Circus Celebration 2026
On Friday, we held our much-anticipated annual Circus end-of-year celebration, recognising and rewarding students who have consistently demonstrated our school values and met expectations throughout the academic year.
Students enjoyed a fantastic day packed with fun, including the hugely popular Star Flyer ride and Total Wipeout challenge, a circus performance and workshop in the big top, karaoke, and much more. It was wonderful to see students putting their circus skills to the test and celebrating their achievements together.
Congratulations to the winning House in each year group, whose members earned a free ride on the Star Flyer as a special reward!
A huge thank you to Miss Lindsey, Head of House System, for organising such a memorable event. We are also incredibly grateful to all the staff and student volunteers who helped run stalls, support activities, and keep everything running smoothly throughout the day.

JTMAT Exceptional Achievement Award winners!
We are delighted to celebrate the outstanding achievements of two of our students, Ethan (Year 12) and Elijah (Year 8), who have both been awarded the JTMAT Exceptional Achievement Award – a Trust-wide initiative recognising remarkable dedication and success.
Ethan was nominated for his achievements in golf. As Captain of the Staffordshire U18s Golf Team for the 2026 season, Ethan demonstrates leadership, discipline, and a deep understanding of the sport. He has represented the school at national level, competing in the Schools National Finals at Woodhall Spa, and played a key role in the Staffordshire U18s winning the Midlands League in 2025. His continued progression reflects not only his talent, but also the determination and resilience required to perform consistently at county and national standard.
Elijah was nominated in recognition of his commitment to performing arts. His achievement of performing on the West End Stage at Her Majesty’s Theatre in London is the result of many months of hard work, discipline, and passion. Through his membership with the Pauline Quirke Academy, Elijah has dedicated countless hours to rehearsals, workshops, and performance training – consistently demonstrating maturity, resilience, and a genuine love for his craft.
Both students met with Ms Mason, Headteacher, to receive their pin badge and certificate, before joining an online celebration led by Mr M Donoghue, CEO of the John Taylor MAT. We are incredibly proud of both students and the commitment they show in their respective fields. Their achievements are a credit to themselves and to our school community.

Sports Day 2026
This week, we held our annual Sports Day, and what a fantastic day it was!
It was great to see students coming together, cheering each other on and taking part in some friendly competition. Throughout the day, students competed in a range of events including races, high jump, long jump, discus, shot put, javelin and relays.
Despite the warm weather, our students gave every event their best effort and made good use of the water and sun cream stations to keep going throughout the day. We would like to reassure parents and carers that students remained indoors during break and lunchtime today, providing them with respite from the sun and helping to ensure their wellbeing throughout the day.
This term, students have also been taking part in a House banner competition through their Personal Development groups, creating banners to support their teams on Sports Day. As you can see, a huge amount of effort and creativity has gone into these, and they looked fantastic on the field today.
Days like Sports Day really show what our Chase Terrace Academy community is all about. We saw students encouraging their peers, brothers and sisters supporting one another, Personal Development groups coming together, staff and students celebrating each other’s successes, and some incredible sporting achievements along the way.
We are proud to be CTA, and we hope our students are proud of themselves too. Their effort, attitude and support for one another made today a real success.
