Learning at Chaucer
Learning Together, Achieving Together
Chaucer School’s performance is rapidly and continually improving. We place a very strong emphasis on achieving well in the subjects of English, Maths and Science. This is strongly aligned with our achievement at the Children’s University, with business partners and in sporting environments.
In addition, there is real, developing talent in Music, Art, Dance and Drama. This sits alongside our pride in exciting, practical learning in Technology and ICT, and our students’ increasing knowledge of the world – its history and cultures.
