John Chilton School is a mixed Community Special School funded by Ealing Local Authority for pupils aged 4-19 years who may have moderate to severe learning difficulties as a primary need or as a dual diagnosis to their medical or physical needs.

Our secondary department is uniquely located within the all-age Alec Reed Academy (ARA) building. This provides opportunities for inclusion and integration where appropriate for individuals. Pupils from both schools can share opportunities and advantages. 

Our primary department is co-located at Wood End Primary School (WEP) in Greenford. As JCS expands the WEP site is being redeveloped for our pupils, with a view to total occupancy in 2024. JCS and WEP look for opportunities for social inclusion through events and curriculum integration opportunities are possible.
