What the school offers its staff

Chellow Heights school is a large special school which is located on two separate sites. Both sites offer exceptional learning environments for our pupils which enhance their learning and quality of life experiences. These include an outstanding outdoor provision, multi-sensory rooms, soft play, food technology rooms and our 'engine' rooms which are used to support our pupils with their sensory processing.

Our West Site is the larger provision and in addition to the resources highlighted above, also boasts a multi-sensory hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy room, music therapy room and jungle gym (soft play room).

Our South Site is a much smaller provision in terms of the size of building yet capitalises brilliantly on the large outdoor space available.

Our mission statement ' Enjoy, achieve, excel, excite, one vision, one community, new heights 'encapsulates our purpose. We believe that children learn best when they are having fun and enjoy what they do. Although located on two separate sites (South & West), we are very much one community with one vision to provide a personalised education to our pupils.

Are you looking for the next step in your career? Do you have a passion for working with children and want to help make a difference to their lives? Come and join the team at Chellow Heights.
