We Day is a celebration of youth making a difference in their local and global communities. It is held at locations throughout the world and 21 of our students were invited to the celebration at Wembley Arena to hear inspirational world-renowned speakers and A-list performers such as Kate Winslet, The Vamps, Jessie J, Paula Abdul, Bruce Dickinson and many more.
A level theatre trip
On Tuesday 21st March Ms Findlay and Mr Wilson took the Year 13 A-Level Drama class to see a modernised version of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’ at the Young Vic Theatre, London. The production included a stage floor made entirely of mud, and mirror walls at the back of the stage; this was an incredible performance and the students thoroughly enjoyed it!

Mayor’s debate award 2017
Our talented and brave Year 8 and 9 students faced seven other Enfield schools in the finals of the Mayor’s Debate Award. It was a fierce competition and our students strongly debated the issues of capital punishment and political leadership. Though we were not winners this year, they certainly represented Chace in an outstanding way showing confidence and courage.

Journey beyond Chace
Year 12 have had a busy week, beginning to prepare for their journey beyond Chace. Last Friday, they visited the North London Higher Education Fair, held at Middlesex university, where they were able to speak to over sixty universities and apprenticeship providers about their options and today we had over 20 professionals visit us, giving Year 12 the opportunity to find more about careers in a wide range of areas including Aerospace Engineering, Firefighting, Investment Banking, Architecture, Law and Performing Arts. All of our visitors were incredibly impressed with the professionalism, enthusiasm and confidence displayed by our students – well done Year 12.
Drama Festival 2017
Thank you on behalf of the Drama Department to the friends, family and teachers of Year 9 Drama students who attended this year’s Drama Festival. The night showcased some amazing talent from year 9 students who performed their monologue or duologue performances studied during their Drama lessons. They have made us all incredibly proud and have received glowing praise from those who came along to watch! Money raised from the event will be going to ‘Refuge’.
