We are a state funded special school in London, England. We provide classroom and ward based education for children while they are in hospital. We are based at 4 hospital sites:

The Chelsea Children's Hospital School aims to ensure that children and young people have their rights to education preserved whilst in hospital. We provide access to the National Curriculum, taking into consideration each student's individual needs, and through this develop the whole pupil, spiritually, socially and intellectually. We firmly believe that education is a partnership between school and home, and we actively seek parental involvement in the learning process.

The school staff is a highly committed and experienced team comprising of teachers, nursery nurses, teaching assistants, drama therapists, computer technicians, an administrative officer, account, students, youth workers and volunteers. Performance management and target setting in conjunction with a continuous programmed of in service training, ensure the school keeps up to date with local and national developments in education. The school has an "Investors in People" award. We provide an enriched creative arts programme which includes weekly music and art workshops, drama, circle time, and regular visits from our poet in residence. This helps to develop emotional literacy and social skills.

Our school is based across 4 hospital sites.
