Today our CHS Year 12 students attended the TKAT - The Kemnal Academies Trust Aspire Day at the University of Greenwich, where they heard from professionals across a range of industries, alongside Oxbridge students, university students and an apprenticeship panel. They also took part in inspiring sessions led by Google and Andrew Wright from Action Your Potential, helping them explore the many pathways available after Sixth Form. It was a fantastic day, giving our students valuable insight into their future options ahead of starting two weeks of work experience next week. A huge thank you to TKAT, Vickie Smith and David Churchill for organising such an inspiring event. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Many members of the Chichester High School community will remember our much-loved former Head of English, Mrs Sherlock. Before she sadly passed away, Mrs Sherlock was cared for with such kindness, compassion and dignity by the wonderful team at St Wilfrid's Hospice in Bosham. The care they gave to both her and those closest to her will never be forgotten. You can help support the incredible work they do by taking just a minute to nominate them in the Movement for Good Community Special Draw, where 20 charities will each receive £5,000. Please make sure you select: ST WILFRID’S HOSPICE (SOUTH COAST) LIMITED Nominations close on 5th July 2026. Every nomination gives them another chance of receiving this valuable funding to continue supporting local families during the most difficult of times. Thank you so much for your support.

Forest School at Goodwood Education Trust today saw students working in teams to design and build a series of woodland obstacles, making the most of the trees and natural surroundings. Once their courses were complete, teams took on the challenge of transporting water around the obstacles, with the group collecting the most water crowned the winners. To add to the excitement, water guns made an appearance, leading to plenty of laughter as students (and staff!) became targets. The session finished with a well-earned treat of waffles, fruit and ice cream for everyone. It was a fantastic afternoon that showcased creativity, teamwork and communication, with some wonderfully imaginative obstacles created along the way. #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Day 2 of our Chichester High School Sixth Form Induction Programme was another great success. Students continued to experience Sixth Form life through a range of engaging lessons and activities, while building new friendships with peers from across the local area. A highlight of the day was the Sixth Form BBQ, which provided a fantastic opportunity for students to relax, socialise and get to know one another outside the classroom. It has been wonderful to see students settle in so quickly, and we look forward to welcoming them back in September. Mr Shove #WeTHRIVEatCHS

Sixth Form Induction Gets Off to a Great Start Today, we welcomed our new Year 12 cohort for the first day of our Sixth Form Induction Programme. It was fantastic to see many of our own Year 11 students again, just days after celebrating with them at Prom, and to welcome students joining us from Bourne Community College, Bishop Luffa School, The Academy, Selsey, Havant Academy, Ormiston Six Villages Academy and Chichester Free School Students took part in a range of induction lessons designed to introduce them to A-level study. In Biology, students created three-dimensional cell models, exploring the structure and function of key organelles and gaining an insight into the greater depth of learning expected in the Sixth Form. The day provided an excellent opportunity for students to experience Sixth Form life, make new connections and enjoy our facilities. We look forward to welcoming everyone back tomorrow for Day 2 of the induction programme. #WeTHRIVEatCHS TKAT - The Kemnal Academies Trust #KemnalSchools

** A message from Mrs Lewry and Dr Taylor - hot off the press! ** Dear Parents and Carers Warm Weather Arrangements As you will be aware, the temperatures this week are forecast to be incredibly high. With this in mind, we will be putting in place some temporary measures to support students during the hot weather: From Tuesday 23rd June until Friday 26th June: Uniform: For this week, students will be permitted to wear PE kit if they prefer. Please note - PE kit must consist of a CHS PE t-shirt, and either shorts or skort. Cycling shorts are permitted but must be plain black and mid thigh length. Any student wearing shorts which are above mid thigh in length will be asked to change. Lesson Timings: Tuesday timings will be applied for the whole week. This means students will go straight to lesson 1(8:50am) to avoid line ups in the heat and the day will finish at 14:35pm. In addition, we will adapt timings between lesson transitions to allow students slightly more time to move to their next lesson and refill water bottles. We will provide a supervised space for any students who wish to remain in school until 15:20pm. PA Your Heart Out Event: Due to the extreme heat in the theatre, this event has been postponed until further notice. We would like to remind all parents and carers that students should have a refillable water bottle with them every day. Suncream - please ensure your child has suncream in their school bag so it can be applied whilst at school. We will monitor the weather and if necessary PE lessons will be moved inside. The temperatures will be monitored and the warm weather measures will be extended if necessary. Thank you for your support.
