🌟 We hope all of our families have had a wonderful summer break and are feeling refreshed and ready for the new school year ahead! 🌟

We are very excited to welcome everyone back for the start of the 2025/26 academic year. Our new Year 7 and Year 12 students will begin their exciting ...new journeys with us on Wednesday 3rd September, and the rest of our school community will be joining us on Thursday 4th September. We can’t wait to see our returning students and to welcome our new ones as they take their next steps.

We would also like to take a moment to share some very happy news 🎉💍. Over the summer holidays, our Head Teacher got married! Please join us in congratulating her on this special occasion. We are delighted to now introduce her as Mrs. Sarah York (formerly Baxter-Williams). We know you will join us in wishing her every happiness for the future.

Here’s to a fantastic year ahead, filled with learning, growth, and success for all our students! ✨📚

🎉 Congratulations to our Year 11 students! 🎉

It’s been a truly wonderful (and very busy!) day at Chilwell School as we’ve celebrated the fantastic achievements of our students receiving their GCSE results.

We are so proud of the hard work, determination, and resilience ...that each of you has shown – not just in your exams, but throughout your journey with us. Today is about recognising your effort, your growth, and the support of your families and teachers who have walked alongside you.

Whether you are continuing your studies with us in the sixth form, moving on to college, or exploring new opportunities, we wish you every success in the exciting next chapter ahead.

Well done, Chilwell School Class of 2025 – you’ve made us proud! 💙✨
