Uniform

Dress at Chichester consists of a white shirt, green and white tie, grey trousers, grey pullover and a blazer (the green uniform jacket). Variations include various society ties worn to meetings of the respective societies.

Campus

The campus is divided into two parts. The Lower School is the oldest part of the school and is for the younger boys. The Main School is the newer part of the school and is for the older boys.

The school's buildings and facilities were expanded in the 2000s to include a science block, a learning resources centre, an administrative and reception area, an Astroturf pitch, and a new sports hall. The South Downs Planetarium, supported by local resident Sir Patrick Moore, was opened on the site on 5 April 2002. A Sports and Conference Centre was officially opened in July 2009 by Major Timothy Peake, a former pupil of the school, and named after him. [1]

Sports

The school's sporting facilities include an international-standard irrigated all-weather hockey pitch, large sports hall, tennis courts and extensive grounds for a whole range of competitive sports such as: rugby, cricket, hockey, tennis, squash, athletics, basketball, football, badminton, etc. A separate sports centre was completed in 2009, providing students with one of the best sports facilities for any school student.

Sixth form

The Sixth Form is divided into Lower 6th and Upper 6th. Upper 6th students often go on to higher education in UK universities. It currently has about 400 students and achieved A-Level results of 99% A or B grades in the June 2008 exams.

Combined Cadet Force

CCF Crest

Chichester High School is one of 59 state schools in the UK to have a Combined Cadet Force. It has an Army section affiliated with the Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment and an RAF section but no Navy section due to an agreement at the time of the formation with the local Sea Cadets.

Inspections

Ofsted inspections in 2007 and 2010 classed the school with Grsde 3 (satisfactory) [2][3]

Old Cicestrians

The school has an alumni society named the Old Cicestrians. For some time it was called the Chichester High and Lancastrian Old Boys, or CHALOBs, but reverted to the original name in 2007. In former times a magazine "The Martlet" was issued to all boys at the end of each school year as well as a full school photograph. Before converting to a comprehensive system there were eight houses: King, Story, Wilfred, Richards, Andrews, Lake, Bell and Sherborne at the grammar school, each based on a geographical area.[citation needed]
