Tapton School Academy Trust - Online Safety Newsletter for December.
Dear Parents and Carers
We've reached a stage at Chaucer School where the time is right to update our behaviour systems and processes. I know from meeting with families, from listening to parent voice that we receive in person and online, from listening to students and from listening to staff, that the changes we are making are both sensible and desired as we move forwards in our journey of improvement for Chaucer School.
In response to the ‘cost of living crisis’, Sheffield City Council has created a package of support for anyone facing financial hardship. Please see the links below for information from Sheffield City Council.

Tapton School Academy Trust - Online Safety Newsletter for November.
Headteachers Letter October 2022
We are disappointed by the outcome of the Chaucer School Ofsted inspection and do not feel that the report takes into account the full impact that the pandemic has had on our school and community.
In a monitoring visit in March 2020 Ofsted found the school to be taking effective action in order for the school to become good. Covid-19 then caused two years of significant disruption to education, and hardship within the community.
Our priority throughout this time has been the safety and welfare of everyone involved with our school and we are extremely proud of our students, staff and families for the resilience that they have shown.
We will continue on our journey for excellence together at Chaucer School, and in our mission to realise the life chances and dreams of all our students.
David Dennis (CEO, TSAT), Scott Burnside (Director of Secondary Education, TSAT) and Joanna Crewe (Headteacher, Chaucer School) – September 2022.
Chaucer School will be closed on Monday 19th September 2022 along with all schools as a mark of respect for the State Funeral of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II which will be a national bank holiday.
The Department for Education has advised that for all school's normal attendance is expected through the National Mourning period.
We thank you all in advance for your support.

Being on time for school is a really important part of being successful. Please see the letter below for more information around the importance of students arriving on time.
A lifetime of dedicated service to our country, Tapton School Academy Trust is deeply saddened by the news of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. Her impact was and still is felt by people in many ways. Her kindness, duty, dignity, leadership and how she approached her role, are inspirational. Our thoughts are with her family at this time.
Tapton School Academy Trust - Online Safety Newsletter for September.
Welcome to the start of 2022-23, in which we have a huge number of plans to take our school on a real journey of improvement. Our guiding principle is ‘We are first class’ and that means we won’t accept anything less than first class practice to give your children a first-class education.
We hope you all have a great weekend; we look forward to welcoming ALL students at 8.30am on Monday 5th of September in full school uniform, ready to start the new school year.
Students and staff at Tapton School Academy Trust celebrate GCSE success
Following years of unprecedented disruption to their education, students at Bradfield, Chaucer, Forge Valley and Tapton secondary schools received their GCSE grades today.
Dear Parents and Carers
We come to the last week of term, and I must thank you first of all for working with us through yet another national crisis – this time the heat. Hopefully this will be a rare occasion, but students did conduct themselves sensibly and safely while in school during the heatwave.
Results day this year is scheduled for Thursday 25th August. For the last two years, Covid
restrictions have meant that students were invited in individually at a specified time.
However, we are now able to revert back to our normal way of working. This means students
can come to collect results in person at any time between 10am and 12 noon on the day.
Please note that Chaucer is closed on Friday 22nd July, school breaks up for the summer on Thursday 21st July at 12 noon, FSM students are able to order in advance and collect grab bag lunches before they leave school site, many thanks
Tuesday 12th July is Chaucer School Sports Day. All students should attend in Chaucer PE kit, and also bring a refillable water bottle, a hat, and sun cream. Students will spend much of their day outside.
This guide will help you set up parental controls to provide your child with a safer online environment.

As part of our ongoing efforts to maximise attendance to school, we are making a slight change to how we operate the registers in the morning. This change is to ensure as many children as possible are in the building, learning, and opening as many doors as possible to bright futures.
