Last week over 60 Year 7 History students had a fantastic day trip to York. In the morning the students attended the Grand Opera House Theatre, where they watched the 'Horrible Histories - The Terrible Tudors'. This was a brilliant performance and was lovely to see the students having so much fun. In the afternoon we visited York Castle Museum, where the students enjoyed stepping back in time, walking down a Victorian Street, and looking in the Victorian shops. We ended our day with a whistle-stop tour of historic York, where students could see some of the most famous landmarks of the historic city. It was a wonderful day out and the students were a real asset to CJCA, demonstrating our values and expectations at all times.

CJCA students competed recently in a Business and Language Competition at Leeds University, where their business idea was pitched in Portuguese to a judging panel. A brilliant day was had by all, with special praise for the students answering questions back to the panel in Portuguese.
