Chelsea Children's Hospital School News

I hope that all the year 11 pupils can breath a sigh of relief as their coursework is completed by Friday 29th April. Take a good relaxing break this weekend and make sure you have plenty of exercise and sleep in the run up to the exams. For many of you having your education disrupted by a hospital admission has been very difficult, but we have been incredibly impressed by your determination to reach your goals despite everything.

To our pupils who are at their home schools, we will be thinking of you over the next two months and we would be delighted if you could let us know your results.

We will be interviewing for two new members of staff on the 26th May. One is to replace Emma who is the Key stage one and two teacher at the Royal Brompton Hospital. She is going to be training as an educational Psychologist at the Tavistock in September. The post will be for a Key stage 1 & 2 teacher, who will be responsible for science and one other subject. The candidate would need to have good ICT skills and experience of special needs the post has one SEN point and one management point.

We have a new post for a Learning assistant working as a member of the team at all hospital sites. This candidate would need to have excellent ICT skills, an ability to work in a team and some experience of working with children.
