Our annual Careers Fair will be taking place on Thursday 17th September. All students in Year groups 9-11 will attend the fair during the school day.

The Careers Fair provides an invaluable opportunity for students to meet employers, colleges, universities, apprenticeship providers and training organisations in one place. Students can explore different career pathways, gain insight into the skills and qualifications required for a range of occupations, ask questions about future opportunities and make informed decisions about their next steps.

We would like to invite any parents and carers of students in these year groups to visit the Careers Fair during our school lunch break. For safeguarding purposes, you will be required to be accompanied by your child throughout your attendance at this event.

If you wish to attend, please complete the BOOKING FORM.

We are delighted to share the fantastic news that Chailey School has been awarded £1,500 through the Tesco Stronger Starts programme, the highest grant available.

The award was made following a public vote in local Tesco stores, where customers chose projects they felt would have the greatest impact on their communities. Voting took place between 28 April and 31 July 2026, with millions of votes cast across the UK.

As in the past two years, the funding will be used to enhance our careers programme and provide students with valuable opportunities to explore future education and career pathways. In particular, it will help fund our Open Doors careers visits, delivered in partnership with the East Sussex Careers Hub, enabling students to visit employers, workplaces and training providers to gain first-hand insight into the world of work. The grant will also support careers guidance activities that help students make informed decisions about their post-16 options.

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to Tesco and Groundwork for their generous support and for providing funding opportunities that make such a positive difference to young people.

Most importantly, we would like to thank our parents, carers, staff, students and members of the wider school community who took the time to vote for our project. Your support helped us secure the maximum award available, and this funding will have a lasting impact on the opportunities we can offer our students.

My name is Mr Steven Arroyo and I run Affinity TKD. I teach Taekwon-Do classes for all ages in

East Sussex and have an established school which has been running for 13 years.

We run an after school club at Chailey during term time on Mondays in the sports hall 3.30pm-

4.30pm and anyone who wishes to trial the classes are very welcome to see what it's all about and

give it a try.

The trial is for 4 weeks at a cost of £30. This isn't limited to just the school sessions, so if anyone

wishes to attend my general sessions outside of the school in addition then they can do this at no extra

charge. My classes (and more info on Taekwon-Do and the instructor) are listed on my website

www.affinitytkd.co.uk for those interested.

Please follow the link below to sign your child up for the trial. They can turn up and take part in their

PE kit and all that is needed is some water for the breaks.

I had a brilliant time running the PE sessions at the school and I hope all that took part enjoyed it too.

As we end our first full week of term, I want to congratulate all Chailey students for coming back so positively.

We have seen excellent focus in lessons this week, and I am pleased to say we have given out huge amounts of reward points recognising students' hard work. 

We have a range of events coming up in the next few days including our careers fair for Year 9, Year 10, and Year 11 and our welcome to Key Stage 4 evening on Thursday evening for Year 10 families. Our Year 7s also have their interform day next Friday which I hope they are all looking forward to.

Clubs start again next week and as one of our values is participation, I would encourage as many students as possible to sign up to an extra curricular activity.

We wish you all a lovely weekend.

Mr Holt
