Green Flag Award

The Children in Eco-Club did a fine job for our school when they met the Green Flag inspector, sent by Eco Schools, to check if we met all the criteria to achieve the top Eco School award, the Green Flag.

The inspector was shown around the school and shown everything we have achieved over the last two years – our movement sensitive lighting, more plants in the school environment, and our recycling initiatives. She was most impressed with the way Eco Club is run by the children and powered by children’s own ideas. She was impressed enough to award us the Green Flag, which is now proudly hung in our hall.

Healthy Schools Award

Christ Church School was proud to receive Healthy Schools status in the summer of 2009.  The whole school worked together on the project and great improvements took place over the course of the year in which we worked to achieve it.

The Healthy School s Programme is designed to help all children and young people to be healthy and achieve at school and in life by providing opportunities at school for enhancing emotional and physical aspects of health.  In the longer term, the aim is that this will lead to improved health, reduced health inequalities, increased social inclusion and raise achievement for all.

In September 2009 we were invited to take part in the Healthy Schools + Project, to continue building on the fantastic work already in place.  We focussed on improving our Drugs Education in school, Family Seal with families in Year 1 and Time to Talk in FS2.

 

We heard in March 2010 that we are one of a small number of schools in North Somerset to achieve Healthy Schools + status in the first round.  Once again, we are immensely proud of our school community that we are able to make these improvements when we work together.

Leading Aspect Award

We believe a supportive partnership between home and school is essential for a child’s successful education.  The co-operation between parents and teachers is vitally important. We try to foster this partnership by encouraging parental involvement in school in as many ways as possible. 

Parents are children’s first teachers and we aim to build on that foundation.  Children have been found to make the best progress when home and school work together.  To this end we encourage you as a parent to become involved as much as possible in your child’s education.

When your child joins the school we ask both you and them to sign the Home/School Agreement which formalises the links we have.
