Cherhill Netball team performed brilliantly to finish first out of all the teams who finished 2nd in the first round at a local Netball tournament. Well done all involved!

Well done to the children from year 5 & 6 who took part in  a tag rugby tournament at Beversbrook on Thursday 26th April. The team played brilliantly and came away from the tournament as champions. Well done Cherhill!

The Cherhill girls football team had an amazing time at a football festival on Thursday 22nd February. They played three matches and won them all without even conceding a goal. This meant that they won their group competition. Thank you to the girls who showed super sportsmanship and to the parents who braved the cold to transport and support us. 

We will be closing at 12pm on the 1st March and all day on Friday 2nd March owing to the snow. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

We have recently received a letter from the Rt Hon Nick Gibb MP, minister for school standards, congratulating us on our children’s achievement in reading. This puts Cherhill primary in the top 1% of schools in the country for KS2 Sats attainment in reading. Well done all!

We are all so proud of our fantastic football team. They managed to reach the third round of the Primary School U11 ‘Danone’ cup final on 17th January. After coming first in their group (without even conceding a goal) they reached the semi-finals where they were beaten 2-0 by the eventual winners.  Well done to Isaac, Hadyn, Rosie, Alfie, Rhys, Bill, Victoria and Harry.

Today, we held a very important service at school to officially welcome Mr Ind as our new Headteacher. The Salisbury Diocesan Board of Education joined with the Governors, staff, children, parents and the Church community in welcoming Mr Ind to acknowledge their Christian ministry of headship. Rev’d Linda Dytham led the service and Lady Kate Hunloke, who is a member of the Diocesan Trust Board, presented Mr. Ind  with a Bible to mark  his new Headship. To conclude the service, the children of our school sung a very special version of ‘Thank You, Lord’.

 

The children in Emerald, Amethyst and Sapphire Class put on a sparkling Nativity performance last week. The story of Whoops-A-Daisy,  a disorganised but loveable Angel who struggled to do a good job, was given a very important task of showing the Shepherds the way to Bethlehem. She successfully completed her mission and everyone managed to see the baby Jesus lying in the hay. The costumes were fabulous and the singing was beautiful. A huge thank you to all the staff and children for their hard work.

All the children helped to turn Cherhill festive this year during our whole school assembly on Friday. FS2 and KS1 created decorations for the Christmas tree, with representatives from each class choosing a space for their decoration to go. KS2 created the hanging garlands. Some little Elves were busy too, creating Santa’s Grotto ready for his visit to our Christmas Fair this Friday, 8th December. Happy Christmas everyone!

Children in Yr. 5 and 6 have spent the last few weeks constructing and decorating lanterns of various shapes and sizes. They braved the cold temperatures and took part in the Lantern Parade as part of the Calne Winter Festival. Thank you to all the children, parents and staff that supported this community event.
