Street Eats Around the World

Yesterday, our pupils enjoyed the latest themed canteen day: Street Eats Around the World! There were many delicious dishes on offer, such as Spanish chicken paella, Japanese chicken katsu curry, and Louisiana Cajun chicken pasta.

These themed canteen days are driven by pupil feedback and championed by our dedicated Pupil Leadership Team. Their efforts have successfully facilitated the transition to our new catering partner, ABM Catering, ensuring a diverse and exciting culinary experience for all.

Stay tuned for the next themed canteen day!

Year 12 BTEC Sport pupils complete mock interviews!

We were recently delighted to welcome a Principal Sports Science Lecturer from Staffordshire University to CTA! Our Year 12 BTEC Sport Level 3 pupils had the opportunity to engage in a series of interviews as part of their coursework.

The Lecturer was highly impressed by the ambition and values our pupils demonstrated in articulating their future goals. Many of our pupils are aiming to further their education in sports or to secure employment within the industry. This experience has been invaluable in enhancing their employability skills.

Through the interview process, our pupils gained a real-world understanding of what to expect in a professional setting. They have also completed important documents for their portfolios, including CVs, cover letters, and application forms for sports coaching positions.

We are incredibly proud of their hard work and dedication, and we look forward to seeing them achieve their future aspirations!

Parent/Carer Career Support Session

We are thrilled to announce that we will be hosting a ‘Parent/Carer Career Support Session’ aimed at equipping parents/carers within our school community with the essential skills to support their child(ren) in making informed career choices, enhancing their employability skills, and preparing them for lifelong learning.

Did you know that when your child was in primary school, 80% of the careers they might pursue in the future did not yet exist? As parents and carers, you are the most trusted source of support and guidance for your children when it comes to career decisions. We are here to empower you with the tools and knowledge you need to navigate this journey with them.

This event will take place at Chase Terrace Academy on Wednesday, 26th June. The evening will take place in two sessions, with the first running from 05:00pm-05:45pm and the second from 05:45pm to 06:30pm. To register for your chosen session, please complete the registration form via the QR code on the poster below.

If you have any queries, please contact our Director of Careers, Mrs J Poppleton, at j.poppleton@chaseterraceacademy.co.uk

We look forward to seeing you there!
