Chadsgrove School and Specialist Sports College

Chadsgrove School is a purpose-built Local Authority maintained special school for children with Physical Disabilities and/or Complex Medical Needs located in north Worcestershire. The school is an all age (2-19) day school serving children from within Worcestershire and across the west midlands. Through high quality teaching, learning and pastoral care, we aim to develop confident, caring and independent young people who are able to succeed in life after school. Message From the Headteacher A warm welcome to our website which we hope you will find useful and interesting. Chadsgrove School is situated in Catshill, north Bromsgrove, and benefits from attractive and well resourced buildings and grounds. From the moment you walk through the door you will see that this is a happy, caring and secure environment with a nurturing family ethos. Our aims, values and ethos are built firmly on mutual respect and enabling everyone to develop as an individual. These values are evident in our policies, but also in our everyday interactions and activities. It is through the support we give to each other that we establish respect, friendship, a sense of belonging and effective team work. Our staff team are experienced and committed to excellence in teaching, learning and pastoral care. The children are at the heart of everything we do. Each and every one of them is special, and we enjoy celebrating their unique strengths and abilities. We have high aspirations for every child to feel safe, thrive and achieve their best, whilst taking into account their individual needs and starting points. We believe that learning should be irresistible, and offer a rich and engaging curriculum which focuses on creativity and first-hand experience both inside and outside the classroom. We develop each pupil’s independence and celebrate their successes. There is a balance of academic, artistic and physical education, as well as that of social and emotional well-being which prepares our pupils for future citizenship. We offer a wide and exciting range of extra-curricular opportunities such as clubs, educational visits, themed days, sporting events, plays, musical performances and assemblies. The school has a record of high standards and was again judged to be Outstanding by Ofsted in March 2020. However, we are never complacent and whilst celebrating what we do well are also quick to identify and address any area requiring development, so that we do all that we can to ensure the children make the best possible progress. We work closely in partnership with, and feel supported by, our families, governors, staff team and our local community. I feel very privileged to be able to lead this school, and hope that every child and family who attend will enjoy being a part of it. Please do get in touch if you would like to know more about us.
