A day at Churston

There’s no such thing as an ordinary day at Churston. We try to make every one of them special.

Here are just some of the moments that make a Churston school day.

Y9 Tutees of the Term Tutors nominated two students in each tutor group whom they felt had gone above and beyond not just in the last half term, but in the whole of year 9. They were awarded for qualities such as: kindness, being helpful, inquisitivity, caring for others, volunteering or being form reps. A massive well done from Miss Godsland and all tutors! #CFGS #churstongrammar #churstongrammarschool #CFGSsuccess #CFGSachievement #WeAreChurston #ChurstonStories #ChurstonTogether

The intermediate biology olympiad is a national competition that tests A-level knowledge of topics alongside problem solving skills and an understanding of core principles. The grade boundaries were very high this year, indicating an extremely strong calibre of entrants. Very well done to Bo, Katie and Ella who all achieved bronze awards. #CFGS #churstongrammar #churstongrammarschool #CFGSbiology #biologyolympiad #CFGSbiology #CFGSsuccess #CFGSachievement #WeAreChurston #ChurstonStories #ChurstonTogether

What an incredible achievement from Matt and Lucas (Year 12)! Recently, they represented both Churston and their own sustainable clothing company, Roots (Rootsclothing.co.uk), as keynote speakers at a COP22-themed event at the University of Exeter. Invited by the Academy for Character and Excellence, they spoke to more than 100 primary school pupils, inspiring the young delegates to make positive environmental pledges within their own school communities. "It was a heartwarming and inspiring event where we were incredibly impressed by the ambition, dedication and bright ideas of the climate change makers of tomorrow. It was also a very nice opportunity to say that we gave a talk in a lecture theatre!" – Lucas, Year 12 To be invited as keynote speakers at such a prestigious event is a remarkable achievement. Together with Roots co-owner Fyn, Matt and Lucas are already making a real difference beyond the classroom, using their passion, leadership and entrepreneurial spirit to inspire the next generation of environmental changemakers. We couldn't be prouder of everything they are achieving. Congratulations, Matt and Lucas! #CFGS #churstongrammar #churstongrammarschool #CFGSsocialjustice roots_activism #CFGSsustainability #CFGSsuccess #CFGSachievement #WeAreChurston #ChurstonStories #ChurstonTogether
