Year 11 Leaver’s Assembly

We recently said goodbye to our Year 11 students at their Leavers’ assembly – a special and very emotional occasion!

Mrs Scholes and Miss Grave shared their farewells, and our personal development tutors spoke about the memories and experiences that have shaped this year group. It was also great to celebrate students with awards, recognising their hard work and achievements.

A big thank you to Izzy, Rosie and Fleur for their brilliant performances, which made the assembly even more memorable.

We’re really proud of all our Year 11 students and wish them the very best for whatever comes next, whether that’s sixth form, college or an apprenticeship. Good luck – and don’t be strangers!

A.M.Dassu author visit for Year 7 and 8 students

We were delighted to welcome award-winning author A.M. Dassu to our school as part of our ongoing focus on literacy. Our Year 7 and Year 8 students enjoyed inspiring assemblies based on her acclaimed novel Kicked Out, followed by a special workshop where selected pupils had the opportunity to ask questions and learn more about her writing journey.

We were also grateful to Fulfen Primary School for joining us! All students thoroughly enjoyed the visit, and we are very grateful to A.M. Dassu for taking the time to join us and inspire our young readers and writers!

‘Maths is Magic’ House Event

Celebrating our students!

We had so much to celebrate during our Thankful Thursday and Feel-Good Friday celebrations last week!

Miss Gleeson met with Emilie, who recently competed at a national figure skating competition. Emilie spoke about her dedication, training schedule, and her passion for the sport – an inspiring achievement we are very proud of.

We also celebrated Hollie, who was nominated for her incredible hard work and commitment. Hollie has received contract offers from Manchester United, Birmingham City FC, and Leicester City FC. She has chosen to join the Manchester United Girls’ Academy and will officially sign in July at the Manchester United Stadium – a fantastic accomplishment!

Finally, we hosted a ‘thank you’ breakfast for our Sixth Form students who supported our recent Awards Evening, whether by hosting the event or running the photobooth. We are extremely grateful for their time, effort, and contribution – the evening would not have been possible without them.

Well done to everyone involved – we are very proud of our students and all they continue to achieve!

DofE Information Evening Update

Is your child joining our school this September?

The Puzzle Room in Cannock is hosting a series of Year 6 – 7 Meet-Up Evenings over the summer holidays, designed to help children meet new friends and build confidence ahead of starting secondary school.

Moving from primary to secondary school can feel daunting for many students. These sessions provide a relaxed and fun environment where children can socialise with others who may be joining the same school, helping to make those first few weeks in September feel less overwhelming.

Activities include team-based experiences such as escape rooms, paint splatter sessions and mini golf, all aimed at encouraging communication and friendship building.

Please note: these sessions are not run by the school. For more information or to book, please contact The Puzzle Room directly.

Awards Evening 2026

We were immensely proud to celebrate our students at our recent Awards Evening. Students were recognised for being exceptional Chase Terrace Academy students – serving as role models, contributing positively to our school community, and striving to be the very best versions of themselves.

Our staff nominated students for their outstanding progress across subjects, their commitment to our school values, and for achieving an incredible number of house points. We were also proud to celebrate our students who have completed their Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh’s Awards, with our Silver groups sharing presentations on their experiences and what they’ve achieved.

We extend our sincere thanks to our guest speaker, Kathy Coe MBE, for her inspiring speech on finding and achieving your dreams at every stage of life. We were also delighted to be joined by Mr Donoghue OBE, CEO of the John Taylor MAT, and Mr Stewart, Chair of Governors, and thank them both for their kind words and support.

We would also like to thank Miss Lindsey, Head of the House System, for all the work she put into organising the evening. We’d also like to say a big thank you to all the staff who helped set up and supported on the night.

Thank you to our Sixth Form hosts, Harry, Isabella and Hattie, and to Ben, Peyton and Savanah for running the photobooth and helping ensure all of our award winners were celebrated. A huge well done as well to our student performers – your performances were fantastic and added something really special to the evening.

Finally, thank you to the parents and carers who joined us – we greatly appreciate your continued support.
