For a complete up to date sports fixture list please check the Sports Newsletter each week. From January 2018 this will available to view via the CHS Firefly site @ ‘News & Events’ -> ‘Sports Newsletter’
New fixtures, competitions and tournaments are booked on a consistent basis throughout the term these are only the dates we have so far.
Team sheets and full details of all immediately upcoming fixtures are on the PE notice board located in the main hall.
Pupils in the Junior School will receive letters and in return we need reply permission slips from parents.
Pupils in the Senior School may be expected to record the information from the PE notice board and inform their parents.
Pupils are expected to inform staff ASAP out of courtesy if they are not available, so a replacement can be found.
SANDWICH REQUEST FORMS: Pupils will be informed of their choices for Sandwich Requests if a child has a School Lunch for any fixtures that depart before lunch time. This has to be booked with the Catering Department giving them at least 24 hours notice. We require the support of parents and pupils if we ask you to return forms and indicate their choices. Obviously once ordered, this request may not be able to be changed.
SCHOOL POLICY: Dictates that for all ‘non-local’ trips parents will also have to complete a Parental Consent Form for each individual Sporting event or fixture. This will be sent out via Firefly. Non-local is considered outside the Colchester district and where travel via coach is required.
