First, a hard fought match away at Ringmer which ended 4-1 too the hosts. Second, the latest instalment in a long line of close matches against Priory, Harry A putting us ahead, then Angus D scoring an outrageous volley to finish the game 2-2

]]> 2025-11-27 11:49:10 UTC https://padlet.com/srodd3/suvow5p3li9483e9/wish/3701018002 Message from Mr Holt srodd3 https://padlet.com/srodd3/suvow5p3li9483e9/wish/3701168300 Dear Chailey Families,

We have had an excellent week where our community have achieved so much. My highlight has been going to tutor rooms each morning to award keys for students displaying our values. Our Year 11s have now finished their trials, and we have been delighted with how they have conducted themselves.

We have lots of events in the next few weeks, including many performances, we would love as many families to attend as possible. 

Yesterday saw our first parent tours of the year for Chailey families. It was good to get feedback from new Year 7 parents who feel that their children are thriving here at Chailey, and I would recommend as many families sign up to our school tours as possible to see the school on a regular day. (Head Teacher School Tours – Fill out form)

Today staff at Chailey worked closely with Uckfield College and Heathfield Community College to share best practice and get us to reflect on how we can continue to meet the needs of all learners.

We hope that students enjoy the INSET days and make the most of Monday to recharge ready for December leading up to Christmas.

Best wishes,

Mr Holt
