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.
