In celebration of World Book Day, we held a door decorating competition, and we were absolutely blown away by the effort and talent showcased by our pupils and staff.
We would like to congratulate 11H as the winners of the competition for their spectacular ‘Charlie and the Chocolate Factory’ inspired door!
Staff departments/offices were also invited to take part, with the Learning Support Hub claiming the prize with their ‘Peter Pan’ inspired door!
Let’s continue to celebrate the joy of reading and storytelling every day. Congratulations once again to our winners and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated!

Our Year 10 BTEC Enterprise pupils recently had the incredible opportunity to engage with local businesses during a series of interviews. We were privileged to host Tiegan Norris from Home Instead Cannock, Jonathan Pritchard, Managing Director of the Anglesey Group, and Stacey Craddock from Saxon Chase.
Pupils spent the hour interviewing our guests in preparation for their first BTEC Assignment, equating to 30% of their GCSE. The business representatives were extremely impressed with our pupils’ abilities to pose questions and probe around a variety of different subjects in order to further their understanding.
Mr. S Royston, Curriculum Lead for BTEC Business and Enterprise, expressed his gratitude: “It was a privilege to welcome such fantastic guests to Chase Terrace Academy. They provided our Year 10 pupils with invaluable insights into their enterprises, making an enormous contribution to their studies. Our pupils, as always, conducted themselves impeccably and represented our academy community with distinction. Sitting coursework can still be nerve-wracking for some pupils, but I am extremely confident that, armed with the research they have conducted this afternoon, twinned with their tenacity and aspiration to be the best they can be, we will see great success from this assessment.”

Recently, a group of our exceptional pupils had the opportunity to meet with Mrs. J Poppleton, our Director of Careers, Information, and Guidance, to be recognised for their outstanding efforts in the Year 10 mock interviews!
Mrs Poppleton expressed her delight, stating: “It’s truly fantastic to celebrate the efforts of these remarkable pupils. They excelled in their mock interviews and were flagged by our visitors as being confident and well-prepared.”
The mock interviews, designed to instil confidence and readiness for future interviews, have proven to be an invaluable experience for our pupils. We couldn’t be prouder of their achievements!
Congratulations to all the pupils who participated and demonstrated such impressive skills. Your dedication and hard work are truly commendable.
