PARENT EMERGENCY CONTACT DETAILS

The school officer has URGENTLY tried to contact a large number of parents regarding their sons welfare or medical emergency. In many cases, the parent contact details have not been provided or kept up to date. This is obviously a serious situation if parents are needed in a Medical emergency! Please ENSURE that the school has your correct day-time contact details. If it is not possible to contact you during the day, please ensure that you give us Emergency contact telephone numbers of a relative or family friend who has your per-

mission to collect your son on your behalf. Thank you.

CCF CHRISTMAS HAMPERS We are now collecting non-perishable goods for our CCF Christmas hampers for the elderly. Please send in your food/Christmas gift items (tins, pack-ets, soap etc) as soon as possible to the School reception. Thank you in advance, for your kind contributions. Mr Kneller

Following weeks of innovative cooking our Year 11

GCSE Food Technologists have now moved on the

next stage in the development of their selected reci-

pes. Each student has now chosen their favourite idea

to develop further and this year it is evident that des-

serts have proved the most popular choice. Cheese-

cake, gateaux and fruit pies were the order of the day

last week as each student baked four modified recipes

based on their original idea. Each student had to en-

sure that individually each recipe was altered from

their original by the use of assorted spices, ingredients

and presentation ideas. Following further taste testing

and analysis they will now decide which of their op-

tions they prefer before taking that idea forward for

one further modification in January. Parents of Year 10 Food Technology Students The next Controlled Assessment for Design Idea 3 will take

place on Tuesday 11th December 2013

Parents of Year 11 Food Technology Students

The next GCSE Controlled Assessment for the 2nd Recipe

Modification will take place on 11th January 2013

During the Christmas break would you please remind your

son that he still needs to complete all coursework to date

to be handed in at the start of the new term!

Mrs G Roberts, Food Technology

Yr 9 Reading and Spelling Tests

SPORTS REPORTS

Year 10 Basketball - CCF 45-33 Hendon

CCF Year 10's maintained an unbeaten start to

the Basketball season with a solid performance

against strong opposition from Hendon. As al-

ways with Year 10 their was a huge pool of tal-

ent to pick from and all boys turned in strong

performances.

CCF established an 8 point advantage at half-

time and always looked the more likely winners

until Hendon stormed back to get within 2

points as the game moved into the last 10 min-

utes. Inspired by some tidy finishing by Joseph

Chidyausiku, Louis Rolloda and Jordan Ekpa-Epu,

CCF re-established the upper hand and finished

the game looking hungry for more points. Well

done to the following boys for excellent per-

formances:

Louis Rolloda, Jordan Ekpa-Epu and

Funmbi Latilo. Mr Ellis
