Getting Ready for September

We hope you are enjoying the start of the summer holidays and making the most of the sunshine.

We will be sending out messages across the summer to help you be ready for the return to school in September, so please do keep an eye on the website and our social media.

It might help with some things if you start planning now:

Uniform

Please remember that we will be expecting students to be in full uniform from their return in September including blazers. Trousers, skirts and shirts are readily available from all local supermarkets but popular sizes can sell out quickly so please do plan ahead and give yourselves time to get what you need. You can order blazers and ties direct from our uniform supplier, School Trends at their website www.schooltrends.co.uk . It usually takes 3 to 4 weeks for blazers to arrive so the sooner you order the better.

PE Kit

If you have not yet ordered Chaucer branded PE kit then please ensure that your child has a plain white top and plain black bottoms for PE in the first instance. Chaucer branded PE kit can then be ordered direct from school on our return in September.

Footwear

Plain black footwear only please.

Equipment

students must provide their own basic equipment including pen, pencil, ruler, rubber etc. Basic equipment is also available from our school shop .We will be issuing planners which students must carry with them at all times so a school bag/rucksack is also essential.

In school Lateral Flow Testing

All students will be offered lateral flow testing in school on their return in September. This will consist of 2 tests on site which will then be followed by twice weekly testing at home. Testing kits will be provided from school. In order for your child to have access to the testing we require your permission, so please follow the link here https://forms.office.com/r/xXMp8zK1A4 and complete the online permission document.

Queries over the summer - Our school office is closed for the majority of the summer break but our enquiries email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. will be checked on a weekly basis, so please do email in with any questions or concerns and someone will respond to you.

We look forward to welcoming all students back on Monday 6th September 2021.

Best wishes for a lovely summer
