We have begun the process to find our Year 8 team for this excellent competition which takes place at South East Northumberland Law Courts on Saturday 7th March 2015.
There will be an assembly by our last year’s regional winners, now at King Edward VI High School, who will explain what is involved and share the experience they had as well as giving us tips.
Hello – this is the first of my Head of School blogs which will be published on the website on a regular basis.
I do hope that you have taken the time over the weekend to read the January newsletter which celebrates the wonderful achievements at Chantry in the run up to the Christmas holiday. Once again I would like to thank the staff and students for all their fantastic work.
The cost of a school lunch is going up from Monday 13th April 2015
They will go up 15p per day, from £2.10 to £2.25.
We have tried to keep our prices low, whilst ensuring that we provide the highest quality food that we can. We have managed to keep prices the same for the last 5 years, despite food costs having risen considerably.
We hope you agree that this increase is reasonable and we will continue to provide the best service we can.
We’re delighted to announce that we’ve been awarded Silver Level of Sainsbury’s School Games.
A Silver level mark is a great achievement and shows our school’s outstanding commitment to school sport.
The Sainsbury’s School Games is a unique opportunity to motivate and inspire millions of young people across the country to take part in more competitive school sport.
Following in the footsteps of the BBC, Chantry Middle held their own Christmas Bake Off on Wednesday the 10th December 2014.
The pupils were given two hours to prepare their own signature Christmas product.
An amazing range of baked goods were laid before the judges eyes, they in turn had a very difficult job of tasting and selecting first place.
Happy New Year and welcome back to all of our students and staff. We hope everyone has had a great Christmas holiday and we wish everyone a very happy 2015! Please look out for our first newsletter of 2015 on Friday the 9th of January.
The recently performed Year 5 performance of ‘Aladdin Trouble’ has been hailed a great success. All pupils in the year group have been involved in the production including acting, singing, making props, advertising and lighting.
We would like to congratulate them all for their hard work and commitment. We would also like to thank parents for their support in providing some amazing costumes.
Thank you to all of those families who joined us at one of our performances and to those who contributed to our collection for Macmillan Cancer for which we raised just over £63.
Merry Christmas from all in Year 5!
A 120 strong choir from Newminster and Chantry sang to the rooftops at St James’s Church at their carol service on the 17th December.
They were joined by piano soloists, readers, the wind band playing an uplifting rendition of ‘Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer’ and the steel pan bands, whose beautiful sounds filled the air with ‘Santa Baby’ and ‘Jingle Bells’.

Congratulations to Piper Clarke, Elliot Tolman, Ethan Monaghan, Emma Lawson, Josh Williams, Grace Tomlin, Lucas Jones and Steph Shek who all go through the second round in February.
