From her earliest days in nursery, the wonderful Chinthurst teaching team have built my child’s confidence with constant encouragement and positive acknowledgement of her efforts. They know her so well and she is thriving. As a family, we love being part of a community centred on kindness and care for others.

Our son joined Year Four in September and over the last few months we have seen him flourish. His teacher was able to settle him into his new class seamlessly and help him make friends quickly. His self-confidence has grown enormously, he has thrived on the academic challenge and he absolutely loves the sporting opportunities available to him. He is happy at Chinthurst – I wish he had started there earlier in his school career.

With our girls in their 3rd year at Chinthurst, we could not be happier with their experience thus far. They are thriving academically and they feel supported throughout by their wonderful teachers who know them so well, and by the inclusiveness of the children. As soon as we walked through the gates on our first tour, we saw the happiness, confidence and curiosity of the children and we knew it was the right choice for us.

We joined Chinthurst Reception and Year 2 in September 2018 having returned from living abroad. We have been embraced by the school with warm welcomes and friendliness extended to us by both the teachers and other parents. The school really takes into account each child as an individual and in our case the potential differences with previous schooling. The other pupils are always happy to help and we appreciate the teaching of good manners and values. We are all delighted with the school and look forward to many happy years as part of the Chinthurst family.

A fantastic school. My son is so very happy at Chinthurst, sending him here was the best decision we ever made. Never had an issue getting him to school in a morning. Friendly, caring and helpful staff. Polite and caring children. Family atmosphere - every child matters .

After countless sleepless nights and hours and hours of school tours, my 3 children ended up (somewhat by accident) at Chinthurst. That was almost 3 years ago and I have never looked back. There are other good local schools but Chinthurst is really very different; it promotes itself as a family school and initially I thought this was just a strap line but my experience has far surpassed my expectations. Within 2 weeks children twice the size (and age) of my 4 year old were waving at him, calling him by name and wishing him good morning. It's a wonderful community where all the children and parents bond like family. The teaching is an extension of this. In pre-prep the teachers would rival Mary Poppins and the individual attention that each child receives due to small class sizes is really very impressive. My twins skip into school and the animated reports I get every day after school are testament to this. The same can also be said of the main prep school where each teacher genuinely has passion for their chosen subjects which ignites the enthusiasm of the students and gets results! The school is known as having a strong sporting tradition and they've just won the national rugby championships, so they continue to build on this very important aspect of school life. The onsite heated pool and weekly lessons for every child means I don't have to arrange out of school lessons. The Saturday morning games clubs are popular with the children and parents alike and cater for countless sporting enthusiasts. There is also a huge list of extra-curricular activities that they can choose from, anything from chess, to drama, to breakdancing! When my children started I was new to the area and didn't have any local friends, however, after a few short weeks my diary was full ranging from mums nights out, a summer ball, a Mother's Day church services and class member birthday parties. I cannot sing the praises of this school enough, it really has been the best decision for my children. It's a delight to see them growing in such a nurturing and successful school.
