  • Local Offer

Welcome to Chosen Hill School’s website and thank you for your interest in our school.

We are passionate about learning and developing confident well rounded young people with the ambition to set big goals and the skills, qualities and qualifications to achieve them. Students at Chosen Hill are known, valued and challenged to reach beyond what they thought possible.

Chosen Hill School is a happy school, where students, staff and parents work closely in partnership. Self-belief, aspiration and mutual respect are key drivers in the pursuit of a culture excellence.

Our aim is that every individual will experience success. That doesn’t come magically - it is the result of hard work, perseverance and commitment by the student as well as good teaching, encouragement and feedback from staff. You will find all the information about student achievement and progress across the curriculum, and links to national performance data and reports, so you can see how well our young people do. You will also find a picture of life in a dynamic community where students grow in confidence, independence, leadership and resilience, not only in their lessons, but in the breadth of Chosen Hill school’s provision.

We have the highest expectations of our young people, not simply in their progress in learning, but in how they grow as good citizens. We want our students to be people we would be proud to know as our family, friends and neighbours. When our young people go out into the world, we want them to make a very positive difference. The ethos of the school is that we all help and look out for one another.

If you wish to be part of our success as a parent, student, employee or friend please do not hesitate to make contact with us to find out more and if you would like to visit us in person you are always very welcome. I look forward to meeting you.

Matt Pauling, Headteacher

Description

Inclusion and Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND)

At Chosen Hill we believe that:

  • The needs of all students should be met in order to achieve effective inclusion and positive outcomes.
  • All students will access a broad, balanced and enriching curriculum which is adapted, as appropriate, to meet individual needs.
  • All our staff have a shared responsibility for supporting students with special educational needs both inside and outside the classroom.
  • Effective assessment, provision and successful outcomes for students with SEND will be secured in partnership with parent/carer, students, local authorities and specialist agencies.

Parental and Student Engagement

We pride ourselves on building positive relationships with parents and carers. We are open and honest with parents and carers and students and encourage them to be the same with us.

We believe parental and student engagement is key to inclusion.

There should be an active partnership between parents and school, therefore we aim to keep communication channels open and communicate regularly.

Teaching, Learning and Assessment

At Chosen Hill School students are identified as having SEND through a variety of processes including the following:

  • Liaison with feeder schools.
  • Data provided by feeder schools.
  • Cognitive Ability Tests (CATS)
  • Screen tests for reading, writing and spelling.
  • Performance below age expected levels.
  • Concerns raised by parent or carer.
  • Concerns raised by teacher.
  • Liaison with external agencies.
  • Medical diagnosis

How will the school support my child?

School staff will support individuals at a level appropriate to their needs through effective differentiation in the classroom in order to achieve progress and attain positive outcomes.

The inclusion team aims to ensure where possible, full access to a broad and balanced curriculum for students on the Inclusion Register with special and additional needs.

Provision is reviewed regularly to ensure it addresses the needs of current students.
