The report highlights the incredible opportunities the school provides for pupils, including experiences to learn, grow and develop in a nurturing environment with an experienced team.

Highlights from the report includes:

• From the moment pupils join this exceptional school, their sense of self-worth, self-confidence and happiness grows rapidly. Pupils experience an excellent level of nurture and support because staff expertly build strong and trusting relationships with them.
• As one pupil rightly explained, ‘At Chilworth, we can just be ourselves. We know that we are not going to be left out because we are seen as naughty or out of control.’
• Pupils blossom at this highly inclusive school.
• The school engages extremely effectively with parents and carers. They are full of praise about the ‘incredible and transformational’ difference this school makes for their child and family.
• Specialist staff and therapists provide expertly crafted individual support and guidance which enhances pupils’ experiences significantly. Consequently, pupils excel in all aspects of school life.
• Classrooms are abuzz with interesting and highly engaging discussions around the different subjects that pupils study. Activities are expertly crafted around pupils’ individual needs and their education, health and care (EHC) plan targets.

Head Teacher, Dave Willcox proudly commented:

“I am exceptionally proud of the team at Chilworth House school for achieving ‘Outstanding’ in our latest Ofsted inspection. All members of staff were able to showcase the ethos of the school through their passion and dedication during the inspection. The positivity and care they show on a daily basis really shone through and is referenced on many occasions in this wonderful report!’
