Crescent School
We have an outstanding Class VI this year and it is our pleasure to announce the new Prefects. They are chosen for their contribution around the school, their proactive attitude in our school community and their keeping of the school promise.
Well done to:
We are extremely proud of our first set of Crescent First Aiders. This term Class III undertook the Red Cross Life Live It first aid course.
This course is aimed at 6 to 11 year olds and our fabulous children worked towards the higher age group award.
They have learned how they can really make a difference in an emergency by keeping calm, controlling their emotions and summoning help.
They have shown wisdom beyond their years in being able to support a casualty with both reassurance and action.
Our First Aiders are now able to deal with burns and nosebleeds, help someone who is choking, support a patient who has a broken bone or who is bleeding badly, and most impressively of all, they can check for breathing in an unconscious patient and roll them into the recovery position.
Children from Crescent School’s Classes V and VI had a fantastic day full of uplifting singing on Tuesday 14 November when they visited fellow Foundation Junior School, Crackley Hall, to sing with Junior 5 and 6 pupils in a joint choral workshop. The pupils from both school choirs worked together under the guidance of Directors of Music, Susan Olden and Julie Barnes, to prepare and rehearse a mix of joint and individual choral and solo pieces ready for an afternoon concert to parents.
Mrs Olden and Mrs Barnes both agreed that the first joint musical initiative had been a very successful day, remarking that, “Everyone has enjoyed themselves and we have all learnt so much from each other.”
The concert started with super spine-tingling performances of I’m Still Singing, Agnus Dei and The Call, the voices of the 50 plus children blending harmoniously together to fill Crackley’s new school hall. This was followed by the two schools individually showcasing their choral skills, with Crescent School singing two pieces from their recent Harvest Festival, Thank You For Almost Everything and Everybody Praise Him, and Crackley Hall’s Chamber Choir performing For The Beauty Of The Earth and Hava Nashira. The audience were also treated to three incredible individual solos from Samuel Lau on violin, Emily Hennegan performing Naughty from Matilda and ChenChen Pan playing one of her Grade 7 pieces on piano. The finale was a catchy, feet stomping joint rendition of the popular classic Rhythm of Life.
Julie Barnes, Director of Music at the Crescent School, commented, “The children gelled straight away and clearly enjoyed working together. I was pleased with how their confidence grew throughout the day. We have some real talent in our schools and very much want to encourage them with their singing.”
Susan Olden, Director of Music at Crackley Hall, added “The children’s performance today was one any professional choir would be happy with.”
The choral workshop is to be followed by a return visit next term when Crackley Hall will travel to Bilton, Rugby for an orchestral workshop with the Crescent School.
Here’s to lots more working and learning together!

It is the school’s policy to remain open during periods of bad weather where reasonably possible. However, there may be occasions where opening the school may not be possible for health and safety reasons, or indeed when travel to school for pupils and staff may be especially dangerous.
If we do decide to close the school due to bad weather overnight, we would inform parents in the following ways:
If we need to close the school during the normal day we will follow the same procedure as outlined above. Members of staff will of course stay with any uncollected children in this event until their parents or guardians are able to come and collect. If this does occur, parents should please come to the front of the school and report to reception.
