The school’s values of ‘Nurture, Challenge and Inspire’ underpin everything we do.

Our prospective Rece

At the beginning of October, our Year 3 and 4 pupils were in for a real treat when bestselling children’s author Holly Webb came to visit! The children gathered in the Carmelite Hall to hear all about her work and the magic behind her wonderful stories.

Thanks to the fantastic support of Chichester Bookfest, every pupil was able to take home their very own signed copy of The Littlest Puffling — what a special keepsake!

Since Holly’s visit, her books have been flying off our library shelves, and it has been wonderful to see the excitement continue. Even more excitingly, some of our pupils have already been inspired to share their own creative writing!

A huge thank you to Holly Webb for visiting us, sharing her love of storytelling and sparking so much imagination in our young readers and writers. And, of course, a big thank you to Chichester Bookfest for helping make this memorable experience possible!

Last week, we were delighted to welcome the Taskmaster Education team, including comedian Phil Ellis, to CFS where they worked with some of our fantastic Year 7 and Year 8 students.

Our students had the exciting opportunity to help develop a brand-new family show, which will be touring the country next year. They thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and we are incredibly proud of the enthusiasm, creativity and teamwork they demonstrated throughout, helping the Taskmaster team bring their ideas to life.

A huge thank you to Phil Ellis and the entire Taskmaster Education team for providing such a memorable and engaging experience for our students. We are extremely grateful for this fantastic opportunity and look forward to following the show’s journey when it tours next year.

Head of Year 7
