Downley Site

Our Downley Site site is located on Faulkner Way in the Downley area of High Wycombe. This site is host to our department for primary and secondary pupils with profound and multiple learning difficulties, as well as a department for pupils with complex and severe learning needs who may have medical or physio needs alongside. We also host a small selection of pupils with severe learning needs who may be able to access whole-class learning.

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.
