Please read the information below regarding our Spring Term, beginning January 2021.
The Department for Education (DfE) is seeking to minimise the burden of track and trace falling on schools over the Christmas period and has suggested that schools
use Friday 18 December as an In Service Training Day to support this aim.
Therefore, all of the schools within The Three Rivers Learning Trust will break up for Christmas for students at the end of the school day on Thursday 17 December.Ā
Please click here for further information.
Music will be heard far and wide on Wednesday 16th December at 7.00 pm through aĀ FREEĀ online concertĀ

All Year 6 children recently took part in the 2020 Primary Maths Challenge.Ā The Primary Mathematics Challenge is a fun and exciting mathematical Challenge aimed at pupils inĀ years 5 and 6 England and Wales.
Ā
The Primary Maths Challenge is designed to make pupils think outside the box. The questions asked are not necessarily subjects that have been covered in the curriculum by this time but the questions can create a great starting point and lead to discussions later in the year. The questions are not heavily reliant on formal mathematical knowledge, but can be solved by logical reasoning. You can look at example questions on their website:Ā https://www.
Ā
We are pleased to announce the winners of the gold, bronze and silver certificates below. Congratulations to the winners and well done to all of Year 6 for taking part and showing such resilience throughout.

ģė !Ā The MFL department at Chantry has a new string to its bow.Ā In addition to creating budding Francophones and Hispanophones, a bit of Korean is now on the menu.Ā Earlier this year, Miss Said started learning Korean and when the school reopened fully in September, she had an idea. āMr Storey, one of our highly talented cover supervisors, is a keen linguist and a great asset to the languages team.Ā As his name is Ian, we have launched A KoreIAN Storey where he takes us all with him on his Korean adventures – whether it be trying the food, teaching us some key phrases or dipping his toe into the culture, you will be both entertained and educated.ā
Mr Storey : āIāve always loved being part of French and Spanish during my time at Chantry so the opportunity to get involved with another language sounded great fun. I admit that my Korean knowledge is not excellent but with every episode, Iām learning more and more about their language and culture. Whilst following Miss Saidās strict direction has been challenging, Iāve loved the episodes weāve shot so far and am looking forward to filming the next chapter.ā
Pupils and staff at Chantry have responded to the show with great enthusiasm.
Robbie, Y8Ā : āThe show is really funny and it has taught me a lot.Ā I learned how Konglish is where Koreans take an English word and put their own twist on it to pronounce it.Ā However, they donāt have a F sound, so they change it to a P.Ā For example, the word ācoffeeā is pronounced ācoppeeā.Ā I think A KoreIAN Storey is an exciting way for people to learn something new.ā
Ms Hoyle : āAn epic masterpiece!Ā The show is a must see for anyone who enjoys learning about new cultures served up in a humorous and entertaining way.ā
The series is now on YouTube with two successful episodes already available to view.Ā And with comments on the last episode such as āThe greatest 16 minutes and 57 seconds of my lifeā, how can you possibly miss out?
You can find the links to both episodes here . ģė !
