💛 Year 11s Supporting PAPYRUS 💛

Our amazing Year 11 students are helping to raise awareness for PAPYRUS – Prevention of Young Suicide.

They’re promoting charity wristbands, now available from the main office.
We’re asking for a small donation for each one, with all... proceeds going directly to PAPYRUS.

Please show your support — pop by the main office, make a donation and wear your wristband with pride. 💫

Together, we can help save young lives. 💛

✨ What an incredible evening we had at our Open Evening! ✨

It was such a pleasure to welcome potential families to Chilwell and to see our school come alive with so much energy. The corridors and classrooms were buzzing with excited young minds exploring hands-on science ...investigations, creative arts challenges, fun games and experiments. 🎨🔬⚽

Our visitors left with big smiles (and arms full of goodies!), while our Wheel of Fortune and Chilwell mascots stole the show. 🧸🦢

But what truly made the evening so special was the warmth, creativity and ambition shining from our amazing students. A HUGE thank you to our prefects and student helpers who were exemplary throughout the night — you represented Chilwell with pride and made us all so proud. 🌟👏

✨ Headteacher’s Update ✨

What an incredible evening we had last night at our Open Evening! It was such a pleasure to welcome potential families to Chilwell and to see our school come alive with so much energy. The corridors and classrooms were buzzing with excited young minds taking ...part in a wide variety of activities, games and experiments. From hands-on science investigations to creative challenges in the arts, there was something for everyone to enjoy.

Children left with armfuls of wonderful things to remind them of their visit - along with plenty of smiles and stories to share at home. Our Wheel of Fortune was especially popular, with lucky winners taking home Chilwell merchandise. Chester the teddy, our Cygnus swan mascot and the Chilwell footballs were huge hits, creating lots of happy moments.

Most importantly, the evening showcased the warmth, creativity and ambition of our staff and students - qualities that make our school such a special place to learn and grow.
