Oxford School Celebrates New Building Boost
An Oxford school which provides quality education and care for children and young people with special needs unveiled its newly refurbished facilities at an open day for parents and pupils. Chilworth House in Wheatley is part of The Witherslack Group’s growing portfolio and caters for pupils aged five to 14. More than £100k has been invested in the refurbishment which converted a 200 year old coach house on-site into a brand new dining and assembly room and a meeting and training room. Bob Marchbank, head teacher at Chilworth House, said: “We are absolutely delighted with our new rooms which have enabled us increase our registration from 24 to 30 pupils. “The children are extremely excited about being able to have hot meals on-site and the meeting and training room is a fantastic facility for in-house training and conferences. “We are now looking to further enhance our provision by developing a secondary school within close proximity of Chilworth House, which will enable us to provide continuous education to our pupils and which will carry on the ethos of The Witherslack Group.” |

On 5th December, KS2 pupils all took part in our French Day. |
Dear Parents & Carers, Happy New Year!! I hope that you all had an enjoyable Christmas. Last term was busy but productive and we are looking forward to an equally enjoyable term this term. We are pleased to welcome a number of New Pupils to KS1/2. We wish them all well. We sadly said goodbye to Mrs Craig and Mrs Charmley last term. Mrs Charmley and her family are moving to Guernsey next month so we wish them well in their new venture. We are pleased to welcome Miss Rapkins and Miss Mogavero as staff members in KS2 and Mr Palin, Ms Devey, Mr Gibbons, Ms Moore and Ms Murphy to KS3. The refurbishment of Groom’s Farm into our new Upper school is steadily progressing. This will also help give the school a homely feel, replicating that achieved in the Primary school. The teaching areas are spacious have plenty of natural light and fantastic views over the surrounding countryside since most are located on the first floor of the building. We will be changing our catering arrangements from this term, using a new company called Apetito. Their meals are frozen and oven cooked, rather than microwaved. We have already had trial days and the food was warmly received by staff and pupils. Yours |

Investors in pupils
We are currently working towards gaining an In-vestors in Pupils award. Investors in Pupils recog-nises the role pupils play in their learning, the curriculum and the day-to-day running of the school. The children have individual targets which they are working towards and we are in the process of pro-ducing a handbook written "by pupils-for the new pupils". |
