Starting Reception in September 2027?

Are you considering Chilton Primary School for your child?

Choosing the right school is one of the most important decisions you’ll make. At Chilton, we create a happy, nurturing environment where children feel safe, valued and excited to learn from their very first day.

Through our play-based Early Years approach, exceptional outdoor learning spaces and strong pastoral care, we help every child develop the curiosity, independence and resilience to thrive.

The best way to experience Chilton is to see it in action.

Book Your Place Today

Our Reception Stay and Play and Forest School sessions are intentionally small to ensure families have plenty of time to meet staff, explore the school and ask questions.

Places are limited and sessions will fill quickly, so early booking is recommended. Visiting during the school day allows you to see our children learning, meet our staff and experience the atmosphere of the school first-hand.
