On Saturday, 23 November 2019, a group of our U11A rugby boys travel to the Madejski Stadium in Reading to support London Irish RFC in a European Cup rugby match against Bayonne (France).
This visit was part of a wider day-trip organised for the boys by our U11A coach and Assistant Head, Mr Charles Lamprecht. Originally the team were due to start the day off in Windsor where they had planned to play a fixture against Mr Lamprecht’s previous school, St John’s Beaumont Prep School – a Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition. They would have enjoyed a tour of St John’s Beaumont, the oldest purpose-built preparatory school in the country and former junior school to Beaumont College, just a stone’s throw away from Runnymede where the Magna Carta was originally signed. Unfortunately, the fixture had to be cancelled due to water-logged pitches.
All was not lost, however as our Crackley Hall boys were still keen to attend the second part of the day, which was a bonus outing to watch a live professional rugby match. Safely sheltered from the rain, the boys were entertained in what was a ‘try-fest’. The highlight of the day was being chosen to be the guard of honour as the players made their way onto the sodden pitch. It goes without saying that London Irish gained a few fringe supporters on the day.
Our sincere appreciations go out to Mr Patrick Hennessy (Director of Sport at SJB) for his efforts in promoting communal Catholic links between our two schools, as well as London Irish RFC for hosting us and the parental supervision support offered on the day.
The boys certainly enjoyed themselves; laughing their heads off and bonding off the playing pitch is equally important to the development of our Crackley children who will, no doubt, take fond memories of the trip with them in the years to come.

On Thursday 28 November, Nursery, Reception and Junior 1 took the short trip over to the Warwick Arts Centre to watch Raymond Briggs’ Father Christmas.
It was a lovely adaption of the timeless children’s classic, Father Christmas. Full of merry touches and plenty of live music, songs and puppetry it was a perfect introduction to theatre.
All of the children enjoyed watching a slightly grumpy and curmudgeonly Father Christmas realise it is Christmas Eve and then set to work preparing for his Christmas deliveries, readying his reindeer and finally taking flight into the snowy night.
From the moment the lights went down the children were transfixed, and aside from the odd shout of ‘he’s stuck in the chimney’, all attending this special school’s performance remained quiet, which says something about just how mesmerising the show really was.
Huge thanks to all the staff and parents that accompanied the trip. It was a perfect prelude to our Crackley Christmas season!
Just to remind parents that next week Tuesday 3 December is the last week of Mad Science.
The club will start again on Tuesday 7 January 2020.
As we prepare for the Christmas season, we are pleased to tell you that our kitchen staff will be cooking a Christmas lunch for us all on Wednesday 11 December. This is always a jolly occasion and does bring out everybody's Christmas spirit!
As well as the traditional Christmas lunch, there will also be a vegetarian option and a delicious seasonal dessert.
If you child does not normally eat a hot dinner on this day, we will contact you separately.

As part of Christmas Jumper Day, the Student Council have created an extra (optional competition) that involves designing a Christmas jumper for Mr Duigan.
The £1 entry fee will be donated to Save the Children.
All entries must be created on an A4 piece of paper (with or without the template below) and should be handed to your form tutor by Friday 6 December.
There will be a small prize for the winner, which will be judged by Mr Cottrill (as voted by Student Council), on Christmas Jumper Day.
The date for this year's Christmas Jumper Day for Save the Children is Friday 13 December.
If children would like to participate, they should come to school in their usual uniform with a Christmas jumper in place of their school jumper.
All children wearing a Christmas jumper are asked to bring in a £1.00 donation for Save the Children.
