CHAUNCY ADVENT CALENDAR - DAY 19
The Chauncy Advent Calendar looks back at just some of the wonderful things that have taken place since January.
-------
Day 19
In November students from year 10 and 11 headed to northern France for a cultural visit as part of their GCSE studies. They did all kinds of activities and spoke a lot of French.
CHRISTMAS JUMPER DAY - FRIDAY 19TH DECEMBER 2025
RAISING MONEY FOR SAVE THE CHILDREN & THE PRESIDENT'S SPORTING CLUB
We will be holding a Christmas jumper \ non-uniform day on the last day of term, Friday 19th December 2025.
Students and staff should pay a minimum of £1.00 to wear a Christmas jumper or other non-uniform. This is a voluntary contribution.
NO NEW JUMPERS NEEDED - We are aware of the rapidly rising prices and cost of living worries, so wear a Christmas jumper if you have one, decorate an ordinary jumper if you don't, or just wear non-uniform on the day.
Payment must be via Wisepay, and all proceeds will go to Save The Children and The President's Sporting Club (an organisation that raises money to provide sporting opportunities for young disabled people).
You will find the payment option within the SHOP module of Wisepay. If you have trouble logging in please e-mail accounts@chauncy.org.uk
For further information about these important charities, please visit: www.savethechildren.org.uk/

🎄✨ CELEBRATING TEN DAY OF CHRISTMAS LUNCHES✨🎄
Over the past 10 days, our amazing canteen team has served around 1,000 people with a wonderful Christmas Lunch. Service was always with a smile.
Today, it was the turn of the staff to enjoy their Christmas lunch and it did not disappoint!
A huge thank you to Helen and her brilliant team for making the Christmas lunches so special for everyone. Your hard work is very much appreciated. 🎄
8En3 WAR PROJECT
Today year 8 showcased their excellent research projects which they eloquently explained to the class and visitors; we had interesting tales of family members who fought in WW2, heroic nurses from WW1 and even some remembrance cake! Well done 8En3.
FRAN DE FEO
ENGLISH DEPARTMENT
8N and 8E2 presented their War Projects today with Ms Higgins. An incredible amount of time, effort and expertise were on show as students presented on topics of their choice - we visited Anderson shelters, experienced the horrors of the trenches, and even got in a round of War Leader Top Trumps! Well done to everyone, you all worked so hard to bring these impactful moments to life.
CHAUNCY CHRISTMAS LUNCH - DAY 9
On Wednesday, the canteen served up their 9th day of Christmas dinners… and possibly their millionth Brussels sprout!
11 Maple, Oak, Pine, Rowan and Willow all sat down together to enjoy a full Christmas dinner, great food, and even better company. The hall looked absolutely splendid and full of festive cheer.
A truly lovely lunchtime celebration to get everyone into the Christmas spirit
RFL WRITING WORKSHOP
Our English Language sixth formers enjoyed an insightful day at the British Library.
We attended an RFL Writing Workshop which was led by author and journalist Marianne Kavanagh (Guardian, Tatler, Telegraph). We thoroughly enjoyed the workshop and tour. Our students were highly praised for their responses to the various tasks and willingness to debate ideas.

A TALE AS OLD AS TIME
Lily-May Hewitt-Makin, year 9, is currently appearing in Beam’s pantomime Beauty and the Beast, and she is thoroughly enjoying every moment… oh yes she is! ðŸŽâœ¨
The pantomime runs until 4th January and is fantastic fun for all ages. If you’re lucky, you might even spot Lily-May performing on stage.
Well done Lily-May, we are very proud of your appearance in the pantomime.
