We had our last full day on the farm today, and it might have been the best yet!
The sun has been shining. We ate French toast and dippy eggs for breakfast (thank you, Dillon, Lexi, Cain and Lilly!) We were very productive weighing the lambs, building a fence and collecting eggs.
Ashley, Drew and Ezekiel made us a delicious lunch!
Tonight we are looking forward to a campfire and tasty dinner made by Lexi.
See you all soon!
Today was adventure day! We did our jobs as usual this morning and ate some delicious pancakes made by Sienna, Rane and Ezekiel.
This afternoon we went to the border with Wales to go on an adventure hike. Everyone was very strong and managed the whole way! We got to eat tasty cookies on our way made by Lilly and Cain, thanks guys!
Updates from the farm!
We have had a fantastic day in the sunshine doing lots of different jobs.
Ashley, Drew and Charlene made us a fantastic cooked breakfast. Lexi and Dillon made us pizza for lunch.
Ezekiel bravely made friends with lots of animals. There was a lot of sheep drama, but they all made it to the right place in the end. Well done team!
We all had a lot of fun on the walk this evening too.
We have had a fantastic first afternoon on the farm!

Every student at Chaucer will be given this equipment kit on Tuesday the 2nd of September.

We know that being ready to learn every day improves student ability to make progress, and we expect students to take responsibility for this.
We hope you have all had a wonderful summer holiday so far.

Students at Chaucer School are celebrating receiving their GCSE results Students and staff at Chaucer School located on Wordsworth Avenue and part of INOVA Multi-Academy Trust, are celebrating today as they receive their GCSE grades.
The Academy is proud to report a year of strong results, which reflect students’ hard work, ambition and the supportive environment they receive. The overall Attainment 8 figure shows that students received improved grades in their 8 best subjects compared to last year – continuing Chaucer’s trend in recent years of more and more students passing more and more subjects.
Most subjects showed an increase in grades 4 and above, with French, Art, BTEC Sport, Health and Social Care and Photography doing over 20% better than previously, and Geography, History, Business, IT and Catering more than 10% improved.
Joanna Crewe, Headteacher at Chaucer School, said:
“We’re really pleased to see yet another set of improved results for our students. Chaucer students in Year 11 this year improved their attendance, their behaviour, and we knew that improved results would be their reward. I’m proud of how many more students can now go on to their chosen Post 16 destinations with successes under their belt. Thank you to the students for their hard work and commitment, and to their families for supporting us to support them. All staff are proud of how far Year 11 have come, and how much of a difference our work with them has made.”
Y11s - on GCSE results day you can get support in school from staff, including the careers adviser, but if you need support you can also contact the Sheffield GCSE results helpline open 1pm to 5pm Monday to Friday normally and extended hours of 8.30am to 5pm on GCSE results day and the following day (21st and 22nd August).
Just a reminder to all Year 11 leavers. Chaucer School will be open from 9.30am to 11.30am tomorrow, Thursday 21st August 2025, to collect your exam results. Good luck to you all!
