Chiltern Wood School is a Special School currently supporting over 200 students ranging from ages 3 to 19 years, located across three sites in Cressex, Studley Green  and Downley.  We offer the opportunity to become part of a team of caring professionals, contributing purposefully to meeting the special educational needs of children in the High Wycombe area.  You will be well supported by welcoming and knowledgeable staff within a well-run, hard-working school which holds as its core value the wellbeing of its pupils, parents and staff. 

Our Downley site caters for pupils with a range of special educational needs from profound and learning difficulties, complex medical needs and severe learning difficulties with communication, physical and sensory needs. We pride ourselves on building positive relationships with our pupils, their families and supporting professionals to enable communication, physical, social and emotional development for each individual. We have extensive facilities on site to support this development and provide learning opportunities through a variety of experiences, lessons and routines.

As a school, we strive to continually improve our practice, and aim to secure only the very best outcomes for our pupils through high quality provision and practice. Previous experience is desired but not essential.
