What the school offers its staff
Chellow Heights School is a large special school located on two separate sites. Both sites offer exceptional learning environments for our pupils, including an outstanding outdoor provision, multi-sensory rooms, soft play, food technology rooms, and our ‘engine’ rooms designed to support pupils with sensory processing needs.
Our West Site is the larger provision, featuring a multi-sensory hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy room, music therapy room, and jungle gym (soft play room).
Our South Site is smaller in size but benefits from a large outdoor space.
Our mission statement, ‘Enjoy, achieve, excel, excite, one vision, one community, new heights’, encapsulates our purpose. We believe children learn best when they are having fun and enjoy what they do. Although located on two sites (South & West), we operate as one community with a shared vision to provide personalized education to our pupils.
