| | | FROM THE OFFICE | That new campus...
As you may have seen from local social media, our plans for a new campus are not going to be determined by the Council until after the local elections in May. When we submitted our applications in December 2017 little did we realise then that we would still be waiting for a planning decision in 2019. Whilst this is enormously disappointing and frustrating, we have been working closely with statutory authorities and the Council over the past 15 months and have made significant progress. We are delighted to inform you that the plans at Cannon Lane have received the green light from:
- Environment Agency
- Highways England
- Natural England
- Sport England
Soon it will be up to to a panel of newly-elected councillors to decide our future, so until then, we thank everyone (and there have been over 2,000 of you) for taking the time so far to support us; your efforts to show that parents and local people support our proposals have had a very positive impact. Hopefully in the near future we will be informing you of the committee date and once again you will join us in force to show the strength of support for the best possible future for Claires Court.

I seem to be repeating myself every week by saying how busy the past week has been. However, I am not sure we could have possibly crammed anything else into the last 7 days. Last Friday we hosted a total of 24 local state and independent schools for our annual U10, 6 a-side tournament. We entered two teams and they both played extremely well with the U10A finally being knocked out in the semi-final of the Plate competition and the U10B suffering the agony of penalties to also go out in the semi-finals of the vase competition. However, the pupils were fantastic role models for the school and always played with superb sportsmanship.
On Monday it was the turn of the U11 teams as again we hosted 24 teams to our second tournament in four days. This time it was the ISA London West regional event. Again our teams played extremely well. Both finished in the top two in their group to qualify for the Cup competition. Our U11A1 sadly lost on penalties in the Semi-final while out U11A2 went one better by getting to the final only to miss out on taking home the cup again in the agony of a penalty shoot out. All the pupils that played in this event should be commended for their determination and teamwork.
While this was going on Mr Denton took pupils from Year 4-6 away to the Oratory Prep for their cross country event. The pupils performed very well with William Dart bringing home the bronze medal in the Year 6 race.
Alongside these events this week we have also fitted in U9 fixtures against Moulsford and Abbingdon on Tuesday and all our U10 teams played St John’s Beaumont on Wednesday.
If all this wasn't enough the whole of Year 4 travelled to Bournemouth on football tour on Thursday and Friday, enjoying fixtures against The Gregg school and Ballard’s school. More details of this will be in next week's bulletin.
