Super huge good luck to Crescent's U11 IAPS Hockey team who will represent Crescent School in the national finals on Wednesday next week, assuming it goes ahead. 

They were presented with their hoodies in assembly this morning.

We are proud of you all!

Crescent School

Class 4M have nominated two projects to raise money for this year. £500 towards a class kit that can deliver the curriculum to all with one set of software and hardware, plus £550 of food for the orphan stations for six months.

Due to the postponement of a few key events that usually raise collection money, Class 4M are determined to reach their target with a some extra games that they have created themselves. 

From Monday 16 March until Thursday 26 March representatives from Class 4M will be on the pupil entrance with games and competitions to enter and win. Prices are either 50p or £1 and Easter Eggs will be prizes for most apart from Guess The Teddy's Name when you win the teddy!

Please support this great cause that Crescent holds dear to its heart. This is our 11th year of association with the charity.

Thank you

I wanted to keep parents of the present Years 4 and 5 informed that I have managed to purchase tickets to see School of Rock at the The Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham for next February when your children are in Years 5 and 6. I am sure you will agree it will be an exciting experience.

Further details will come out nearer the time. I, for one, cannot wait.

Cyber-crime – please be vigilant

Parents are asked to be vigilant when reading emails relating to the payment of school fees and any other items to the Foundation.

We continue to receive reports regarding spam emails being sent to parents of independent schools asking them to pay future fees to a ‘new’ school bank account.

Please be advised there has been no change to the bank details of either Princethorpe College, Crackley Hall or Crescent and there is no intention to make any changes in the foreseeable future. Any electronic notification that appears to be from any of the Foundation schools changing these details may be fraudulent.

Our bank details are available on the Parent Bills, the Online Payment Portal and for Princethorpe in the Princethorpe College Information Booklet 2019 – 2020, and only those details should be used.

Parents are asked to be vigilant in respect of any communications purporting to be from the Foundation requesting money that does not match our normal procedures.

Please note:

• invoices are only available through the on-line parent fee portal;
• our bank account details will NOT change during the academic year 2019-20;
• if you receive an email purporting to amend our bank details, do not make any payment and please contact us by telephone immediately to clarify;
• we do not email details of unsolicited discounts for payment of funds.

Please do not hesitate to contact me or my colleagues in the Bursary if you are have any doubts about the correct details or indeed if anything appears suspicious.

Please contact the Bursary if you have concerns about any communication you receive and in particular if you receive any request for payment of funds outside our normal routines.

Please note we do not accept payment in cash for the fee bill.
