We are delighted to have set up a new partnership with a school in Ukraine, offering our students the opportunity to connect with their Ukrainian peers on a project that celebrates the joy of reading. Through the British Council’s UK-Ukraine School Partnerships programme, which is funded by the UK Government, we’ve teamed up with Mukachevo Specialised school No.4. Together, we’ll explore how reading can broaden horizons, build confidence, and enhance mental wellbeing.
Let's all celebrate the festival of Holi together!
This coming Friday marks the Hindu festival of Holi which celebrates colour, love and the arrival of Spring. Students can wear something brightly coloured as part of the uniform, such as coloured socks, a hat, hair bobbles etc. We are also doing Henna art in the Art department over both lunches! Come along and try out some Henna this Friday!
Spring: Holi marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring.
Love: Holi celebrates the love between the Hindu deities Radha and Krishna.
Good over evil: Holi commemorates the victory of Vishnu as Narasimha over Hiranyakashipu.

The brain can only focus deeply and concentrate for a short period of time before it becomes fatigued. Therefore, the longer a child studies for without a break, the more inefficient they become.
Chaucer school has supported all students with the ability to loan uniform where it has been missing since September this academic year. All students have had a significant amount of time whilst being supported to ensure they have their own uniform and are wearing it to school each day.
