Chailey Heritage Primary Department/

Planting on the roofs. Light, airy corridors using warm, natural materials. Classrooms built in an elegant sweep around an ancient tree. Just some of the imaginative ideas introduced to create a safe, stimulating and nurturing environment, within a very special school.

Chailey Heritage is an independent, residential school, nationally recognised as a centre for children with severe physical and learning difficulties. We relocated the primary unit to a purpose built facility that also acts as an entrance for the whole school.

General accessibilty for the children is essential so the building has been designed to accommodate hoists, electrical doors and a wheelchair tracking system which allows users to be guided to their destination without assistance
