The school is located adjacent to the Chilwell Olympia sports complex and has an attached sixth-form college. In January 2005, the school was designated a specialist school in "Arts, Maths and Computing".[2] The school's typical enrolment is around 1,000 students aged 11 to 18, of which roughly 100 are enrolled at the sixth-form.[2] The Chilwell Sixth-Form was formerly known as Lakeview College and was run in collaboration with nearby school Alderman White. In September 2006, Chilwell governors made the decision that the college would be entirely managed and staffed by Chilwell School from September 2008. CurriculumThe school follows the National Curriculum. SpecialismsIn January 2005, the school was designated a specialist school in "Arts, Maths and Computing".[3] ArtsAs a result of the school's specialist status, the curriculum was re-designed to integrate ICT into art and textile design: textile art was designed by students while they learnt CAD/CAM skills. One of the aims of the programme was to combat gender stereotyping. According to teacher Sue Bedford, "many of the boys who completed the project said their perception of textiles had changed and that they were ... surprised that it wasn't all about sewing - even the girls were enlightened".[4] Thanks to the programme's success, the school was named a "Textile Centre for Excellence" and was featured in an Adobe case study.[4] The students' work was also exhibited at a local gallery.[5] ComputingThe school was a regional host for the Adobe/MTV Boom Music Video Academy in 2006, and had a computer suite donated by the company Educational Ideas in 2004. BAC3BAC³ was a project for gifted and talented pupils run by Chilwell in collaboration with nearby schools Alderman White and The Bramcote School.[6] It involved pupils from each school taking part in "activities days" reflecting the schools' respective specialisms. Ofsted inspectionsThe ratings below refer to the "overall effectiveness" of the school.[7]
Following the 2014 inspection (carried out on 7–8 October 2014) the report observed, "Effective leadership has led to consistently good teaching and achievement across the school."[9] Extra-curricular activitiesAnother Day filmIn 2006, as part of a media initiative known as The Project, students at Chilwell produced a short film entitled Another Day.[10] After starting as a pupil-run media literacy initiative, The Project eventually involved a large portion of the school in the film's planning, writing and production. The film premiered at the Broadway Cinema in Nottingham and was screened at the August 2006 Bang! Film Festival.[11] The Project featured in the Nottingham Post on numerous occasions[12][13] and was covered by the BBC.[14]The Feeling music videoAs a result of the very successful Another Day film project, pupils were offered the opportunity to make a music video for English rock band The Feeling. The band offered a B-side track ("Sun is Shining") for the music video.[15] The project was again led by students, overseen by media teachers. In December 2006, while still in its early stages, The Project 2 received local media coverage.[16][17] Debating Matters competitionIn 2010 and 2013, Chilwell Sixth-Form students reached the national finals of the Debating Matters competition in London.[18][19] BuildingsThe school was constructed in two stages. The main quadrangle of buildings was envisaged as an Upper School for pupils aged 13-16 and was constructed during 1970-71, followed shortly after by the sports facilities that are shared with Chilwell Olympia. A Lower School building was constructed to the south-west of the main quadrangle in 1975-76. The building is unusual in that it has an open-plan central mezzanine level linked to classroom spaces on the ground and first floors. During the late 1970s, as pupil numbers expanded above the maximum capacity at the Chilwell campus, the school temporarily used the former premises of Nether Street School in Beeston to provide additional classrooms to teach Year 6 pupils (then known as first year). With declining school rolls, the Lower School building was converted for use as a sixth-form centre from 1984. As above, the sixth-form was initially known as Lakeview College and was run in collaboration with other local secondary schools; it is now known as Chilwell Sixth-Form. The school buildings were all constructed using the CLASP pre-fabricated system. In October 2018, the former Lower School building - now the Chilwell Sixth-Form - was listed as Grade II building. The Historic England designation gave the following principal reasons for its architectural interest:
