We have just been informed that Ofsted will be inspecting Chaucer School on Tuesday 25th and Wednesday 26th February 2025. Please see more information regarding the inspection in the links below.
We would like to thank all students and staff for their hard work this half term. We hope you all have a good break, and we will see you back on Monday 24th February 2025 at 8.30am.
As this half term draws to a close and we start to look forward to some better weather, I wanted to update you on some developments at Chaucer School that will affect your children from next half term.
We would like to welcome all Year 11 students to our revision sessions which will be held over the February half-term. Please see dates and times below for the sessions.
A message from the School Aged Immunisation Service:
We’ve already visited your school, and to ensure all students who wish to receive the HPV vaccination, we’ve organised a drop-in clinic during the half-term break and outside of school hours.
Retrieval Practice is a powerful study tool that is important in the act of revision. It helps strengthen memory by pulling information out of your head rather than cramming information in.

Please see the attached letter to Parents and Carers from the Sheffield Children’s Services Early Years, Education and Skills.
Dear Parents/Carers of Year 9 students,
We will attend school to vaccinate Y9 students for the Booster dose of DTP Diphtheria, Tetanus & Polio along with Meningococcal ACWY. We will also offer the HPV Human Papilloma Vaccine if they did not receive this in Y8.
Please copy this link https://www.sheffieldchildrensvaccinations.co.uk/Forms/DTP to complete the consent form for DTP and MENACWY. The option to consent or decline the vaccinations is at the end of the questionnaire so please complete this even if you do not want your child to have the vaccinations.
Please copy this link https://www.sheffieldchildrensvaccinations.co.uk/Forms/HPV to complete the consent form for HPV, but only if your child did not have HPV last year.
If you consented for HPV last year but your child did not get vaccinated, we will vaccinate them using the consent submitted last year.

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.
