Today’s Cross country Training Session Cancelled (18/02/22)
In light of the red weather warning issued for the area, we have made the difficult decision to cancel today’s cross-country training session. We have taken into account advice from the local authority and carefully considered the safety of students, parents, and school staff. We have not taken this decision lightly. We will do our very best to inform as many parents as we are able but please could all schools support us with this through their own communication systems. Thank you Cheryl StennettGSSN Network Manager / School Games Organiser

Thank you to all the schools who took a leap of faith and attended our Sportshall Athletics event last Friday – and what a fantastic atmosphere did we all feel. I can quite honestly say that I have never seen so many smiling faces and energised pupils and staff as I did last week. Competing in a safe and secure environment and enjoying every second. Well done to all the pupils and the Churchdown School Sport leaders who gave their all to each and every event and to the staff who made this wonderful experience possible. And the results are in!

As always we are keen to keep all pupils active during the Christmas two-week break. So to support your pupils, we have attached our 12 days of Christmas workout challenge. It needs no equipment, can be done indoors or out, and is perfect to help keep your pupils moving. They may even want to add their own challenges and complete the two!
