Day two of the Silver DofE expedition began with an early start and a chilly wind, meaning many students reached for their jumpers and extra layers. As the day progressed, the weather warmed up, allowing the group to enjoy extended breaks in the shade of the forest before continuing their journey. Arriving at their next campsite before the hottest part of the day, the students worked together to pitch their tents and get settled for the evening. To round off another successful day, they enjoyed a campsite favourite – homemade s’mores with marshmallows and chocolate biscuits. #WeTHRIVEatCHS TKAT - The Kemnal Academies Trust #KemnalSchools

Our talented Performing Arts students enjoyed a wonderful visit to Wellington Grange, Chichester Colten Care, where they entertained residents with an uplifting performance of singing and dancing. It was a fantastic opportunity for our students to share their talents, bring smiles to the residents’ faces, and experience the joy that music and performance can bring to the community. Thank you to everyone at Wellington Grange for such a warm welcome - we look forward to visiting again! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Day One of the Silver DofE Expedition saw students set off through the beautiful New Forest, walking from the Canadian Memorial to Foxlease. The warm weather was made more comfortable by a gentle breeze, and much of the route took the groups through the shade of the woodland. Along the way, students enjoyed spotting the New Forest’s famous free-roaming horses and donkeys, while one group was lucky enough to encounter a small herd of deer moving quietly through the trees. It was a fantastic start to the expedition, with everyone embracing the challenge and enjoying the stunning surroundings. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

The CHS CCF Contingent recently received an award in recognition of their outstanding efforts supporting The Great Tommy Sleep Out earlier this year. A total of 31 cadets and adult volunteers took part, spending the night in tents or, for some, improvised parachute shelters. Throughout the event they developed valuable survival skills, including fire lighting, bushcraft, and shelter building. Thanks to the incredible support of sponsors, they raised an amazing £2,332, earning a trophy from the Royal British Veterans Enterprise (RBVE) as one of their Top Fundraising Groups. A fantastic achievement and a testament to the dedication, teamwork and resilience of everyone involved. Congratulations to all! #WeTHRIVEatCHS

A special moment at Talbot House, as one of our students took the opportunity to play the piano. Once a place of peace and respite for soldiers during the First World War, Talbot House continues to inspire quiet reflection. It was a privilege to see history, music and remembrance come together in such a meaningful way. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #YpresTrip #TalbotHouse #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

Together, we remember. Standing together some of the many significant sites across Ypres, our students took time to reflect on the sacrifices made by those who served during the First World War. These shared moments of remembrance are at the heart of this unforgettable educational visit. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #YpresTrip #LestWeForget

Stepping back in time at the Passchendaele Museum. Our students explored the museum’s underground bunker and trench exhibits, experiencing firsthand the conditions soldiers endured on the frontline during the First World War. A powerful and thought-provoking visit that brought history to life and gave students a deeper understanding of the realities of war. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #YpresTrip #PasschendaeleMuseum #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #LestWeForget

A powerful moment of reflection at Langemark German Military Cemetery. During our visit, Mr Lewis Etherington, Lead Teacher of RE at Chichester High School, delivered a moving reading, sharing the words from Ernst Jünger’s Storm of Steel: “In war you learn thoroughly, but the tuition fee is high.” These words resonate deeply at Langemark, the final resting place of more than 44,000 German soldiers, including many student volunteers from schools and universities who were just 15 years old. The reading was followed by a rendition of Ich hatt’ einen Kameraden (I Had a Comrade), a traditional German memorial song that, much like the Last Post, honours those who lost their lives. Visiting places like Langemark reminds us that the human cost of war was felt on every side. It was a poignant opportunity for our students to reflect on the devastating impact of conflict and the importance of remembrance, peace and understanding. Lest we forget #WeTHRIVEatCHS

A moving moment of reflection as our Co-Headteacher, Dr Taylor, read a poem during our visit to Ypres. Surrounded by places that bear witness to the sacrifices of the First World War, her words encouraged us all to pause, remember and reflect on the courage, loss and enduring legacy of those who served. It was a poignant moment that reminded us of the importance of keeping their stories alive. Lest we forget. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #YpresTrip #Remembrance #LestWeForget #LearningBeyondTheClassroom

A particularly poignant moment for one of our Chichester High School students during our Ypres trip. Today, Mia had the opportunity to pay her respects to her great-great-great uncle, making this visit deeply personal. Standing where history is remembered every day, she was able to reflect on her family’s connection to the First World War and honour his sacrifice. Moments like these remind us that behind every name is a family, a story, and a legacy that continues through generations. Lest we forget.

Thirty of our Year 9 and Year 10 students enjoyed an incredible day at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, thanks to complimentary tickets kindly provided by the STEM sponsors. The visit gave students the opportunity to experience STEM in action, with inspiring talks in the Future Lab covering a wide range of careers and innovations. From learning about opportunities at McLaren and hearing from engineers working on space missions taking astronauts back to the Moon, to exploring the exciting world of Formula E, the day showcased just how diverse and exciting #STEM careers can be. For more than 80% of our students, it was their first visit to the Goodwood Motor Circuit Festival of Speed, making the experience even more memorable. It was a long but hugely worthwhile day, with students returning inspired by the innovation, technology and future career possibilities they had seen. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #goodwoodfos #mclaren

There are moments that stay with you forever. Witnessing the buglers sound the Last Post beneath the Menin Gate was one of those moments. The silence, the ceremony and the atmosphere created a powerful tribute to the thousands of Commonwealth soldiers remembered there. For our students, it was a privilege to witness this act of remembrance and to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many. Lest we forget. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #YpresTrip #LastPost #MeninGate #LestWeForget

A truly moving evening as our students attended the 34,018th Last Post Ceremony at the Menin Gate in Ypres. Held every evening since 1928, the ceremony is a powerful act of remembrance, honouring the thousands of Commonwealth soldiers who lost their lives during the First World War and have no known grave. Standing alongside visitors from around the world, our students experienced firsthand the importance of remembering the sacrifices made by so many. It was a poignant moment of reflection, bringing history to life in a way that will stay with them long after the trip has ended.

Off to Ypres! Our students are officially on their way to Ypres, beginning what promises to be a memorable and meaningful trip. As they travel across the Channel by boat, there is a real sense of excitement for the experiences ahead. Over the coming days, students will have the opportunity to visit important historical sites, learn more about the events of the First World War, and reflect on the stories of those who served. Educational visits like this provide a powerful opportunity to bring history to life beyond the classroom, helping students develop a deeper understanding of the past and its lasting impact on the world today. We wish all of our students and staff a safe journey and look forward to sharing updates from Ypres over the next few days. #WeTHRIVEatCHS #YpresTrip #LearningBeyondTheClassroom #HistoryInAction
