• Happy Autumn Half-term!

  Fri 23 Oct 2026

  Wishing all members of our Childwall Abbey School community a very happy half-term holiday. Well done to everyone for great attendance and some amazing work over the past weeks.

  When we return, we will be very busy! Our Year 11s will have mock exams. We plan more coffee mornings so we can welcome our lovely parents and carers. There will also be a lot of opportunities for Learning Outside the Classroom. Our Parents evenings take place in November and after that, we will be preparing for our Christmas celebrations.

  Relax and enjoy the break.

  We welcome pupils back to school on Monday 2nd November 2026.

• Year 7 Parents/Carers Coffee Morning

  Wed 30 Sep 2026 Cath Piercy

  We are really looking forward to welcoming all Year 7 parents and carers who are able to join us on Friday 2nd October between 9.30am and 10.30 am for an informal get together over a cuppa. This is a great opportunity to find out about how your child's first few weeks at C.A.S. have gone and celebrate some of their first experiences with us. Our wonderful Sixth-formers will be there to welcome you and provide refreshments.

  (For parents/carers who may not be able to join us, form staff are always happy to hear from you and can arrange a catch-up if required.)

• Sports Day Cancelled - Friday

  Wed 08 Jul 2026

  Due to the forecast of very hot weather, we have taken the decision to cancel Sports Day on Friday.

  The health, safety and wellbeing of our pupils, staff and visitors is our priority, and the expected temperatures mean it would not be safe to hold the event.

  Unfortunately, Sports Day will not be rearranged. With similarly high temperatures forecast for the final week of term, we are unable to identify a suitable alternative date.

  Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

• Keeping children cool in hot weather

  Wed 24 Jun 2026

  The current warm spell is a good reminder of the importance of staying safe in hot weather. To help families prepare, we have shared this poster, which contains useful advice on hydration, sun safety and keeping children cool during periods of high temperatures.

• Water Safety Statement

  Tue 23 Jun 2026

  During periods of hot weather, the risk of drowning can increase in children and young people. The Water Safety Code is intended to raise awareness and educate children in water safety and lifesaving skills. Please ensure that you speak to your child(ren) about the potential dangers of swimming, especially without supervision and in areas without lifeguards.
