The Money, the Main Thing, and the Hard Choices
It’s no secret that school budgets are being squeezed, and the Stop School Cuts campaign has been applying pressure on the government for some time

It’s the end of term. Of course there’s a Ferris wheel.

Plus a Victorian magic show, penny-farthings, and a Victorian blacksmith with a forge (his public liability insurance also covers him for alchemy). It’s another Rumble Museum event, which is just one of the ways Cheney is so very… Cheney.

Don’t miss our Victorian Festival at Cheney on Thursday 22nd October!

Don’t read this!
If you actually obey an instruction not to read something, what’s wrong with you?

Reasons to be positive
More inclusive, more successful: two new initiatives this term, which have started well – ‘kick start’ literacy enhancement class in Year 7, and ‘vocational pathways’ in year 8. The right provision means happier children, means more learning.

Thank you to staff, parents and our lovely student helpers for supporting Open Evening this Tuesday!

Open evening: early finish at 1:30pm, Tuesday 22nd September
Please note that school will finish at 1:30pm next Tuesday to allow staff to set up for Open Evening. There will be no lunch service for students. Students who are eligible for free school meals should please get their meal at morning break.

Students that bring packed lunches into school should avoid bringing in foods containing nuts and sesame products (e.g. hummus, seeded rolls). We have a student in year 7 who has a severe reaction to nuts and sesame products, including airborne particles. Thank you.

Welcome back! A particular welcome to all our new families.
All students are back to school Monday 7th September by 8:25am.
Friday 4th September for year 7 and year 12 ONLY.

Thank you to everyone in our Cheney community for another fantastic year! Have a great summer and see you in September!
