include up to three players over the age of 21 within their match day squads.
Fixtures will take place on grass pitches on Wednesday evenings at Cutteslowe

Oxfordshire FA will source FA qualified Referees to officiate
matches and ensure that pitches are booked. However, teams will be asked to
complete a weekly team sheet and pay a £30 match fee for each game.
If the league proves a
success and there is enough interest from clubs wishing to enter teams, the intention of the Oxfordshire FA is to continue the offer of U21 football into next season, 2016-17.
To enter the summer league please complete the online
registration form and
arrange to make a £30 payment with Oxfordshire FA to secure your place by Wednesday

I MUST see the following groups today:
Zita's Group
Tom Downes Group

Y12 Classical Civilisation this week
This term we will be focusing on the two Roman modules on the Class Civ examination syllabus, and we are lucky that on Thursday 9th June, from 5 - 5.30pm, Adam Parker, Roman archaeologist and the Assistant Curator
of Archaeology at the Yorkshire Museum, is coming to Cheney to deliver a community talk.
He will be speaking about the archaeology of magic in Roman Britain. His presentation will introduce how people protected themselves from bad luck, demons and the Evil Eye by using magical objects, lucky jewellery, spells, chants, and sexual imagery in the first to fourth centuries AD.
Therefore instead of usual our Wednesday lesson, I would really like Y12 Class Civ students to attend this talk, which will the perfect start to our term on Roman beliefs and society.
The talk will be in L14 from 5 - 5.30pm this Thursday followed by drinks. I hope that most of you will be able to make this - please come and find me to let me know if you're not able to attend.
Many thanks!

EU Referendum - 23 June
As you are all aware the UK is deciding whether or not to stay in the EU. The referendum is being held on Thursday 23 June. If you are 18, you are eligible to vote, and I encourage to do so.
If you are not already registered to vote you have until tomorrow (7th June) to register. If you do not register you will not be able to vote. Registering is really easy and it starts by following this link:
http://bitetheballot.co.uk/home/register/
For those of you that are not yet 18, I encourage you to still get involved with politics and learn how it effects you. From the age of 16 you can register to vote, this means that when you reach 18 the ball is already rolling.
To find out more about ways to get involved in Politics but also to understand how it effects not only the nation as a whole but your everyday life visit this website: http://bitetheballot.co.uk/.

Resources on Year 13 Chemistry blog
Year 13 Chemists,
As requested I have uploaded the redox equation practice Q and my answers. Also you are apparently missing the last set of answers to the analysis past paper questions - check the Yr 13 blog now to find these.
Hope your revision is going well! You have been very lucky to have such miserable weather, I hate revising when it's sunny outside.
Miss Rayment
