Chailey School

The school also provides adult classes in French, Italian, and Spanish. It does not have a sixth form. In recent years the school has been substantially rebuilt, with little of the old buildings remaining. In 2007 at least 99% of students acquired one GCSE at grades A*–G and in 2009, 82% of students achieved 5 or more A*–C grades with 72% achieving 5 or more including English and maths. The school academic program spans a range of disciplines including arts, sciences or humanities. The current head teacher is Paul Holt. In 2008 it celebrated its 50th anniversary since opening as a secondary modern in 1958. On 6 June 2008, The Duchess of Gloucester visited the school to attend a citizenship ceremony, the first of its kind to be held in a school with students present. This was to coincide with the school's 50th anniversary.
