I've been impressed with Chessington School from the moment my daughter started. The staff are always happy to help and the facilities are modern and well-maintained. The school's values of kindness and respect shine through in everything they do. I feel confident that my daughter is getting the best possible education.

"Good school with some areas for improvement"

We've been at Chessington School for two years now and while my son is happy here, I feel that the school could do more to support parents. Communication can be patchy at times and I've had issues with reporting absences. However, the teachers are generally good and the school's facilities are excellent. I'm hoping that things will improve as we continue with the school.

"A wonderful school that helped my child thrive"

My son attended Chessington School for three years and it was an outstanding experience for him. The teachers were always supportive and the extra-curricular activities were fantastic. My son loved the Winter Concert and the Fireworks, BBQ and Fair events. The school's pastoral care was also excellent and helped my son settle in quickly.
