At Chellaston Academy, children are at the heart of everything we do. Our vision is to create mature, confident and successful global citizens who can thrive in an ever‑changing world, guided by our shared values of Integrity, Care and Excellence.

Our students benefit from a broad and balanced curriculum, and we work closely with parents and carers to ensure that, when expectations are high and shared, every child can achieve great things. This includes promoting an excellent attitude centred on respect, high standards of appearance, good manners, full attendance and punctuality.
