So, the start of another school year. The weather has typically become summer-like as soon as the children return to school. It was lovely to see all the Year 3 children so smartly turned out in their uniforms. We have been inundated with last minute orders and are hoping to get these turned around as soon as possible.The first CJS Buzz was sent out last week and this contained a list of all

It was lovely to see so many new faces at last night's intake evening. We hope you found it informative and if you have any comments or questions, please feel free to post them here.Sports Day had to be cancelled today due to the bad weather but will hopefully go ahead next Friday. Have a great weekend!

Last posting today... just to say that I'm amazed at how many parents are using email to get in touch with us these days. I always try and acknowledge emails sent to the school admin or info accounts, so that you know that they've been read/actioned. If you've got something urgent to say or need an answer on, if you don't get a response within 24 hours, please get in touch, as it may mean that

The school website is under reconstruction and we'd like to thank you all for bearing with us during the transfer from 'old' to 'new'. I hope you'll be pleased with the new design, as our ICT Technican, Edward Proudler, has been working hard on this for some time now. Information is being migrated and some of the exiting pages will need updating, but in the meantime, if there's anything that

I can't believe it's that time of the year again - it only seems five minutes ago that the children were putting on Guys and Dolls - and what a show that was! This year Miss Fogg is busy directing Disney's Aladdin Jr. with performances for parents on 27th & 28th March. As I've only been involved on the administration side of things, I can't wait to come along and watch the performances. The

The CJS Challenge Club is online at www.cjschallengeclub.blogspot.com and is a blog designed by Miss Fogg with our Gifted and Talented pupils in mind.It is an attempt for children to have a try at E-Learning - the setting of challenges online. Although designed with children in mind, they may need a little help from an adult in the first instance to set up a user name and password.The idea is to

The following letter was sent to Derby City Council’s Streetcare department by one of our concerned parents:-“I'm writing to request that the 'clean up after your dog' signs are re-painted on the Flatts paths near Chellaston Infant and Junior schools. These were painted there whilst my son was at the infant school (probably around 2003) however when the path was widened and re-surfaced in the

IntroductionThis report is for parents’ information. It is a summary of a detailed report presented to governors and staff in September 2006. The first section deals with performance in years 3-5. The children are tested using government tests that are recommended for each year group. Tests give teachers a national curriculum level. This is compared to levels achieved in previous years’ tests.

Mr Graham Pegg will be leaving us at the end of the autumn term after teaching at Chellaston Junior School for over 31 years. Graham’s retirement marks the end of a very long and special association with CJS and he will be greatly missed by us all. He has been a loyal, caring and dedicated member of our teaching staff who has had responsibility, at different times, for many curriculum areas. In

This was posted by a parent in the Guest Book and I thought it was worth drawing attention to it here:-"Instead of inviting all parents in each year group to join their child for a dinner but limiting it to 15-18 parents, why not do it like at the Infants. They have 13 dates in the year, one for each class, rather than per whole year group. Usually 4-10 parents turn up from each class on each

Last night was intake evening for parents of children who will be joining us in September. It’s an exciting time of the year - a mix of anticipation and excitement as we prepare for the year 2s, with a twinge of sadness as we see the year 6s prepare for their leavers’ evening and make visits to their respective secondary schools. Sometimes it means saying goodbye to parents who’ve had several

On Sunday several members of staff are taking part in the Race for Life at Darley Park. This is the UK’s biggest women-only fundraising event and involves a short (did I say short?) 5km walk or run to raise funds for Cancer Research UK. I'm sure there'll be lots of parents and girls from school taking part as well - so wish us luck and here's to raising lots of money for Cancer Research UK.

Following the skipping workshop that visited school, 160 children have signed up to take part in an in-school skipping challenge. The children have been divided into eight teams and will skip for 5 minutes each week. There will be awards to boy/girl in each year that have skipped the most and also to the winning team! Hopefully we will have some very fit children at the end of it!

Today we said goodbye and good luck to our ICT Technician, Sarah Humphreys. Sarah has been with us almost 5 years and I can't begin to imagine how many new aspects of ICT she's been involved with during that time (even this week she was in Cromford class demonstrating the new Qwizdom devices).

I have been asked whether it would be possible to set up a message board where parents can post comments on a particular topic. This is an experimental message board and is on the subject of School Dinners. To take part, please follow the link on the left of this page. Please let me know if there are any other subjects that you would like a message board to discuss.

My questionnaire is now accessible via the school website http://www.cjs.derby.sch.uk/questionnaire.doc and can be emailed back to me at admin@cjs.derby.sch.uk. Although it is addressed to CJS parents, I am also interested in other people's opinions too, so if anyone wishes to complete the questionnaire, please do so. Many thanks to those of you who have already completed the paper

Wishing everyone a very happy, healthy and peaceful New Year. Did you make any new year's resolutions? My only one is to make sure I graduate this year and with three more modules to complete before 22nd May, I need to stay focused so that I will hopefully reach my goal (albeit 20+ years later than my peers!)I am about to start collecting data for my research project, which means producing a

Wow! We raised over £2,000 on Saturday - that is fantastic. Thanks everyone for your support. It certainly seemed hectic from where I was standing in the hall. Santa left a note to say over 100 children had been to tell him how good they have been this year, so he's off to start wrapping up their presents ready for his travels on Christmas Eve!Speaking of Christmas, check out these websites for

Welcome to my blog. I am a parent of two children at the school and a Governor, technically a Local Education Authority governor.Why be a governor? What does it mean? What do I do? Does it matter? What do I believe in? And mostly what do I bring to school?It's a mixture of things. I have four children, two still at school. My experience of education, as others, comes from my own experiences at

We are taking part in an initiative to improve the way the school communicates with parents, and we hope that with your support, we will make it work. As you can appreciate we need to send you lots of information about your child, their class and the school in general, throughout the year.We will shortly be able to send text messages to parents’ mobile phones directly from the school’s management

The role of Learning Mentor is to help children to overcome barriers to learning through one-to-one contact, group work and regular contact with families.I am not a teacher or teaching assistant. I hope to work with children for a set time until they have overcome their problem. Sometimes children will ask to see me to talk about something that is worrying them, other times their teacher might

Many thanks to all the parents of year 5 pupils who attended Meet the Teacher Night last night. It was a really useful night to match parents with pupils and to discuss their progress. It would be great to speak to those parents who were unable to come at some time in the future. Please don't hesitate to contact the office to make an appointment at a mutually convenient time.Thanks

We hope you found it informative and that the session enabled you to ask any questions you may have had regarding the strategies we use in school.

After long awaited anticipation, drama rehearsals for Guys and Dolls will start on Thursday 29th September at 7.45am in the school hall. Please can parents refrain from driving into the school car park or using the gate area as a turning place, as this is a very busy time for staff arriving at school and congestion has almost caused accidents in the past!
