I felt emotional when the artists talked about how much confidence it had given them by taking part in the project, and how impressed they were with the standard of the students' work. It was great that Mr Holt could give out one of the prizes and see the outcomes of the project first hand. Congratulations to all the students that took part; the prize winners were Ayla for favourite artwork, Noah for favourite photograph, Leo for piece with the moist public votes and Amber for artists' choice.  Thank you to Mr Holt for supporting the Art department to enable us to run the project, and Nikki Richardson from Homes First for inviting Chailey school to be part of this wonderful project.  

The students art and photography will now be photographed, and prints will be displayed all around East Sussex Sheltered Housing properties to brighten up the corridors. Well done Year 11 Artists and Photographers!

Students must attend with a parent or carer listed on their individual Arbor account. Please ensure your Arbor details are up to date, as we cannot approve participation if the accompanying adult is not listed for that student — even if they appear on a sibling’s account.

Chailey School - Take Your Child to Work Day - Friday 6th March 2026

As you know, we have gone to our wider community to offer more clubs to families. We are delighted that Dennis Hayden (Level 3 county coach) has started our table tennis club this week, more students are welcome to sign up via ParentPay.

In addition to this, Turning Pointe Dance Academy are offering a free contemporary Dance taster session (please see flyer above). For any students who attend this, we will share your contact details with the Academy so that they can provide more details about the club they intend to run here at Chailey School. We hope lots of students want to get involved in this opportunity. Please email srodd@chaileyschool.org if you would like to register

Young people in East Sussex can find information, advice and support on a wide range of health and wellbeing topics at Health for Teens.

Health for Teens offers up-to-date and reliable information on topics that matter to young people. The new online resource, aimed specifically at secondary school-aged young people, covers everything from puberty, relationships, growing up and lifestyle issues like alcohol and vaping.

Health for Teens has contact details for local support services, making it easy for young people to find someone to talk to. Teens can contact the School Health Team directly for advice or refer themselves for support.

The East Sussex School Health Service works with children, young people and families and supports schools through the East Sussex Healthy Schools Programme. Teachers can also use Health for Teens when planning RSHE (Relationships, Sex and Health Education) lessons.

“This is a really useful site for our young people to engage with. Not only does it have factual, non-judgemental guidance on a range of personal issues it also signposts local sources of support. I have promoted this resource to our parents, our students and pastoral teams."

Secondary Assistant Headteacher, Eastbourne

“I think it is really easy to use and really informative for teenagers, answering questions that they may have but are too shy to speak about with an adult. It covers all the bases from illnesses to mental health to sexual relationships.” 

Secondary Student Welfare Team Member, Bexhill

“The NHS Health for Teens website is an invaluable resource for our students. It’s accessible, engaging and offers clear, trustworthy guidance on everything from emotional wellbeing to healthy lifestyles. Our young people feel reassured knowing they can access reliable information independently, and it has supported our safeguarding work by promoting safer choices and better understanding. Highly recommended as a go-to tool for secondary schools.”

Secondary Safeguarding Lead, Hailsham

On Monday and Tuesday we had an external review for the whole school, and we are pleased to say that Chailey continues to be a place where kindness shines through, students achieve well, and everybody pulls together to ensure everyone is included. 

We hope all families have a lovely weekend,

Mr Holt
