and worked with new friends. It was a fantastic start to the Christmas season!

CNS Year 12 Sports Leaders led the Partnership Primary schools in a Netball Tournament yesterday. Four different winners ths time - The Big Schools was won by Charlbury (girls) and Hook Norton (boys), and the Small Schools was won by Chadlington (girls) and Enstone (boys). Well done everyone.

Keen young mathematicians have signed up to take part in two workshops at CNS to work with our keen Year 12 mathematicians. They are looking at how art can be generated from mathematical patterns.

CNS Sports leaders visited Holy Trinity this week to work with the Year 3s in a Dance workshop using the theme of 'The Mr Men & Little Miss'. Looks like they all had a great afternoon.

We're thrilled to announce that CNS has been awarded 'Centre of Excellence' for developing young leaders through sport. We're one of 37 schools nationally to get this recognition. Huge thanks to our amazing students whose enthusiastic leadership supports so many pupils in our Partnership of Schools.

The third of our family learning workshops were led by Ms Kearns and Mrs Avery. The buzz in the room for maths was fantastic!

Excellent determination shown by everyone at the CNPS cross country competition. Top performances and mega cheering all round! Thank you CNS Sports Leaders!

Family learning workshops continued last night with two sessions of trampolining. I think the children were impressed with the skills of the grown ups!

Thank you to Mrs DuCros for hosting such a fun and creative dance workshop for our Partnership families last night. Here are a few of the cartoon inspired freeze frames!

Some teams of children selected from six of the partnership primary schools enjoyed playing boccia this afternoon with some of our volunteer Sports Leaders from the sixth form. It was a really fun afternoon. One of the Hook Norton teams came first in the final. Well done to you all.

Selected students from the partnership primary schools came to take part in a music workshop yesterday. They learnt about samba rhythms from Mr Brown, Head of Music, and created music with this theme with the help of some of our GCSE students.

CNS Year 12 Sports Leaders really enjoyed visiting St. Mary's this week to work with the Year 3s in a dance workshop. In groups, they taught them some dance moves and put together a short routine to share with the rest of the class.

With thanks to the Design & Technology department we hosted a workshop for selected pupils from the primary schools yesterday afternoon. They designed and printed pencil cases using the sublimation technique. What a brilliant afternoon they had!

We kicked off our CNPS sporting calendar with the U11 Football Tournament yesterday. All teams showed excellent teamwork and the event was delivered brilliantly by our Yr12 sports leaders. Winners were Hook Norton, Charlbury and Great Tew!

Well done to all 60 students from our local primary schools who participated in our 'Young Leaders' workshop- good luck promoting physical activity back with your friends in your schools..
