  • Weekly Newsletter 2018-2019 8Th February 2019 – Term 2 - Week 6
    Weekly Newsletter 2018-2019 8th February 2019 – Term 2 - Week 6 AN INSPIRATIONAL WEEK Weekly Message from Mrs Key Educating a child is more than just learning formal curriculum subjects. This week we have supported MIND with their campaign ‘Time To Talk’, highlighting the importance of wellbeing and good mental health. We have encouraged students to speak about this important issue. It is shocking to hear that most people with anxiety and mental health issues wait up to a year before talking to someone at home, school or a friend. On our website you will find useful information on aspects of wellbeing: http://www.chaileyschool.org/parents-and- students/student-wellbeing-and-support-services/ Year 11 Intervention Evening Our Year 11 students are well on their way to preparing for GCSE season which is now only a matter of weeks away. I would urge every Year 11 parent and student to attend our ‘Intervention Evening’ on Wednesday 13th February at 6pm. During the evening we will not only talk about the preparations towards exams but also have stalls covering: Mindfulness Stress Management Mental Energy Fitness Revision Timetables Parents—how they can help with revision Science Revision Nutrition Sleep Revision Apps and Log-ins Uniform and Jewellery We are pleased with the way girls have responded to our tougher sanctions on rolled-up skirts. However, we are now more aware of the minority who have a skirt that is too short. For information, our skirt should not be worn shorter than a credit cards length above the knee. Next week we will write to parents where the skirt is too short and ask you to buy a suitable length skirt.

    Weekly Newsletter 2018-2019 15th February 2019 – Term 2 - Week 7 A WEEK OF SUCCESSES Weekly Message from Mrs Key We were delighted with our local news coverage in the Sussex Express last Friday 8th February. An extract is copied below if you didn’t get a chance to read it: Schools Rated ‘Well Above Average’ Chailey School and the Beacon Academy in Crowborough have both been judged ‘well above average’ in the latest school league tables. Secondary schools are now measured by the progress pupils make during their time at the school in eight subjects - a mark known at Progress 8. East Sussex achieved a mark of 0.03 which is just above average. The national average is -0.02. For Attainment 8 - the actual grades pupils score aged 16 the average across England is 44.5 with East Sussex getting 45.2. Chailey School and the Beacon Academy along with St Richard’s Catholic College in Bexhill were the three East Sussex schools which gained the ‘well above average’ mark.” See clipping of full article on the next page. This week has been exceptionally busy for Year 11 students; the real countdown to GCSEs has begun. Our Food Preparation and Nutrition students have been doing their practical assessment. I have been really impressed with the professional standard of many of the dishes prepared. Our Intervention Evening for Year 11 on Wednesday was a real success with many staff giving up an evening to support students with their preparations for GCSE Exams. We ran stalls on sleep, nutrition, anxiety, mindfulness and well-being as well as providing practical information about revision.
