Welcome to Chaucer School
Further to the government announcement on Monday 4th January at 8.00pm, Chaucer School will remain open for vulnerable children and the children of critical workers only. All other students should access home learning remotely following their own timetable in the first instance. Resources are available in each subject folder for each year group. Should students be unable to access home learning remotely in particular due to lack of equipment or connectivity then please do contact your child’s form tutor in the first instance, if contact has not been made with you this week. Parents/carers who are critical workers and wish to seek a place for their child in school should complete the online form here. As always we will continue to keep you informed as soon as we are aware of any changes and/or developments and we thank you for your continued support and patience in these ever changing and complex times. |
Message from the Headteacher to KS4 Students and Parents
Dear Students/Parents
Yesterday (Thursday 14 January) we launched our new developments to our remote education delivery, with assemblies for Year 10 and Year 11 on how online ‘live events’ lessons would work.
An email invitation was sent to all students however unfortunately we have discovered that an issue within the Microsoft package meant that not all invitations were sent out through the system. This issue has been reported to Microsoft for fixing.
This means that some students did not receive the invite and therefore did not receive important information for Monday.
To make sure students have the information, we did record it and therefore your child will receive another email link to the assembly. Please make sure they do watch the recording so they know what to do on Monday.
Thank you for your support with this and can I particularly thank parents who highlighted this issue to us.
Stay safe, take care and best wishes, Chaucer
Online Learning Update 15th January 2021
Please CLICK HERE to read the latest letter to parents regarding live lessons and home study.
We are looking forward to starting the live lessons with Years 10 & 11 on Monday 18th January. Staff have been working hard to prepare lessons to deliver in this way and students have been very engaged with their tutors and Year Leaders about what it will look and feel like from Monday. We are keen that every student engages with their learning and will be contacting you where students do not attend lessons. This might mean a number of phone calls to you as parents/carers if your child does not register for lessons, so apologies in advance if this is the case, but please do encourage and support your child to access their learning.
Key stage 3 students will move to this way of learning from Monday 25th January and more information will be shared with them and parents during next week. For the week commencing Monday 18th January they should continue to access their work remotely.
As always thank you for your enormous support through these challenging times as we all work together to ensure the best possible education for your young people.
