Welcome to Chichester High School

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. She was joined by the incredible Teddy, Ben, Katie, and Aiden, who each shared their personal experiences of the event - why it is so important to them, the positive impact it has had on their lives, and the reasons they are so passionate about seeing Chichester High School get involved. 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

Future Flyers is a programme for gifted and talented students in the #Chichester and #Bognor area in Years 5 and 6. @chichesterhighsch students work alongside the primary students, helping to support and lead activities throughout the programme. We work with Everyone Active at the local @everyoneactive_westgate to deliver a bespoke programme that challenges and tests the students. Participants track their scores each week and aim to see improvements as they develop their skills and confidence. We are excited for the final session where students will go head-to-head in a Chichester vs Bognor schools challenge. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Session 3/4 – Netball at Birdham This week at netball in Birdham we took Lucas, Bella and Isla along with us. With the first group, we focused on driving and encouraging the players to move quickly into space to receive the ball. For the second group, we introduced a new rule – the “3-second rule,” where players had to pass the ball within three seconds of receiving it. The leaders adapted this to five seconds to give the amazing Year 3 and 4 pupils more time to find space and make good decisions. As always, the children were fantastic and showed great effort, teamwork and enthusiasm throughout the session. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

During our @chichesterhighsch, @tkatace visit to @cobnoractivitiescentre, pupils had the opportunity to choose between land and water activities. The group that selected water activities began their adventure by changing into waterproof overclothes and life jackets, with some also wearing swim shoes. They then travelled by speedboat out to the sailing boats. There were two boats on the water, which created an exciting and friendly sense of competition between the groups. Before setting off, one of the pupils carefully went to the front of the boat to untie the buoy and unhook the chain. Throughout the session, all pupils were given the chance to steer the keel boat, which they greatly enjoyed. The group spent around two hours sailing, working together and developing their teamwork and sailing skills. When it was time to return, the boats raced back to shore, adding to the excitement of the activity. After sailing, the pupils changed and enjoyed a warm lunch of soup, a roll, chocolate, and a drink. The visit finished with a short walk along the shoreline before the group returned to school. The trip was a fantastic experience for the pupils, who showed great enthusiasm and teamwork throughout the day. #WeTHRIVEatCHS @tkatacademies

Give To Gain emphasizes the power of reciprocity and support. When people, organisations, and communities give generously, opportunities and support for women increase. Giving is not a subtraction, it’s intentional multiplication. When women thrive, we all rise. Whether through donations, knowledge, resources, infrastructure, visibility, advocacy, education, training, mentoring, or time, contributing to women’s advancement helps create a more supportive and interconnected world. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #KemnalSchools #internationalwomensday

Today at the @goodwoodeducationtrust Forest School, the students were busy exploring natural printing techniques using leaves and other plant materials. They collected fresh leaves, placed pieces of fabric over them, and gently tapped the surface to transfer the plant’s natural pigments onto the material. It was a hands-on activity that encouraged creativity and an appreciation for nature. The students also presented a plaque to the staff. At Forest School, we like to have a bit of fun each week by rating different services, so we created a plaque and presented it today. The staff were very pleased with it and shared it in their social media content too. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

@chichesterhighsch

Fantastic afternoon at Birdham Primary School for our 2/4 netball sessions! The children are showing real progress each week - their skills, confidence, and teamwork are all improving brilliantly. It was especially great to bring along different @chichesterhighsch ambassadors today, giving the players new role models to learn from and fresh energy on court. A really positive and inspiring session all round - we’re so proud of their hard work and enthusiasm! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Sixth Form Biology Required Practical 5: Heart Dissection In this practical, students carry out a controlled dissection of a heart to explore its internal and external structures. Under careful supervision and following strict safety protocols, they identify and examine key anatomical features such as the atria, ventricles, valves, and major blood vessels. This hands-on activity allows students to gain a deeper understanding of cardiovascular anatomy and physiology, linking theoretical knowledge with practical observation. This dissection is one of twelve required practicals completed throughout the two-year A-level Biology course, providing essential skills in observation, analysis, and scientific technique. Students are encouraged to document their findings with annotated diagrams and photographs to reinforce their learning. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #biology #heart
