About Chellow Heights

Chellow Heights is a large special school located across two sites, offering exceptional learning environments including outdoor facilities, multi-sensory rooms, soft play areas, food technology rooms, and sensory support rooms.

Our West Site features additional resources such as a hydrotherapy pool, rebound therapy room, music therapy room, and jungle gym (soft play).

The South Site, smaller in size, benefits from extensive outdoor space.

Our mission: ‘Enjoy, achieve, excel, excite, one vision, one community, new heights’ reflects our commitment. We believe children learn best when they enjoy their activities. Despite being on two sites, we operate as one community with a shared vision to provide personalized education.

Chellow Heights is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children. All staff are required to undergo an Enhanced Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) check, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check will be completed as part of vetting.
