Dear Parents,
A warm welcome back to all our children. It is so lovely to see so many of them rushing eagerly into school and even the older students who never want to look too enthusiastic about school seem happy to be back among their friends. A particular welcome to the new students in each department. [...]

What an amazing day we had! 60 children from CIS, aged between 8 and 14 had an eventful day at the Royal Albert Hall, culminating in a really moving performance. Highlights included a medley from Joseph and his Technicolour Dreamcoat and Queen. Although our journey was not as smooth as we had hoped (the coach broke down in London, a long way from the Albert Hall and we had to take two underground trains to get there!) everyone had an amazing day.

Dear Parents,
This happy busy term has just flown by! We have had a really great term with many exciting trips and an impressive amount of hard work too.
