History
Chailey Heritage School was founded in 1903 by Grace Kimmins and Alice Rennie for children with physical disabilities.[1][6] The founding organisation was called the Guild of the Brave Poor Things.[7] The school moved site three miles within Chailey in 1936.[citation needed]
The 2002 inspection noted that the school was choosing to admit children with increasingly complex levels of need.[8]
Buildings
The school has a chapel, St Martin's Chapel, which is a Grade II listed building.[9][10] It was built in 1913; the architects were Ninian Comper and his son.[10]
School performance and inspections
As of 2023[update], the 2014 inspection is the most recent, with a judgement by Ofsted of Outstanding.[3] The school was judged Outstanding in the previous two inspections in 2009 and 2007.[4][11] The 2002 inspection before that did not result in a judgement category, but the inspectors concluded that "The high quality of teaching and care, good achievement of pupils and sound leadership make this an effective school that provides good value for money".[8]
The school has been recognised for good practice in several areas. It has a specialist service for young people aged up to 25, to support them to plan for the future.[5] It has had, starting in 1995, a group supported by an advocate for young people to give their views.[12][13] In 2005, the House of Commons noted that the school "is nationally recognised for its good practice guidance on intimate care for disabled children".[14] In 2003 the school was noted to make good use of the internet to share information with parents.[15]
Chailey Heritage Clinical Services (CHCS)
Chailey Heritage Clinical Services (CHCS) is the NHS service co-located with Chailey Heritage School to provide clinical and therapeutic input on site and in children's own homes.[16] In addition to their work at Chailey Heritage School they provide specialist services for children and young people with complex neurodisability throughout East and West Sussex.[16]
Chailey Heritage Foundation
The Chailey Heritage Foundation, which was founded as the Chailey Heritage,[17] is an English charity that owns and runs the school. It was founded out of the Guild of the Poor Brave Things in 1903 by Dame Grace Kimmins. The foundation specialises in support of children and young people with complex physical disabilities and health needs - predominantly through the Chailey Heritage School.[18] At one time the Heritage also owned and ran the Chailey Heritage Marine Hospital near to the village of Tide Mills.
Futures@Chailey Heritage is the charity's new transition service for young adults with physical disabilities and includes a Life Skills Centre.
