Welcome to the Chrysalis High blog, where we share the thinking behind how we teach and the small moments that make up a school year. Some posts come from our teachers, on how children actually learn to read, or settle into a new grade, or find their feet in a subject that once scared them. Others are practical, written with parents in mind: choosing a board, easing exam stress, making screen time work rather than worry. And some are simply glimpses of life on campus. There is no fixed schedule and no filler. We post when we have something worth saying. Have a look through what is below.
