Welcome to Chantry HigH

We started the Olympic year with an inspirational talk by Paralympics gold medal winner, Danny Crates. His story of overcoming difficulties to achieve at the very highest level is something we can all learn from.

Following two very successful consultation evenings with prospective and current parents, we are now well on the way to converting to an academy. Our new name will be Suffolk New Academy and we are currently in the process of putting final touches to our smart new uniform.

We are delighted to be working closely with our sponsor Suffolk New College, and feel that this partnership will benefit both the school and the local community enormously.

There will be more consultation events taking place, but if you have any questions that you cannot find answers to on our Academy Conversion page, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I hope to see all our students achieve their very best this year. I am confident our Year 11s will again break records with their GCSE results and I am equally confident that we will have many Gold Award Winners in our CHS Award.

Our School has Three broad aims:

Achievement is the cornerstone of our school. Educational achievement is our core business and we provide high quality learning and teaching
opportunities with our highly committed and motivated staff. We offer a broad
curriculum to engage all our learners; a feature of our school which Ofsted found ‘outstanding’.

We are committed to listening and acting upon the views of all stakeholders. Parents, pupils and the wider community have an important role to play in shaping our school.

The way we look after each other is fundamental to our school. This applies to all in our school community. We work hard to support pupils with their learning; this often means ‘going the extra mile’ on a day to day basis. Staff are also well looked after both in terms of professional development and well being.
