Chelmer Valley High School has been a specialist Engineering College since 2004. This is something we take pride in and we are committed to preparing our students for the challenges of the future by embracing a comprehensive STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) approach to education.
At Chelmer Valley High School, we view STEAM as more than just a collection of subjects. Rather than just learning the facts, STEAM education is about developing critical thinking, problem-solving skills, and the ability to collaborate across disciplines. This is embedded into our curriculum, where our courses at every Key Stage provide both theoretical knowledge and practical experience. By blending the analytical with the creative, our students learn to approach problems from multiple angles, equipping them to be well-rounded individuals who are not only academically strong but also creative, innovative and ready to take on the future.
We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment, empowering girls and non-binary students to excel in STEAM fields where they are typically under-represented. We actively encourage and support their participation through tailored programs, mentorship opportunities, and a culture that values diverse perspectives. By breaking down stereotypes and providing role models, we inspire all students to pursue their passions in STEAM, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to lead and innovate in the fields that shape our future.
