We love having @TheStoryMuseum as our near neighbour. It was wonderful to start the week by welcoming their Head of Learning, Isy, who presented Henry in Form 8 with a @TrinityC_L #SilverArtsAward for his work at the museum. 👏🎉 #creativity #arts #oxford

Looking for a boys' prep school in Oxford? This is a truly wonderful school, so small as to have a genuine family atmosphere. High academic standards, inspirational teachers, loads of music, good pastoral care. Open day tomorrow. Contact: [email protected]

Many thanks to Matt, one of our lay clerks, for demonstrating long-boarding to members of the congregation today.

Happy World Book Day! CCCS celebrated with a special assembly about genre and style, as well as some fabulous costumes right across the school 📚🐛 #lovebooks #IAmAReader #oxford

How better to end the week than a multi-skill activity session with friends? Form 5 cooked a traditional gâteau au yaourt today using #maths, #French and fine motor #skills - not to mention #teamwork and #problemsolving. Miam-miam! 🍰 #FridayFeeling #Oxford

Wonderful to see this article about #choristers from @countryandtown @School_HouseM. Our Director of Music Sophie Biddell talks about the three CCCS choirs and how to get involved 🎶 @CSAChoir @engcathedrals @oxforddiocese #music #oxford

That moment when... you're strolling around #Oxford and spot yourself on a bus! The boarders were delighted to see our Open Day ads on display this weekend. Do contact [email protected] if you'd like to visit us on 8th March #IndependentEducation #ILoveBoarding #PrepSchool

The #French department has been busy this week. Boys hunted for hidden charms in #GalettesDesRois on Monday, and loved a puzzle-filled French play with visiting actors on Wednesday. Merci à vous @OnattiProdsLtd! 🇫🇷 @AF_Oxford #frenchlanguage #learnfrench #frenchculture #mfl

Wow. How brilliant to see our school gathered for worship in our restored Chapter House.

We're so grateful to have excellent museums on our doorstep. Form 2 loved their trip to @HSMOxford this week, learning about #Galileo and the solar system. Many thanks to Helen Pooley for hosting us - and for letting the boys look through an HSM telescope! #science #astronomy

Excellent to get our 2022 sport started with lively matches against @manorprep and @thedragonschool. Many thanks to both schools for hosting us ⚽️ #prepschoolsport #football #friendlyrivalries

We've been getting very festive at CCCS today, with a Christmas Crafting Day of #creative activities. Lots of beautiful artwork now displayed around the school - and at home too 🎅 #decoupage #sewing #macrame #filmmaking #creativity

Our @ChChCathedralOx #choristers hosted a carol service in aid of @Sarcoma_UK this week, with guest readers @XanderArmstrong, Bear Grylls and Kate Winslet - plus a gospel choir! Delighted to hear that over £125,000 was raised 🎄🎁 #charity #rarecancer #carols #oxford

Boys in Forms 3 and 4 have given dazzling performances of their musical, one of the #RoaldDahl 'Revolting Rhymes', this week - but which one is it? Can you guess from the pre-show photos? (Hint: apparently porridge is #essentialforbears... 🥣🥣🥣)
