Firstly – thank you for your support with the learning of all students in Year 11 this term. They began the year with a series of mock exams to help prepare them for the real ones in the summer. For more information please see the link below.
The count-down to the Christmas holidays has arrived, and we would like you all to celebrate with us. So, this month we will be running our Chaucer Advent Calendar for all students! Join us for festive events and spread some cheer, running every day!
Year 10 students have got the chance to watch one of their GCSE texts, Macbeth, at the Crucible in February 2026! They will be able to take part in a workshop where they will meet the actors and discuss the play before watching the production. If you are interested in coming, there are only 28 tickets so grab a letter from Miss McInnis in 221!

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!

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.

Every student at Chaucer will be given this equipment kit on Tuesday the 2nd of September.
From Wednesday the 3rd of September, we expect every child to be fully equipped every day. Students arriving at form time in the morning without a pen, pencil and ruler will receive a detention. Pens, pencils and rulers will be available to buy for 10p each at Student Services each morning.
We know that being ready to learn every day improves student ability to make progress, and we expect students to take responsibility for this.
