Weโ€™ve had a wonderful week here at school, made even better by the continued stretch of lovely weatherโ€”always a welcome boost for both students and staff!
...
This week marked an important milestone for our Year 11 students, as their GCSE exams have officially begun. Weโ€™ve been incredibly impressed by their focus, maturity, and the calm determination theyโ€™ve shown during this crucial time. We wish them all the best as they continue through the exam seasonโ€”your hard work is already making us proud.

We also had a heartfelt and memorable moment as we celebrated our Year 13 students in their Leaversโ€™ Assembly. It was an emotional but joyous occasion. We are so proud of everything this cohort has achieved, and while weโ€™re sad to see them go, weโ€™re excited for the bright futures ahead of them. Whether theyโ€™re heading off to university, apprenticeships, or the world of work, we know theyโ€™ll continue to shine.

We have been working hard on embedding our school values with both students and staff. Now, weโ€™d love to hear from you, our parent community! We are inviting parents to come into school and share their thoughts and feedback on our school values. Your input is incredibly valuable in shaping our school environment.

A separate message has been sent home via Arbor for families to sign up for this session, which will take place on Wednesday 14th May 2025.

We look forward to seeing many of you there and hearing your thoughts!

This week we were pleased to welcome PC Angelo, our Schools Early Intervention Officer from Nottinghamshire Police, to Chilwell School. As part of the Prevention Hub, PC Angelo plays a vital role in supporting our students and wider community. He delivers targeted intervention sessions, leads assemblies on important topics, and is always happy to speak with pupils who may have any concernsโ€”whether about school or the wider community. We're grateful for his continued support in helping to create a safe and positive environment for all.

As Deaf Awareness Week comes to a close, we want to take a moment to recognise its importance and reflect on this yearโ€™s theme, "Beyond Silence." The week is a time to raise awareness and promote understanding of the Deaf community and the importance of inclusion.

We are proud to have Deaf individuals as part of our school community and remain committed to ensuring that our school is a welcoming and supportive place for everyone.
Many of our students know Toby, our amazing Hearing Dog, who supports his dad, Mr Lucas. Toby is a wonderful reminder of the different ways people navigate the world and the power of support, understanding, and inclusion.

Letโ€™s continue to learn, listen, and move beyond silence โ€” together.

Thank you, as always, for your ongoing support. Wishing everyone a restful and sunny weekend!

Due to the forecasted high temperatures tomorrow and Friday, students will not be required to wear their blazers and may leave them at home. However, please remind your child to bring a water bottle to stay hydrated throughout the day.

As blazers are often used to carry equipment, please ...ensure that all necessary items (such as books, stationery, any other school materials i.e timetable) are packed in their bags.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
