After long discussions with the student council, they’ve decided that the 12th of December is Christmas Jumper/Culture Day with a non-uniform option. We’d really like to see all students in either a Christmas jumper over non-uniform, or something that represents their culture or celebrations as part of a non-uniform choice. Students might decide to dress in flag colours of a country they are connected to. We look forward to seeing students in celebratory clothes and colours as we join the national Christmas Jumper Day fundraising effort for Save The Children fund. Suggested donation is a pound; please pay what you can afford.

Dear parents and carers
Given the severe weather forecast for overnight, I'm taking the step of deciding today that Chaucer School will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 19th November 2024). Many students travel from across the city, and staff from further afield, and I must consider their safety. Even though many students could walk into school with heavy snow, I cannot guarantee there will be enough staff to run school safely.

We are looking forward to welcoming all students back to Chaucer on Tuesday, 3rd September 2024 at 8.30am. Students in Years 8, 9, 10 and 11 are to go directly to their form room.
All Year 7s are to go straight to the main hall when they arrive in school for 8:30am (similar to their transition days) and look for their allocated form tutor. The year team will be on hand to help anyone who does not know who their form tutor is. We are excited to see you all next week!
We are incredibly proud of the achievements of our Y11 students who collected their results today. The hard work put in by students, and staff and families in support, means that college places have been won, and bright futures begun. We're also proud to have improved our overall school results for the second year in a row, reflecting our improvement journey over time. Today though, is about the smiling faces, the happy tears, and the shrieks of delight from our students. Go forward with your successes with good heart, and make that next step a success. Well done all.
