In September we celebrated Roald Dahl Day with a with a number of fun and engaging activities linked to his famous works. There was a fabulous display all week in our Learning Resource Centre, and members of the senior team read Roald Dahl extracts to our Year 7 students. September also saw a number of our Year 10 students win The Young Careers Challenge at Cranfield University, which was a fantastic achievement. Charlie Addison, Abigail Atkins, Louise Evans and Aaron Kedzierski, completed their winning project titled ‘How to Make a Home Sustainable’ It was a tremendous success. The past term has seen us develop our ‘Personal Best’ curriculum for all our Key Stage 3 students, and we successfully launched new sporting initiatives including fencing, tennis and karate. We have some seriously sporty students who have relished the opportunity to actively participate in new activities. At Chalk Hills we have developed a strong focus on charity, and acting selflessly. November saw us raise money for Macmillan Cancer Research through hosting a coffee morning attended by parents, staff and governors.
