Chessington School

Chessington School is a high performing mixed secondary school, part of the Every Child Every Day Academy Trust. We believe that every child can achieve great things when supported by excellent teachers, a challenging curriculum and engaged families. Everyone at Chessington is Valued. We care deeply about our students and our staff. We do all we can to ensure each child is known, that they are happy and they make progress in their learning based on our knowledge of how they best learn. We are highly inclusive and very successful with students that are on track for Oxbridge or those that need significant support from our excellent team. This is our first promise. Everyday at Chessington is an Opportunity. Our children can be as busy at seven in the morning trampolining, running or preparing for Wimbledon Ball Boys and Girls as they may be at five thirty in the afternoon at booster sessions, wake boarding or at dissection club. School is more than just lessons, it’s a journey of many memories. Lessons, most importantly, are great opportunities for knowledge, critical thinking and personal development. We expect our students to take full advantage of all of these opportunities. This is our second promise. Every moment at Chessington is focused on success. Results are not the only thing that matters but they do matter. They are the doorway to life chances and so every moment at Chessington we seek opportunities to ensure excellent academic outcomes. We are forensic in our monitoring, rigorous in our support and relentless in driving our students to achieve more than they believe they could. Irrespective of prior learning and results, we make great academic progress with our students. This is our third promise.
