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.

One of the things that can cause an interruption to your child’s study flow, is not having everything they need when they begin their period of study.

Making sure that your child gets adequate rest and sleep every night is essential for not only a healthy lifestyle but it also plays a major part in the learning process.
We were proud to welcome MP Gill Furniss to Chaucer today to tour the school and meet with some staff and students. We talked about the improvements seen at the school in the last couple of years, and about further developments in the pipeline. As an ex-student of Chaucer herself, Gill recognised a couple of corridors in school but mostly enjoyed seeing students working hard at learning, and being proud of the school. We look forward to welcoming Gill back for an event later in the year.

Tapton School Academy Trust - Online Safety Newsletters for December 2024.
After long discussions with the student council, they’ve decided that the 12th of December is Christmas Jumper/Culture Day with a non-uniform option. We’d really like to see all students in either a Christmas jumper over non-uniform, or something that represents their culture or celebrations as part of a non-uniform choice. Students might decide to dress in flag colours of a country they are connected to. We look forward to seeing students in celebratory clothes and colours as we join the national Christmas Jumper Day fundraising effort for Save The Children fund. Suggested donation is a pound; please pay what you can afford.

Dear parents and carers
Given the severe weather forecast for overnight, I'm taking the step of deciding today that Chaucer School will be closed tomorrow (Tuesday 19th November 2024). Many students travel from across the city, and staff from further afield, and I must consider their safety. Even though many students could walk into school with heavy snow, I cannot guarantee there will be enough staff to run school safely.
