• National Floor and Vault Gymnastics Finals

  Sat 02 May 2015

  National Gymnastics Finals: Saturday 2nd May
  CSPA boys’ team, comprising three new young gymnasts, performed with great panache to gain third place in the national floor and vault championships on Saturday, 2nd May.  A wonderful achievement considering our new, young team members and their relative inexperience to national competition.  Performing in the first round of the day at 9am the boys set a high standard of performance and a competitive benchmark for the other teams across Great Britain to challenge.  It was late in the afternoon when the results were announced that two teams had ousted our team into third place.  The team from the east of England came first, followed by our great rivals over the years from Newcastle Grammar School from the north edging us into third place by 1 point.  Our captain, Charlie Walsh completed the day as one of the highest scoring boys of the day in both his floor and vault disciplines.  Sadly, Charlie moves on to his new school in September but leaves behind a team that will be ready by challenge for the national title again in 2016.  Representing the South of England alongside Chalfont St Peter were the girls from Maltman’s Green and the mixed team from Stoke Poges.  Between us we achieved the overall highest scoring region in the finals and once again the national George Finney trophy was presented to the South! Well done boys! 
  
  

   

  Well done the South of England!  A special mention for the wonderful support we have received from the parents, relations and friends of our squad over the past year and it is very much appreciated the excellent support received at the weekend at Stoke on Trent. 

   

  Thank you also to Mr Underwood for boundless enthusiasm and quality coaching which enabled the boys to reach this stage. We look forward to continued success next year!

• Academy Day 1st May 2015

  Fri 01 May 2015

  Friday 1st May was our 4th Anniversary of becoming the first primary academy within the Diocese of Oxford. As a tradition, we always celebrate the day, marking the start of a new era of the school. Today was no exception and as children arrived, balloons decorated the gates and preparations for a special lunchtime were underway. PTA members barbecued 400 sausages for the children which they ate with relish outside with picnic blankets to sit on. Blessed with sunshine, music playing from the Learning Chalet encouraged some dancing and 'performing' to take place!

   

  No birthday would be complete without a cake and a CSPA cake was cut ceremonially in front of the children and everyone enjoyed a slice (of several additional cakes!)

   

  During the afternoon, the staff played netball, taking on the challenge of the high achieving Y6 A and B teams before a special Achievement Assembly held in the hall. The day was rounded off as all children received a special bookmark created for the occasion, quoting the verses from the Bible, Numbers Chapter 6: "The Lord bless you and keep oy. The Lord make his face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you. The Lord lift up the light of his countenance upon you and give you peace."

   

  A special day, for a special school.
