Our Chichester High School TKAT ACE reward trip to Cobnor Activities Centre Trust was an absolutely fantastic day from start to finish! Set against a backdrop of beautiful sunshine, the students had the perfect opportunity to celebrate their hard work and achievements in a truly memorable way. Throughout the day, everyone showed great enthusiasm, teamwork and resilience while taking part in a range of exciting activities. It was wonderful to see so many smiles, hear so much laughter, and watch friendships continue to grow outside the classroom setting. The trip was a well-deserved reward, and the students represented the school brilliantly with their positive attitudes and willingness to challenge themselves. A huge thank you to the staff at Cobnor for making the day so enjoyable, and to all the students for making it such a special experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better day! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Our final netball session at Birdham was a fantastic way to wrap things up! Peci, Ben and Thomas were brilliant, and it’s been incredible to see the progress the children have made over the past four weeks.

This week, our A Level English Literature students have been actively preparing for their Bronze PPEs with focus, determination, and a clear sense of purpose. Using their annotated copies of set texts alongside thoughtfully curated journals, they’ve been transforming their knowledge into effective revision tools - from detailed flashcards and structured essay plans to creative and insightful mind maps. By engaging deeply with their material and refining their ideas, students are not only strengthening their understanding of key themes, contexts, and critical interpretations, but also developing the analytical confidence needed for exam success. This process of revisiting, organising, and applying knowledge is helping them build a strong foundation for the challenges ahead. Consistently making meticulous notes and taking ownership of their revision ensures our students stay ahead of the curve, remain motivated, and keep their focus firmly on achieving their goals. It’s fantastic to see such commitment and academic discipline in action. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #academic #revision #englishliterature #successmindset

Our Year 10 photography students enjoyed a successful and inspiring trip to Dell Quay. With such a variety of natural scenery, the location provided the perfect setting for students to develop their practical photography skills outside the classroom. Throughout the day, students explored different techniques, focusing on composition, perspective, and the use of natural light. The coastal views and changing conditions allowed them to experiment creatively, with many capturing striking reflections, textures, and landscape details. It was fantastic to see students engaging so positively with the experience, demonstrating both enthusiasm and confidence in their work. The trip was a great success, and we are proud of how well the students represented the school. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

This week both Year 12 and 13 are studying Statistical Distributions, these distributions provide the mathematical framework for predicting everything from the outcome of a coin toss to the heights of every person on the planet. Year 12 are looking at Binomial distribution, which focuses on "Success vs. Failure" scenarios. By studying this, students learn how to calculate the probability of specific outcomes in repeated trials where there are only two possibilities (like "Does this drug work?" or "Will this part break?"). Year 13 are studying Normal Distribution, which describes how most data in nature behaves. It teaches students that while individuals vary, large groups tend to cluster around a central average. Both types of distribution have real life applications. For example Binomial distribution is used in Medical Clinical Trials, Quality Control in Manufacturing and even in Spam Filters use binomial distributions. Normal distribution is used in Standardized Testing, Logistics and in Biology, specifically Anthropology. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

We were recently visited by Mike Garlick, Director of TKAT ACE and, as a result of this visit, the Chichester High School TKAT ACE team has been awarded a GOLD accreditation. What is ACE? ACE stands for a Champion for Every Child and is a TKAT - The Kemnal Academies Trust trust wide initiative which is designed to bring down barriers to learning. As part of the mentoring programme at Chichester High School, ACE Tutors monitor academic progress of the student, have wellbeing conversations, access resources for students and work closely with a number of different agencies to help improve outcomes for their mentees. There is more information on our ACE programme on the school website. Feedback from students and parents has played a huge part in achieving this award - so thank you all! https://www.chichesterhigh-tkat.org/about-us/tkat-ace/gold-award

Today, our Year 12 students attended an informative and engaging presentation delivered by Jack Woolsey from The OddBalls Foundation. The session focused on raising awareness around testicular cancer, with a particular emphasis on breaking down the stigma and embarrassment that can often prevent young people from carrying out regular self-checks or seeking medical advice. Jack delivered the talk in an open, approachable, and often humorous way, helping students feel more comfortable discussing what can otherwise be seen as a difficult or awkward topic. He highlighted the importance of early detection and encouraged students to take responsibility for their own health by becoming more aware of their bodies and speaking to healthcare professionals if they notice any changes. We are proud to share the work of The Oddballs Foundation, which continues to make a significant impact through education and awareness campaigns. More information about their work and resources can be found on their website: www.theoddballsfoundation.com Former Chichester High School student Josh Goodwin, is now the Partnerships Manager for The Oddballs Foundation, alongside his career as a professional rugby player for Nottingham Rugby. His journey is an inspiring example of how our alumni go on to make a positive difference both within their professions and in the wider community. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

We’re sharing this important update from the NHS to raise awareness of meningitis. Although it is rare, it can become serious very quickly, so it’s important to know the signs and symptoms. These can include a high temperature, headache, sensitivity to light, drowsiness, vomiting, and a rash that doesn’t fade when pressed. If you’re ever unsure, trust your instincts and seek medical advice urgently. Please take a moment to read the NHS guidance and help us keep our children and community safe.

Today, we had the pleasure of welcoming Betty Chadwick, Executive Director of Active LD https://www.activeld.org/about-us from Personal Bests (sports events for adults with disabilities) to deliver an inspiring presentation to our Sports Ambassadors.

It was truly inspiring to hear first-hand how sports and community engagement can bring joy, confidence, and a sense of achievement. Our ambassadors left feeling motivated and excited about the possibility of making a difference by supporting such a meaningful event. #WeTHRIVEatCHS
