Following our Section 8 inspection in September 2022, Chiltern Hills Academy was confirmed as a ‘Good’ school, and the report celebrates many of the qualities that make our school a safe, inclusive, and aspirational place to learn.
A Confident and Positive Endorsement
The inspection team recognised our strong sense of community and our shared commitment to helping every young person Create, Aspire and Excel.
Among the key strengths highlighted were:

Pupils feel safe, respected, and well supported. Inspectors noted how positive relationships between students and staff underpin our calm, focused and welcoming atmosphere
High Aspirations for All

Inclusive Support for SEND Students
The report praised our inclusive ethos and dedicated SEND provision, which ensures all students are given the support they need to grow, achieve and feel part of the school community.
Excellent Behaviour and Attitudes
Pupils show maturity, motivation and pride in their work. The inspection recognised how consistently high expectations are embedded across the school.
Careers and Life Skills
From Year 8 onwards, students benefit from purposeful careers education, enrichment, and work-related opportunities, preparing them well for life beyond school.
Staff Commitment and Wellbeing
Our staff are passionate and dedicated. The report highlights the professional support and development they receive and the positive culture fostered by school leaders.
