Chipping Campden School Alumni

We recently caught up with alumna Alice Jones (2005–2010).

Alice played a key role in coordinating our Class of 2010/12 reunion last December and also returned in March to speak with students about her journey since leaving CCS, sharing valuable insights and inspiration from her experiences.

We are always looking for alumni who would like to support and inspire our current students. Whether through mentoring, speaking opportunities, careers advice, your involvement can make a real difference.

Interested in getting involved? Get in touch via the alumni webpage (https://campden.school/alumni/) to find out how you can support the next generation of CCS students.

Well done to four of our Year 12 Economics students who recently took part in the Caring for the Cotswolds small grants scheme run by .
Our students formed a youth panel and worked alongside representatives from CNL to review a range of grant applications supporting nature, local communities and climate action. Together, they helped approve grants totalling approximately £30,000.
A fantastic opportunity for students to engage with real decision-making and make a positive impact within the local community. Thank you to Cotswolds National Landscape for making this opportunity available to Chipping Campden School.

✨ What do you remember most about your last few days or weeks at school?
✨ Any traditions, moments, or memories that have stayed with you?
✨ What advice or tips would you share with our current Year 11s and 13s as they head into exams and their next chapter?
Let’s build a thread of memories, support, and inspiration for our current students 💬

I am honoured to be on the front cover of Blues Matters Magazine this Month!!!

Go and check out my most honest interview to date about my new record, setting up my record label and the struggles I’ve had with suffering from Crohn's disease. I am so proud to be featured in the magazine and I’m super proud of my new record. At times I didn’t think I could get though recording process I felt that ill. What a journey my solo album has taken me on so far… here’s what the magazine has to say…

The emotional weight behind On My Own comes from Jones’ long battle with Crohn’s Disease. He was first diagnosed as a teenager and has lived with it for nearly 20 years, but the past few years have been especially difficult. He lost weight, struggled with inflammation, and, at times hit a frightening low point. “There were times I thought I was going to die” he says. “I thought, I’m not dying with this music in me. The music helped me progress and get better, and it encouraged me that if I could get better, I could play these songs live”.

“This feels like a milestone in his career, turning a different corner that I’m sure will lead him down new roads. It’s a journey I want to be part of, Bravo” - Stephen Harrison (Blues Matters)

It’s always great to see what our alumni are getting up to, and we'd love to share this fantastic effort from former students Will Groves (2017-2022) and Tom Oram (2018-2025).

What an incredible opportunity for current students at CCS in the coming years.

It prompted a bit of reflection — alumni, which school trips do you remember most?

Whether it was a residential, an overseas visit, or a memorable day trip, it would be great to hear which experiences stayed with you and why.

Please do share your memories below!

We are delighted to be partnering with Camps International once again to offer students an incredible opportunity to take part in a 4-week expedition to Ecuador in Summer 2028.
Students will contribute to meaningful and sustainable projects, as well as experience the unique environment of the Galápagos Islands – a truly life-changing adventure.
Join us for a Parent Information Evening on Wednesday 29th April at 6pm in the PAC, where you will hear all about the expedition, fundraising and how to get involved.
We look forward to sharing more about this exciting opportunity soon.
