The children have been busy making cards and writing their best wishes to Miss Humphreys as she is getting married over the Easter holidays! We will all be adjusting to her return as Mrs Everitt (which will take some time) and all the staff and children wished her well in assembly this week too.

Many congratulations!!

Super Spring Concert Showcases The Talent Of Crescent's Musicians

Crescent School's much anticipated Spring Concert took place on Monday 4 April with the school hall packed with parents eager to be entertained by an afternoon of fine music and song. They were not disappointed!

The school orchestra opened the concert performing two pieces confidently, Can You Feel The Love from The Lion King and Fidgety Feet by Larocca and Shields, the impact of their recent orchestra workshop was clear to see.  Then came the first of the instrumental solos with Katherine on treble recorder, her Largo by Vivaldi was finger perfect. 

Wacky Music were up next with the toe-tapping piece Easter Samba arranged by peripatetic teacher, Di Fisher. Hot on their heels was Alex Barnett who skilfully played Trumpet Tune by Clarke. The audience were impressed by Brass Group’s lively Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious by Rogers and Hammerstein and the Sherman brothers respectively.

Another solo followed with Rory enthusiastically playing Hedwig’s Theme by Williams on cornet. Then Flute Group played the traditional Country Gardens delightfully and Stephanie stayed on stage to perform Dance of the Mirlitons by Tchaikovsky beautifully.

Year 3 enchanted all with their Dotty Waltz by Watts on recorder before Alice and Charlie performed Justin Bieber’s Love Yourself in a super duet on guitar. The talented Faris rounded off the instrumental solos superbly playing Opening Night Jazz by Mier on piano.

The concert concluded with a super performance by the Choir.  Pupils from Years 3, 4, 5 and 6 sang four pieces. They belted out the challenging The Call by Spektor, the uplifting What A Wonderful World by Weiss and Thiele, the lovely Touch The Sky by Mandel and as a finale A Little Can Change Our World by Lawrence.

Our enormous thanks and congratulations go to all Crescent School's accomplished performers who took to the stage in front of their proud parents, and of course to all their teachers and Director of Music, Julie Barnes who have helped them achieve so much.

Trinity Term Uniform Requirements

Summer uniform is to be worn after the Easter break.  

Girls 

  • Grey blazer 
  • Green and white striped dress
  • Green school cardigan
  • White knee-high socks
  • Green school sun hat/cap

Boys 

  • Grey blazer 
  • White short-sleeved shirt with collar and tie
  • Green school pullover
  • Grey short trousers or long grey trousers
  • Grey knee length socks
  • Green school sun hat/cap

Blazers should be worn to and from school. Children normally remove them once they are in the playground in the morning. On the days children wear PE kit to school they should have their Crescent tracksuit top on. Children are able to wear the blazer with their cricket whites if they wish to.

Children often grow quickly so it's good to regularly check and replace any damaged, missing or ill-fitting items.  

We would ask you to check:

  • Uniform is labelled with the child's name not initials. We have a lot of uniform in lost property which is not labelled so we are unable to return it. If it is not reunited with its owner it is put into the pre-loved uniform stock
  • Your child is wearing their own uniform as coats/jumpers/cardigans/blazers etc sometimes get mixed up
  • Dress/skirt length should be on or below the knee
  • Children have the correct PE kit for their year 
  • Shoes are black school shoes
  • Hair should be tied back

A list of items stocked in school can be found under Housekeeping.
