Cressex Site

Our Cressex Site site is located on Verney Avenue in the Cressex area of High Wycombe. It is our largest site hosting four departments for pupils with complex cognitive, sensory and communication needs. Pupils at this site age between 7 and 19 years old, including two 6th forms classes who focus on building skills for life beyond school.

Please note, the nature of our cohort changes every year depending on the complexity and age of the children who leave or join us. Prospective parents should be aware that pupils may move between sites at any time in their journey with us. To learn more about the set up of our school and departments, please book a tour via office@chilternwood.bucks.sch.uk.
