"Wonderful School Experience!"

We have been absolutely delighted with our experience at West Chiltington Community Primary School. The facilities are amazing, with a beautiful woodland and fields for the children to explore. The 'Be Kind, Work Hard, Have Fun' values really resonate with us, and the staff are so supportive and encouraging. Our child has thrived in Reception and we couldn't be happier.

"A Great Support System"

We have been really impressed with the support system at West Chiltington Community Primary School. The teachers are always available to chat and offer advice, and the 'Mental Health & Wellbeing' programme has been a great asset to our child. The school's commitment to safeguarding is also reassuring, and we feel confident that our child is safe and happy at school.

"A Great School with a Strong Community"

We have two children who attended West Chiltington Community Primary School and we were really impressed with the school's approach to education. The 'Operation Encompass' scheme was a great support to us as parents, and the 'easyfundraising' scheme is a fantastic way to raise funds for the school. We were sad to leave the school, but our children have moved on to secondary school and we still keep in touch with friends from the school.
