• THE PASSING OF QUEEN ELIZABETH II

  Fri 09 Sep 2022 Mrs S Selleck

  THE PASSING OF HER MAJESTY QUEEN ELIZABETH II

   

  We are all deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Our thoughts are with the Queen’s children, members of the Royal Family and those closest to Her Majesty. Queen Elizabeth II was the longest reigning monarch in British history. We know that this news will have a significant effect on all young and old.

  On this sad day, will mark the passing of Her Majesty with an assembly to remember together an extraordinary person whom most of us have known of throughout our lives. Not only was she our Queen, our sovereign, but she was also someone who believed that leadership meant dedicating her life to the service of others. She sought to commit herself, nurtured by her Christian faith, on her 21st birthday to serve those she and her family reigned over.

  “I declare before you all that my whole life, whether it be long or short, shall be devoted to your service ... God help me to make good my vow, and God bless all of you who are willing to share in it.”

   

  Mrs. S Selleck

• GDPR COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

  Fri 25 May 2018

  As you will be aware, on 25th May 2018, a new landmark privacy law called the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) takes effect in the European Union (EU). The GDPR expands the privacy rights granted to EU individuals, and it places many new obligations on organisations that process EU personal data.
  
  Christ Church School (CCS) already has a consistent level of data protection and security across our school and we are actively working towards compliance with the GDPR, for 25th May and beyond. In preparation for GDPR, we have produced a statement which sets out how we comply with the GDPR in the processing of personal data, and how we ensure compliance of third parties. Our compliance statement can be found on our school website here:

  http://www.christchurchschool.herts.sch.uk/general-data-protection-regulation-gdpr/
  
  If you have any queries regarding our compliance with GDPR, please email the Headteacher via headspa@christchurchschool.herts.sch.uk (this email is checked Monday to Wednesday).

• OUTSTANDING Inspection result - SIAMS report

  Mon 04 Dec 2017

  Following our most recent inspection by the Church of England, we are pleased and proud to report that we achieved Outstanding in all categories.

   

  SIAMS inspections occur every 5 years and following an Outstanding grading in 2012, with Religious Education graded as 'good', we were visited on 3rd November under a new and more rigorous framework.

   

  On this occasion, after much hard work by all of the school staff, governors and children, we achieved an Outstanding grading across the four main areas including Religious Education.

   

  The report can be found under 'Key Information'.

• OUTSTANDING standards and achievement

  Sun 03 Dec 2017

  During the autumn term each year, we invite an external adviser into school to scrutinise our standards and achievement of all children - firstly in statutory assessments (SATs) and then across all other years.

   

  Our school assessment data is compared to the performance of all children across Hertfordshire and measured against national benchmarks.

   

  Once again, after rigorous and in-depth analysis, the standards of our pupils' achievements were graded as Outstanding.
