In light of the recent cases of invasive meningococcal disease reported in Kent, Sheffield public health services are reminding parents and carers about the importance of ensuring children and young people are up to date with routine vaccinations.

For secondary school and sixth form-aged students, we are particularly highlighting the importance of the MenACWY vaccine, which protects against four strains of meningococcal bacteria (A, C, W and Y) that can cause meningitis and sepsis. Young people this age should also have their Td/IPV vaccine (teenage booster which reinforces protection against tetanus, diphtheria and polio), and their HPV vaccine (which protects against human papillomavirus, a virus that can lead to several types of cancer).

Please see the link below for our newsletter from our Headteacher, Mrs Crewe, which includes some important dates for your diaries. 

We hope you all have a restful February half-term and look forward to welcoming all students back to school on Monday 23rd February 2026.

All learning at Chaucer School is important, but to be recognised with AQA qualifications can be the icing on the cake. Over the last academic year, 141 students completed either Bike Maintenance, Horticulture, Furniture Restoration, or Tiling and Bricklaying sessions with Mr Wriggleworth as part of internal alternative provision sessions over 8 weeks. 

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!

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.
