CHRONICLE DEVELOPING POTENTIAL CELEBRATING SUCCESS When I read this edition of the Cansfield Chronicle I feel so proud of our school the students and staff who we are what we try to be I am always amazed at the range of opportunities experiences and challenges that are open to all and grateful for the excitement and enthusiasm each occasion or event generates You can really feel the buzz in school before and after the event and this lifts people makes people feel good about life at school makes people happy Our students always conduct themselves with maturity and good manners particularly on these occasions I frequently receive letters cards and e mails from members of the public event organisers and tour operators to praise their courtesy and friendliness That is the Cansfield way We are a school dedicated to promoting in all of our students ambition aspiration and achievement In the world we now live in our schools will need to know more and be better than ever before to achieve good outcomes This is of course our first priority and will always be so That said Cansfield will always try to be much more for our students providing each with an opportunity to grow to be happy and to experience some of all that this wonderful world of ours offers so that maybe they will feel confident to pursue more when they leave school My thanks to all who are involved in providing these wonderful opportunities and I hope that 2018 and beyond continues to be memorable M Southworth Headteacher 2 CANSFIELD CHRONICLE CONTENTS WELCOME TO THE SECOND EDITION OF THE DEVELOPING POTENTIAL CELEBRATING SUCCESS CHRONICLE 2016 17 4 LILLE CHRISTMAS MARKET 5 RESULTS TO CELEBRATE RESULTS TO BE PROUD OF 6 LEAVERS DINNER 2017 8 CANSFIELD GYMNASTS 9 TEAM UGANDA 10 ICELAND 2017 12 TEAM CANSFIELD SPORTS PRESENTATION EVENING 14 NORTH WEST COUNTIES PLATE CHAMPIONS KS3 RUGBY LEAGUE Y7 8 15 FAREWELL AND HAPPY RETIREMENT 4 6 9 10 CANSFIELD CHRONICLE 3
