Today is Cultural Diversity Day at The Chiltern school. Bears have enjoyed exploring a range of different countries and continents. We played drums to African music, learnt about boomerangs from Australia and made fans so we could dance to Spanish flamenco. pic.twitter.com/7W6a…

Dare to be Different!

Our vision is to develop children who are happy , confident , inquisitive and independent.

Confident to move on, they will have the ability and desire to build on the skills they have developed and they will have a strong set of practical, social and emotional life skills to enable them to get things done and get along with people.

Welcome to The Chiltern School - where we dare to be different!

Thank you for visiting our website, where we hope you will find information that will give you a greater insight into our inclusive, nurturing and inspiring school. 

We are a maintained school in the heart of Houghton Regis, Central Bedfordshire. The Chiltern School is an inclusive all through special school where staff have the specialist knowledge and skills to meet the needs of pupils aged 3 to 19 years with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities. This includes those with Severe Learning Difficulties (SLD), Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties (PMLD) and Autistic Spectrum Conditions (ASC).

As an inclusive community, celebrating diversity, we place great emphasis on the value of each individual. We recognise that we are all different and unique. Children and young people are at the centre of everything we do. We want our pupils to thrive in a happy, stimulating environment based on mutual respect. We pride ourselves on celebrating the steps children and young people make towards being independent and fulfilled individuals.

If you would like to find out more about us, please get in touch, we warmly welcome visits to the school.

I can sense the energy of the teaching staff. It feels like the kind of school where my child will thrive rather than stagnate/plod along.
