A recording of the Year 11 exam information can be viewed below.
The start of the Summer Term arrangements are as follows:
All students return to school to register at 11.00 am. The school gates will be open at 10.40am. The first lesson will be period 3.
Year 8 had an assembly introducing and explaining the Options Process. We understand that there is a lot of information to take in. All the key messages and information are also contained in the Options Booklet below. It also contains an overview of the Key Stage 4 curriculum, the Options Process and details about all subjects. Students have also been given a hard copy to bring home for ease of reference. Please read this carefully as it will provide insight into the components of each specification before choices are made.
We ask that you and your daughter carefully consider these choices and select subjects that are balanced and meet her strengths and aspirations. We will endeavour to meet the choices of each individual student, but unfortunately, this cannot always be guaranteed. The viability of any course is dependent upon the number of students who select it and the staffing available to us.
This year, we launched a House Writing competition to celebrate both 2025 World Book Day and International Women's Day. The challenge was to put one of our house mascots - Kalpana Chawla, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Audrey Hepburn and Mary Seacole - into a story genre that you wouldn't expect to find them in!
The judging panel consisted of 5 English teachers and 2 A-level English scholars (who were previous writing competition winners). It was wonderful to read all the entries and discuss their merits. We certainly have some very talented writers at CHSG! Our winners were Soumya M (Y10) and Sarah J (Y7) who both produced fabulous, imaginative stories.
Soumya's science fiction tale, 'Starlight and Shadows' was set on the spaceship Celestial Dawn, where Audrey Hepburn, the ship's cultural diplomat, must convince yet another cosmic warlord that peace and understanding can be won at very little cost to humankind.
Sarah's Audrey Hepburn in her story, 'Stardust', is suddenly transported from a Parisian café in 1961 to the year 2147. Dodging hovertrams, flying cars and drones in her heels is a big problem. But escaping Project Eternal to become a Kindness Robot is an even bigger one!
Friday 4th April is the last day of term and will be an early finish. Students will be dismissed as per below:
We will be having a Mufti Day on the last day, please note that students wearing mufti are expected to follow these rules:

The bake sale will run during breaks and lunch times to raise money. This will also be run as a house competition. Whoever raises the most money will win!
There will be a mix of prices, so there is something for everyone. Please bring cash.

It has been a very exciting time at CHSG in terms of our houses. In the initial meeting of student council back in September, the girls expressed that they wanted to update the current house names (Red, Yellow, Blue and Green) to be named after inspirational women that embodied the school values and the qualities they want to grow in. It was vital to us that these women reflected the diversity amongst our students and represented a variety of disciplines. Both students and staff gave their feedback and the results were shared in our whole school assembly this week. Work will now begin to fully embed these new houses in school life. I am delighted to inform you that the new houses are as follows:
Our first CHSG GOLD newsletter of this academic year is out now. See the link below to read about our students' achievements and how we celebrate our students each term.
CHSG extra-curricular clubs and activities have started this week.
To sign up, students just need to attend the session and speak with the club leader.
Please note that clubs can fill up fast, and occasionally we may need to reduce club sizes due to resources. Students will be able to join a club at a later date, or in the next term.
Thursday 19th December is the last day of term and will be an early finish, students will be dismissed as per below:
This year we will be having a Mufti Day on the last day of term to raise money for Choose Love chooselove.org/, a charity that aims to provide refugees and displaced people with everything from lifesaving search and rescue boats to food and legal advice.
Each student is kindly asked to bring in a £1 donation should they wish to participate. You can also donate via Parent Pay.
Please note that students wearing mufti are expected to follow these rules:
If your child has a PE lesson on this day, please ensure that they bring their kits as usual as they will still be expected to change into appropriate sportswear for this lesson.
