## About

Cheney is a genuinely comprehensive school, in the best sense of the term, with a fully inclusive intake, which represents not just our catchment area, but also modern Britain. We value creativity over conformity; education over league tables; the needs of students over data; self-discipline over sanctions; nuance over simplification; curiosity over acceptance; honesty over reassurance; the judgement of our community over the judgement of the official world.

## Recent parent reviews

- **4/5** — Mixed Feelings: My child has only been at Cheney School for a year, but we have had a mixed experience. The staff are generally friendly and supportive, and the facilities are excellent. However, we have had some issues with communication and organization, which has caused some unnecessary stress. I hope that as my child progresses through the school, these issues will be addressed and we can see more of the school's values in action. *(Sep 2023)*
- **5/5** — Outstanding School in Every Way!: I am thoroughly impressed with Cheney School. The values of creativity, inclusivity, and emotional intelligence are evident in every aspect of the school. My child has thrived in the Rumble Museum program and I have seen a significant improvement in their confidence and critical thinking skills. The facilities are excellent and the staff are passionate and dedicated. *(Jun 2023)*
- **4/5** — Cheney School: A True Community: I have two children who attended Cheney School and I couldn't be more proud of the individuals they have become. The school's emphasis on emotional intelligence, well-being, and community service has had a lasting impact on our family. While there have been some challenges, the school's commitment to its values and students is truly impressive. I would highly recommend Cheney School to any parent. *(Feb 2022)*
