We’d like to extend a massive thank you to all the organisations and individuals who participated and shared their time, knowledge, and expertise with our students.

Special thanks also go to the staff and volunteers whose hard work ensured the event ran smoothly.

At Chilwell School, we are committed to empowering our students with the tools and knowledge they need to make informed decisions about their futures. The Careers Fair was a wonderful example of this commitment in action, and we’re so proud of the opportunities it provided for our students.

We are pleased to offer school tours for families of prospective students in years 5 and 6 during the school day from Monday 7th October 2024 until half-term.

If you are interested in booking a tour of the school because you were unable to join us on our open evening, or because you want a further opportunity to see the school, please book a place here.

We held our online welcome evenings this week, and we would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took the time to join us. It was fantastic to see so many families engaging with the school community and showing interest in the plans and goals for the upcoming academic year. Your participation and enthusiasm are invaluable, and they set a positive tone for the year ahead.

Below, you will find the presentation slides for each year group, providing a summary of the key information shared during the evening. We hope these resources will be helpful as you and your child navigate the new school year.

Additionally, throughout the evening, we received a number of thoughtful questions from parents and guardians. We’ve compiled these questions, along with detailed responses, to ensure everyone has the information they need. You can find the Q&A section at the bottom of this page. Thank you once again for your support, and we look forward to working closely with you throughout the year!

Questions and answers

Please could you re-send guidance on how parents can see Google classrooms? It’s tricky with more than one child to get an overview.

Teachers can amend the settings for the course so that parents can see “guardian summaries”. Parents will receive emails when this is switched on by the subject teacher.

Is there an ipay app?

Yes, iPay has recently developed a parent app, making school payments easier for parents. Download the app ‘iPayimpact’ from the App Store or Google Play.

I wish Ipayimpact would do an auto top up when the account is low?

With iPayimpact, you can set up automated payments daily, weekly, or monthly to ensure your child’s account always has adequate funds.

How do we get the Unifrog login for pupils please?

Students have been issued unifrog logins. For students who need a reminder, they should contact student services.

How do you report absence if you have a hospital appointment? Arbor only allows on the day reporting?

Please send any future appointment information to  absence@chilwellschool.co.uk – see here for further information.
