Year 10

"Manners maketh the man"

"One bad day does not define you"

At Chertsey High School, we understand that our core values are essential for success, especially as our Year 10 students approach their upcoming exams. This pivotal year serves as a foundation for their GCSE studies, and we are dedicated to helping them build resilience and determination. Remember, "one bad day doesn't define you." Mistakes are part of the learning journey, and we encourage students to view challenges as opportunities for growth.

Independence and daily engagement will be crucial as we promote our GROWTH values: Gratitude, Resilience, Ownership, Willingness, Teamwork, and Hard Work. These principles are vital for achieving social, academic, and emotional development as they prepare for their exams.

Alongside the exciting opportunities we provide, we will emphasize the importance of Knowledge, Determination, and Love. Our motto, "Manners maketh the man," underscores the values of respect and kindness we strive to instill. With "Action is the key to success" as our guiding phrase, we want Year 10s to take ownership of their learning and engage fully in their studies. By doing so, they will become resilient, resourceful individuals ready to tackle the challenges of the year ahead and excel in their GCSEs.
