Welcome to Chauncy School I am delighted to welcome you to our school. Chauncy is a popular, happy and successful school at the heart of Ware. We are purposeful, forward looking and determined to be great. The school is an orderly, tolerant and caring community where students feel safe and valued. We aim to excite young people about their learning and to celebrate their success. There is a passionate commitment throughout the staff to inspire through excellent teaching. The strength of relationships between staff and students has been vital in securing year on year record results. The Specialist Schools and Academies Trust placed us in the top 5% of schools nationally for the value we add to the students’ exam grades. We have established a tradition of academic success founded on student confidence in themselves, their teachers and the vital relationship between staff, student and parents. We welcome students of all abilities who are taught in different groups according to their academic needs. Excellent provision is made for all students including those who have exceptional gifts and talents as well as those who have a particular special educational need. In recognition of outstanding exam results we have been credited as a Centre of Excellence for Gifted and Talented Education. There is no limit to what our students can achieve with selfbelief and parent support and no ceiling on what we can accomplish together. Dennis O’Sullivan (Headteacher)
