"Amazing school"

I was a bit worried about finding a new school for my children in Basingstoke but Chiltern Primary has exceeded all of our expectations. The staff are caring, supportive and dedicated to making learning fun and accessible for all. My son has thrived in the nursery class and made such great friends.

"A good school, but room for improvement"

We were at Chiltern Primary for a few years and found the staff to be very friendly and supportive. However, we did experience some issues with the communication between the school and parents. With a few improvements to communication and organisation, I believe the school could be even better.
