About The Chalet School

The Chalet School is a small special school, catering for pupils aged 3 - 11, with complex learning difficulties including children with an autistic spectrum disorder. Their needs are deemed to fall outside the provision normally made within mainstream schools but less severe than provision needed for pupils with long lasting and severe or profound learning difficulties, whose range of needs, within Swindon, are normally met in Brimble Hill School. Our current agreed maximum number on roll is 36.

The Chalet School now has it's own website.

Admission Criteria

The LEA is the placing/admitting authority. Decisions on placement are made through SENRAP (Special Educational Needs Resource and Assessment Panel). Pupils will normally have a Statement of Special Educational Needs (SEN). Some very young children may take up a place in the nursery and Yr R while a statutory assessment is completed. The type of school appropriate for each pupil is always named in section 4 of the statement of SEN at the outcome of the Statutory Assessment.
