We strive to significantly improve the life chances and outcomes for our children and young people within our SEND, CofE and mainstream schools.
What it’s like to work at The Chalet School:
‘I feel working within a school community with so many like-minded people, we support the children to achieve so many life skills to prepare them for their future. Everyday is different, and the learning opportunities the children experience can vary from pretending to be on a boat to having Zoolab coming in, exploring and holding insects.
‘I'm still learning! Each day is still fresh and new with new challenges and experiences. There’s never a dull moment, yes there are challenges, but I've learnt to be adaptable. You have to think on your feet, but we are also able to celebrate numerous successes with the children.’
‘I enjoy working with all the different needs of the children in class, building relationships and spending time sharing their interests. We become a team and with the routines and structure of the session, day and week the children grow in confidence. You put the time in, and you get your rewards a smile, high five or a note from home.’
