MS Readathon

Cross and Passion College are delighted to be taking part in the MS Readathon. You need to register your child as it can not be done at school. Please see instructions below. We really appreciate your time, support and encouragement in this. 

  1. You need 2 things
  1. Follow the link and complete registration for your child/children, at this point you can then select the school using the roll number (and then there will be an option to join a school/class/team - we are CPC Read-a-tonne)
  1. Once the child has been registered, they will then have their own fundraising page - they can then start fundraising – there are pre-written emails, social media tiles and links to the child’s page that are sent out from the child/adult asking for support from family and friends.

All the fundraising is done online, which means no collecting money when the campaign is over.

Students can log and review their favourite books, build their avatars and collect virtual badges and awards. There are also some amazing prizes to be won along the way too. There are also downloadable resources.


This is a great opportunity for students to engage in reading whether it is to re-ignite their love of reading or indeed discover it. If you join your local library you can download "Borrowbox" and download many new and old titles from your library.

Sports Day Cancelled

As you know we have had a considerable amount of rain in recent days and with more on the way this evening we are erring on the side of caution and cancelling our planned sports day event. This was a difficult decision to make, the sports day is a great whole school event enjoyed by all but safety must always come first. Unfortunately we feel the courts and pitches will be in a sub optimal condition for hosting such a large scale event. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
