"Fantastic school with amazing staff"

I'm so impressed with the facilities at Chesterton Community College, the sports hall and pool are fantastic. My child is thriving in the supportive learning environment and the values of mutual respect and individuality really shine through. The staff are always approachable and willing to help.

"Exceptional school in every way"

I've been blown away by the school's commitment to pastoral care and the house system is a great way to foster friendships and team spirit. The curriculum is engaging and well-structured and my child is loving the extracurricular activities on offer.

"Good and bad"

I have mixed feelings about Chesterton Community College. The teachers were generally excellent and my child received a good education, but I did find the school's communication with parents to be hit and miss. The facilities were also not as well-maintained as I would have liked.
