Chelmer Valley High School is an academy school based on a large site on the outskirts of Chelmsford, Essex, England. It has specialisms in engineering and leadership, and is assessed as one of the best performing comprehensive schools in Essex; it was given an "outstanding" rating by Ofsted in 2007, and as "good" in 2013. The school is the home of the Blue Falcons Gymnastic Display Team.The school has a number of blocks, providing a large amount of classrooms, offices and study spaces for both students and staff.FinancesExtra funding resulting from the school's Engineering College status has allowed developments in the technology and science departments. The school spent £25,000 on a new fitness suite. Due to the closure of St Peters College in August 2011, Chelmer Valley has stepped in to take in a larger number of students, resulting in a large amount of money being added to the schools fund. The school is currently expanding to make room for the increased number of students.InspectionsFrom the September 2007 inspection, Ofsted rated the school as "outstanding", the highest award available. Ofsted said "Chelmer Valley is a vibrant and dynamic school that has not stood still since the last inspection. The school judges its effectiveness to be good but, because so much of its work is exemplary, inspectors judge it to be outstanding... the school is justifiably regarded as a highly successful specialist college in engineering. It has excellent provision for design and technology, mathematics and the sciences and is exceptionally successful in embedding the positive influence of engineering in the wider curriculum."DevelopmentsThe school converted to academy status in August 2011, but continues to have engineering as a specialism.
