The Courier

We were all very excited about Olive Catering’s ‘Street Kerb’ tasting event today and the children couldn’t wait either. The Latin American menu had our mouths watering and it certainly lived up to our expectations.

Parents had the chance to enjoy the flavours at Open Corridors too! When did school dinners get so exciting?

Many thanks to Olive Catering for organising the Street Food taster today - we can't wait to see what you come up with next.

Crescent School gave a fantastic warm welcome to the Leavers of 2022, on Wednesday 5 October, when they returned to their old primary school to take part in the annual Past Pupil Sports Matches.

It was lovely to see all their familiar faces and to welcome the new Year 7s and their parents back into school.  After a quick catch up, coffee and cake, Assistant Head and Year 6 teacher, Mrs Webb, took the pupils and their parents on a tour. We had plenty of great feedback with pupils and parents commenting, 'It is just like coming home', 'It is lovely and familiar' and 'The children have been so excited to return, it is all they have been talking about'. What was really lovely was that when the Year 7s visited their old classroom, they found their desks and sat in them and as if they had never gone.

Then the boys and girls headed out onto the field and courts, ready to face Crescent’s teams. The matches were great fun to watch, fast paced with plenty of shots at goal.  Midway through the teams swapped over to ensure everyone had a chance to play. Sport is such a huge part of life here at Crescent, and it was wonderful to see the camaraderie of all the pupils.

This year the results in the Football were 6-1 to past pupils and in the Netball the Year 7s also came out on top beating the Crescent team 9-3. Both were fantastic matches played with great spirit. Thank you to everyone for coming along.

We always like hearing from past pupils and encourage everyone within the Crescent community to stay in touch with the school. The Foundation has an active alumni community, past parents are welcome to join, as are past pupils once they have finished their secondary education. You can find out more here:

We are purchasing our fundraising Christmas cards from Xmas4schools. Please look out for your child bringing home an order card that has the ordering details on one side and the actual space where the design must be on the other.

Please fill in details and keep to the class name as RP, 1Q, 1S, 2E, 2W, 3S, 4C, 5F or 6W. Also, there is a price guide as to what products you will be able to buy when the design is complete. 

The design guidelines are: 

• Do not go too near the edge as the printer will cut it off- you must be 1cm away all around.
• Do use felt tip, ink, pencil crayons, gel pens - brighter the better- pale does not show up.
• Do use collage if you want - but well stuck down.
• Do use glitter glue if you want.
• Do not use sprinkle glitter- it falls off!
• Do not use large areas of metallic finishes - it will not look shiny.
• Do cover up as much of the white space as you can.
• Do make any text big as the process will reduce the size of the design.

The design card with details, must be returned as soon as possible. The deadline is Thursday 13 October 2022. We cannot accept or send any late orders.

FoC will receive a donation for every product ordered, so do get designing! Please note that this is not the Crescent School Christmas card competition, but items just for yourselves.

Season's Greetings!
