At Chaucer School we have three key values that we agree on together:

Respect - Be respectful; of others, ourselves and our environment.​

Responsibility - Be responsible; for ourselves, our actions and our future.​

Kindness - Be kind. Always.​

Every aspect of life at Chaucer School is built around these three key values. Whether that is through our ambitious curriculum offer, our comprehensive pastoral care, or our drive for aspirational progress for all, we know that students are offered first class opportunities to thrive academically, physically and mentally at Chaucer School.

We hope our website gives a sense of the pride in what we do together to ensure our students fulfil their life chances and dreams. If you’d like to visit Chaucer School and see how we are constantly developing and moving forward to be truly first class in all that we do, please get in touch.

INOVA Multi-Academy Trust (previously Tapton School Academy Trust) was formed in April 2012 by Tapton School, an outstanding 11 to 18 school in the South West of Sheffield. The Trust was immediately asked to support and sponsor Chaucer School, an 11 to 16 school in the north of the city which converted to academy status from September 2012. Another ‘Outstanding’ Ofsted judgement for Tapton in 2013 gave the Trust the opportunity to grow and we currently stand at eight schools – four secondary and five primary: Tapton, Chaucer, Forge Valley and Bradfield are our Secondaries and our Primaries are Southey Green, Meynell, Hillsborough, Wisewood and Hallam.

They are all linked in a shared endeavour – our mission is to provide an outstanding education to all our students 0 – 19. We are passionate that all our young people should see their time at school as safe, happy and fulfilling.

Our approach is founded on deeply effective partnership working – inextricably joining our schools, students, parents and their communities.
