Chilwell school is a great place to work. We are a warm and friendly staff, and you will find a great welcome if you choose to work with us. We are committed to the wellbeing of our staff and support a sensible work life
balance.
We place a high priority on staff being able to do their job without
having to jump through hoops or be tied up in unnecessary
distractions. As a result we have a committed group of people who
enjoy their work and value the opportunity to offer a great provision
for students.
We are an 11‐18 Foundation School located on the border of the
Nottnghamshire Borough of Broxtowe and Nottngham City. We
have a roll of 1056.
We have joint usage of the Olympia Leisure Centre, which is a thriving leisure centre serving the local community, as well as our own students.
The school is located on a stunning 30‐acre site. Attenborough
Nature Reserve, the Chilwell Manor Golf Club and Attenborough village border our grounds. Unusually, we also have a lake on site which is populated with a wide variety of wildlife.
Our school values are based upon developing a community that treasures education. We value our strong commitment to achieving success for our students and all who work within and with our family of schools. We
believe that our foundation school status means that we have the independence to drive forward standards and also the freedom to ensure that we meet the developing needs of our community. For nearly fifty years we have built a reputation for a school that cares and a school where students achieve.
Chilwell School was graded “Good” by Ofsted in May 2018. We believe in an open and transparent culture, and work hard to support staff and pupils in their development and learning. We fundamentally believe in a
broad and balanced curriculum, and as such remain totally committed to a wide portfolio of subjects within the curriculum that give pupils a breadth of experience and a choice of pathways.
Chilwell School has grown significantly over the past twelve months with a 25% increase in student numbers. The sixth form is expanding and the school has taken a leading role in developing provision and support for
students and families, resulting in frequent features on local and national media. In addition, we are delighted that Chilwell School is included in the latest tranche of schools that will be rebuilt under the DfE’s Schools
Rebuilding Programme and we anticipate work on this project to start shortly.
