• CSPA PTA July 2016

  Tue 19 Jul 2016

  We have always been extremely fortunate to have such an active and supportive PTA at our school and this year has be no exception. Throughout the year and varied and hugely successful range of fundraising events together with more social occasions have raised over £21,000!

  Recently, at our Sports Day, members of the PTA presented the school with a cheque for the sum total of their fundraising this year. Spending of the money has already been planned and is in process: £10,000 towards the leasing costs of our upgraded computing hardware, tables and chairs for Y5, new children's trays/ storage for Y3 classrooms, children's home-school diaries, a defibrillator, additional 15 ipads and cases/charging station to name but a few of the purchases already made. New curriculum resources for the new year are being sourced which will add to the children's learning enjoyment for the new academic year.

  A huge thank you to the members of the PTA who meet regularly to plan events but also to the many parents who attend, help set up and run events during the year. We couldn't provide the rich CSPA experience without you! Long may your hard work, support and enthusiasm continue!

  

• Y5 Go Givers Celebration July 2016

  Fri 15 Jul 2016
  Over the last few months,  Year 5 have been taking part in an initiative called Go Givers Make A Difference Challenge. This has encouraged children to become aware of local and global charities and causes and to think of a way in which they could 'Make A Difference' to them. All three classes have been involved in the Challenge and have raised money for the three charities Action4Archie, Shelter Box and brainstrust. On Thursday, 34 children from the year group gave a presentation at the Waterside Theatre in Aylesbury to showcase their charities. It was a fantastic event, the children gave excellent presentations and they represented the Academy admirably.

  Wed 06 Jul 2016
  On Wednesday our Year 6 children and our school hall were transported back in time to the 1940s for our history Wow Day.  The children have been learning all about life during World War 2 and this was the perfect ending to the topic.  The children quickly got involved and used their imaginations to experience life in a 1940’s school and village.  Our visitor, who led the day, couldn’t praise the children enough and loved every moment of his day at CSPA.
