🚁📸 A New View of Chilwell School! 🏫✨
We’re excited to share that Chilwell School has invested in a new drone, giving us the opportunity to capture our magnificent site from a whole new perspective! 🌟
With our exciting school rebuild plans currently in development, our drone will allow us to capture and share aerial footage of our site as we move forward on this important journey. It will help keep our families, pupils and wider community updated and connected as plans progress and, in time, as the vision for our future school begins to take shape. 🏗️✨
And it’s not just about the rebuild! Our drone will also help us showcase the fantastic things happening across our school and capture those special moments that bring our community together.
🎥 Take a look at some of the footage captured during last week’s Sports Day! From above, you can really appreciate our magnificent site and see our school community coming together for a brilliant day of fun, teamwork, competition and celebration. 🏃♀️🏃♂️🏅
We’re incredibly excited about the opportunities this new technology will bring and look forward to sharing more aerial views, special moments and updates with our community.
Watch this space… there’s plenty to look forward to! 🚁✨

HEADTEACHERS END OF TERM UPDATE
Dear Parents and Carers,
As we approach the end of the Spring term, I wanted to take the opportunity to share the many positive developments from across the school over recent weeks, and highlight some of our up and coming events.
Year 9 Options Evening
It was great to see so many families attending, engaging with staff and supporting students as they consider their next steps at our Year 9 Curriculum Choices Evening. Thank you to everyone who came along and contributed to such a positive event. A special mention to our Year 11 prefects, who were outstanding throughout the evening, welcoming families, supporting visitors and representing the school with maturity and pride.
Sporting Success
Our students have continued to represent the school brilliantly. The netball teams have enjoyed a very successful few weeks competing in the Broxtowe tournaments. Notably, our Year 8/9 team finished second in their age group and our Year 7 team secured an impressive 21–1 victory. In addition, our Year 9 boys’ football team reached the South Notts Cup quarter-finals, our Year 11 boys progressed to the semi-finals and our Year 7 rugby team were crowned joint county champions. We are incredibly proud of their teamwork and commitment.
World Book Day
We also marked World Book Day with a fantastic whole-school celebration. Students were surprised to see staff dressed as a range of book characters and a variety of activities took place throughout the day to promote a love of reading. It was a great opportunity to celebrate literacy and engage students in reading in a fun and memorable way.
Comic Relief
Students have also shown fantastic generosity and community spirit through their support of Comic Relief. Thanks to their enthusiasm and contributions, we raised an impressive £900. This is a wonderful example of our school community coming together for an important cause.
Spring Music Concert
We recently celebrated our Spring Concert, Spring Sounds and it was an amazing evening. Students from Year 7 to Year 13 gave amazing performances, we are incredibly proud of our talented students - what a wonderful night!
Year 10 Careers Day
Our Year 10 Careers Day was a fantastic success, with the whole year group taking part in a range of valuable activities. More than 30 external providers from local businesses and organisations supported the day, giving students the opportunity to hear a variety of careers presentations and take part in individual careers interviews. It was a really positive experience that helped students build confidence, broaden their understanding of future pathways and think carefully about their next steps. We are very grateful to all of the providers who helped make the day such a success.
New Style Uniform
Looking ahead, from September we will be launching our new style school uniform. This will be introduced with our new Year 7 students, while students in other year groups will have the option to adopt the new blazer or the new jumper as part of a phased transition. Further details are available on the school website.
Summer Term
In school, we continue to focus on both high standards of behaviour and strong pastoral support. Staff have been developing and sharing strategies to support student engagement and reduce the need for sanctions, alongside maintaining clear and consistent expectations. At the same time, we are placing a strong emphasis on recognising and rewarding positive behaviour, with reward events and recognition activities taking place.
The summer term also marks the beginning of GCSE examinations for our Year 11 students. We are incredibly proud of their hard work, resilience and determination throughout their studies and we wish them every success as they approach this important milestone. We will continue to support them every step of the way.
Dates
16th April 2026 Year 8 Parents Evening
30th April 2026 Year 12 Parents Evening
14th May 2026 Year 7 Parents Evening
30th June 2026 Sixth Form Transition
15th July 2026 Sports Day
Finally, thank you for your continued support this term. It has been a busy and productive period and we are very proud of all that our students have achieved.
We wish you and your families a restful and enjoyable Easter break.
Kind regards,
Sarah York ... See MoreSee Less

We understand that this week's secondary school place offers have caused frustration and uncertainty for some families, particularly those who were hoping for a place at their local school.
We want to reassure families within our community that Chilwell School is currently working with the Local Authority to explore the possibility of offering additional Year 7 places. Our priority is to support local children and ensure that families in our area have access to a high-quality secondary education close to home.
We strongly believe that children should have the opportunity to attend a school within their own community, learning alongside local friends, building lasting connections and avoiding long daily journeys of 30–40 minutes or more to schools further away.
As we explore the potential for additional places, we are also looking ahead to the future of Chilwell School. Plans are in place for significant development of the site, including brand new facilities expected to be completed within the next three years, allowing us to grow into a larger, modern school that can support even more young people from our local area.
If you are interested in a place at Chilwell School, please contact our office team (office@chilwellschool.co.uk), who will be happy to speak with you and keep you informed as discussions progress.
Chilwell School is proud to serve its community and we remain committed to ensuring that local children have the opportunity to attend a school at the heart of the community they live in. ... See MoreSee Less
