  Fresh from a recent visit to Waltham Forest Town Hall where they meet up with the Borough's mayor, our school councillors visited Westminster Palace today to further advance their knowledge of how democracy works in the United Kingdom.

  Year 6 councillors Asfandyar and Georgie were both enthusiastic about the trip. Asfandyar commented, "I really enjoyed the workshop which was about how laws are debated and passed." Georgie added, "I found it really interesting watching the debates in the House of Commons and the House of Lords. I noticed both Houses have maces on display just as there is one at the Town Hall and one when we have our school council meetings at school."

• Girls' Football Tournament!

  Tue 29 Nov 2022

  Mr Blake had the pleasure of taking 16 year 5 and 6 girls to goals on Tuesday for what turned out to be the largest schools football tournament ever within Waltham Forest for either boys or girls! 

  He was very pleased to report that the behaviour of the children, both on and off the football pitch, was impeccable, and they showed tremendous respect and sporting behaviour to both the opposition and the referees involved in the running of the tournament. 

  Both teams experienced on field success by winning their opening group games 2-1 against very good opposition. All the girls battled hard and showed some real quality on the ball and worked hard off the ball to help each other and try to prevent the opposition from having any shots on goal.  

  The Chingford CofE  Green team did manage to make the quarter finals where they were narrowly beaten 1-0 by what looked a very experienced team, and we did have our chances but unfortunately it was not to be on the day! Out of 37 teams they should be very proud of themselves for making it as far as they did. 

  Well done to all 16 children involved, you were a huge credit to the school and Mr Blake had nothing but superlatives to say when he got back from the trip!

• Boys’ 5 a-side football team just miss out

  Wed 23 Nov 2022

  The boys’ Year 5/6 football team suffered the heartbreak of losing on penalties to St John the Baptist Primary in the quarter final of the Qualiteach Cup held at ‘Goals’ today.

  Following wins against Mission Grove, Halley House, Mayflower and Stroud Green in the group stage which saw them top their group, hopes were high that the team would proceed to the semi finals due to be held later in the season at the Breyer Group Stadium, home of Leyton Orient where four teams will fight it out on the pitch before an 0’s home game.

  A tight, enthralling game against St John’s ended 0-0 with the referee signalling the game would be decided by the dreaded penalty shoot-out.

  Sadly, C of E were beaten 2-1 on penalties and the disconsolate boys had to come to terms with the fact that their dreams of playing at a football league stadium had come to an end.

  Despite the disappointment, the boys played brilliantly throughout the tournament displaying great skill, camaraderie and sportsmanship. Well done boys, the school is proud of you!
