Welcome to John Chilton School

I am honoured to be the Headteacher at John Chilton School with its experienced, skilled and dedicated staff and our fantastic pupils who are an inspiration to us all. Every day I take pride in the diverse community where we learn from each other, celebrate together and work as a team with our families.

Pupils said that they love coming to school.

“This is because staff are kind and take care of their needs. Pupils behave extremely well.
Those that find meeting the school’s behaviour expectations challenging receive targeted and effective support. Pupils enjoy making new friends and look out for each other. There is a very happy and purposeful ambience that permeates across the school.

The school strives to attend to the range of pupils’ individual needs

“Pupils leave the school very well prepared for the next stages of their education and adult living. Older pupils told inspectors that they feel ready for the ‘big world’. This is because the school
prioritises a holistic and bespoke approach to meeting each pupil’s needs. Teaching, pastoral and therapeutic teams work in complete sync with each other. As a result, pupils make great gains in their academic, social, emotional, behavioural and physical development.

The school provides pupils with an extensive range of enrichment activities.

“Many are aimed at nurturing their confidence and preparing them for independent living. For example, pupils run a café. They budget, purchase ingredients, bake cakes and sell a range of snacks. Their customers include pupils in the adjacent mainstream school. Pupils also run a delivery service for peers and staff who order online. Pupils are rightly proud of this work.

The school has very high expectations for behaviour.

“Staff have frequent training in understanding the underlying causes of behaviour and how to respond to it. They consistently encourage and promote positive behaviours. The pastoral team deploys a range of bespoke strategies to support pupils to follow the school’s routines and expectations. These strategies are transformative.
