Over the preceding years, our change@cchs project inspired our school community to introduce and establish new events and traditions. In the service of confidently embedding them into the lifeblood of our school, we will now progress change@cchs to community@cchs. This new community@cchs now has a host of celebrations to reflect our ambitious and forward-looking school:
Autumn Term
- Culture Fest & Black Excellence Fest (October)
- International Day of the Girl (October)
Spring Term
- International Women’s Day (March)
Summer Term
- Pride Fest (June)
- South Asian Heritage (July)
Change@CCHS
Our change@cchs initiative provided our school with a framework of agreed standards, directing and driving many opportunities to move forward with courage and conviction. This enabled our students, staff, trustees and parents to engage in a collective determination for our community to be distinguished by understanding, respect, co-operation and civility.
We are a culturally diverse and socially inclusive school community. Our students bring with them an enriching and inspiring variety of backgrounds and traditions. This fires our ambition to be a progressive grammar school community, committed to excellence in girls’ education and empowerment. The updates below provide an insight into the genesis and evolution of our change@cchs project.
In June 2022, and thanks to the support of the CCHS Parents’ Association, our two Deputy Headteachers, Mrs Cross and Miss Harrison, presented on our change@cchs work at the Global Forum on Girls’ Education III in Boston, USA.
