Head Teacher Helen Key
Chailey is a thriving, successful school set in rural Sussex, just north of Lewes, and within easy reach of Brighton and Haywards Heath. We are proud of our traditional values and innovative approaches to Teaching and Learning.
Staff are friendly, dedicated and supportive; our students are happy and proud to be part of the school. We have a very low level of staff turnover because we are kind and supportive to each other. Chailey is a school where teachers and students can thrive. Of course, working in a school is demanding and all of our staff are hard-working and go above and beyond to support our young people.
Visitors to Chailey School often comment on the calm teaching environment and fantastic relationships between students and teachers.
We had our last Ofsted visit in January 2022 which we were very pleased with.
The Ofsted report contained comments such as:
We believe that this is a very strong foundation from which to aspire to excellence in everything we do.
