ARTIST OF THE MONTH - JANUARY 2026
PHOEBE LE GRYS (8 ROWAN)
Year Eight students have completed their drawing project in Art and, to demonstrate the skills they have developed over the course, have produced some amazing portrait drawings.
Phoebe has created a particularly outstanding final piece, showing a strong understanding of proportion and careful attention to detail in the key features of the face.
Her use of tone and the softness of her pencil work have resulted in a truly impressive drawing. Phoebe received a Gold Award, a Chauncy Art Pack, and her work is on display in the Headteacher's office. Well done, Phoebe.

A huge thank you to Harry for sharing his expertise, and well done to the girls for their fantastic effort and enthusiasm.

STEP INTO THE NHS
The Step into the NHS competition introduces students to more than 350 NHS careers, inspiring and motivating them to fulfil their potential, whatever their interests and skills.
KS3 pupils are challenged to create a job advertisement showcasing one NHS role of their choice. The advert must highlight the key responsibilities of the role, as well as any relevant qualifications, skills, and experience.
Year 7 and 8 Chauncy students have thoroughly enjoyed taking part in the competition as part of their art homework. They have been fascinated to discover some of the lesser-known NHS roles, including falconry, emergency medical dispatcher, clinical coder, and many more.
Students have produced a wide range of creative outcomes, including sculpture, painting, drawing, collage, and video entries.
