Why choose Chesterton?

Why choose our school for your child? There are lots of reason, but here are just a few:

  • We are an inclusive school, full of happy children.
  • We have a strong, diverse curriculum which is bespoke to the children at our school (link to curriculum map). This is enhanced by a rich curriculum offer.
  • Our children do really well. Our data is really strong and always well above national outcomes across the school.
  • We are a Gold UNICEF award Right Respecting school. The United Nations Conventions on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) underpins our behaviour policy and our curriculum.
  • We are very nurturing. There is strong pastoral care and we work hard to instil self-belief in our children that they can achieve anything they want to.
  • We have a maths, English and teaching school hub which means all our staff are teaching using the latest research-based approaches. 
  • We were part of the initial development of Little Wandle Letters and Sounds (early reading programme) and continue to support its development. Early reading is strong and a school priority.
  • Our children take part in forest school sessions run by our experienced forest school teachers.
