We have worked hard over the last 15 years to create a warm, caring and nurturing school environment which replicates the safety and security children have at home. This has become well known as The Chad Vale Way and everybody involved with our school becomes part of The Chad Vale Family.
Within school, we have extremely high expectations for learning and behaviour and we focus on ensuring that children achieve the very best that they can. Alongside the national curriculum we provide a rich and varied learning program which prepares children very well for life in secondary school and later life.
We teach the children about life skills, equality and diversity and give many opportunities for lifetime memories including a range of off-site visits and longer residential experiences. We instill a set of core values; of kindness, understanding, tolerance and a motivation to learn that are remembered long after the children have left.
