The Cheshire School is an interim specialist school in Australia catering to primary-aged students with complex social, emotional, and behavioral difficulties. The school serves as a stepping stone for students to reintegrate successfully into mainstream education, focusing on building self-esteem, work habits, and positive behavior management skills. With a strong emphasis on English, Mathematics, and integrated inquiry units, the school ensures that each student meets their curriculum entitlement. Small class sizes and a high student-to-teacher ratio allow for a personalized learning experience, while collaboration with parents and carers helps build students’ confidence.
At Cheshire School, the program is designed to enhance students’ personal and social capabilities, preparing them to thrive as learners and responsible members of the community. Beyond academic curriculum, students engage in various activities such as meditation, warrior fitness, and yoga to develop self-regulation skills. The school acknowledges and respects the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples as Australia’s First People and Traditional Custodians of the land, fostering a spirit of respect, mutual understanding, and reconciliation within the school community.
Established with a mission to build stronger communities, healthier families, and happier childhoods, Cheshire School operates as a not-for-profit organization offering quality education, care, and therapy services for children. In addition to the specialist primary school, the school provides support programs for families in crisis and advocates for children with developmental delays or disabilities. Through its commitment to delivering impactful services and investing in community support qualifications, Cheshire School continues to make a positive difference in the lives of vulnerable children and families.
