We were proud to welcome MP Gill Furniss to Chaucer today to tour the school and meet with some staff and students. We talked about the improvements seen at the school in the last couple of years, and about further developments in the pipeline. As an ex-student of Chaucer herself, Gill recognised a couple of corridors in school but mostly enjoyed seeing students working hard at learning, and being proud of the school. We look forward to welcoming Gill back for an event later in the year. 

On Wednesday 22nd January there will be a GCSE Options presentation in the main hall beginning at 4pm, 5pm and 6pm.

The presentation will explain the Options process for Year 9 students and parents/carers.

Lots of students say that music helps them to study or that they can't study without it, but let's look at what is happening to their brain when this is happening and if it actually helps at all. 

Friday 20th December 2024, Chaucer School will close to all students at 12.20pm.

Friday will be a non-uniform day for all students. Full expectations around non-uniform days can be found at https://www.chaucer.sheffield.sch.uk/uniform

Join us this week for fun-filled Festive activities! Starting tomorrow!
Please remember school will close at 12.20pm on Friday and all grab bags will need to be ordered at the main office by lunchtime on Thursday.

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. 

Having a designated study space in your house for your children to do their work away from school is really important.

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.

Year 11 Parents evening - Wednesday 4th December 2024
Booking is now available for Year 11 parents evening. You can book via MCAS or by calling the school office.

All appointments are face to face and are available from 4pm - 6.30pm.

We are letting you know that we will be talking about White Ribbon UK in school this month in preparation for White Ribbon Day on Monday 25th November. We will be undertaking activities that help students understand the attitudes and behaviours that encourage greater gender equality and challenge harmful attitudes that impede equality. White Ribbon is a global movement working towards ending violence against women and girls by engaging men and boys to stop it before it starts. You can find out more about White Ribbon UK at: www.whiteribbon.org.uk

As we return to school, I wanted to thank the staff, students, parents and carers who shared in and contributed to Black History Month with us, last month.
